Those images pretty much all trace to the work of Gerard K. O'Neill, a physist who began looking at the question of space colonisation in the late 1960s / early 1970s, notably at Princeton University, where he'd asked the question of where best to attempt space colonisation, notably contrasting planetary (or lunar) surfaces with orbiting space platforms.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerard_K._O'Neill

The background is discussed in T.A. Heppenheimer's 1977 book Colonies in Space, chapter 2:

https://space.nss.org/colonies-in-space-chapter-2-our-life-i...

O'Neill himself published The High Frontier in 1976.

Both books include many of these specific images.

Much of that work was also taken up under the L5 Society:

Though these were pretty widely distributed and publicised at the time, they were not the first realistic or scientific impressions of space colonisation. See for example Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) which, though science fiction, tended to apply much of the best current technical and scientific knowledge and ideas.
How well did it work? I’ve often thought of doing this, but never had the time. In addition to north I also thought about having it point to an arbitrary location or to another person’s location. The latter could be used for hunter safety, etc.
What even is this comment? What a weird projection on the commenter's part.

Love the part about calling out the price of a Switch, without considering that the parent might also spend tons of money on education as well.

I'm becoming a fan of the tiny black hole theory. A lot of this seems to point toward a three-way tradeoff between distance, albedo and mass to try to find a sweet spot that explains how something massive enough or close enough could have avoided observation. A small black hole at a pretty significant distance is a rather tidy answer.

Neither my debit nor credit card allows the first, as far as I know, and both allow the second.

Perhaps these are advantages of the particular debit card you have over the particular credit card you have. I don't think they are general.
I looked at the list of demos a while back, but didn't watch in detail at the time.

You're cherry picking the top of the previous inflation scare-fueled gold bullrun (it's up 7x since the year 2000), and the one asset that's heavily manipulated to the downside (demonstrated by the huge premiums in physical delivery during the GME mania which weren't arbitraged away).

Convenient straw man to try and classify anyone exposing the intentionality behind today's inflation levels as a crypto shill. Almost all assets have exploded in fiat values since the start of Covid printing, not just crypto. Supply chain issues didn't affect Rolex watches and metropolis housing markets, money printing, QE and low interest rates did.
Of course fault matters, cost of rent going up so high no one can afford an apartment. Do you blame the residents, like chii is doing, for not making enough? Or do you blame the fucking assholes raising the god damn rent?
How would that help? (Or maybe “what does that mean?”)

The net effect for some is likely to be “to ensure compliance, make sure to never employ someone from Portugal.” To the extent that is the outcome, Portuguese workers are harmed.

I linked to the page on the OPM breach. The reason I wrote "or leaked" is because there is no confirmation of who got it or who they might have given it to.

If people are saying it was hacked by country X, it might be strategic to share it with a couple other countries and let them cause chaos. Then, with clean hands, make speeches tut-tutting about the degeneracy of American culture and democracy.

Trying to orchestrate anything, by actually controlling the US government has a lot of potential downside, and what really is the strategic goal?

Presumably all the countries on the list that the US doesn't like want one simple thing - to be treated (as countries) equally to US allies. It's not necessary to make the US do anything, just to make us incapable of doing anything and unable to be trusted by allies. And that's inherently much easier than control. Not only that, but it doesn't require trust and cooperation among themselves to an unrealistic degree.
Please don't do this; it's really dangerous.
The EPR is a new generation (new reactor design).

As usual ramping it up implies to build one (the 'tête de série') or at max a few ones, then to launch series. We always did it this way.

Since 2005 4 projects were launched (France: Flamanville, Finland: Olkiluoto, China: Taishan, UK: Hinkley Point). The two first ones are ongoing disasters. Taishan was late and overbudget. Hinkley Point announced, 2 years into its launch, that it will be overschedule and overbudget.

In such a context launching now a huge amount of projects isn't realistic. When a project is late due to a lack of skills and project-management abilities (there is a report about this, the "rapport Folz"), launching 6 new projects may not be a terrific idea.
Not exactly the same but reminds me of nissan.com. One is a car company the other is a computer company named after a guy with the last name Nissan.

...and Common Lisp and Smalltalk take it a step further. You can go ahead and change the data structure in a way that's semantically incompatible. The runtime will notice that the definition has changed and either automatically reinitialize any existing instances to conform to the new definition, or, if it doesn't know how to do that, pose a UI asking you to tell it how.

And when control reaches a function that expects the old kind of object and runs into an error, it'll enter a breakloop that you can use to modify the now-out-of-date function to handle the new definition properly. Once you've redefined the function you can then tell the runtime to resume and it will proceed as if the function you called had originally had the new definition.

Their pace of output - along with the quality - is still (to me) astounding decades later. June-Oct '68 they produce the white album, then... 2 months later, start the get back project, with a goal of writing/recording an album in just a few weeks. There must have been a feeling of what we'd call 'burnout' today, but they just kept pumping out non-stop work for... almost 7 years.

It's telling that none of them kept up this pace in their solo years, though I think McCartney might have except for the large tours in between. He's put out about an album every 2 years for the past 50 years.
That's because the distribution is being controlled by central entities, e.g. distros, app stores, etc. People mostly gave up trying to distribute release binaries on their own. Independent distribution now happens primarily by sharing the source. So the whole not working aspect is still very much alive for source builds, which rarely work; at least, not unless you run them inside a Docker container that's exactly the same as whatever the developer uses. Particularly if the software was written recently, and isn't a decades old C program or simple Python script without dependencies.

It's pretty insane how locked down their software is. I was looking into building a battery status app for the Garmin Fenix watches that connected directly to the board over bluetooth, but you need to fetch a key from their api with a carefully crafted request that is used to re-authenticate with the board every few seconds. If you mess up the API call they IP ban you and warn you of API abuse.

Crazy: https://github.com/ponewheel/android-ponewheel/issues/109#is...

I love my Onewheel - but why can't they just open up a read only API for stats so people can build 3rd party apps around them.

No. I would not agree with that. I am opposed to limiting peoples' "ability to influence". People need to have a voice and debates and discussion need to be allowed to happen.

Otherwise you are not changing people's minds, you are simply making their voices disappear from your computer screen.
Actively doing harm because nobody stopped them doesn’t absolve them, regardless of government passivity. In fact, doing it for that reason might actually make it worse.
The website covers this: https://finlanddivided.wordpress.com/ethnolinguistic-conflic...

But calling this only a language issue is a gross oversimplification. Neither is it really taboo, unless you start going overboard and claiming that all Swedes/Swedish-speakers are X and all Finns/Finnish-speakers are Y, which is racist pretty much by definition.
That... is a terrible idea for literally every reason.
You’re not wrong, but that reduces to sometimes you want to win the lottery. Sure, that’s great if it happens for you.

I'll answer a different question. The major cost of airplanes is engine wear. Engines have a TBO of maybe 2000 hours, which means about a year's worth of flying at 40 hours per week. For a cheap plane like a basic Cessna, the overhaul is the cost of the aircraft.

If electric planes are lower-maintenance, for GA purposes, they could be a lot cheaper. The hobby would go from millionaires to ordinary folks.

Electric motors don't wear out like combustion ones do.
Wow.

Yeah, the bank employees involved in this should go straight to jail.

True. But that has nothing to do with responsibility.
>There is one downgrade in the new router, as it doesn't have an Ethernet port like the original did. Starlink's website notes that users can buy an Ethernet adapter in the Starlink shop.

Thanks Peter :)

That explains it.
If x and y were primes then your secret was probably quite valuable at that time. 25 years ago is about the right time for RSA encryption to still be state of the art at the NSA and whatnot. The reason this is valuable is that you can multiply the two numbers quickly, but figuring out the two numbers knowing only the product is extremely hard (mathematically/computationally). When x and y are large primes, then the division takes a long time (decades depending on the size of the number).

Is it possible that you actually learned some important private cryptographic key? If so, that number might have been sexy but you just didn’t actually have visibility into a bigger picture?
Agree with the big benefits for training, specially if you can swap batteries like you do with industrial drones.

Other niche area where there would be a great benefit:

Remote regions like the amazon jungle where a regular trip between villages (no roads what-so-ever) takes hours or days on small powered canoes vs 15 minutes when flying. Electric seaplanes would not only deliver basic modern services (Medical, Police, Business, etc) to these areas but it could do it without the need of shipping expensive fuel from far away.. Solar chargers would take care of that. ( maintenance would be easier too.. )

So I'm not defending Louis C.K., either.

But I'm troubled by the idea of people just concluding that he commited sexual assault when he hasn't even been charged with that, there was no fact-finding process at all, and people are basically inventing their own legal definitions and deciding what someone is guilty of based on public accusations.

We have courts and investigators to make these determinations for the public at large, where people are put under oath, facts are gathered according to rules evidence, there is cross-examination and testimony from all sides, etc. You know, all that rule-of-law stuff so that people are not condemned or punished unjustly.

What I am not in favor of is trial by internet where people who are either not impartial or do not have access to all the evidence, decide to mete out punishment on their own. Of course such people can decide for themselves what happened and then choose not to patronize whomever they want, but those are personal opinions and don't carry a high truth value, nor should they be used to try to deprive someone of the right to seek their own audience and continue making a living.
There are a lot of different techniques. In Pernosco we more or less do "SELECT program_state WHERE time=T_current-1". gdb's built in reverse debugging feature creates an undo stack when executing forwards, and executing backwards pops modifications off of that stack. rr uses forward execution to emulate reverse execution, backing up to a checkpoint, executing forwards once to figure out where to stop, and then executing a second time from that checkpoint to the stopping point.
The bank cartels probably won't last long, just wait until money becomes mostly decentralized and digitalized. We'll finally be able to use our money without limits or immoral intermediaries.
Wow! Where did that come from? Especially the boot. Living life however you feel regardless of societal norms seems to be the opposite of living under a boot, doesn't it?

I banned my boss from texting after hours. He texted me during hours for a legitimate reason. Moments after the issue was taken care of, I blocked his number. If it ever becomes an issue, it's easy to frame as a healthy way of enforcing boundaries. Everyone should block their boss by default.
I remember getting hit by reordering when I was in college, getting by on a coffee shop job. The bank ordered a group of concurrently unresolved deposit/withdrawals to maximize the overdraft fees (I think I got hit with ~3x $35). It seems silly now but when you're making $5.25/hr, going more than $100 in the red really stings.

Not everyone has the ability to buy options in their 401k.

Most IRAs don't have it without permission.

Timing, take a look at Nov 07, had you bought a leap then, it would have taken until Jan 11 to just break even, you're really pushing the limit of the max option expiry at that point.

All ITM leaps have extrinsic value, even if small. Take this value and divide by the strike price, this is your effective "interest" for not having to spend those dollars to purchase. Depending on your delta, this percentage could be higher than the expense ratio of TQQQ.

Or just buy leaps on TQQQ then :)
What makes you think I'm joking?

I assume crypto companies already do this. Real companies don't issue crypto and probably shouldn't because it's asking for securities trouble.

Conspicuously missing the persecution of Kulaks and Christians, among others, in the Soviet Union. Side note aside, some of those historical blights hinge on the choice of religion / ideology.

Now I am not sure what exactly the issue is but this seems to be applicable to all results, at least on my particular setup.

On LibreWolf browser,

On mouse hover, the correct result urls show but then I right-click one, it shows something like:

https://duckduckgo.com/l/?uddg=<destination_url_here>&notrut...

But this same behaviour cannot be observed on Google/Searx on the same browser. It also even isn't observable with DDG on a FF nightly build on the same system and a FF stable build on a separate one.

Edit: url formatting

EDIT2: this behaviour seems to be limited to my particular setup and even a clean LibreWolf profile seems not to suffer from this issue. I apologise for the misunderstanding.
It’s not meaningless as he’s not nearly as popular as he once was, lost lots of money, etc.

Sometimes cancelled shows get renewed. Or they make money in syndication, etc.

But it’s certainly not meaningless.
> In today’s episode we’re talking about an emerging model of gaming called play to earn, in which players can make actual money based on how much time and effort they put into a game.

> Think of it as Pokemon on the blockchain, with a social network built-in, and an actual economy, and even companies built around the game that help players onboard and loan them money to get started playing. The game has made more than $3 billion in total sales since launching in March 2018, with much of its early growth in the Philippines.

So play to earn is really borrow money to play in the hopes that you might be able to earn.

And just for fun, let's target poor people in developing countries. "web3" sure sounds lovely.

What you can do is:

* Share your instance with some friends (though of course it shifts the trust one level down)

* Route outgoing requests through tor / some VPN. In a hosted environment that you configure once for "everywhere", it's more feasible to do fun things like "Google searches over OperaVPN, bing searches through Mullvad, everything else through Tor". You could even change proxies.

Especially with the latter you can kind of "eat the cake and have it too", with some added latency of course.

As a bonus, searx can also be configured to rewrite links (yt->piped, twitter->nitter, imgur->rimgu etc) and remove tracking query parameters.
Cinema frames were vertical on the strip (less wide) while stills were horizontal. So still frame will used more space.

And one more niche area.. Electric engines do not care about low oxygen, going up and down from coastal areas to high altitude Andes is economically achievable. Going from a place like Lima to Jauja in Peru can take 12 hours on a road, but barely 45 minutes by plane.
