I really don't think people take exactly that into account.

Right now, and even for the past few decades, electrical use tended to be offered as either a freebie with just being somewhere as a guest or renter, or was generally priced in with discount for conglomerate use. As more and more power intensive appliances become more common (I.e, shift to E.V.) the pricing model is likely to have to change.

Right now you can host 100's of people at a campground, even with an AC on say every third, or every other camper. Throw 100 electric vehicles having to charge at the same time, and you may find the bill has to pass on to users just to be viable.
Is it though? The link only discusses the theory of placing a large magnet in the Mars-Sun L1 point. It does not discuss the makings of that magnet. What's going to power it? Solar? Nuclear? So at the end of the day, I'm still left not knowing if we have the tech to be able to do this. This seems like a no-brainer of something should/needs/must be done to make humans living on Mars anything more than just a though exerciser.
I personally would bombard with comets. Bring down the temperature and deposit water on the planet.

>So you're saying that getting less votes in an election makes one better at getting the most votes? Fascinating the logic, or rather lack thereof, of Trump supporters.

Wow, this is an incredibly stupid post. I'm not a Trump supporter; that should have been obvious from my posts. And you think that getting more votes equals winning an election, in a place where the electoral system makes this not the case? And then you fire back at me with this idiotic post? You're beyond help. It's no wonder Trump won with people like you on the other side.

Satellite Boom to ‘Wreak Havoc’ on Astrophotography, NASA Says
I sold honey for a time, at significantly higher prices than the market price, retail price was $1.99/.25 ounce (our wholesale price was a little less than 50% of the retail). To put it in perspective a typical 12oz honey bear retails for $3.50-$4.

The secret to our success was coloring it red, and giving it a "vampire theme" at the height of the Vampire show/movie craze and selling it through Hot Topic (a Fortune 500 retailer with our target demographic and we were selling through 800 stores nationwide).
vSphere 7: Essential Services for the Modern Hybrid Cloud
As both a long-time developer and, more recently, a UI designer, I'd assert that having a UI designer for a 6 person user-base doesn't really make sense, unless maybe it's 6 highly paid full-time users that are doing almost all of their work through it— in which case it would probably be critical.

In my 20 year tech career, I've seen far fewer cases of "why was the UI designer so involved, here" than cases of "Oh, the developers will know what makes sense to users, so we'll just have a designer come in at the end and make it look nice." The latter is a much bigger mistake than the former.
And that's exactly the problem... we don't know what we don't know. We are assuming life exists only in the form that we have encountered it on Earth. And we're assuming that just because we can't find something, that it isn't there. We are taking all things solely from our perspective and we are convinced that they can't be any other way. This seems extremely egocentric and could be disastrous when encounter something far outside of our narrow perspective.

And what if we find a bacteria on Titan that lives beneath the surface but is harmful to humans, will we exterminate it for our own sake? What level of intelligence is required before we attribute value to another species.

As far as rights are concerned, this is a real issue. If the first country to Titan plants a flag and then says, "This moon is ours". Does that make it theirs? Will countries fight wars to protect their perceived rights to a particular moon? It may be arbitrary but that doesn't mean it isn't real. National boarders are arbitrary but they are very real. But in the same case as with countries, what gives us the right as a species to go a moon and claim it. Is it a right based on force, an ethical right, a right of first claim? The very idea of colonization assumes certain rights. The question is what are those rights based on?

And no I'm not trolling. It's sad that we are prepared to discuss ideas without being prepared to discuss the underlying philosophies. I'm simply saying that before we consider what to colonize or how, we should consider whether the very notion of space colonization is valid. This isn't a moot point. If we're wrong, at worst it could mean the end of our species. All cases of colonization on earth have lead to genocide or war... no exceptions. Why do we think space colonization will be different?
No.

I was recently wondering if 12VDC shouldn't become the new current standard for inside homes. Everything is still 230VAC (in the EU at least, I think the US uses 110V?), which is way too much for a lot of household appliances. The only reason modern LED bulbs are hot and expensive is that they need to convert down to 12V from 230V. It's mostly washing machines and kitchen appliances that need that much (and some of those even need 380V).

Almost everything in the home needs adapters and power bricks to convert it to something sensible, which usually is 12VDC. So why not just make that the standard?

>By the way, if you are a programmer and you implement those sleazy dialogs, think about your life choices.

I think the logic underlying this sentiment is never consistently applied. Do we call out the people working on Tor or encryption because of how it is used by some to cause harm? Do we call out the other negative results of a person's job (tax money going to a war machine is pretty common for those in the US)? Do we call out the person cooking burgers at the local fast food joint for the effects our fast food consumption has on our health as a whole? Do we call out doctors who are members of groups that limit the supply of doctors, thus increasing prices and resulting in people getting less healthcare coverage?

What about the people who are against unions, which may be a factor in why some choose not to risk their job opposing implementing data gathering on their own website?
As someone who’s done UX for 20 years, I agree with you entirely. Some of the value of a UX process is that decisions are reversible. When you user test it can be difficult to integrate the results, especially if many things are wrong. With a thought-out design and a good paper trail of decisions, design decisions can be evaluated atomically and the team can react faster to user feedback.

Sadly, some of the value of a UX process is that many teams will not test with users at all. A process can give people a better shot at building something useful to begin with.

But your point stands well for most software: sketch something Good Enough, build it quickly, and get feedback.

It's unknown whether it is capable of protecting the human cargo on its way to Mars. Maybe a design with habitation encased in the propellant tanks is a better idea for longer transits.

Can you elaborate? Changing a password with Bitwarden is just editing the field or–even better–a one-click button to (re)generate a new random password (including options for length and complexity requirements). If you are logged into the browser addon, it will also (depending how javascript-hacky the website is) prompt to save the new password when you modify the password in a website's settings.

Unless you're talking about mass-replacing a single password across a bunch of different entries? Which is certainly not a limitation of any password manager; reusing a password is just horrible.

This is identical to the Rule of 72, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_72. Except that you are using 70. The amazing thing about the rule of 72 is that it works pretty well even for rates greater than 10%.
I do the same thing. The shopping list says "milk", I look at the options on the shelf and select a suitable one. Price is likely a parameter, but since it's just a local decision I've more or less forgotten the actual numbers a minute later.

I suppose I would notice if the price was suddenly $5 for something that usually costs $1, but for many items I'm not even sure I would.

Interested to get an idea of how active you find these projects? especially in terms of updates, patching and maintenance. Understand a lot of work goes into developing and maintaining these, not picking on those who put the hard work in, would be happy to contribute helping out any of these.

N.b have done some due diligence on some projects, mainly ones mentioned above, reviewing their docs, community, commit frequency to repos and updates they publish to various channels, but looking for a perspective from the consumer (or contributor) side if you have it, thanks
Maybe they are less piece conscious than before. There seem to be less coupon cutting with data analytics applying constant sales to attract buyers. Prices are skewed this way.

less exposure to this type of information in the first place

Or perhaps just as significantly: this information is now constantly in flux. No longer are prices set by hand. Everything (at Amazon and Walmart, at least) is priced by computers that are constantly trying to determine the ideal price that maximize profits. So who could “know” the price of anything if the number is always changing?
The problem with KeepassXC in larger teams than, like, 4 people is the shared secret/keyfile - basically this means that whenever a person leaves you have to change encryption keys and make all users rotate their secrets.

Same in case of a leak.

With solutions using per-user keys, you just have to revoke/remove keys for that single user. GNU pass (FOSS) and Bitwarden (paid, open source) both do this.
Yeah I got an "egg crate" mattress topper off of Amazon and had to let that thing sit in my garage for a week before it didn't reek. I can only wonder how much it off gassed after that, but my bedroom has decent ventilation so hopefully I didn't breathe in too many carcinogens.

Fun fact: in 2008 it was announced that Silverlight would be available for Nokia's Series40 phones and Series60 (SymbianOS) smartphones.[0]

In 2010 (ten years ago from now!) it finally released for Symbian 9.x.[1,2]

This is true, but a lot of people here would be great at "the FLOPS are right" or "the read latency is right" (incredibly boring show), while most also determined either consciously or not that recalling the price of consumer products wasn't that worthwhile.

Ikebana Tips for Software Design
An approach that I was taught in an interaction design course (taken from SIGCHI research) that doesn't seem to be used much, is to have a sample of intended users design what they think they want (with simple approaches like pencil and paper, pasting UI widgets on paper, etc.), and then have the designer synthesize and refine those ideas into something more polished/concrete utilizing their own knowledge of the principles of the medium. This helps to more accurately reflect the mental models of users, and sometimes even helps elucidate functional requirements for the overall project that may not be readily apparent. This probably mostly works for internal/enterprise development where the overarching goal of the software being built is commonly understood by the user base, rather than a greenfield consumer facing product.
I have a hard time taking a supposedly user-focused design resource seriously when they set paragraph text in a bold sans serif font. Not reader-friendly. Anybody who's been to design school would learn not to do that in Type 1. It might be a valuable resource, but that's not the right way to get off on the right foot, especially with a design-savvy user-base.
product is beautiful!

For Cosmic Rays the only thing is just a lot of atomic nuclei. You need pure mass. This is why a transit to Mars or Saturn is going to be hard for us to pull off in the near term. All those nuclei are expensive to get into orbit right now.

Outside of that, there is a 'graded Z' shield. Here, you make a layer cake of various atomic nuclei (the Zs), going from heavier to lighter. Typically Tantalum down to Tin and down to Aluminum. They physics here aren't super important, but for lower energy radiation, you can get down to a 60% mass reduction for similar shielding protection.

The problem is that it's the higher energy radiation that you are worried about, the Cosmic Rays. Graded Z shields pretty much work like anything else at those energies. Under our current physics mumbo-jumbo, you just need nuclei.

Price is right products are paid placements that link into existing advertising campaigns. It wasn't random trivia -- the folks who watched the show and signed up to play the game watched TV! People knew what a 1986 Ford Festiva cost because... they saw the ads on TV. There was a sort of democracy of experience where we all saw the same ads.

Now, advertising is hyper-focused. I don't see ads for a set of pots and pans. I get ads for baseball gloves and Yubikey. My father in law gets ads for conservative political nonsense.

Planting CP to target political prisoners is nothing compared to what the Nazis and various other regimes have done. What makes you think the humans in this place are any different?
Yeah, forgot to mention that Japan and South Korea are colonized as well.

Footing the cost of defense spending is a sweet lie for the population of the occupied countries. And some of them are actually paying for this "help". South Korea, for example, had to increase the payments for the US "protection". BTW, this is exactly parlance that criminals use to justify racket: "You pay us for protection, pal. Win-win!"

And I also forgot that US spies all over the world. Every computer device has numerous CIA backdoors. This obviously provides huge advantage to US businesses.
I'd say it's more indicative of the randomness of contestant inclusion than anything else. Are the rates of "regular watcher" contestants decreasing? Have the producers changed the type of contestant they decide to include?

I dont remember what is the requirement in my part of Europe (maybe there is a EU standard?) for free range chickens, but anyway: many years ago a close family friend wanted to start producing free range eggs on his farm.
