Why are some societies worse off than others, to the point where someone would need to move countries take their entitlements? Might it have something to do with what the entitled countries did to the ones that are worse off?

If you're going to make the argument undocumented immigrants are murdering everyone, you have to actually cite something . This is conjecture.

Unskilled labor isn't a thing. There are plenty of people who can go from zero skill to writing decent python in a weekend (literally better than I've seen on some production systems) if given the chance. The same goes for build

I'm with you on this, but imagine being an American in prison for 10 years because you drilled a 1/8" hole .123" from the edge of a funny shaped piece of aluminum.

Immigrants are substantially less likely to be involved in crime than US born persons. Don't make stuff up if you can't find a reputable source. https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w314

Funny enough, this was a thing in Pandora's Star. There's a weird chapter where the author gets bored and describes this exotic glider extreme sport where people ride variable geometry winged gliders through mega storms on anothe

There's so little air up there that the gliders would go supersonic rather quickly until they got into denser air. This would mean you'd need low aspect dart like wings so they don't get ripped off but that means the landing

It's wild to me that everyone here is taking this seriously. This is high school science fair level stuff.

Ok so as someone working on something vaguely similar (portable computer, slightly different market, more RF focus) I assure you this person is just rambling on a blog. Basically everything on their blog/faq ranges from inept to danger

The $10 number is the base rent, the triple nets are the $5. As such the base rent just represents the cost of money when the structure was built, which most of the time was decades ago. It's been paid off many times over and so the

You're not wrong, but also currently the rust belt, including Detroit, is bouncing back somewhat because it's the last bastion of cheap housing for people who aren't making HN ivory tower money.

As you fucking should. I tried renting commercial real estate and it was an absolute joke. Like $3k/mo total NNN for 1ksqft of crumbling cement cube in the shitty part of town.

by AnarchismIsCool 2y ago
A typical NNN lease (what businesses use) is priced in terms of dollars per square foot per year. A reasonable number would, in fact, be $10/sqft/yr plus the NNNs (insurance, utilities, taxes, another ~$5 maybe) but the land owni

I'd argue compressed file formats make up a lot less of the broader problem space than most people realize. If you're doing anything high performance (where the difference matters) but not immediately consumer facing you're

To the people who think this is easy because they could build this with sparkfun parts: Hardware is fucking hard. Peltier coolers are not nearly as trivial as they sound, they're wildly inefficient and get exponentially more inefficie

There are absolutely LIDAR sats. Amateur astronomers occasionally get pictures of the beams sweeping around with high sensitivity cameras.

Everyone who likes space stuff should go watch it. They focus too much on marriage drama for my taste and they kinda jump the shark in the later seasons, but the first season is a love letter to a past that should have existed, and in a wa

I wish there was an actual community of people building open source cars. It exists for fucking airplanes but there's __nothing__ on the vehicle market. Pool some money, crash test a couple, get some shop in asia to make frames. Mak

I'm still talking about the tiny high quantity quads, they can't do anything if they don't have the range to get from the launch location to the target and stand off range is the oldest advantage in warfare. I guarantee the o

It's a bit more complicated than just production capacity of shitty quadcopters. The limiting factor with them isn't the airframe, you can make that out of literal tree branches and duct tape. The part that's important is t

I'm not sure that's historically accurate. Gaza was where a lot of Arabs fled during the Nakba and surrounding periods.

Yeah, again, you're not wrong. While I'd maybe call that position a bit idealistic, it is really weird that they didn't go after various people earlier. That said, they don't have their own carrier strike group so th
