Any material will work if thick enough. Thick concrete, water/ice. It just has to be thick enough to also handle the secondary radiation from higher energy stuff. We're talking a need for several feet of concrete or several inches of lead.

For a rocky body like Mars the 'easiest' solution is simply excavate trenches to put your habitats in and then piling several meters of regolith over the top, or using lava tubes/caves. If excavating was too difficult you could similarly just make bricks of compressed/fused regolith and pile them up. Titan has a rocky core but is mostly ice where a manned mission would be, there you'd probably just carve out large blocks of ice and place them around your habitat.

The best universal solution would probably be some sort of sandwich of materials that was still decently thick.
It's extremely misleading to talk about Hannah Arendt's suspicion of capitalism as if it's a defining feature of her thought. What she despised was progress for progress' sake, a feeling she traced to the (supposed) ancient Greek prejudice against productivity. Like the article mentions, in her hierarchy of human activity, action is above work which is above labor. Our society, she argues, has become a laboring society, where public space (space reserved for action) has been expropriated. She would prefer a society based around action. She never claimed that capitalism failed to produce abundance but, rather, she questions the idea of productivity and abundance as ends-in-themselves.

Arendt was extremely critical of 20th century socialist societies, which she saw as stripping people of actual freedoms that existed in capitalist societies and replacing them with illusory freedoms. For her, socialism, as implemented in the real world, was a continuation of what she disliked about capitalism (the expropriation of the public sphere). Moreover, she viewed collective ownership as a contradiction in terms.
Very tempted to use this it's elegant. I would also challenge you to consider implementing a specimen that puts some weight on some of the font equivalent to the dyslexiefont typeface which is great for reading log files.
I'm not trying to take the wind out of the sails of any vehicles going elsewhere, just think LEO is a good place to start. Something like, before crossing an ocean, let's cross the Florida straits over to the Bahamas.

> The Earth's magnetosphere actually captures dangerous radiation and various anomalies in the belt distribution cause portions of low-Earth orbits to be irradiated.

Pick the favorable orbits. We have data on our ISS astronauts. Seems like we can go years up there if we wanted.

> And the medical issues.

Most folks are going to want to go up for a few weeks/months and then come back to tell the tale. A habitat might employ centripetal acceleration. Anyhow, I think medical issues will be manageable. I suspect there are a few orders of magnitude more people who are interested in a vacation in space or work from space scenario than a long distance voyage to the moon or mars where you are cut off from the home world and have a big latency cost on communications.

I think this is about filling rockets with large sums of cargo to keep the space business growing. If a starship can be made for $5 million, there are plenty of yachts just down the coast from Cape Canaveral that cost more than that. If you could give folks a stay in LEO for ~$50k, there will be plenty of people who can afford that. I bet you could find tech companies that would let you work remotely from space as a signing bonus.

> There are a handful of (very interesting) crystal manufacturing that requires zero-g. These could be done in automated or human tended LEO or LLO manufacturing labs. You don't need a large human presence.

Agreed, I'd add that this isn't so much about keeping the number of people down, but increasing the demand for people to go into space. I'm excited about the side effects it will have for technology and science.

> To the downsides, LEO lacks any resources whatsoever, and still has a nontrivial delta-v to the rest of the system. All your arguments in favor could be applied to the Moon, which does have LOTS of resources and better radiation shielding.

The moon and mars are good places to settle too. I'm only arguing that Earth LEO is easier to start with because Earth has more readily available resources than any of the other locations. LEO is still hard enough where we'll have to improve our ships and space quarters for design and comfort. So I think it's a good stepping stone.

Any civilization, in any galaxy, would have the number one, no? They would have triangles and circles, too. There are certain universals that seem to transcend, even if we are living in a simulation, etc.

This idea, of the immaterial nature of numbers is the notion of platonic forms. That idea came from the pythagoreans who claimed that the universe is fundamentally made of numbers -- and that there are certain harmonies in numbers that result in order and beauty in the cosmos.

I'm with the other comments: where do they say they cap at 12%? Costco brings a lot of value to the consumer, IMO, but I feel like that's deliberately shooting themselves in the foot.

And why the arbitrary 12%? Why not 15 or 21?
2006 being the last update makes me not want to use it. But I suspect it is a stable library that doesn't need much update. I'm just getting back into c/c++ development and I'm very interested in libraries like these.
I would say nowadays, from a scale-up perspective we've never had it better.

Multi-core CPUs are cheaper than ever, and terabytes of RAM are not uncommon.

The only problem is that to have an HA solution with these monster machines, you need at least 2 of them, and maybe a similarly sized test system.
>It's possible that these patents are not going to be used to restrict AV1's use.

Recovery takes too long for such preventative measures to matter at all. It increases the delay but does not reduce load.

The hospitals explode almost immediately with medium to hard cases.

(We know thanks to Chinese data that recovery can easily be a month for harder cases. We know how fast medical systems get overwhelmed, and how much overcapacity would be necessary.)
I tried cyclamate in Europe, and I thought it was disgusting.

I don't do diet sodas, but my mother remembered cyclamate very fondly from before the US ban. So when offered, I tried it, and had to put it in the context that the alternative my mother had was saccharin, which is even worse. I don't doubt that cyclamate got railroaded by the sugar lobby and is probably perfectly safe, but from my very limited experience I think the newer alternatives are probably better. (I've tried Diet Coke recently, and if I weren't paying attention I might not notice the difference.)
I kept seeing the author mentioned. He’s a famous value investor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Greenblatt

“ In 1985, Greenblatt started a hedge fund, Gotham Capital, with $7 million, most of which was provided by junk-bond king Michael Milken.[4] Robert Goldstein joined Gotham Capital in 1989.[1] Through his firm Gotham Capital, Greenblatt presided over an annualized return of 50% ("after all expenses" but "before general partner's incentive allocation" fees) or 30% (net of fees[5]) from 1985 to 1994 by investing in ""special situations" like spinoffs and other corporate restructurings".[6][7] In January 1995 Gotham returned all capital of outside partners (approximately $500 million).”
If you're intrigued by this, William Leary's book "Project COLDFEET: Secret Mission to a Soviet Ice Station" is definitely worth a read.
It isn't "Low N" though. 45 adults for a clinical study like this one is actually a very respectable size, particularly given their measures (and their respective reliability/studies backing them).

Seems like every study I read non-science people accuse it of having too few participants, without even considering the type of study (clinical Vs. statistical) and measures (subjective Vs. objective, reliability, literature, etc).

This is not a "Low N" study. If you believe it is then explain the statistics or methodology problems.

Your likely to get a lot of bad language advice here. Different languages solve different domain problems. The term "Full Stack" is often thrown about to describe using a series of languages in cooperation to solve a contiguous product. Most likely you should have basic familiarity in a database language, a server side language, and a front end language, or pick a simple framework to learn.

Other domain stacks exist, that may differ in their supporting technologies.

There is a lot of good advice in this thread for using free online course material to start out. Find something that overlaps with the sort of jobs that you find interesting, and finish any project that is relevant. Then you can re-asses the technologies.
The thing is, if we were to develop the tech needed to cool Venus, it would be orders of magnitude cheaper to just use it here on earth to offset CO2/CO emissions and reverse the greenhouse effect.

Streaming Data Paradigm Overview
Battery backed renewable power is competing primarily with natural gas in being able to absorb and release power. They have to last 10-20 years. Batteries heat up when you charge or discharge them, which causes lifetime decrease and efficiency losses.

If these capacitors have lower internal resistance (and it sounds like they do) and last reliably for 10 years... yeah, I can see these being a next generation alternative to battery based storage at the grid level.

If they can manufacture them in a rectangular plate kind of form factor like a cell phone battery, I imagine there could be a huge benefit there. I think people would pay a premium to be able to charge their phone to last for 10 hours in 12 minutes (50C charging rate).

This is exciting. That they're in production and being tested by outside partners is a huge validation point that this is real.
And the awful thing if you can’t pinpoint what caused and fixed it is that it can more easily regress later.

The cybertruck charging rate sounds great, but where are the charging stations? You know, the ones in southeastern Oregon or southwestern New Mexico?

I'm not trying to be a debbie-downer about this. I absolutely believe in an electrical vehicle future. But I don't believe it will happen via charging - it will happen via battery swapping, probably using a standard mandated by national (or international) level bodies.

Great question I don't have a solid answer to. Due to my seniority I tend to either be the lead or act as the lead for teams. It is easier for me to reason with the team to buy into these kind of things. The worst offenders will tend to be weeded out over time either by changing their ways or leaving. I don't have much sympathy for them if they can't see how their actions affect others. A team has no place for a rogue agent.
If you're hiring them personally, no. This is only applicable when the hiring entity is a company.

On the other hand, if you're wealthy and run your household via e.g. a family LLC which contracts that cleaner in a professional capacity, then - technically - yes. It's possible there's an exception for scenarios like this, but I'm not familiar with it.

The dramatically reduced incidence of various non-technical family members having to go to me or Geek Squad for yet another virus infection says otherwise.
Risk of infecting others when you're without symptoms is supposedly small..

I'm by no means an expert, but to me the problem seems to be lack of proactive social distancing; and lack of proactive testing of everyone with symptoms.

Current guidelines seems statistically sound, it's just that we have little mitigation for the few that do slip through.

I completely agree with this. Just because an idea already exist doesn't mean you shouldn't build a product for it. But you should try and build it in some better way. A lot of products exist but aren't very good or have not been "modernised". It's then A LOT easier to get that product off the ground because of the hardest things is idea validation.

The European bailout of the Euro in May 2010 was a Germany-led bailout of Greek banks, with Germany borrowing the money and German taxpayers shouldering the risk (and following up with subsequent bailout rounds).

(They may have made a little money off the operation on net, yes, but that little accounting profit is a lot less impressive when you consider the risk of loss to which the German taxpayer was exposed.)
I gotta admit. I was / am always amazed that they are as accurate as they are.

> there is a massive market of young people that would love to own a Tesla when they reach the required income level.

I'm one of them. If I would be on the market for a car it would be a Tesla, but I most likely never will never own one. It's a great car, green, geeky and the performance is superb, but I much prefer to use public transportation when getting around. Most of my friends (age ~30) with disposable income just don't want a car. We live in cities in Europe where public transportation is good enough. Owning a car is just a burden if you would only use it for weekend getaways.

The people who live in the countryside where you need a car for day-to-day life just can't afford it.

But apart from that, yeah sure, lets build floating cities and (at least partly) self sufficient habitats on earth first, before we try it do it so far away we need at least 6 months to get there.

What are these services? SaaS products, or things your company built?

Okta, Azure AD, and other identity services offer password sign-in from a custom dashboard you setup. It would be cheap to test out. That way you just grant access to the dashboard and can change the password easily without worrying about whether it replicated to the vault of a user. Also, the sign-in experience is slick, but may need a browser extension.

I've heard BitWarden is good, but I'd be really careful about how you manage hosting for any central password manager. 1password and the like handle the maintenance for you and can scale up to a lot of users.

If you are using enterprise SaaS, or the services are owned by your company, then you should strongly consider SSO. This will save you a lot of headaches, but you'll also need to think about user provisioning/deprovisioning because blocking sign-in might not be enough in all cases. Products like Azure AD and Okta handle this stuff for you too.

Example scenario: a bad SaaS product will have unlimited lifetimes on mobile tokens for convenience. If you assume the user only uses the web version and enable SSO, then you aren't mitigating the problem with the mobile app. You need to deprovision the user to purge the tokens from the app they installed on their personal device.

From the article:

I don't think it is Celsius, and Coulombs (which would be the correct SI unit) doesn't really make sense. Some number of Amps would make sense, but 10 or 20 isn't very impressive.

Really? I think the Soviet campaign in the Far East began 3 months after VE day, after the US had dropped 2 atomic bombs on Japan, and lasted less than 4 weeks. Its real strategic importance was that it forced the Japanese to realize the Soviet Union would not broker a negotiated peace with the other Allies. The Soviets had no beef with Japan, to them it was a land grab,
