I've been on psychiatric medication. Lexapro "worked" but I quit taking it because I realized it merely made me complacent. I'd occasionally look around at my surroundings and see how they were not changing for the bette

No, you're right, NTFS as implemented in the Windows kernel is very slow. But for most work it's decent enough if you have a properly set up build system. The issue for some large projects is the build system is not set up well.

How do you know that ignoring your previous feelings is good? Prozac likely did not solve your problem, it just made you ignore it.

C++ builds are only bad when you use too many templates, which Chrome famously does. If you use MSVC you get some additional speedup as well because it tries to avoid disk IO. I would say Qt on Windows is probably a worse idea than just usi

If ring singularities exist then smushing two together at right angles could fling singularity droplets out.

> This makes direct comparisons to early-20th-century airships difficult, This is exactly my point. It's unwise to assume they are worse . If anything, to a first estimation, you can have the passenger cabin disconnect and glide to

Have you compared those to contemporary plane crashes? Even today plane crashes are quite bad.

That he completed the programs beforehand is what makes it surprising.

You're trying to be witty but the crashing airframe of a lighter than air craft is very likely to do less damage mainly due to its slower speed and the fact most flammable material escapes upwards. Have you thought through this at all?

The burning plume escapes upward. It's probably safer than aviation fuel.

The idea is that this gets you above the densest atmosphere and that could save you fuel. I used to think this, but if you run the numbers it doesn't work out.

There is no legal requirement to close the baseband off. They tried to close off routers in the same way and got pushback.

Airships would be good for freight. Far less carbon footprint than airplanes.

It's not an antenna since it doesn't release the signal, it's a waveguide. Instead of vaccuum propogating EM fields it's metal.

The same reason the ACLU challenges the no-fly list also serves to challenge driver's licenses, and actually exposes that we are accepting very strong prior restraint on the right to travel. You can keep people from driving, but not pr

The nontechnical costs are made up FUD. If you cut that out then it is a better solution, and considering the FUD is ridiculous. It's better to properly educate people.

It is the first step (without going into nuclear physics) in calculating how much energy is released. You take the enthalpy of the fission reaction, joules per gram input, and that dictates everything after. In fission reactions you get (ii

The same amount of extractive and processing work releases more energy. It doesn't mean it has to be dangerous. And by what logic? I never mentioned civilian use of anything, just that nuclear is more efficient.

No idea if it will be cost effective? Are you insane? The enthalpy of nuclear fission is an order of magnitude, at least, over chemical fuels. It's all red tape. There's not technical challenges in old designs. New designs are bet

We could still just build those designs and get a ROI orders of magnitude better than other expenses. Don't be silly.

You say gas should go up, but how are they going to pay that cost? This is what the yellow jacket protests where about. Relatively well off Parisians dictating how the rest of the country should work.

I think the idea in general is interesting for future developments. A lot of physical principles are either derived from or produce very accurate measurements done with simple hardware. If timebases can go in that direction it will make a l

I've been in physical/remote meeting splits. It's not really that hard. The trick is having everyone sign into the meeting with their own PC.

I agree. We are where we are because there is a trend of appointing federal judges that grant the federal government more power. A lot of rulings at the federal level are morally bankrupt, easiest to see in the ones regarding the interstate
