So could you use a balloon to get to 100,000 feet and then use a solar powered ionic lifter to get to space? There are more ways to get to space than using rockets. The "tyranny of the rocket equation" only applies to rockets.

Helm is not a proper configuration language. It just does string replace. Unbelievable that people actually use it.

FWIW, I have USAA and had the almost exact same thing happen to me in 2020 - car stolen and totaled. They paid me a really fair deal on the cash back for the 2yo crosstrek.

> being able to take it on the plane

I see the point of portability. I also wonder how much people actually care about being entertained in airplanes. You put it as your 3rd bullet point after "not being tethered", does it mean you're spending a crazy amount of time in your life inside planes ? Or is such a soul crushing experience that it easily warrants 3500$ of investment to improve ?

And as a follow up question, did you buy a Quest2/3 under the same premise, and will replace your current setup with the AVP as an upgrade ?
This is a huge problem. Childcare is one field where productivity is decreasing due to regulations that keep pushing down child-teacher ratios. They are basically told that they can only grow more expensive (since productivity can’t increase while labor keeps becoming more valuable) as time goes on. Pretty soon only the rich will be able to afford it (and that’s already true in many regions).
It’s insurance. Everyone who pays into it funds a pot to make those whole who lost.
In the Netherlands they're getting pretty common. In theory the taxes make them expensive to own but in reality they're always registered as businesses vehicles (the reg starts with a V) and they pay less tax than a Honda civic. You're only supposed to do 500 km or less of personal driving a year but the rule is ignored.
One reason could be that the current unemployment rate used is not that useful.

A better metric would be total employment: https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/employed-persons

It has increased since the pandemic, but so did the US population. If the linear trend (pre-pandemic) carried on, the US should be at 165 million total employed. However, currently it is sitting at 161 million. So there is 3-4 million jobs missing.

Interactions between particles such as quarks are mediated by fields filling the space between them (such as electromagnetic field and gluon field). Ripples in these fields propagate at speed less than or equal to c.

This is a classical picture, but the quantum picture is similar: evolution is generated by a local Hamiltonian constructed out of field operators attached to every point of space.

So, both classically and quantumly, relativity demands the existence of fields filling space to propagate causal influences at finite speed.
Do we use it for any practical applications in practice? The light losses alone would make this only able to be used in very specific applications.
Even ignoring Prime, Amazon's value proposition has only continued to drop over time, particularly as it continues to be overrun with junk brands (you know the ones- their names are always gibbrish and in all caps) that you can get just as easily on one of the Chinese upstart e-tailer sites for much cheaper albeit with longer shipping times.

Add in the issue of knockoff products being comingled with genuine and I'm not sure quick shipping times are enough to make it worth it.
It’s impossible. 80% of their costs is already for teachers, 10% for insurance and 10% for rent. There is literally no way to push costs down, especially since labor costs will continue to increase. If productivity can’t be increased at all, the whole industry is basically doomed by math.
Sorry to hear that :-(. I see long tail passenger bikes in NYC a bit, at least in Brooklyn. It's a city weirdly choking on cars.

> Your reaction is a non-sequitur to the author's point; they were being sassy by saying if you want optimal battery life, plug in and let the device manage voltage/battery health forever.

I don't think that's a non sequitur; the author is wrong. Leaving the device plugged in won't give you optimal battery life, it will at best simply avoid it mattering. The firmware can reserve room and say it's at 100% when it's physically 90%, but that's still going to degrade the cells faster than 80% or 60%.

> And yet what Ms DuBarry’s story shows is that, in fact, American car insurance is still far too cheap. As much as drivers may resent paying higher premiums, insurance covers only a small fraction of the costs inflicted in car crashes. Instead, health insurers, government and drivers involved in crashes shoulder the burden, and victims are rarely fully compensated.

> According to a study published last year by the NHTSA, America’s highway-safety regulator, the direct economic costs of car crashes in 2019 was $340bn, or about 1.6% of GDP. Yet the NHTSA says insurance—and not just car insurance—covered just 54% of that. The agency put the true social cost, including lost life years, at nearly $1.4trn. In 2019, 9m people were involved in serious car crashes; around 4.5m people suffered injuries and 36,000 were killed.

> Drivers are subsidised, and society at large pays the bill.

Fuck cars.
No you’re being pedantic and proving my point. Everyone, every single person, knows when you’re doing something that could potentially devastate an environment and if you have to ask if it could don’t be dumping. Why should anyone be allowed to dump anything at all into the local environment?

If you just recovered a secret key, you have no idea how many bits were flipped or their positions or if they were flipped at all or even it if it's actually a key rather than random garbage data. Key strength is therefore maintained.

Posting a secret key here and specifying "exactly one bit was flipped" reduces the problem to N guesses where N is the key length since you know all the other N - 1 bits are correct. Leaking just a few bits has catastrophic consequences, in your example all bits except one are leaked.
I am sorry. That is a terrible disease. To my knowledge John Hopkins currently has the most promising trials for ALS but generally speaking there is not currently a full understanding of the underlying mechanisms of that disease and little, even in the most experimental ends of the pipeline, for it. I am not aware of anything that has even the slightest promise of effectiveness that would be available in mexico or china that would not be available in the US if they met eligibility criteria for currently open trials. The ACT for ALS passed in 2021, amongst other things, specifically opens what paths are available to patients with ALS and in certain circumstances offers grants.

Agreed, rewriting was not the option (as mentioned in the beginning). Moreover, It would have taken longer to build a nice TUI interface then it took to dockerize it.

Depends on the language and platform/Runtime...

For C# a single executable over a directory of files. For that and Java, a massive runtime, generally slow cold starts, high initial memory use, reduced relative effectiveness for smaller platforms (RPi and similar).

For JavaScript and Python, slow introp, in addition to the negatives above.

It's also possible to leak memory like a sieve in any language.
Actually, the atmospheric drag is not a big challenge. Yes, it is a consideration of course, hence the payload fairing etc, but much larger problem going to orbit is getting speed.

I am sorry about your situation, but existing so many companies and startups scamming and trying to scam people I don't feel it's slow and paternalistic (here in EU is even "slower" than in USA)

Better to learn a tiny corner of nix (which you may later apply to the rest of it, or not) than to learn a language with a narrower use case.

But one who embraces nix fully is one who is willing to commit a lot of time to turning their back on convention. Returning to 90% of the conventions that they worked so hard to leave behind probably won't excite them.

So it's not silly, it's just that the person to do it is culturally unlikely.

I don't claim to understand this paper very well either, but based on a skim it seems the general idea is to do longitudinal blood testing on an individual level to establish a baseline for blood parameters, to then be able to detect changes that can't easily be explained by normal physiological processes(e.g a sudden rise in hemoglobin).

This is similar to what has been suggested before, but due to many confounding factors the individualised baseline may be necessary to avoid false positives.
Actually terraform is supposed to address that exact problem itself.

Instead of copy-paste of json files or aws resources, you can write a terraform module to generate it.

If you need to copy paste a large chunk of terraform module it is time to schedule refactoring.
Previous "wisdom" was that there is/was an anabolic window of 30-60mins post workout, and limited to approx 20grams of protein uptake, with the rest being excreted.

Current trends show that it doesn't matter when you ingest your protein (before/after, or much after), nor how much of it at one sitting, as long as you take that protein. So I guess the study is trying to scientifically justify that trend, as well as posit that there is no limit (since they said the 100g ingestion showed substantially higher amino acids in circulation

"We observed higher plasma, muscle, and whole-body protein synthesis rates following the ingestion of 100 g protein when compared to 25 g protein and placebo, respectively. The greater metabolic responses were present during the early postprandial phase (0–4 h) but were even more pronounced during the prolonged postprandial phase (4–12 h)."

And for the protein they used, looks like just concentrate from a specific lactating cow (talk about controlled source!): "In the present study, milk protein was applied because it is the food item with the largest contribution to daily protein intake in the Western world. Because milk protein consists of 20% rapid digestible whey protein and 80% slowly digestible casein protein, it could be speculated that a more prolonged anabolic response to protein ingestion is unique to slowly digestible proteins."

Sure, but it's worth pointing out that it's market that matters, not price.

PCs were aimed at business. They were a cost-saver. You could iterate fast because businesses have cash, and are eolljng to spend it. Show them that spending on PC saves money, and you can ship fast enough. The churn was insane, but it didn't matter. (And I was fortunately on the receiving end of discarded hardware.)

I understood this point when I inherited a "broken" dot matrix printer. I took the head apart cleaned it all up, put it together and it worked. But j already had a printer, so i offered to return it. I wad told "no thanks, the person now has an inkjet, they don't want rhe for matrix back. Being "broken" was an excuse to get an upgrade.

Turns out the home market didn't want a new one each year. They didn't want new generations of hardware and software every 5 minutes. Amigas (and Apple 2s) were sold only slightly improved for almost a decade after first release.

PCs won because its easier to sell to business than the home. It wasn't Doom that killed Amiga it was Lotus 123.
You're right, I was a game early. They largely switched to Windows during Quake 2's development, NT instead of 95.

In IE6 it was really easy to lay memory with long lived apps. Any HTML object could have a JS event attached and give versa for object references in JS. Done it was across the COM boundary, if you removed an element from the DOM it would stick around if referenced in JS and give versa for inline JS on* attributes...

I worked on an application with extjs that the workers had to close and reopen at least once a day. Or unofficial instructions were portable Firefox.
Agreed, and also: vehicle size itself. As vehicles get bigger, people feel less safe sharing the road with them in their sub-compacts, so now they buy crossovers, which themselves grow with every generation. It becomes an arms race in which the environment and anyone not trying to get around not in a big metal box is the inevitable loser.

If hemoglobin mass is so desirable, why don't all these super athletes simply train at high altitudes and then fly in right before showtime? I know it's probably because cheating is easier, but are athletes really so thoroughly averse to such an ascetic lifestyle that not a single one does it?

> Treat the person as a senior and leave them by and let them ask you for help. Then give them bit sized advise on how you would do it and maybe throw in others do this or that but it's up to you.

That's actually what I did the first month, since we were on holidays in December ( I always replied and tried to follow up).

I carefully explained the complete context of the feature.

Context of this was abstracting away the Azure Cognitive Search specific filter queries in caller applications ( yuk :p ).

Showed a dev branch where the rough work was done on 1 webapp ( it needed more work to verify the filters by entity and create pr's per entity), which creates a new route.

And then a pr with a feature flag in the caller webapp to call the new route with a feature flag, for the caller web apps.

He just couldn't do and I was flabbergasted tbh. On multiple occasions he literally said he was stuck, while they're were multiple pr's already completed by me with an almost exact pr ( the same changes but in different webapps ).

One time, he was stuck to call the new endpoint that was generated, since it had other arguments.

Another time, I gave him advise to check assemblyRedirect to fix an issue. I had 3 feedback loop calls with him about this in particular and he couldn't understand assemblyRedirect's syntax.

At the end, I just did it on my own in a pair programming session and explained the 2 solutions I found. Which was also what he requested, => "can you fix it for me".
Interesting — what sort of big-ticket items do people buy on Amazon that would add up to $7k? I don't buy computers or TVs there (prices are better elsewhere IME), and I can't think of anything else I buy that is in the several-thousand-dollar range. Honestly TVs wouldn't even do it, since I buy them infrequently and spend hundreds (not thousands) on them.

We do buy a lot of smaller items, and it's possible we spend $7k in total on an annual basis. But I'm curious what sort of regular big-ticket purchases might make this add up.

There's also the higher discount at Whole Foods, but honestly I've found their pricing to be so high in recent months that I don't go there at all. Bread, eggs, and milk were 40% more than at Trader Joes. They do have great deals occasionally, but the vast majority of our grocery purchases are staples that are typically quite expensive there.

That rhetoric about teacher (and medical worker) pay during the pandemic was, whether people realize it or not, nothing but a cynical attempt to encourage teachers not to quit, in order to save the parents' jobs.

A lot of teachers (my wife being one as well) truly thought that people had been woken up to the incredible crisis in our education system, but 2-3 years later, we know better; they just wanted teachers to stay on long enough for their life situations to stabilize, so they could go back to ignoring them.
