Compliments to see this thrive since 2016 with that large of a team! I had to laugh at the Berlin (ex) Rocket company logos; this age old Excel style data formatting which looks nice and custom at first glance brings back memories of inevitably ending up in swamps of versions, custom tweaks and data inaccuracies. Arguably, most of these problems can be well mitigated by a cloud hosted solution like yours!

Power is roughly proportional to the wind turbine’s cross sectional area. So power scales by the square of blade length but isn’t quite exponential.

How Does Work Exipure Scam?

Exipure Scam is an all-regular dietary mix that upholds sound weight reduction by changing over white fat into earthy colored fat. This supplement utilizes a one of a kind way of disposing of additional fat in the body that is generally layered and makes an individual very fat.

Actually, it is not so clear nuclear is the solution in Europe (e.g. France) at this point. You still have to mine lots of uranium ore, because compared to coal, you actually only seek a small fraction of it, where with coal you can burn almost all of what you mine. The enrichment facilities have dual use for war and the uranium mostly comes from Russia which is geopolitically problematic (for Europe, somewhat similar to coal/ oil/ gas mostly). With nuclear fission, we basically don't recycle much if at all. You have to take care of the waste. With coal of course, you have ash and all the CO_2 you have to do something about (again in Europe at least) if you don't want to pay too much on emission allowances.

The last point, we just don't know how to build nuclear economically anymore. The process is so bureaucratic and slow it becomes infeasible to finance without major interventions. Letting Chinese or Russian companies build it from the standpoint of Europe is a geopolitical challenge and a security risk.

All this time and money would be perhaps spent better elsewhere. In Europe, we are not able to build a nuclear powerplant in 15 years, so that is lots of time for research and development and even building something useable. It is very likely, most of the renewable sources will become more economical and nuclear less even less. We might devise a scheme to store energy by e.g. splitting salt (NaOH) into sodium metal, hydrogen and oxygen and later combining sodium with water to NaOH again, while getting hydrogen as a byproduct and lots of electrical current. It is a simple process, we "just" have to scale it and develop it further. The first half of it is well known for 100 years and was used at industrial scale. Currently, we just split NaCl directly to obtain sodium... The second half is described in patents by Lockheed-Martin that are long expired. You can read more in this diagram: https://www.orgpad.com/s/iV3vbi

Btw. Slowakia has a lot of nuclear too and here in Czechia, we have a conversation about building new reactors in Dukovany too. For Czechia, the approach seems to be misguided as you can read here (Google Translated from Czech): https://denikreferendum-cz.translate.goog/clanek/32812-cesky...

You can only type ~27% of my name with just ASCII (and even then one letter will not be exactly)... and i agree with you. If anything i'd go a bit further and say that, sure, use Unicode in places where you can find arbitrary text like documents, messages, etc but anything that has to do with the 'guts' of the computer should stay away from Unicode (or at least treat it as data, like how filenames are treated on Linux).

I disagree with the getting everyone on the Unicode bandwagon though, IMO Unicode has introduced a ton of problems exactly because it tries to be a ton of stuff at the same time. I don't know how exactly a better solution would be but i have a very hard time accepting that such a convoluted and error prone system is the best solution. IMO if decades later there are still issues with getting it right then there is something fundamentally wrong with the system itself and not with the applications and developers trying to work with it.
This post ignores the fact that an answer to questions about development time depends on the technology used, i.e., the tooling, programming language and platform/supported operating systems and, first and foremost, how familiar the developers are with these. I believe the student who said it's going to take them 2 hours. For example, I can guarantee you that I would have been able to finish this project in less than an hour back in the time when I was fluent with Realbasic. Today, it would probably take me 4 hours in Go + Fyne because I'm not yet familiar with Fyne. It would take me the same amount of time in Gtk because the framework is kind of complicated and the docs are sometimes a bit obscure (though overall excellent). If you add testing, documentation, and deployment then it's going to take at least 10 x the original time. That wasn't part of the original description, though.

The example just goes to show that if your original spec is incomplete, doesn't specify the quality, testing, and documentation requirements, and you pile up feature after feature (like cloud uploading), then it's going to take much longer. I'm sure the student knew that, however.
Is one suggesting not detailing our crimes in any recorded format and making it public if we do not want said recordings to be part of a government investigation?
When you think about the risk / rewards to society of nuclear power, compare it to cars. Which is more absurd. Environmental and physical impact, cost of human life, etc. It's a much worse ratio but 99% never think about it

What if you already live in a cheaper, less bubbly area? Or decide to move there early on.

Then staying there and working remotely becomes family friendly, and moving becomes super selfish. Most people assume moving to get a good job, which will lead exactly to the consequences above.

Totally agree with this.

Someone even say they have donated for a year, and will not donate until their demand is fulfilled.

Donation is voluntary. It's not a tool for demand the interest or forcing people fulfill request.

>Your very unlikely to be able to get 200k in undergrad loans without a co-signer ... This assumes your parents can't take out a Plus loan

Sure, but plenty of parents do take out PLUS loans - which are capped at whatever the tuition is. Aside from that, many lenders are handing out loans without cosigners[1]. And as the 2008 crisis has shown us, that's not an error: they are gambling.

>This is a story about grad student debt

OK, but the discussion is about student debt, not grad student debt. I think it's reasonable to assume that most people would be talking about undergraduate debt cancelation.

As for those absurdly expensive Masters degrees - the one in the article is borderline a scam.

>If we just got rid of loans for grad school, we're taking away an entire life path.

Again, it's quite a leap from debt cancelation to loans not being available to anyone ever, particularly for grad school. As you said, graduate school students are older, and graduate degrees often do pay off. Why would the banks pass on a money-making opportunity?

The degrees that are a solid investment would not disappear (and neither would loans for them), but the scammy ones (like in the article) would.

>By far my biggest disappointment with the current administration is not pushing more for free community college

Amen to that.

OK, off-topic, but I'm going to live right next to CSU East Bay campus, and would appreciate any info about that system. One of my 2022 goals is getting involved in community outreach (math education / talks / etc); trying to remedy the damage done by our education systems when it comes to mathematics, particularly hoping to reach working adults.

Would love to hear your thoughts about that.

What if we make the lower-budget apartment seekers realise that they can't "spot the scams" all by themselves, do you think they would end up paying?

It also depends on where they are moving to because 12€ makes up only a tiny fraction of the monthly cost; in this case, 2-3% in Barcelona and Munich. Maybe we haven't communicated this well enough on our landing pages.
I thought that too, but looking up the term, apparently not. From the Wikipedia (english version):

"The acronym LAMP was coined by Michael Kunze in the December 1998 issue of Computertechnik, a German computing magazine.." where unfortunately it doesn't give a hint of the "P", but in the German version of the same article you have:

"Der ursprüngliche LAMP Stack besteht aus den vier Komponenten Linux (Betriebssystem), Apache (Webserver), MySQL (Datenbanksystem) und PHP (serverseitiger Skript-Interpreter). Diese Komponenten sind wiederverwendbar und in unterschiedlichem Umfeld und Zusammensetzung nutzbar." which means something like "the original stack was composed by Apache, MySQL and PHP"

Lets not devolve into a semantic discussion about white supremacy. Under your definition I agree with a lot of what you are saying.

I still think we should not tell people who do racist things "you are being a white supremacist". Instead we should say "that thing you did was a bit racist" or even "that thing you did could be seen as racist". We should _definitely_ challenge those people. But if you are trying to get someone to change their mind or behavior, you gotta be real careful about their feelings.

Calling someone a white supremacist is going to hurt their feelings quite a bit. And that isn't going to make them more likely to consider if they should change or did something wrong. That doesn't mean don't challenge people on their actions. That means challenge people on their actions very gently.

If we don't treat these people gently, then we lose the less introspective part of the population. They start getting reactionary, start 'banding together' against these annoying people. They start 'fighting back in the culture war'. Basically, getting this wrong is how you create republicans.

All of the above means I think we should be considerate in how we challenge racists. And I think part of that involves being really careful about the term white-supremacy.
This is one of the best videos on Youtube. I really liked how they documented their progress. If only the video lasted longer.

It's not just Facebook though. Satya Nadella's keynote from Ignite was also talking a lot about Metaverse.

I agree it will take longer. And it'll probably be a capitalist invention, yes. I would also really love to see a truly open and decentralised approach but with the amount of money these companies are pumping into it, they are bound to want to own some of the IP in return.

But I'm not presenting a strawman, I just thought you were speaking mainly about technological readiness. I agree we have bigger problems to solve as humanity though I think in the long term this can contribute. I've done some trials at work with VR meeting software (Spatial, Arthur, Immersed) and they really create a sense of 'togetherness' that Teams/Zoom don't. Of course meeting in person is better, but this is not very feasible now because of Corona and probably in the future because of emissions. So I think even a "really good" VRChat would help there a bit. Even tough these companies are not doing it to solve the world's problems obviously.

PS: Is Nvidia really that open? I haven't really been following it (my only PC that has a Nvidia card I use exclusively with Windows for gaming), but I heard they are not opening enough sourcecode to make Wayland work well, even. And that's only 2D stuff.

Had similar issues to you and also did similar things.

However I eventually got through it and my suggestion below is what ended up working for me.

For a fortnight, do the following:

- Go to bed at 10pm, no music, no movies, etc.
Get up at 6am without exception, even if super tired.

- Moderate exercise at 630am for 1 hour. Ride to work, do some weights, go for a run. Whatever works for you.

- No caffeine after midday. I've got friends that can have it at 8pm, and still sleep at 10pm. I cannot if I have it at 1pm

- Alcohol free. It disrupts your sleep and makes you eat more junk food.

- More vegetables. Because I don't know how to cook, I just went with steamed veges with a different sauce (bbq, sriracha, butter, etc)

Regarding hyperactivity, the best thing you could do is setup a TODO board (e.g. Trello, whiteboard with sticky notes) to visualize everything going on in your life.

Taxes to do, bills to pay, emails to reply to, people to see, presents to buy, tutorials to watch, books you are reading. Everything.

When I did this, I had a terrible amount of work in progress that I just couldn't keep up with and my mind was constantly on.

See what you can do to reduce this. Take a day off work for taxes, admit you won't read that book, unsubscribe from emails, say no to social obligations if you're feeling overwhelmed, etc.

Hope this helps.

I believe misinformation is fast becoming our biggest problem. It makes all other problems so much more difficult to discuss and solve. It undermines democracy itself.

I think we need clearer lines about what is a "carrier" and what is a "publisher".

In my view, if you perform any kind of moderation you are a publisher and should be held responsible for any harm caused by misinformation you serve.

We then need publicly funded bodies and a functioning judicial system to move quickly to silence things that are said that are just not true. Whether you are reading it on Facebook, Google, or somebodies random website, we have to stamp it out.

It's a huge, difficult task. But hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost to covid alone because people don't trust media, they don't trust officials, the don't know what to believe.
Google Maps may silently be Alphabet's most powerful property. As someone who has spent the last 8 months religiously degoogling my life, I've found that Google Maps features are incredibly hard to replace, while at the same time, giving Google direct abilities to influence behavior in the physical world. People see it as "just a map", but it's so much more. OSM-based map tools are pretty good as maps, but they utterly fail at being real-world information directories and functional tools for coordinating physical activities.

I do have hope. It seems that there has been a lot of new enthusiasm for these tools lately, and some of them have key features in development.

Two low hanging fruits: 1) location bookmarking features that can be synced between mobile/desktop with third party sync tools. 2) Link conversion features that can take Google Maps (or other map links) as input and open the location in OSM tools, and vice-versa.

The real-world information directory is a much bigger challenge, but if the low hanging fruit features are developed enough that the average person could easily use open source / OSM tools for everything except a modern phone book, while still coordinating with peers who use Google Maps, then we'd have a much better foundation for tackling the issue.

General rule of thumb that works for me: the number of characters should roughly match the number of handwritten characters that fit onto a normal letter page. For me, that is between 50 and 70 characters. This also roughly matches the number of letters in the standard manuscript format [0] used by the publishing industry for literary works.
