To clarify: I want both. I only buy laptops with barrel jack and USB-C. The same with mini PCs. It is OK for travelling. But my portable USB-C monitors randomly switch off for power renegotiation! USB-C is not so great for stationary use. I

If you work as a contractor in EU, you absolutely need multiple clients. Single client sets many red flags in tax office, and should be avoided.

Not really. I can visit conferences, apply for new gigs, market research... There are limits, but if you are not greedy, it is perfectly fine. Bringing gf, renting cars, beach stay... would ruin it.

Those requests are still relatively OK. But Win11 has buildin keylogger, ads and all sort of nasty stuff. It can also be auto reinstalled to Windows 12 anytime. At this point it is basically a malware, and should be kept in sandboxed enviro

Technically I still live with my parents, but one of my clients requires me to maintain office 300km away. There is no trick, I asked at tax office if that would be OK.

Many programmers prefer hourly pay over proper employment. As contractor, I can put hardware, my rent, and leisure travel into expenses. Real taxation is 15% versus 45%. I can have multiple clients...

I seen some drones in Africa delivering small packages into remote villages, mostly medication. It is small RC airplane (not quad copter), dropping parashutes on an airfield. It replaced much bigger Cesnas. And drone delivery is quite succ

It is question of motivation. Motivation uses logical forebrain, best way is to take thinking out of equation. - marshmallow test is invalid, if kids do not trust adult. It would not work on kids from rough neighbourhood, who would get seco

Here is the quote you want: For this reason, the aircraft exterior coating, panels, seams, are inspected after each flight, to look for anything that might affect the jet's stealthiness, identifying any damage or scratches. Removing s

I wrote "extensive overhaul". I guess better wording would be "extensive inspection and coating overhaul". Far from "quick refuel/arm and launch" original post wrote. F-35 has internal bomb bays, and thos

I traced my source back to Sapolsky, so I guess you are right. But I still maintain my claim, health really matters for proper deep thinking.

Honestly, I would just prefer good S300 system. At Ukraine it covered sky for almost a year. Jet fighters for air superiority are obsolete.

Different stealth airplanes. Some documentaries that celebrate Raptor and F35 as technical marvel (highly complex). I have not really observed any maintenance difference or break throughout between F22 and F35. And nobody really provided an

What pessimism? I am talking about health, opportunities... Starting family today is very difficult, there is no easy and direct route.

Interesting observations, I would add my own: - during long game, chess grand masters have physiology comparable to marathon runner, while he runs. Deep thinking for several hours, takes huge load on body. All the logic and critical thinki

If F35 gets grounded again for some software error, or virtual helmet reality problem, that will be our only air defense :(

I get your point. But: - right now we have fighters from Sweden (not Soviet design obviously) - Soviet planes came with technical plans, we would be probably capable to fix them by our selves to huge extend. Ukraine maintained their Soviet

How about you just put your phone on silent, and leave it in backpack? I need phone for maps, accommodation booking etc.. But on hike battery lasts a week, because it is in airplane mode.

From what I know, we only have single military airport capable of supporting F-35. Fully loaded F35 needs 2.5 km of high quality concrete. It also needs extensive overhaul after every flight to maintain stealth coating. There is no "qu

Highway landing and take-off on its own is useless. F35 requires extensive machinery to maintain, in needs proper airport and hangars. It is not possible to operate it somewhere from forest! And vertical landing/takeoff can not suppor
