The main problem would be getting the necessary atoms to your factory. It likely would be easier to construct fuel on earth or on the moon and send it up. (If your rocket exploded the ‘BOOM’ might be a bit louder if its cargo were rocket fuel instead of raw materials for rocket fuel, but the practical difference would be zero)

Your best bet would be to use mass that’s present in space, but unfortunately (1), there isn’t that much in orbit. In theory, one could scope up cosmic dust, tiny meteorites, and old satellites in orbit. It would be a challenge to scale that up, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stardust_(spacecraft) didn’t catch kilograms of stuff, even though it explicitly went for a comet.

Capturing a larger meteorite would work, but larger meteorites are harder to catch.

If you’re extremely ambitious, build a solar powered particle accelerator in space, use it to create electrons, neutrons and protons (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter_creation), turn those into atoms, and build fuel from those (apart from the practical problem of scaling that up, there are ‘a few’ Ph.D’s to be earned there.)

(1) or fortunately, as having lots of mass there would make space flight dangerous (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_debris)

What? I have never seen that as a problem, and I've probably consumed thousands of benchmarking articles over the years. Benchmarks either use the (in my pov stupid) "X percentage units faster" or x faster/slower method. The latter is obvious, the former is not.

As to 'times as fast' vs 'times faster' vs 'times slower': I don't see how there could be any confusion.

Icahn has multiple investments. If he loses everything from Hertz, he is still remains one of the 25 richest people in the country.

Secondly the VC issue isn't because VCs are not investors - they are. It is because VCs spread their money around and know very well that their investment returns depend on getting a home run or two. Gambling on high risk, high return strategies is therefore in the VCs interest, but not in the interest of people whose net worth is almost entirely in the company. This dynamic is widely understood and is a common source of conflict between VCs and founders.

Thirdly related-party transactions are not necessarily a bad thing. I listed it as half in the company's interest. It is very good that when the company needs to do business they have someone to call who can make deals happen. But the activist investor isn't always acting in the company's best interests.

That said, you are correct that Icahn was not the one who loaded Hertz with debt. (That restructuring happened in 2005 when Ford sold it to investment bankers.) But he has his own history of loading companies down with debt ever since he bought TWA back in the mid-80s. So the fact that he didn't do it to Hertz doesn't change the fact that he has proven willing to do so in the past.
It's not hostile towards this reader (me). It's perfectly appropriate. I would be annoyed if they weren't there.
It's not that they want to cite qualified immunity. It's that they MUST. That's the nature of precedent.

Here's an example. In 2018, a police officer slammed an unarmed man into the ground. Look at the judge's decision: http://graphics.thomsonreuters.com/srepfiles/qualified-immun...

"In so holding, the Court notes that a court can almost always manufacture a factual distinction. For example, here, McGarry was in his kitchen, while York was in a Target parking lot. That kind of factual difference and all of the factual differences listed above should not
make a difference in the qualified immunity analysis, but, using Judge -- now Justice -- Gorsuch’s test from Kerns v. Bader, they “might make a constitutional difference,” 663 F.3d at 1187 (emphasis in original), so the Court must conclude that the officer is entitled to qualified
immunity. While the Court thinks that a reasonable officer should be able to discern from York that grabbing and throwing an unarmed man to the ground without warning for arguing with a police officer amounts to excessive force, Justice Gorsuch would probably think that the police
officer’s Taser threat in York is a fact that might make a difference."

The judge very much wants to NOT grant qualified immunity, but he's up against a wall and is angry about it.
They work in exactly the way that they are negotiated, nothing you've said changes that.

It would absolutely have to be part of the negotiated agreement with the police unions and yes the retired officers of 2040 should be impacted.

We use JSX identical to a Template DSL more or less. We don't use JSX at all like React does. That's why Solid so performant. It does similar thing to Svelte. We don't compile it into HyperScript. You can copy and paste html with one exception (void elements JSX makes you close input tags etc). But otherwise I support all the standard stuff pre-adding the dynamic bits. Solid supports `class` and `for` and `style` strings etc..

If one of the 18 use of force complaints against Chauvin had also resulted in a civil lawsuit that found Chauvin liable, he might have been removed from the force earlier.

That's one theory at least—I think it's a reasonable one.

I don't think removing QI from police officers should be the end-state of reform, but I think it's a necessary step and a good one.
I don't disagree and, to be clear, I am against qualified immunity as it currently exists. But, my point is that SCOTUS has little reason to take these cases and risk being overruled by Congress. It's one thing for Congress to roll back 5+ year old decisions where the Court still had Scalia and Kennedy (or others) sitting, it would be another for Congress to roll back a present-day decision issued by the current makeup. The Court would lose face, and I doubt Roberts or the Justices are interested in an outcome where they would so quickly have their hand slapped by Congress.
> Where exactly do you expect people without jobs, or with significantly reduced income to move to?

I mean I personally hope that the government steps in and helps them stay where they are, but that will also keep rents artificially high and would be a transfer of wealth from the treasury to landlords. So pros and cons.

Realistically what seems to be happening is people are moving to lower cost areas within California or outside the state, or moving in with family.
How does the new Falcon 9 engine compare to the legendary Saturn 5?
Normal DIMM's have a SPD flash chip soldered to the board which identifies the ram/timing parameters for the firmware/OS. At least on phones, to save a penny they forgo this and frequently the RAM capacity is tied to the model via hardcoded tables in the firmware. It wouldn't surprise me if at least on some of these "laptop" devices with soldered on ram something similar isn't being done.

So, at a minimum your flashing new ram parms to a SPD, or hacking the device model number somewhere. AKA, even with a rework station its likely a lot more than just swapping the chips, if there is sufficient PC/etc linage you might be able to swap the SPD chip as well, otherwise its going to be more than a mechanical heat it up, clean the pads, and drop/heat the new chip.

We shouldn't conflate voting with "will of the people."

Especially when races can be so close and you have to wait up to 6 years to vote someone out. 6 years is a much different time frame politically today than it was in the 18th century. A term that long doesn't shield senators from political pressure, but it allows lobbyists to get more bang for their buck and further the power imbalance between rich and the rest of us.

Back in the day police departments used to do psychological screening on candidates as part of the hiring process. I've heard that many departments no longer do so under pressure from the police unions. I wonder how many of the extremely brutal cops would have been caught by this type of screening?

This ignores the entire practical reality of qualified immunity and isn't helpful in the discussion at all.
Because they act neither in their own name nor for their own benefit.

As a taxpayer, I'd much prefer individual DMV agents being sued and having to defend themselves, compared to the DMV itself being sued and my tax money being used in its defense.
I think you've got it backwards: the government itself isn't immune, but individual government employees are. In other words, you can sue the state of Utah over its policy, but not the individual employees implementing that policy.
The police department is also the party who was legally responsible for those goods at the time, so obviously the defendant's case would be against the police department. The department is the one who was wronged by the officer, so they are the ones who have cause against him personally.
A tool that automatically turns background faces into the faces of random animals would actually do quite well.
Probably not a great example, but in the early 1930s, the Texas Rangers and State Police publicly backed the wrong candidate for governor and 'Ma' Ferguson fired all the former and disbanded the latter. That's why Texas has a "Department of Public Safety" rather than state police.

Not exactly the proudest moment, but with public support it works.

Edit: a similar doctrine should (but doesn't) apply to decisionmakers at large corporations. If the CEO is told repeatedly about a safety failure and refuses to take action, it's ridiculous to me that the CEO isn't personally liable for any damage or injury caused as a result.
Huh, well I'll be.

I like this a lot. Even the passive acknowledgment that technology and engineering do not exist in a bubble exclusive from the real world is meaningful. I do think the call to action to invest in our communities matters.

Yep more or less. I was working with Adam, Surplus' author, for a bit before he didn't have time to work on the project further. I've take a different tact now with the reactive system and improved the rendering technique a bit. But he definitely deserves the credit for pioneering the JSX approach 4 years ago now. My initial JSX work was generalizing it for other reactive libraries and then it just grew to this.
At high enough frequencies digital design becomes analogue design.

It's a great time to be a digital engineer. Projects like the PocketVNA and the NanoVNA-V2 make it feasible for you to do professional grade S parameter measurements of digital traces at home.

Pair them with QucsStudio, and you have a near professional grade high speed simulation package available for less than $500. So cool.

And, speaking of Rules of Thumb - Embedded Artistry's page calls out Eric Bogatin's Signal Integrity Rules of Thumb as well, which is a fantastic series of blog posts on high speed digital design and signal integrity. Worth a read if high speed digital design is your thing.

Sadly, I believe this is the case. Someone else said it more succinctly than I can:

They're right. Look at our reaction to a deadly virus that could easily kill a million people in this country versus what happens when a few windows get smashed, buildings set on fire, and some TVs get stolen from stores.

It will diff the virtual dom, but you'll still be running the `render()` method again for every component. That is, unless you replace it with a PureComponent that does shallow diffing, write your own `shouldComponentUpdate` (if still using classes), or use something like Redux that will actually manage updates outside of React's component lifecycle and take advantage of immutable data structures.

Yes test points are important for absolutely everything on the first iteration of a new hardware design, you just have no idea which ones you need before starting the project!

I think it is also important to have a big enough test point to actually use too! There have been many times I have been trying to hold a probe to a tiny little exposed circle pad, just wishing it was something big enough to clip a lead to.
Yes. But if you only wanted oxidiser, you could skip the awkward "capture a cometary nucleus" step by scooping air. Since oxygen is much heavier than hydrogen, this could save you a lot in mass launched from the Earth.
Hi,

OP here. I have had this idea of building an Internet Library for quite some time now. So, thanks to a perfectly timed random tweet, I started working on it in Coda. It's still a WIP and we are adding topics on it every week.

If you want to contribute to the project, my email is on the link.

Do let me know what you think about it!
That's a very good point. I don't think it had even occurred to me that it would be more difficult with pipenv or poetry. But, admittedly, I haven't made it far into either of them - a little noodling around, just enough to figure out that they don't really address any pain points for me.

Miraculously I am still on my one and only VP. Had the matte black and it has been scratched and used so the brass underneath shows through, I am pretty attached to it now. I strongly recommend Nanami Papers Journals and other Tomoe River products. Great quality and value, not much more than a Rhodia and 2x the pages.
I strongly agree with this. We need an independent prosecutorial agency for handling police matters.

The police and prosecutors need to work closely together to function. It's unreasonable to ask the prosecutors to then also prosecute police powers. It's biased and unjust—even when the actors are all doing their best to act in good faith.
