Gold is looks promising for 2022/2023 and depending which country your in, you can avoid VAT. The good and bad with holding physical gold is it is both safe and dangerous to hold because it is very liquid and can be sold quickly without many questions. I would probably allocate 15%-20% of Your 100K and pick up 10 1 ounce coins (Probably go with Britannias or Philharmonics for Europe), which would take up less space than a D Cell battery and be easy to hide. You probably wont get rich from them but gold makes a great security blanket or seed to get back into the real-estate market when you choose to do so.
Some people have argued that tulip mania was driven by monetary policy. When discussing supply and demand, it's not only about supply and demand of the goods or services, it's also about supply and demand of the currency which those goods and services trade against. Changes in the supply of a currency can affect prices in unpredictable ways; inflation is not evenly distributed.
I've heard pilots put this as "it's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than to be in the air wishing you were on the ground".
234 knots is also equal to 269 miles per hour.

Try KLM. Drop it down from 3' up and ensure firm contact with the runway, rather than those endless landings where nobody knows if you've touched down or not. Better to avoid the ambiguity. You have to break ground effect somehow and the decisive way is the best, then at least you know you're no longer flying but rolling.
It’s non-ionizing radiation so would “only” cause radiation burns worst case. I don’t know what frequency the transmitter uses / how deeply the waves can penetrate, so you could also end up with “internal sun burn” as well external burns depending on the power and penetration.
> While it would be standard to return to the airport to assess damage when something like this happens, the pilots made the decision to continue to Washington

That reminds me of Air India Express Flight 611, where the plane hit the antenna at the end of the runway and the brick perimeter wall(!) Even though ATC notified the pilots that they hit something, the pilots decided to keep flying for 4 hours. On landing, the plane was found to have a bunch of damage including a hole in the underside.

(The underlying problem was the captain's seat backrest collapsed during takeoff and he accidentally yanked back on the throttle, reducing their takeoff speed.)

The point is that pilots can hit something during takeoff, do severe damage to the plane, and totally not realize it.

But you know what PRC rich don't do? Use their wealth to get richer in Canada. Apart from parking money in unproductive real estate. Their productive economic efforts stay in PRC where the opportunities still are. Ditto with first wave of wealthy HKers who fled post handover.

Majority of rich Chinese I know in Canada who aren't retired are essentially enjoying Canadian social services while contributing to PRC development. Their big spending improves niche BC economy while driving up housing prices. At end of day, Canada/West are just cheap retirement plans. Apart from capital flight which CCP can clamp down on, rich Chinese bailing to Canada aren't substantively detracting away from productivity in PRC.

>are now shutting down, selling at n-times discount, and pretty much running from the country.

And they'll get replaced by other PRC upstarts. Cycles of entrepreneur getting wealthy and then burn out in PRC only to retire abroad / in Canada has been happening since opening up. I saw first gen of new wealth capital flight in 2000s. It's nothing new. What is new is the number of PRC students who want to return and diaspora who went back to PRC to live in covid0. Reality is PRC is more enticing than ever, not enough for rich to ditch back up plans, but enough to keep growing.
Why? 1 Sv (over a year) equates to a 5.5% increase chance of fatal cancer within a lifetime. Assuming the dosage is linear (it isn't but we use a Linear _no threshold_ model because it over estimates risk) 100mSv is a 0.55% increase in risk. So 50mSv is a 0.055% increase risk (note the parent is slightly wrong. Most countries and workers have a 20mSv maximum).

You're getting caught up in _detectable_ but not thinking enough about the actual level of risk. The danger/risk from 100mSv is far less of a risk than very common activities we do. Remember that that fatal cancer risk is over a lifetime (so let's say 40 years, or 0.01%/year if you receive that dose once). Smoking a cigarette a day (singular, not a pack) is a 30+% chance increase in stroke and heart disease. I'd argue that this is far more dangerous but something we don't worry about as much.

Humans are really just bad at estimating risk.

Cool, I was just in Douala doing a project with Venture for Africa and before that did some research on the cold storage market in Kenya. What regions are you focused on? Other than the political importance of smallholder farmers, why focus on them? Why not help upskill medium to large farms that are more likely to have the capacity to use digital tools, technology, cut out middlemen, etc.?

Nice tool! I like the way you simply validate the signature on the end-server!

A great example of not getting bogged down in analysis paralysis. Adams chose and continues to choose "sub-optimal" technologies for developing and running DF. Heck, last I checked he is still manually doing version control with folders and flash drives. As he states in the article, he is infinitely more interested in the design side than the technology side. The takeaway is that he is motivated to make his vision a reality and ships regardless of the tech choices. An imperfect project that ships is better than a perfect one that doesn't.

I think you missed the first half of why I was saying. Job turnover is an objective measurement you can take.

If people show up to work the job but then quickly quit that’s just a sign of information asymmetry. Which is one of the ways economic systems can get unbalanced. It’s no different than an investment bubble or other situation that takes more than Econ 101 levels of analysis to understand.

The takeoff isn't directly automated, but there's a system called the "flight director" [1] that provides indicators on the pilot flying's display that correspond with a configured trajectory. In this case, it sounds like the flight director was badly misconfigured and the pilots not only omitted to reconfigure it, but followed the erroneous indication far past any point at which it was remotely reasonable (or remotely safe!) to do so.

Paper medical records systems cause errors/deaths for several similar reasons that electronic medical record systems. EMR's with all their faults are probably a net positive.
While all the services above are more or less replaceable (one way or another) or possible to stop using them all together, it’s really hard to replace services like gmail. I wish I have a manual on how to do that properly with a self hosted solution but i’ve never seen something like this.
None of the resources you link specifically address psychostimulants for ADHD. Handwaving and vaguely suggesting one drug is pretty much like all others isn't going to cut it: drugs don't work that way, drugs are _specific_.

The sordid situation around generics manufacturing has no bearing whatsoever on the effectiveness of plain old dexamphetamine or methylphenidate in helping people with ADHD. The FDA approval process doesn't impact how drugs work, just how they're licensed. And just because one single drug contained a carcinogenic ingredient doesn't suddenly mean they all do.

I'll give you one thing though: exercise helps people with ADHD. In addition to psychostimulants.

Most disabilities in general don't increase the fatality rate for COVID-19. Besides advanced age, the real risk factors are chronic conditions like obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and hypovitaminosis D. Those conditions aren't usually classified as disabilities. Governments and communities can help to an extent by facilitating healthier choices but ultimately the patients have to commit to permanent lifestyle changes if they want to reduce their risks.

In my experience, the critical key to weight loss/maintenance is consistent logging. That can be a daily tally in your head, a phone app, paper, whatever. But it must be consistent. Whether you log calories, "points", and/or nutrients is less critical, but if you're just logging calories, you'd better have some other mechanism for maintaining some nutritional balance.

It's weird to feel so away of those issues, I don't do any gaming, my entertainment is usually spent learning esoteric programming languages, or customizing my .emacs or generally customizing my system.

I see a lot of back and forth between "switchers" and a lot of it is about "gaming". I am guessing there is a silent majority who don't necessary care about gaming and are happy using linux just because it's (imho) the best system for programmers/tinkerer?
It still matters since most communication is over the radio, and in many areas it’s highly congested.

When there are 50 pilots on the radio and things are moving fast there isn’t time to slow down and spell things out, and doing so can actually be more dangerous when extraneous stuff ends up on the radio and is misinterpreted.

When you're feeling good, do what you can to improve your life or enjoy it. When you're feeling bad, do what you can get through it.
The world can be a dark and sad place to be in, and stuff like this is accurate more often than not, even if this is slightly satirical.

But realizing that and accepting it for what it is can be liberating.
Honest question: do you believe that a contract someone signs with a gun to their head is legitimate?

If not, why not? At what point does compelled consent become illegitimate? I think most people agree a person with a gun to their head is under duress. After that it's just a matter of figuring out where the line is.

I personally believe the government threatening peoples' livelihood in order to compell them to be vaccinated is placing those people under duress, and can not be considered legitimate consent.

For what it's worth, I also think most healthy people ought to vaccinate themselves just as a matter of being good member of society.

This is not a productive viewpoint, it’s defeatist.

How would socialized medicine help in this specific case? More power to the government? The government already has plenty of power to influence outcomes through spending. However, that power has been applied poorly.

We need mass repeal of old government regulations and the appointing of technocrats (as in people concerned with low level details of regulations). Additionally we need new highly adversarial independent regulatory bodies to prevent capitalistic interests from causing market collapse.

The current agencies are too in bed with industry, and it’s not beneficial to the public.

Giving more power to the current government systems which rolled out this poor response seems like the wrong answer.
I didn't say reckless. But we also can't get the death number to zero without spending an infinite amount of resources. But doing so would result in more deaths due to not spending resources elsewhere. The problem is we can't look at everything individually. We can to a certain point but after that there are coupled effects and also noise. This is very different than saying that we can be reckless (which is a gray term, not a binary).
At least on the ethereum side they are moving to a Proof of Stake system which doesn't require the insane hardware and energy that Proof of Work consensus requires. So there will be some relief on the horizon.

Also, I expect over time that fewer cryptos will use Proof of Work. Unless you're Bitcoin/Ethereum, proof of work chains get attacked all the time. Look at Ethereum Classic.
Awesome! Are you doing anything that has loitering capabilities in an area? Something that's always bothered me is illegal fishing off the coasts of poor countries that can't afford to effectively monitor their own waters and I have been thinking about ways to tackle this (e.g. a system of buoys with sensor arrays that ping the coast guard/navy if they detect a ship without their AIS system on).
The airplane will seek its trimmed speed (which is adjustable via a very powerful adjustable pitch horizontal stabilizer).

If there’s more power than needed for the trimmed speed, the airplane will climb. If there’s less, it will descend.

262 knots is well within the trim range, so it’s impossible to say without knowing the trim setting, but if the airplane was programmed to hold an altitude at 262 knots, it could (by driving the stab angle of incidence higher or lower, as needed)
Nice game indeed! But I do agree with softblush. For the pull back, there should be some kind of linear guide showing (or at the very least, something that shows that the squirrel is being pulled for a shot).

They have done things like come up with a mining only SKU, apparently partially because they are annoyed that people aren't using their cards for their intended purpose. Probably, while a sale is a sale, they see the crypto market as flakier and would rather keep their gaming reputation intact.

Gas is included because the German """green""" party has heavily lobbied for it. The Belgians """greens""" announced that its okay for them to use gas, because overall, in Europe, other countries will offset it. Greenpeace lobbies for it because they, themselves, sell gas. Nuclear had to be defended tooth and nail for over a year, with active rejection from the Germans for its inclusion in that list.

Green parties across Europe are a pathetic joke.
This is really cool, I've never seen an article (and commenters) go into such detail on a plane incident.
You are basically asking if it's possible to know whether we live in a simulated world or not.

That is a good question. One possible answer would be "It depends on the quality of the simulation". If we are living in a simulated world there could be a simulated drug the so-called red pill which allows you to see the execution of the simulation.

If we started seeing Fortran source-code in the sky and the code would seem to be about running a world-simulation, and we would also see data-expressions in the sky that curiously described the world we experience outside of us then I think we would be pre-disposed to think it looks like we are simulated beings in a simulated world.
> Well, the debate is now over. In order to get IntelliSense to work correctly, bottom-up programming is best. IntelliSense wants every class, every method, every property, every field, every method parameter, every local variable properly defined before you refer to it. If that’s not the case, then IntelliSense will try to correct what you’re typing by using something that has been defined, and which is probably just plain wrong.

This gives me an idea: somebody should make an inverse intellisense that lets you type as if a function exists that you haven’t created yet, and instead of using a bunch of red squigglies and making you feel like a fool for typing broken code, offers you a shortcut to create the code that doesn’t exist yet.

Bonus points if it uses the language’s type inference to inform what to create, like:

String s = foo.bar(someInt);

Would offer a quick way to make the stub:

// (class of foo)
String bar(int someInt) {
// TODO
}

There’s probably tons of ways to make this super ergonomic too, maybe with an easy keyboard shortcut (maybe if ctrl+space triggers intellisense, ctrl+enter could trigger the “make stub” functionality) and could work quickly and with no fuss. The method just gets added in the background, you don’t even see it, you just get to keep typing out your train of thought.

This could be extended to more than just methods, but whole classes/structs/etc.

I know IDE’s have lots of affordances for creating new code from templates/quick actions, but there would be something magical about being able to just type out your mental model at the current abstraction layer, all at once without distraction, and have the IDE better help you “make real” the code you just referenced.
