> 3) my savings & free time grow ( as contractors get paid a bit more ) and can afford more time off between projects

This is the part that didn't work so well in my experience. With each project I was at first in "working" mode, then in "time off" mode (which usually meant working on personal stuff for free), and then suddenly in "need to find a new paying project asap" panic mode when the savings were running out. With each next project my financial situation had to be worse in order to successfully trigger panic mode, so I quickly started to look for something longer-term instead.

As far as I understand buyer and seller still have exchange information for the transaction to happen. The moment the buyer tries to use the stolen bitcoin he will have the police knocking on his door to find out where he got them from. The seller basically ends up completely at the mercy of the buyers security, with the added bonus that bisq doesn't enforce a completed transaction, so the buyer might just disappear once the goods changed hands without ever paying.

Was thinking about how I would use these eVTOLs, and realized that everywhere I would want to go, there was a Costco relatively close. Costco to Costco throughout a metro might make sense. If the eVTOL could go 100 mph, it would cut my travel time in half, at 200mph, Dana Point to LAX in 20min during rush hour would be revolutionary.

In the sense that a good heat pump can be over 400% efficient but electrical resistance heat is 100% efficient.

(ok, it's not scientifically correct to say that anything is over 100% efficient, and COP gets lower as the temperature decreases, but a good minisplit can still deliver a COP close to 2.0 down to 0 degrees F)

Is it just me or does TFA's whole argument rests upon the assumption that you don't add labels to your pie charts ?

If I add percentages or values to the chart, there are no issues with either interpretation or comprehension. The pie chart is just a visually pleasant way to display data compared to, say, a table or a bar chart. Data that's displayed in a boring is quickly forgotten, but data presented in a striking way will help your point being remembered. It's akin to rhetoric/style in writing. You can write in a matter-of-fact descriptive way and bore 90% of readers to death, or you can articulate your point with striking metaphors, rhythm, etc... and make an impact.

This is an issue that I often notice with engineers. They assume that communication is transparent. A five page long table of figures? Sure! A front-end with tons of buttons, slide bars for every adjustable parameters and a full report of everything going on under the hood? Who wouldn't want that!

There's nothing wrong with pretty. You don't always have to sacrifice accuracy to get pretty. And pretty ensures that your accurate data isn't ignored.
The book Diaspora by Greg Egan touches on this.

I particularly like the short story in there "Wang Carpets".

It builds on Wang Tiles, discovered by Hao Wang when trying to solve a tiling the plane problem. He discovered that it is possible to simulate a Turing machine with a given tile set which meant that solving that tiling the plane problem was equivalent to solving the halting problem. ... but you can simulate a Turing machine with tiles.

If that piques your curiosity, Andrew Glassner's Notebook: Recreational Computer Graphics has some examples of tile sets that can solve math problems.

> Get three opinions from professionals giving the default answer and you have three default answers.

What's the likelihood they've all standardized on the exact same default heuristic?

But even if they did, at least in some of the examples giving the same default answer would be literally impossible when 2nd opinions are taken into account.

The security guard example is instructive. Scatter a truckload of security guards throughout the entire building. They cannot all occupy the same space at the same time. Consequently, the sound of ostensible wind to one security guard is the sound of a robber breathing to another security guard.

Scatter a truckload of rocks throughout the entire building. Now you have a bunch of goddamned rocks.

I'm no digital signal processing professional but by substituting rocks I'd say we suffered a loss in fidelity.
Let me refer you to the rational wiki on the phrase "just asking questions" https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Just_asking_questions

The way you framed your question comes off, to paraphrase the wiki, as an attempt to make a wild accusation socially acceptable. Given your response here, I don't get the impression that this was intentional, but given just your original post I absolutely did get the impression that it was intended as an accusation.

To attempt to answer the question, the launch weather report [1] does take into account solar activity, and rated it as a low risk. SpaceX takes a more detailed look at the weather than what's in the public report too. However that report almost certainly only counted solar weather during the launch itself - I don't know of public documentation either way towards them looking at post-launch weather as a launch criteria.

Google would need more than one raw GB per GB, because there is some risk the drive would fail. I don't know what the answer would be, my NAS is a two bay solution, so I waste 50% of the capacity, a 4 bay one might only waste 25%. And that is without accounting for disk replacement cost, operating and electrictal costs and so on.
I think one reason I travel is to see family in other countries but also to see other weather. Right now it's cold as hell where I live and I just need someplace sunny to go see and experience.
That was a one in a century or so storm. It was predictable.
This just isn't true. He's got a respected name in the financial world, had made huge money over a long career, and has real skin in the game. Bloomberg doesn't give any random person an hour long special segment.

Yes he has called for a drop for a long time and been wrong. When talking about big structural macro themes, it's not that weird to be 10 years early on something and to be wrong for that period.

The US is liable for any damage from space SpaceX causes in a different country. If it hits a house in the US, that's a completely different question.

I think it’s entirely reasonable to ask for data to back up SpaceX’s assertions and to feel concerned about it not being furnished. This is how proper science and engineering works. We don’t merely take press releases at face value.
Lisp/Scheme are great brain-expanders. So is APL. For long-term maintenance, the more static typing the better, so I wouldn't use them for anything big, but they're great for one-off problem solving. Before anyone chimes in with "you can do that with macros," patched-in and after-the-fact typing doesn't count.

Go is a strange mix of functional and imperative that, despite its simplicity, is illuminating in its own way.

I was relieved to read the final paragraph.

I have found NSDate/NSCalendar to be the best designed API for date and time calculations, and I never knew it was built on top of ICU. It discourages bad assumptions while many others try to make a more 'fluent' interface that encourages them.

When I first tried Joda in Java it had a builder interface that stank, I was able to easily write tests that produced the wrong date or threw an exception simply by changing the order of construction. But I think that's long gone.

> I know nothing about the supply chain for car radios, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was all made by some secondary supplier, so Mazda doesn't even necessarily have the code to the section they need to patch.

You are correct that in general the automotive OEM's farm out the various components of the vehicle to suppliers. In that case, they probably also have some sort of support contract in place that ensures the supplier will address issues like this in a timely manner for the duration of the warranty period for the vehicles it is included in.
Seems like he should do the opposite, Only release versions with Mazda unsafe titles with a note "Doesn't work on Mazda. Contact their customer support here to complain"
For a job a few years ago, I was open to Teams, and the latest MS ecosystem. I was excited to finally get a chance to use outlook. (turns out they rewrote it and did away with everything that made outlook appealing)

It really is such a painful experience all in all, and so hostile to user experience, that I cannot do it again. And it's only gotten worse... and will continue to get worse - because the order of priority is microsoft -> your company -> you.

So the answer is YES. Tell them you don't use MS products and that it's not a fit.

Teams made me bitterly angry too, and it really doesn't have to be that way! Work somewhere with great tools, and you'll have much better chances of also working with great people.

It’s also fundamentally not possible for the vast majority of people, and I think you know that.

I had written an email to Mark Cuban back when he wrote a blog post about how he got interested in crypto stuff and NFTs (this was about a year ago). My hope was that I could convince him that, if he really wanted to have a positive impact on the world, he would instead use his reach to help educate people on the devastating ecological effects of crypto mining, exactly because no one else of his size was doing so at the time (and still isn’t, except a few, including Bill Maher - hats off to them).

No real surprise there, he never responded and instead just got more active on the crypto train.

Sadly, if things go as per usual, I expect this post to be downvoted by all the crypto bros and receive replies about how supposedly Bitcoin mining isn’t bad for the environment at all etc. and that this has already been “debunked”, and it’s instead carbon-negative bla bla. So go right ahead and knock yourselves out.

IMHO, we should be trying to avoid making senseless and avoidable mistakes that we blame previous generations for. Celebrities have a particular responsibility here as role models for younger generations. If only the crypto fiends/junkies were able to temporarily stop their profit-induced high and run on logic instead of greed, they might even be able to see this, too. Then they’ll find out that they’re not the good guys, as they like to think they are (for whatever reason).

To me, it seems like the comic is saying, rather than using a switch in your environment as a crutch for happiness, find happiness in your routine.

Having a routine that makes you happy is important and not bad advice!

But sometimes, at least for me, I kind of exhaust my options for happiness in a given environment. Eg maybe I've already gotten a job with the best employer in a given location and can't climb any higher professionally, friends have moved away or started a family or whatever, hobbies and activities that used to be novel and fun have become repetitive and dull, I've mastered the local language I wanted to learn etc etc.

That feeling, combined with a basically infinite and always in flux list of places and things I want to experience before my time is up, makes switching my environment up very powerful and enjoyable for me.

Happily admit there's downsides to not "settling down" too and it's not for everyone. But I think most people would benefit from fundamentally switching up their environment at least a few times in their life. If it turns out you were happier where you started you can always go back. But you'll never know other places if you don't give them a shot.
It sounds fun- I will say that living somewhere for a week or a month is pure honeymoon so don’t think it’s being very objective. A year, two years, five years. My feeling about a place changes to polar opposites during that time. Love it, hate it, learn to re-love it despite the warts

I read somewhere else that checked bags compete with other freight that airlines can carry for money, which is why they’re expensive. Maybe they don’t earn as much from freight as from faster turnarounds?
Competitors were actively licensed at the same time as SpaceX, the British government (and probably some other governments) is also actively funding competitors, and the US military has made statements that leads me believe that they plan to as well. Rather than handing them a monopoly, it seems like the governments of the world are doing everything reasonably possible to create a competitive market.

I'm not sure it will succeed, it's a "natural monopoly" type of market (high fixed cost, low marginal cost), and SpaceX has an incredible advantage in being really frickin good at launching rockets (though they do offer to sell those services).

Utf-8 can be implemented with plain old 8-bit chars. It does not need the wide chars like UCS-2, for example, where every character is 16 bytes.

Therefore, by going to utf8 instead of ucs2, we did not have to go to wide chars.

I suspect some combination of 4 and 5.

Seeing how the satellites were taken down not by the storm itself but the atmosphere slightly expanding to make the low-orbit to high-orbit move physically impossible, I wonder if this is something that hadn’t been encountered before, or is a known phenomenon but with unknown consequences.

Known phenomenon with unknown consequences tends to be the kind of stuff SpaceX likes to hurl headfirst into to see what breaks.

My radio in my 2005 Chrysler Crossfire has a weird bug where if I set it to 92.5 KQRS it works fine for about a minute and then suddenly changes station to some country station ~105 that I don’t have as any sort of preset. It’s done this since I bought the car in 2010 and never had a similar behavior with any other stations. It’s really bizarre.

It does not need priests. If someone sets themselves up as a priest of the rock, you should politely tell them that they are not adding any value, and you prefer your rocks un-intermediated. If they make a bid to be some sort of thought leader, tell them you want your thought led by the rock directly.

Hi cosmos friend (I assume you mean $ATOM unless there is another cosmos)

I agree there are some (how many is another topic) not very long term worthy projects out there being worked on due to this being a new area being explored.

However value are given by people and who knows how different projects would evolve and there might be new value created/discovered later.

There are definitely BOTH scams and real value projects and you definitely have to DYOR (Do Your Own Research). Ultimately Web3/decentralization is about taking back control but that also comes with responsibility. If anyone is feeling unable/unwilling to take the risk by investing time into that company/work field then consider pausing/pulling out.

I think where it fails spectacularly is trying to integrate its file sharing to one drive.
