I have similar issues with distractibility with sounds. Music sometimes helps, and white noise is good, but sometimes I’d love to be able to just turn my ears off.

The worst situation is feeling the need for enough audio stimuli to feel “right”, but that level is too distracting to allow for focus.

You're right that material things can weigh you down. However, in the case of stamps they're probably one of the smallest and lightest physical items one can collect.
Article is wrong. The rule for max 2 container height stacking was for areas *outside" of the port/terminal, i.e various container yards hinterland.
wow, i was a bit confused after reading the article but your buffer analogy immediately made sense!
Apropos the importance of building new container shipping ports in places that don’t have land scarcity, traffic, and well organized NIMBYs? Let me introduce you to the port of Prince Rupert in northern British Columbia.

The port of Prince Rupert has 5 (as in “can be counted on one hand”) berths and transfers 1.2M containers per year.

The port of Long Beach has 80 (yes, eight-zero!!!) berths and only transfers 8.1M containers per year.

Long Beach transfers 100k containers per berth per year. Prince Rupert transfers 240k containers per berth per year.

I am very much not a rocket scientist. But off the top of my head:

Cooling. In space there's no ambient cooling by air. If you want to cool something, you have to pump heat out of it and into a radiator. And since that is energy-intensive, you want to minimise heat production as far as you can.

Volatiles. In a vacuum those will boil off and not come back. All sorts of polymers, possibly including those used in seals and bearings, suffer from this.

Electrostatic build up. Again, there's no route for this to escape into the air, so you need to make sure that anywhere it can build up is grounded, i suppose.

Maintenance. Depending on where you're going to use it, you might not be able to depend on some guy with a socket set and ungloved fingers being able to fiddle with it whenever necessary.

Gravity. I don't know much about hydraulics, but all sorts of machinery is designed around an unstated assumption that liquid will drip downwards given a chance (sumps etc).

Some of these problems go away on the moon (which has gravity, and potentially pressurised garages for maintenance) or Mars (which has the above, and also some atmosphere).

The issue I see here is that would be an acknowledgement of ownership, which leads to greater demands as time passes.
The buffer would (maybe) not fill again, because the overflow containers were stored on chassis. The problem was that we needed buffer space and converted transport to buffer space - and then we didn't have enough transport, so we needed more buffer space. Cue ominous feedback loop music.

This should free up transportation space, so we can unload more ships, so we can load containers on them and ship them back. Is it the only problem in the supply chain? Probably not. Will it make things better? Definitely in the short term, and probably in the long term.

At the very least it buys a respite to think about further fixes.

I watched a Youtube video about how birds aren't real, that the US government killed them all and replaced them with surveillance drones.

There is no doubt I watched that. Nor is there any doubt that it impacted my recommendations.

The question is, what is the likelihood of it having radicalized me into believing this? Is Youtube successfully recruiting people to genuinely believe birds aren't real/aliens/etc. on a wide scale? I do not believe that is the case. I'm not claiming it has zero impact on this. I'm saying I'm skeptical that the scale is meaningful, especially compared to legacy media.

What I know to be certain is that traditional/legacy/corporate media is constantly and successfully recruiting people into believing conspiracy theories on a broad scale like Iraq had WMDs and Trump was a Russian asset. And yet there is not serious talk about how the corporate media is "infamous for getting people radicalized."

I'm a big fan of this form factor, specifically just big enough to fit a motherboard/CPU/RAM plus a real-size GPU. These all use SFX PSUs and typically just an M2 SSD on the motherboard. They also have only 2 RAM slots.

The days of needing a tower are over for most people. I'm all about space-saving while still having a full-power PC.

It's a niche, boutique market but there are some really interesting cases. My personal favourite is the Louqe Ghost S1 [1]. I've built one PC with this (the Mk II). I bought a Mk III case but couldn't source a GPU so ended up just buying a CyberpowerPC prebuilt (which is actually a pretty nice PC, to be fair).

They're not cheap and they're kind of annoying to buy. Louqe in particular has had huge distribution problems in the US (through Amazon's logistics service).

Another popular one is the Dan A4 [2]. It's smaller. I personally prefer the Ghost for having better airflow, being more modular and being able to expand the case with "top hats". This allows you to add a 240mm AIO and bottom fans for some pretty darn good cooling and airflow.

Anyway, I'm always excited to see entrants in this market.

> But I kind of wish they had a "Blender Light", without all the features and config options, and with a less complex UI

I get what you're talking about, sort of an "iMovie" to Blender's "Final Cut Pro". I think 2.80 actually did a ton of work in that regard, if you've seen it since then. It could definitely be simpler though, and with the UI programming the way it is I suspect it wouldn't take all that much internal change.

Unfortunately, I think a lot of the reason it's as intimidating as it is is because the main aim for buy in for now is studios who favor the power user maximal interfaces of Cinema 4D and Maya and the like
The output of a biological neuron doesn't appear to be graduated. When a neuron fires, it releases a consistent signal, and it is everything downstream from the activation where dynamic learning takes place. Some connections can lead to inhibitory or excitatory signaling, reducing or increasing the voltage differentials, suppressing or reinforcing contextual signals, but the output of a neuron is a binary event.

The attenuation or reinforcement of output signals occurs discretely from the activation of neurons, so the myelin can get thicker in dendritic connections, or connections can be added and pruned, or chemistry changes can affect the signal in a dynamic way.

Once we figure out the algorithms encoded in the connectome/physical architecture, we'll have the opportunity to uncover the algorithms encoded in the data being transported between regions of the brain.

In this thread, I notice a lot of comments talking about how men who don't take six months off (or don't see the point) lack 'love', want to leave mom 'exhausted', not wanting a 'healthy family life', etc.

These are all misguided.

Indeed, I levy the exact same claim on all those comments.

To claim that men not seeing the point of taking six months off don't want a healthy family life is a symptom of an American / Western family life gone horribly wrong. Mom should have lots of family, friends, etc, who are able to help her with the female aspects of being a new mom, such as breastfeeding, post-birth care, etc. Try as I may, as a husband, I cannot fully give my wife what her mom, my mom, and her female friends can give her. I'm useless at practical breastfeeding advice (and frankly, most lactation consultants are too), don't know how to advise her on vaginal healing, etc. I can read all day long about these things, but I would never think of the stuff her practiced friends and family would tell her.

Because we have a strong family and community, mom doesn't need to rely on dad for child care help. Dad can instead do other things, which are also useful for the family (like making sure mom has enough food to eat). That many women are relying on their husbands for this sort of support just shows the problems with the isolation of the American family.

When I took paternity leave with my youngest daughter (four weeks, and will probably do less next time), I was still working with my eldest daughter. She would help me with various tasks around the house, various projects that I needed help with, etc. In fact, I think I was out of the house more during paternity leave than when I'm working (since we're all WFH during COVID anyway).

Instead of overly long paternity leave (and again, I am not against paternity leave in general, just the months long ones), we need flexible hours for new fathers (way more useful than full day leave) and a culture that embraces actual community (not the forced government community either, but actual human connection).
> Every material thing you own can weigh you down.

Material things can also bring you...pleasure (to use your own word).

Of course, there's a balance and it's horses for courses, but I think a lot of people would feel that limiting their ownership of "things" to only those that have utilitarian value would make life far less interesting if not outright dull.

Fascinating read! I really appreciated the graphs, which give insight to market dynamics that are often quite opaque to us outsiders.

If you're curious, read up on some of the synthesis methods for P2P. Chemists are continually honing their craft to provide superior purity and price:

https://erowid.org/archive/rhodium/chemistry/phenylacetone.h...

Aside from the often amateurish reduction of (pseudo)ephedrine to methamphetamine, the most popular precursor to amphetamine and methamphetamine is phenyl-2-propanone (also called P2P, BMK, Benzyl Methyl Ketone or Phenylacetone). There is an astounding array of synthetic routes to this compound, both due to the relative simple structure of the compound, and also because of its popularity. [...] Here is a collection of some of the possible methods of synthesizing phenyl-2-propanone, ranging from simple one-step methods to elaborate multi-step variants, and from the very easy to the very complicated. Welcome to the world of P2P.

Once you've got P2P, the end product isn't too far behind:

Your point was that Apple was taking money from developers - Hey isn’t going through in app purchases. Apple makes no money when people subscribe to Hey.

Netflix hasn’t allowed in app subscriptions for years.

Every developer with in app subscriptions only pays 15% after the first year.

If Apple’s 30% is garbage, so is Google’s and every console makers.

Do you support Android? Have you bought any game consoles.

As far as not allowing side loading - that’s a feature not a bug. Are you really unaware of all of the malware that is on computers because of no sandboxing?

On speed of change: There is of course too slow (too stable) and too unstable. The job of a good maintainer is also to weight possible gains against the downstream effort. Each project has also its own promises -- if you project advertises stability, big changes will cause a lot of grief downstream. If your project advertises instability, users will be more ready for changes.

What was the actual method? I've been through airports where trays were returned using a second set of rollers going in the opposite direction, and I've been through airports were they were manually collected in an ad hoc fashion when they were either close to running out or already had run out on the supply side. Needless to say, the latter approach results in total cluster forks.
> * 14. Everyone in the port, or at least a lot of them, knew this was happening.*

> 15. None of those people managed to do anything about the rule, or even get word out about the rule. No reporters wrote up news reports. No one was calling for a fix. The supply chain problems kept getting worse and mostly everyone agreed not to talk about it much and hope it would go away.

It's been my experience that nearly all of the times it's the low-, and maybe mid-, -level workers who see problems. And it's usually the upper end of the business or bureaucracy who end up ignoring the problem.

And then it's also been my experience that after the problem gets ignored for a while, the people who see the problem also don't report later problems because they know it won't be fixed and they're not empowered to fix it themselves.

This is a widespread problem in my eyes.

> The Mac is a major platform, and Apple silicon is soon to be the only Mac platform

Macs are ~15% of the market, and Apple silicon is a subgroup of that which will gradually increase until it makes up virtually the whole group over a timespan of several years (basically, how long do people keep machines running). It will never be the only mac platform unless you mean supported platform, which will still take quite a few years.

So no: Macs, and Macs on Apple silicon, are a part of the market, but they're a fraction and a fraction of a fraction.

TFA says that sterile neutrinos have been ruled out.
I agree with all of this.

I think Starship, if it pans out, will be exactly as disruptive as the author of the post thinks it will be. I'm very very much hoping that is the case.

And if it delivers on its promises, it will be a revolutionary change in how we think about space exploration, space tourism, space manufacturing, and other things.

But, I strongly suspect that many very smart people at NASA also understand this. And that the reason NASA isn't retooling everything that they do around Starship has more to do with the risk of that future not panning out, and less to do with the people at NASA not understanding that there's a massive economic change at hand if Starship delivers.

> Disruption theory is premised on upstarts recognizing opportunities that incumbents are structurally unable to exploit because they derive too much benefit from the old status quo.

Yes! Exactly! The old space industries (and NASA) derive significant benefit from the status quo, and fully transitioning to the new system risks many those current benefits in the event that the new system fails to materialize.

For someone like NASA, they have many resources, so betting everything on a 95% chance of success may be a bad bet. While a start-up that has very little status quo resources, it's a really really really good bet.

However, I have a problem in characterizing that as "not understanding" the opportunity. NASA, and plenty of old space companies can recognize and understand the opportunity, while it's still a bad bet for them to make at the current development point we're at.

It's more a matter of strategic risk, and current positionining. An organization like NASA isn't in a good position to bet the farm on Starship yet, even if they fully understand the benefits of the bet if they knew the bet would pay off.
In essence, what really matters is that the USD remain the reserve currency.. That arrangement is what, it's (ab)using to run the show..
