> America’s terrible approach to housing production outside of a few select places is a huge a drag on our country.

Not sure about that. The local mechanism to prevent housing expansion is kind of counter-productive, but there may be a rational for that. No matter you agree with it or not, suburban residents seem to enjoy their way of life and don’t want to have massive crowds move into their towns.
In a way, yes, the article alludes to it in order to prove that China was threatened by the nothern tribes but that's a weird way to qualify 400 years of history.

> "The heartland has always been threatened by the nomadic tribes that live in the north. These tribes weren’t just small groups on sporadic raids. Some were dangerous enough to conquer and rule China: the Mongols ruled for a century, starting in the 1280s, and the Manchus for nearly 250 years, starting around 1650."

Especially considering this comes after this - "Another way to put it: China is the Han, and the only thing they care about is protecting the Han" - which it direcly contradicts.

A sizeable portion of my friends and coworkers managed to work the system to gain access to vaccines well before they otherwise would have. I'd strongly prefer the honest version of that system, wherein we wouldn't pretend that elites wouldn't cut the queue to finagle vaccines for themselves and their families. One option would have been setting aside ~5% of the total supply and putting it on the open market. I'd guess early doses would have gone for a few thousand dollars and we could have used the money to support vaccinations elsewhere.

So many different ways to view this.

Intuitive maybe == skeuomorphic which in turns means that it builds on the training and the expectations of all a lifetime.

There is little of intuitive in the UIs I used since the 80s. The first X11 windows manager I used (twm?) didn't have a menu or a dock or whatever. I stated the applications from a xterm and I could iconize them to the desktop, move the icon around, resume them by double clicking the icon. That was intuitive for me. The Windows task bar was an important improvement, more than the start menu. Virtual desktops where great and sorely missed on Windows. Anything else, less important.

Yes. I've said as much in other comments.

I worked with the public in a variety of retail and volunteer capacities over the years. I watched my family's property get destroyed as part of our small business and just accepted it as a cost of doing business. Americans, at least, mostly treat their own property poorly and are really awful to others' property. They also, by and large, can't follow basic instructions or simple rules-- especially if the rules present an inconvenience to them.
Sorry, but what's the alternative exactly? Force people who do actually work, produce, create, etc to pay for people who think working is beneath them? Should you be given free shit simply because you exist?

If you don't want to work for someone else, then start a business. If you don't want to work at all, then figure out how you're going to live. No one is forcing you to do anything.
It's a sign of how crappy mainstream UI design has gotten that the thing that is really drawing me to elementary OS are the gradients, shadows, and edges that give its UI sense of depth -- not the Linux underpinnings, multitouch, or "App Store". It makes the UI 1000x easier to grok at a glance than the flat crap Microsoft and Apple have been pushing out over the past few years, and just plain looks good! I'd love for it to kick off a move back to that kind of design, but sadly it doesn't look like that's the direction things are heading.

Wow, that’s the most mobile unfriendly site I’ve ever seen.
Just that there is a future where those who don’t want to work a menial job aren’t forced to do so in order to survive. Which may mean accepting a lower level of productivity. But a lot of people get bored without work, and extra money to buy nice things will always motivate people, so there will still be a large labor pool and automation can take care of the rest.
I'm surprised they spend so much (presumably) time and effort on applications, especially 'Web' and 'Terminal'. How many users are actually going to use 'Web' as their browser?

That said, I wish them all the best, because I use 'Files' (but not the distro) since it's the best I've found for the odd occasion where I think using a GUI file manager will be easier than the command line. I still wouldn't say it's good, just the best I've found. (Not opening everything on a single-click is a vast improvement!)
But chrome doesn’t adjust screen setup.
I think I finally figured part of this out. Like you said, employers treat workers as commodities. This worked out great for them in the short term, as they saved money by not giving raises etc. In the long term, though, workers started realizing they often had to go back to the market to get meaningful pay raises. Now you have a situation where workers are switching as often as every 12-24 months, and the thing not previously accounted for is onboarding costs. In a situation where workers stay an average of 5 years, let's say they take a year to become net productive, you're losing about 20% of their time as an investment for 80% payoff. Now, though, that static year of onboarding costs accounts for 50-65% of their entire tenure. That's a huge swing against companies, who are suddenly realizing retention might be a problem. So the economic/management theory that everyone is just an interchangeable commodity is running up against the wall of reality, where second-order effects have taken over and destroyed a bunch of business value that could be captured in a more stable environment.

There's an additional problem that firms are caught in a game theoretic trap. If you're the only firm providing stability, your investments in that in the short term might make you less competitive on pay, which means you'll train up people who might leave seeing higher pay elsewhere. So stability investments might be rational in the long term, but because of market conditions you get killed in the short term, and you end up tempted to abandon your strategy after a few bad quarters where it looks like they aren't paying off.
It would still just be the rocket equation no? The power supply mass that isn't ejected as energy in propulsion would just be counted as part of the rocket's dry mass (mf in the rocket equation).
> But how certain are you that the dog didn't actually poop on the property or entered indoors?

If the renter had video cameras in the house, and the only image he could find of the dog was sitting on the porch, it probably wasn't because the owner didn't bother looking.

> The author stated before that there were no dogs on the property but was forced to admit that there was indeed a dog.

The author didn't have a dog. Someone brought a dog, and they stayed on the porch. The owner believes they caught the renter in a gotcha, but they didn't.

One alternative would be a cap and trade system. That would be worse than a carbon tax from an economic efficiency standpoint, but possibly more politically viable.
As an Austin area resident who is well aware of their shitty infrastructure and horrible traffic, I've been saying this for a while now. The best solution to traffic that Austin could do is to simply give tax incentives for remote work. That way the businesses are still located in Austin and paying taxes, even if they have mostly remote workers, while we don't have to pay a fortune on road infrastructure.
Working with the American public for any length of time shows one their worst assumptions probably aren't bad enough.

Some countries have mandatory military service. I wish the United States had mandatory labor in a public-facing position-- retail, hospitality, etc. I think it would go a long way to making people feel less entitled to break rules or conjure nuance where very little exists.
People want to move to cheaper states (mostly to be able to buy property). I doubt political affiliations have anything to do with it. In fact if we dig one level deeper I'm willing to bet most of these moves are happening to liberal enclaves in republican states (e.g. Austin, Texas).
Very nice, will look closer to this.

Pay me well, provide good benefits, allow a flexible work schedule where I can work when I want to and still get day to day life stuff done and hire enough people so I can consistently work only the 40 hours you are actually paying me for. My current job does that and I love it. When something critical comes up I'm happy to work over a weekend to hit a deadline because I know my manager will comp me back time when I need it.

The thing that's always burned me out at work is letting people on my team go through attrition or layoffs and expecting the rest of us to pick up all the slack like it didn't take 3 other people to do it.

5g acceleration for 37 hours will get you up to 1% of the speed of light. Constant acceleration with no fuel limits gets you into the realm of relativity very quickly.

Small thing but I dig the new --eval flag.

To do something like this in node, I used to do:

(echo 2+2; cat -) | node -i

Which would generate some stdin via echo, then use cat to feed stdin to node. --eval 2+2 is a blissfully elegant upgrade to this.

As a comment points out, node has a '-e' (and a -p which prints the evalled thing) but does not open a repl after. This shell receipt, like --eval, leaves the repl open.
I do the same thing, especially the "not reading later" part. but it's a kind of hack that works for me.

By posting this, you just prompted me to do my routine of "evaluate, add, close".

Problem is some of the short-term ones that I "really want to read" – well, I'm not closing those. So it's a partial solution.

Huh.
There are huge differences between zero as the concept of "none" (I had five cows and someone took them all away, how many do I have?), zero as a more formal integer value (e.g. solution to 2 + 7 - 4 + x = 5), zero as unit placeholder (e.g. 101 dalmations), and zero as a real number (on the continuum from positive to negative rationals and irrationals).

When people make claims about "zero" they're essentially meaningless unless they specify which meaning of zero they're talking about.

TLDR: China is bad. This change is probably not because of china, but china will certainly use it.

> China are evil, and that is the reason These pure US companies do bad things

China (the gov) is evil.

> is the reason These pure US companies do bad things

The companies are not pure. China certain does things to coerce them them to do bad things that wouldn't otherwise do. Some things are very bad. Some things aren't bad inherently, but are very unlike apple. Examples:

[1] Hong Kong app removal

[2] iCloud CN being run by another company.

> They would ban the entire App in question, not back door it

China already does this, except it's a phone not an app. They already monitor in-flight data [3], so likely not a huge concern for them, but considering the monitoring they do, why wouldn't this be a nice perk for them. Personally, i doubt that china required apple to do this since they already get what they want. I'm sure they'll love to (ab)use this though. I'm confident that a government somewhere wants this (new UK/EU anti-e2ee laws?).

China can't ban the iPhone, apple actually has that much political power. They are a huge poster child of chinese manufacturing power. Every time a senator asks tim cook to move manufacturing stateside and he says that only china is capable, it pumps china up.

What happens when it melts? Or am I missing something here...?
Yes. Thrust is related to momentum while power to energy. So if you double the exhaust velocity, you double the thrust but quadruple the power needed.

P = 0.5 * mdot * v_ex^2
T = mdot * v_ex

A normal ion thruster might have ISP 4000 or 40 km/s exhaust velocity.

From the rocket equation, if our mission requires 10 km/s delta vee, mass ratio is exp(10/40)=1.28. So out of every 1280 kg, 280 kg is propellant.

If we have mass flow of 0.1 gram per second, thrust is 40000 m/s * 0.0001 kg/s = 4 N and power is 80 kW.
Acceleration is about 0.27 km/s per day. Not so good for humans through Van Allen belts. But fine for deep space propulsion.

80 kW of solar cells with 200 W/kg weight efficiency would weigh 400 kg. This is ISS level power.

So the spacecraft might have 280 kg of propellant, 400 kg of solar arrays, 600 kg of useful things.

For example if you have a project which you store objects to S33,

A company must be crazy to use minio as their real data storage.
