I ran some numbers, for the Milky Way[1], the visible matter is roughly 1e11 solar masses, while the dark matter halo contains[2] about 1-2e12 solar masses (depends on your cut-off), I'll use 1e12.

The moon is about 3.7e-8 solar masses[3], so you' need about 2.7e19 of these "rocks" to make up the Milky Way dark matter halo. For comparison the Milky Way has about 250e9 stars[4].

So we're talking over 100 million "cold rocks" per star in our galaxy.

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean for it to be sarcastic (I didn't mean for that to come off as sarcastic either). I was just trying to summarize the article for those who might have been blocked by the paywall.
What is it you'd like to do with Zoom from Discord? Fusebot allows you to write code in Node.js and use all public npm modules, so you can pretty much do anything.
Thank you for this. This is the clearest way I’ve seen my approach to grieving spelled out.

What could be done to alter the range? It seems like when there’s something like high school that everyone experiences, there’s bound to be good and bad.

Also had a deeply positive experience in high school. For all its faults in America, and there are many, I was enriched intellectually and socially, and I look back on those days fondly.
> They are saying they view their obligations and the attitude of their interlocutors as artifice and sincerity as idiocy

This seems like a big leap in conclusions just from calling life (or social norms) a game.
Time is very much a dimension inextricably related to the spatial dimensions (and vice versa) in reality so arguably one should find it irksome when the topic of a 4th spatial dimension isn't fully qualified instead of the other way around.

I think that can be forgiven in 1884 though :)
Electromagnetism is the 4th dimension, that’s why we are bound by the speed of light, as every dimension is bound by those below it
For high vacuum (i.e. NOT UHV), Viton gaskets are fine basically anywhere. They leak water however. If you have some odd shapes that are hard to clamp you can use any variety of epoxies (from e.g. https://www.epotek.com/)

Glass to metal is the only tough nut at the low end of high vacuum. Glue works but you will always have to worry about thermal stresses crating a leak someday.

There's a new fs pulse laser technique for directly bonding glass to stainless, but its still not quite there yet.

At my company we developed a new type of all-metal seal as drop in replacement for viton gaskets. These can get you way below where viton can, and work well for arbitrarily shaped ports. It's awesome. Still a few bugs to work out to make sure you get a tight seal before cracking the glass.
> It's about the state owning the means of production

No, its about the people (specifically, the workers) controlling the means of production. The State is a vehicle for that in some forms of socialism, but not all. There are forms of socialism that see a role for the state but not that of vehicle of control of the means of production, and there are forms of socialism (e.g., libertarian socialism) which reject statism entirely (in fact, not only does that whole spectrum exist withi socialism broadly, the entire state socialist to anti-statist spectrum exists within explicitly Marxist socialism.)

Too many people’s ideas of “socialism” is a product of Leninist propaganda (often through the further filter of Western right-wing propaganda, which has a weird semi-alignment with Leninists in misrepesenting “socialism”.)

I actually share a lot of your experience, even going so far that I would say that I was also disappointed in the same sense. But I don’t regret reading it, quite the opposite, because it certainly left a lasting memory.

The book is bizarre, illogical, confusing, and I was often trying to get a grasp of what I am supposed to make of what’s happening, if that makes sense. With that, I don’t think I seriously contemplated the scene that you describe as much as you did, since if I recall correctly, by the time it happened the book already had lost its grip on rationality. (Or was it when I still thought the story could make perfect sense, and only retroactively realized it was already going off the rails much earlier?)

Wasn’t there a “human bomb” that was essentially a weird caricature of a balloonish clown person floating into the air or something?

But I agree, it would be hard for me to say that I “liked” the book, I think it was one of the books where I was happy when it was over. Even though I’d have missed a rather complex experience that I still think about, had I not read it.

How it works constantly changes. When you bought it, it didn't share your internet. Now it does.

I bought my mom a tv and a few months later she mentioned a new wifi network she didn't understand...turns out with an OTA update the TV now broadcasts its own Wifi network and lord knows what it does on it.

I would not have bought it under those terms, the terms changed, and now I have to take a loss to replace the TV with something that doesn't do that.

So instead, if the functionality of the device changes after the fact, the company who updated the app should be liable for cost to replace the device with a new one that doesn't have the new behaviour.

A camp counselor introduced a bunch of us to "Nick Danger" one summer back in the '70's, and it was instant infatuation for me. I bought all of their albums I could find and listened to them all the time. No drugs involved at all, on my side at least. Their love of language play, political stances, satire and parody, and obvious skill and love of what they did made Firesign Theater amazing.
IDEA has wicked refactoring abilities. If I rename a class, it will find all the functions whith input param of this class and ask to rename them as well. It can identify class references from plain strings. This is useful at least in Java where xmls reference classes or testdata comes from another variable. The last one may be personal subjective bias, but auto complete options are always spot on, heavily affected by context and recent selection, while LSP auto complete suggestions while good, are a rough estimate of what I want.

Rural family restaurants can handle this - or any place where you get outside of “heavy traffic” - just ask! As long as the table would have been empty anyway it doesn’t cost them extra - or leave a generous tip.

I don't really see any of this emotional divorce stuff mentioned in the article in my timeline on LinkedIn. Just the usual people reposting all the corporate PR bullshit about how the company loves the planet and blowing their own trumpets about how amazingly committed they are to making a difference on orphan secretary poodle day. It's a sickening mess of people stumbling over each other to be the most politically correct obedient corporate drone. People are even more fake than on Facebook.

Of course the people who are actually good at their jobs are never seen there. They don't need to profile themselves because they're well-known to be good. And they don't have thousands of contacts because they only accept requests from people they actually work with. It's almost like an inverse proof of capability.

The only reason I'm still on there is because it's handy when you need another job. The social part is a complete failure IMO.

I use 30 and 40 year old software all the time, and more importantly, the data from 30 and 40 year old software all the time, with no problem at all.

There is no compatibility or obsolescence problem with ios, ios apps, or most importantly the data in ios apps, that is not artificially created by people who benefit from such problems.

Expecting a 7 year old build of anything to still work is entirely "realistic".
>Under socialism, a battery factory that invents a more efficient process for creating batteries can pass that saving directly to the workers - rather than working 40 hours a week they can work 20. Their leisure time is increased.

In socialism, you work according to your ability to the maximum society allows, and you receive according to your needs the maximum the society can provide (ideally).

If you could work 40 hours before the process, there is no reason for you to work less than that now. Your labour isn't defined by your output in batteries, but in hours. Nobody in socialist countries worked less because of technology advancements, they just had higher outputs, like in capitalist countries. The benefit-er is the factory owner, ostensibly 'the people' but really the state/party officials. You are a person, not 'the people'. You don't benefit from it directly - that would be theft from the people.

You don't get to keep your labour because you owe it to the people, comrade. Don't be greedy with the people's resources. Who are you to take from the people? You could be sent to a gulag for re-education, and then who would stand in line for your family to get bread?

It seems to me that most of his objectionable examples reflect shoddy thinking, more than failures of powerpoint per se. He seems to be saying in places that powerpoint makes it easier to get away with shoddy thinking, but I don't think he makes a very strong case for that. The tendencies he describes in powerpoint presentations will crop up anywhere someone wants to be lazy or obfuscatory.
My wife loves them.

Personally I prefer to allow the sun to wake me (and I don’t nap).

With the curtains I have an extreme tendency to oversleep or wake unnaturally from something like an alarm in the middle of rem sleep and be all groggy. Prior to getting them I would just wake naturally between 7-7:30 in the summer and 6-6:30 in winter.

Sometimes I sleep on my couch in the office so that I can wake naturally that way.

Barf.
My parents did most of the teaching, with private music lessons and weekly co-op meetings (get-togethers with other homeschool families to socialize and swap educational expertise - a parent who's a working chemist might run a chem class one semester, while another parent might do a painting class).

By the time I was in high school, I was mostly teaching myself, going to my parents for help only when I was really stumped by something. For example, I did the equivalent of failing algebra twice, but there was no stigma or "can't math" track - my dad just started sitting down with me in the evenings when he got home from work to teach me, and I got it well enough after that.

Socially, I was a shy, untrusting kid, in retrospect, largely because one of my family's main social circles imploded when I was in about third grade.

That wasn't due to homeschooling per se, though, it was due to relationship dynamics and values conflicts between my parents and others.

We found new circles and I always had friends growing up.

I think I would have had a much tougher time socially and intellectually in a standard school environment. The way my psychology works and the experiences I've heard described by friends who went to public school have long made me grateful for my education.

I also got to have much closer relationships with my parents and siblings than I think most US citizens get to have. Others have commented in this discussion about US school being all-day childcare so both parents can work, but our family spent tons of time together, which I'm also very grateful for.

My wife and I are homeschooling our kids, for what it's worth. Our experiences definitely weren't perfect but we see a lot of value in investing in our kids this way.

It’s only a burden if you pay any mind to the kind of fuckheads who would openly mock you for sleeping until your body indicates it has had enough sleep. People behaving that way is a good signal about them.

(I am non-24 and have been so my whole life. I have a 25-26h day and slowly drift out and back in to phase with the rest of the world on a few week period. I just woke up (19:00 local), for example.)

I sleep when I am tired, and I wake up when I am done sleeping. I dropped out of high school and have almost never kept a square job, but both of those things sucked when I tried them, so I was glad to be rid of an alarm clock.

Now my winter/pandemic home is in a city with more 24h restaurants and services than any other on the planet, as far as I can tell.
The freedom to swing your fists ends at my nose. Maybe you have a bad home life, and maybe someone could help with that, but physical and mental assault must stop immediately.

This is exactly why I used to stay up all night and why I now wake up early. Same feeling of aloneness and serenity, except the brain is nice and fresh full of your own thoughts instead of everybody else’s crap. Hardest part is staying away from thought pollutants for the first 3 hours of the day.

Get this: no it doesn't. Not only can the government force your business to bake a cake for anyone regardless of sexuality, they can force you to hire anyone regardless of all sorts of constantly evolving criteria. Landlords do not have a right to prevent tenants from placing political signs, flags, bumper stickers, etc in their windows or yards. They do not have a right to enter a tenant's property without notice. They don't have a right to tap their phone lines or end their lease just because they're Trump supporters, etc. The Supreme Court has ruled quite clearly on these things. Businesses are subject to additional restrictions on speech and free association that people are not.
I mean, if you're whole company is shutting down (as opposed to being sold and carrying its goodwill with it), it doesn't really matter what your customers thing anymore--you won't be around for them to think badly of.
Your body maintains your sodium levels in a very tight band. Why? Your nerves won’t function otherwise. If it gets outside that range you typically die.

The answer really depends on the geometry of this “box” and whether it is functional or decorative. However, something the size you require would start with castings, probably sand (unless the geometry/mechanics requires lost wax). The reality is that anything requiring modern precision will probably require machining of those cast parts, but you won’t want to simply start off with a massive billet of metal.
