Moore's Law is more about what's available than what people choose to buy. PCs have been over-serving people's needs for years which is why many people are spending less and less money on PCs.

I’m the Head of Engineering and I'm looking for Ruby on Rails, frontend web, data engineering & infrastructure engineers. We are working to make it easier/possible for the world of cosmetics & wellness products to avoid toxic substances and promote cleaner, more transparent, ethical & regulated products.

Our vision is to enable the future of consumer cosmetic product development for a healthier and less toxic world. We’re doing this by creating the only product that can asess a brand's ingredients against stringent regulatory chemical policies in real time, offer viable alternatives to any ingredients not met, and offer access to a a pre-vetted marketplace to build a product from start to finish.

For example, this allows a brand to know their product has substances banned in the EU or that they'll need to change an ingredient to be able to sell under the a retailers 'Clean' line. Currently we work with brands, retailers and manufacturers in the beauty and wellness space, but the world is our oyster as there are many industries that sneak nasty chemicals into their products!
Wasn't this not a pedestrian, but a cyclist crossing in a completely inappropriate place? Granted an SDC should still react to this while many humans in the same situation would not.
In first solution - it depends. There is also option, that Islam ceases to exist(all according to islamic scriptures). Palestinian Arabs in that situation can convert to Judaism or whatever and anyone who would be able to find Jewish ancestry who were converted can probably easily find those roots. Though in that case, borders of Israel would include more than Palestine.

The conflict from Islam POV is about which religion is better. That is biggest weakness of Islam in the region, where Jews were living in Medina and Mecca long before Islam was arisen and where majority of Arabs were Christians up till Middle Ages. So, even if it takes another 1000 years, I would put money on that Jews will survive, while Islam will be long forgotten history.
> Even in todays traditional banking system there are a litany of cases where people refuse to take responsibility for their gullible actions and expect their bank to bail them out.

Yeah, but in today's traditional banking system people don't have to contend with currency-changing ATMs that change dollars to euros, and when you feed euros into them by mistake they just shred your money in stead of spitting it back out.

That's not the user being gullible (or OK, maybe that too, but mainly), it's the system being moronic. Or perhaps rather, evil.

That's a pretty arbitrary measure though - you're making "free" money either way to pay towards that mortgage while retaining the whole value of the asset while it is gradually purchased. Whether you've got enough to cover mortgage or not doesn't necessarily flip a binary switch making it a good investment or not.

Property ownership is a market barred from entry by a high buy in cost to account for some risk - but the risk is rather minimal and most properties are going to be value accruing over time. We can observe this by looking at how cheap general property insurance tends to be (unless you're in a really risky area - i.e. building a house in a flood plain).

> "driver might manage all driving duties on surface streets then become a passenger as the car enters a highway."

This is the kind of setup I can't wrap my head around. The car might "require" you to take over when you exit the highway, but it can't exactly "make" you. If you fall asleep on the freeway and the car isn't willing/able to drive at the end of your journey, or in edge cases if you were to pass out, etc. what does it do when it gets to your designated exit, or to the final exit of a designated highway? Are there going to be a bunch of cars all stacked up with flashers on the shoulder by every off-ramp waiting for their people to wake up / quit playing on their phones and engage manual mode?

Not correct. Wifi is not used to boost precision at speed. That is generally done via dead reckoning using the gyroscope and accelerometer. Wifi helps with bootstrapping a coarse location quickly before satellites can be acquired, and with indoor positioning.

Just browsing through AWS documentation, it looks like you can set the SMSType to Transactional for critical messages that support customer transactions. I'm not sure if other providers have this option but looking for an SMS Type you can set may be a good place to start.

GPS itself doesn't use much battery at all, nor do the calculations that use it. GPS-enabled apps use a lot of battery because they have to constantly wake up the device and enable the antenna, but that hardly matters for a navigation app, which is already awake and scanning constantly. Most of the battery use on Google Maps nav comes from keeping the screen on, and re-drawing the map it shows.

It does seem like we have enough RAM to me. There's always a bottleneck to whatever you do on a computer, but it keeps shifting. I think the bottleneck nowadays is often latency rather than throughout/capacity, which sort of translates into latency or software that can utilize all the hardware capacity effectively.

Gamers are great at finding bottlenecks. They are now more interested in RAM latencies rather than amount of RAM.

Which I don't. I'd rather see reliable operation than "predictable except for when it fails outright" in almost every situation.

Ah, good questions. Although we are missing a lot of rock, paleontologists have spent a lot of time looking through the non-missing parts. So far, they have found a lot of really interesting things, such as the macroscopic soft-bodied fossils of the Ediacaran biota [1], but even so there's really very little in the way of shelly fossils until the Cambrian, and their appearance really does seem to be quite sudden as far as we can tell!

As someone who did actually get run over when running through a crossroad as a kid, I _never_ run through crossroads since then, regardless of eye contact or not.

I sense op feels entitled to use free Google services and dictate how their product should work.

There are many arguments why using GPS alone is both battery intensive and also more fragile as it won't work near tall buildings, indoors and takes time to localize.

But at the end of the day if you don't trust some corporation you can stop using their free services when there are alternatives around.

How about in town, going 20mph?

Most of the android tracing that I've seen logged on location history is wifi multilateration based. Since wifi is on most of the time, it's the quickest way of finding your location (since you're most likely on the road), and you can turn off GPS saving about 25mW or more of power.
> We're talking about a mortgage on the rental property itself not on the landlord's personal residence.

Yes. Everyone in this conversation understands that. There's no relation between the amount and terms on your mortgage for your rental property and the market price to rent a given unit.

If I take a 20 year mortgage does that mean I should charge more rent than if I took 30 years because my payment is higher? Should I drop rent by half when I'm done paying my mortgage since I no longer have a payment? It's nonsensical.

There's especially no reason to expect that rent should cover 100% of the principal fraction of your mortgage payment. Taxes, maintenance, interest, etc. are pure costs which are understandably passed on to tenants. The principal fraction of a mortgage payment is not a cost, it is building your equity.

If rent is covering all costs and "only" 50% of the principal fraction of your mortgage payment you're still making a profit. Because you're paying, let's say, $1000 of the mortgage payment with your own money, but you're getting a $2000 increase in equity.

This is a fallacy popular with bad drivers since it lets them rationalize their decision to put other people at risk. It's designed to shift the focus away from agency — note how the people most at risk aren't given a decision? — and it relies on an assumption which becomes monstrous as soon as you think about it. Trying to phrase it as a math problem with the implication that time is fungible makes it sound like a minor optimization but you really want to consider just how uneven the impact is: you're saving an amount of time so small you'll barely even remember it but the person you hit may be losing the rest of their life or spending the remainder of it significantly degraded. Around here, a lot of the people getting hit are kids so it's an especially unfavorable cost in years of quality life.

The other unquestioned assumption is that this is even a serious time savings. In my experience, the average driver _massively_ overestimates how much time aggressive driving actually saves them. In most cases, all it means is that they're spending more time at the next backup — I've had people weaving around me for literally hours on the interstate without appearing to notice that they were doing a LOT more work failing to improve their relative position at all, and in the city I routinely see the same driver “passing” me on every block.

Then, of course, if we're talking about lost time, how many years of quality life do people lose because they're deterred from healthier transportation options? It would take rather an awful lot of stop signs to cancel out the savings from even 5% of people switching from driving to bicycling, walking, or transit.

> The real question is why anyone bothers stopping at all if all directions are clear.

Because the most common excuse for hitting someone is “I didn't see them” or “They jumped in front of me!” (which in the vast majority of cases really means that the driver's attention was directed somewhere else). It's not like traffic engineers don't know yield signs exist: they use them because they're intentionally trying to prevent drivers from staying at a high speed due to the risk to pedestrians and cross traffic. Most people who live in neighborhoods which are popular with commuters have to spend years begging to get a stop sign, often requiring a serious collision to force the local DOT to act.

These military positions require "not understanding" as a prerequisite. Do you think you'd be put in charge of something like the war in Vietnam, if you didn't tell the president you could win the war for them? You'd just have been sidelined or fired if you gave a realistic opinion.

Which is not unique to the military, of course. Have fun letting the CEO know their sales goals are unobtainable.

He seems to be just a theoretic, not an actual military nor weapons manufacturer. From the start his pondering about unimportance of hitting engine instead of warhead is already very wrong and very theoretic. It is also very theoretic wish to hit the rocket frontally, I mean it would be great, it is a wet dream of any air defense, yet on practice hitting sideway chasing from behind is more realistic and still works great usually.

It's gives a better understanding of what's the bottom line after expenses.

You're right that I inadvertently mischaracterized Siegel's article. I expected him to quantify the Z-motion of the solar system in the remainder of the text, and would have known that he did not if I had not lazily and sloppily declined to read the remainder. I simply relied on his reputation as a science popularizer while looking for a popular treatment rather than parametric quantities.

Turning to the latter, it is well known that the residual solar motion with respect to the average of local stars is U_sun ~ -10 km s^1, V_sun ~ 5-15 km s^-1, W_sun = 7 km s^-1, leading to the sun moving centre-ward, faster than the local standard of rest, and northward out of the galactic plane. (cf. Dehnen & Binney 1998 [1], and also Schönrich, Binney & Dehnen[2] figures of (U,V,W) = (11.1, 12.24, 7.25) km/s with uncertainties (+0.69-0.75, +-0.47, +0.37-0.36)). Although we are currently close to mid-plane, with a half-period of ~30 million years the solar system for the past six hundred million years has moved in the R,z plane +- 0.075 kpc from the mid-point.

This is simply not within the equatorial plane, as opposed to oscillating within the bulk of the stellar disc and through the equatorial plane. The distinction is, in my view, important. So is the point that other local stars move in the z-plane differently.

R,\theta is also a bit more complicated than suggested by Siegel's article; the orbit in that plane traces out a rosette shape around the galactic centre.[3]

None of this however addresses the key point, which is that the equatorial planes of stellar objects and collapsars are not in general parallel to the equatorial plane of the galaxy, and as a consequence polar jets are not perpendicular to it. The comment several generations up to which you initially replied asked about why the radio-loud steep-spectral-index filaments are all close to perpendicular to the galaxy's equatorial plane. It is a good question, and your answer was not correct.
