Dunno. I imagine it's use-case dependent, quads can go faster (rc quads can hit 200mph) and are more nimble (presumably due to lower moment of inertia).

I have zero clue how they would scale up though. All I know is that I'm not flying in a quad and helicopters seem to haul heavy shit pretty well.
Most managers have no clue about what I'm doing, about best practices, how to break down a task, etc. That is left to the people who actually know the job. There's no way they could make sure something is done "right" - besides checking that the final product fulfills the requirements.

From my perspective a manager's job is to enable me to do my job, get me the things I need, when I need them, and act as a shield between myself and people who want to waste my time - by attending meetings with leadership and customers.

And if they did that, I would call them a great manager.

However if they waste my time with endless meetings, where I need to explain technical things they lack the foundational knowledge to understand, because they want to exercise close control over the process to make sure it's done "right", then they're killing my productivity and are a terrible manager.
I had a room in an apartment that had no sunlight, and was lusting after CoeLux after it launched. Almost goes without saying, but the first to manufacture an affordable solution at scale would make a ludicrous amount of money, especially with much of the world in lockdown.

The Austrian school is pretty famous for rejecting empiricism and basically saying it's their way or nothing; it may come to valid conclusions but because they reject any evidentiary evaluation of their assumptions its unfalsifiable (and therefore not a scientific way of approaching the world)

If their conclusions didn't happen to support those in power and capital in particular, they'd be just another meaningless research group.
This reminds me of the BBS equivalent.

I buy physical books like crazy. Unfortunately, I can similarly describe Amazon's book shipping practices.

Some of the things Amazon's done to the books I've ordered:

- shipped in a huge box without padding, so books bounce around inside the box, crushing their sides and corners

- shipped in mailing envelope, arriving bent

- shipped out of the warehouse with large rips in the cover and inner pages

Apparently way back when, Amazon was shipping books shrinkwrapped between two pieces of cardboard, which protects them. They certainly aren't taking that level of care now.

If there's a bookstore (marketplace) with decent inventory that actually takes care of the books they ship, I'd pay a premium.

I'm at the stage now where I get annoyed when I have to print anything.

Typically I only need to do so for banks of government agencies so that my signature counts.

Though I successfully signed a government document on an iPad and argued that their instructions didn't say I couldn't use a digital pen to sign it. (Still had to print it off though)

The only real use case I can think of (I'm sure there are others) for truly personal printing is photography - even then, I think I'd probably send it off to a specialist printers.

Through cumulative experiences interspersed with informed analysis, you've become more refined and more discriminating in your tastes, and simultaneously more capable of articulating your preferences with sophisticated nuance.

These tendencies towards a more informed, articulate aesthetic are coloured by a parallel inclination to recalibrate past experiences in terms of your newfound aesthetic epistemology, whilst integrating an elevated enthusiasm from an epoch in which your tastes were less refined and your enthusiasm for musical novelty was more pronounced.

Laser printers aren't excluded from toner DRM.

I have a Samsung CLP-315W, and kept having problems detecting my first-party replacement toner cartridges because there were DRM chips in them [1]. I think a firmware upgrade even made the DRM worse.

This was almost a decade ago. If I had to get a high-volume home printer now, I'd probably consider one with refillable ink tanks.

There's a lot more detail, including many photos and the full autopsy report, at this site [WARNING - includes photos from the scene of death (not gory)]: https://truecrimesociety.com/2019/08/22/unidentified-and-mos...

There are two remarkable things that I saw in the autopsy report -

First, there were "abundant" feces in his intestines, which suggests to me (though I am not a doctor) that he didn't starve to death.

Second, he had an abdominal scar, which might be pretty identifying to someone who knew him, and also supports the theory of a recurring cancer or similar illness.

It certainly won’t amplify anything since the only powered component is the LED.

It might concentrate RF at the focus to some degree, but only if you put your head right at the focus, and even then it’s almost certainly orders of magnitude less exposure than using a cell phone.

Yes, caused by an earthquake 500 times more powerful than the magnitude 4.5 you had previously stated:

> An offshore earthquake of magnitude 4.5 or above could cause submarine avalanches and create dangerous tsunamis with waves higher than 26 feet

Turbidity currents occur on the regular without earthquakes and rarely result in substantial waves. They have been observed to happen due to earthquakes, but this is a rare event. The Grand Banks quake is the only known earthquake to have done this, and as you pointed out it was an earthquake with a much larger magnitude.

In the grand scheme of things, turbidity events don't significantly impact the overall risk of tsunamis. The tsunami risk overwhelmingly comes from the earthquakes themselves, not the turbidity events they may trigger.
I suspect you are not in SE Asia or another region with a very humid climate, where the opposite is true.

In dry climates, inkjet heads will clog.

In wet climates, laser toner will clump.

Inkjets with CIS mods (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_ink_system ) are extremely popular in SE Asia.

It may not even have anything to do with the wallet that the 'hackers' have in their possession. Bitcoin wallets typically have the address section in the clear, with the private keys encrypted behind a strong passphrase.

Some people enjoy taking a wallet with some random (worthless) private keys then edit it and toss in some addresses with massive amounts of bitcoin behind them, then release it to the web and grab some popcorn as people throw ridiculous amounts of compute at the wallet trying to crack it.
You might find the book "How Equal Temperament Ruined Harmony" interesting, which presents a reasonably strong case that pre-1900s western music treated enharmonics as distinct pitches ("enharmonic" in the old sense seems to have referred to the distinction). Singers knew about major and minor semitones, and they knew where to place commas. Though, no one seemed to go as far as doing full just intonation due to various kinds of obvious and non-obvious impracticalities.

All in all, I think it's safe to say that string players and singers prefer slightly flatter thirds in harmonies than 12-EDO -- which is what the above amounts to -- and deal with commas accordingly.
I don't say one is better than the other, I'm saying that USA insistently claiming they're the best is propaganda. Propaganda than younger citizens are having a hard time believing.

If you ask me, the USSR was indeed worse then, but current USA vs China, I can't say. You'd need a big scale to weight all their crimes, both foreign and domestic.

It isn't slow. If all you're doing is reading, then the overhead will be pretty much the same as if you were using the Espressif SDK, because you'll find the bottleneck is I/O, not the extras that MicroPython provides.

A cold boot is slower, and takes a couple seconds, but after that most of the latency is comparable to if you were doing it with the SDK.

MicroPython is heavily optimised, and doesn't supply a lot of the mutable madness that makes CPython so slow. (For example, a for loop in CPython is slower than a list expression. In MicroPython, they're the same speed.)

There are a lot of municipalities doing exactly what you say and making the money back fast. But a lot of states have blocked doing this, and the incumbents fight like crazy to turn people against the idea. My favorite way of implementing it is open access. The city installs and owns the infrastructure and anyone can come be an ISP on it. You get great competition. It's basically the same as how it works with the community owning the roads and you pick who you want to service your house (FedEx, UPS, yourself, DoorDash, the local roofing guy, etc.)

The other thing that would be worthwhile is local loop unbundling, which is basically open access but with existing providers having to open their infrastructure.

I highly recommend muninetworks.org and their podcast if you want to learn more about municipal broadband.
Beautifully designed minimalist launcher in Android
I've had an HP multifunction laser printer for at least 5 years maybe 8 years. In that time I've bought two black toner cartridges and no colour cartridges.

This time period included going back to school, a technical college, where I printed a ton of reports (and many misprints).
I have a laser printer over wireless. Other than changing paper and changing toner once every 3 years, it just works.

I’d say we’ve come quite far. My Brother printer doesn’t suck. I can print from phone while I’m taking a dookie. The future is here.
Thank god – though I'll probably leave that on my router for the near future ;-)
5G: Using drones to beam signals from the stratosphere
Maximum lifespan extension has been very stagnant. Hieronymus of Cardia, a companion of Alexander the Great who outlived his famous friend by about 80 years, dying at the age of 104 in the year 250 BC.

That’s someone famous enough to be memorable, presumably he wasn’t the record holder 2270 years ago. Most medical progress has been around avoiding people dying young rather than actually extending lifespans after 90. So moving the needle when life expectancy hits 85+ becomes far more difficult.

Try to get a laser with automatic duplex printing if you want to save paper. With manual duplex printing mistakes can cost a significant proportion of paper and may require significant amounts of effort to do correctly.

I currently have a Brother HL-2140 (also has HL-21 model number) and it has 'manual duplex'. This means if I want to save paper I have to mark a corner of the first page before printing and see what orientation it prints compared to that mark (it is not intuitive). I have been printing one page at a time because of this, although now I have written this down I realise I could do better.

So I'm a little bit confused, the linked 250W corn bulb does indeed claim 35,000 lumens: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W5DGBJZ/ref=as_li_ss_tl

But when I look at similar 250W corn bulbs on the Home Depot site they only claim 7,384 lumens: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Halco-Lighting-Technologies-250-...

How is that Amazon bulb producing 5X the lumens?

EDIT: To answer my own question, it's because the Amazon bulb actually uses 250W while the Home Depot product listings are "250W equivalent" and only use ~50W. Hence the 5X difference in light output.
How to make Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, EULA for B2B SaaS?
I am building a B2B SaaS product. It's basically a CRM -- businesses will subscribe to our service and they will enter and manage their customers' info and do typical "CRM stuff".

We don't plan selling data to the Russians or other naughty things like that.

I need appropriate Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and EULA documents. What are my options? The three I see are:

1) Get a lawyer and pay $20000.

2) Take a similar company's Terms and modify it. What we plan to do is conceptually very similar to other CRM companies.

3) Use some sort of template or generator.
Yeah I guess that would work as a last resort but it's a pretty big hoop to jump through compared to just scp-ing the binary over. I guess I will stick with SDK 28 builds as long as I possibly can and start looking at alternatives for the longer term.
