Milan?!

Yuck. Worst city in Italy: it's expensive, polluted, crowded, and has little of what makes Italy so nice in many other places.

Italians move there because it's the business capital of the country, and there are jobs and money. But if you can live anywhere with a decent connection... that's the last place I'd go.
It's utterly insane!

A 30cm sphere has a volume of around 1.1 x 10^5 cm^3. Cobalt's density is about 8.9g/cm^3, so we're looking at roughly 10^6 grams of 60Co, or about a ton of the stuff.

60Co puts out 1100 Curies of radiation per gram, so this sphere represents about 1.1 billion Curies. To put this in perspective, a nuclear weapon detonation releases on the order of 1-5 MCuries of fallout: the Chernobyl disaster vented about 200 MCuries into the environment: total contamination left behind by the Soviet nuclear weapons program is estimated at around 3 GCuries.

I am not sanguine about a research experiment that requires assembling multiple Chernobyl's worth of high level gamma emitters in a red-hot capsule, dropping it on the ground, and hoping it stays intact ...

Massively collaborative incubation
It's a small computer on a single board, but it's geared towards the high end as far as performance and features go. From the Arduinos, the RasPis, the BanPis, Beagleboards, to small but full-fledged Atom boards it's a huge spectrum.

It's absolutely great that we have so many great systems to choose from, but I'm not sure one is really a "response" to the other.

For example, the Raspberry Pi hits the sweet spot for me as far as home automation things go - it is reasonably powerful enough to run all the software I need including a full web stack, but it has a really low power consumption. For a media station I'd probably choose a Banana Pi instead. The Sharks Cove looks like a great solution if you have to run a minimal Windows (of course).

Edit: the title has been changed so it no longer references the Pi, making parts of this post moot. Still, I'm leaving it as it was.

A rough resume from my original one.

http://sidgaming.neocities.org/CrackResume.html
I think a big difference in cost-of-living is paying a premium for short-term accommodation. There are definitely places to live here in Kraków for 900zł per month, but I'm paying significantly more for the privilege of staying for a short time (and the convenience of AirBnB).

city’s uneasy relationship with new arrivals.

It's bizarre considering that with limited exceptions (mostly descendants of the Ohlone), everyone in San Francisco is an immigrant going back several generations. San Francisco appears to be a city that thrives on immigration and new arrivals, so perhaps the people getting upset about it now are just a tiny but noisy minority?
The anti-tech protests seem like thinly-veiled xenophobia. SF is too fancy to admit that int engages in xenophobia, so it chooses tech as a proxy for the attack.
His business argument concludes with this: "then we're talking a high margin ads business worth an additional $1.5B a year in revenue."

So we're talking about the app store (Google Play Store), which is an extraordinarily important centerpiece to Google's hold on Android and mobile. The risk: you mess up the app store, and torpedo Android; the benefit: you gain 2% in revenue, maybe 6% in new profit.

Google isn't getting out of bed for $1.5 billion in new revenue, and they sure as heck aren't putting Android at risk in any regard for such a small sum. In two years they'll be as large as Microsoft, sporting north of $80 billion in sales. $1.5 billion is now a rounding error.

You'd have to say this concept was a $10 or $20 billion opportunity. Otherwise Google will never consider it.
That's because immigrants were largely (perceived to be) from lower economic strata, and might undercut workers who were already there. That's not the same problem as today, when the newcomers are already higher paid than you and can buy anything they want - including your apartment, apparently.

I've thought first person games could be useful for self improvement in lots of other ways too. Such as getting comfortable with public speaking, or social anxiety in general.

For language learning, this might sound silly, but I've also thought a first person role playing game where you're a baby and everyone speaks to you like they do to babies in the language you're trying to learn. (My pet theory is that children aren't necessarily way better at learning language, but it's more how people interact with them: speaking slowly, using small words, telling them what they're doing, etc.

(I'll get downvoted for this, but) I would honestly summarize my ±2 week experience of the inner-SF vibe to an outsider as leftier than thou (but with crossfit, expensive consumer devices, latte and web-based radio).

On the plus side, the hotel I was staying in had International Miss Leather on at the time, which made for an interesting stay: A character in skimpy leather and its plaything on a leash asked me in the lift one day to judge the competition ("...in the grand ballroom")!

And the largest nuclear detonation of all time was the Russian Tsar Bomba, clocking in a 50 megatons, vice the 15 for Castle Bravo. The explosion broke windows over five hundred miles away. But even then, structures > 75 miles away mostly survived, so it still wouldn't have destroyed an entire state the size of Arkansas.

And supposedly, the original design was for 100 megatons, but they dialed it back because of fallout concerns.

The two main typefaces are Knockout and Gotham, both being fonts from Hoefler & Co. — formerly Hoefler & Frere-Jones (H&FJ), until Jonathan Hoefler allegedly never gave Tobias Frere-Jones the equity stake he promised, eventually calling him just an employee[1].

Not only do I think is Hoefler & Co. a terrible company under Hoefler's leadership for that unethical move, the company has refused for the longest time to support web fonts using @font-face — now they partially support it, but only using their proprietary hosting platform, which is just setting a bad precedent for the open web.

There are plenty of small foundries producing high-quality typefaces, with @font-face friendly licensing for webfonts. Can we please stop using Hoefler fonts and supporting this guy?!

> The threat of attack at any time. Constant fear. All so people could build their little empires inside the military and intelligence communities.

I'm pretty sure the Soviet Union did exist, and actually did have WMDs. Similarly, I'd like to ask how you would explain the statistical ridiculousness of terrorism to the families of the thousands of people that died in the twin towers. I'm sure they'd be fascinated to hear it.

I fully accept a lot of mistakes were made during the cold war, and I also deplore the expensive, ineffective and unnecessary overreach by western intelligence agencies, but the threats they were and are purporting to defend us from are very real. Some of our responses to those threats have been mistaken and unnecessary, but it certainly does not follow that those threats don't exist and don't need to be responded to.

One difference is vastly more wealth. The Scissorhands suburb was a classic "Levittown" suburb in non-classic colors: relatively small & inexpensive single-story homes that are virtually identical, each home has a lawn in the front and back but not a lot of space on the sides, not a lot of trees or even shrubbery because it's a development built in a relatively short period of time on what used to be farmland.

Bueller's suburb is decades older, much closer to the "urban" it's a "sub" of, Chicago, which grew over time. Much bigger houses, all two-story, with bigger plots of land and plenty of trees providing shade and privacy. The houses are more varied because they were built over a longer span of time by different people.

Both had sidewalks but there are ones like the Scissorhands suburb that don't.

Neither has much economic or ethnic diversity. Because it developed over time, Bueller's suburb may have more integrated retail and services while Scissorhands' is strictly a bedroom community.

Thats the thing - the indicators when used right are used for science. Namely improvement of self or others. It gets harmful when they are solely used to determine if you should get a raise or get fired.

They can certainly be used to indicate problem areas i.e. "This guy is producing 50% less according to RANDOMKPI", does that make sense or do we need to fix something? But if they are used like "X is at 80% of RANDOMKPI, he will be fired if he is not at 90%" then they are harmful, obviously, because they dont take into account the much more important things like "X is at 80% of RANDOMKPI because he is unofficially the teacher of how to deal with anything in our payment systems, so he spends half his time helping out others, which adds way more value to us than if he was just implementing features" or whatever.

Once KPIs start to drive evaluations, you're down a slippery slope.
