I don't totally buy the "Stop doing things you hate" advice. I've learned over the years that anything worth doing is going to walk you through the valley of drudgery at some point. Doing things well always includes as

On a company level in the market there are Service Level Agreements (with requisite adjustments in price) for this sort of thing. It's clear that the market assigns a value to different response times. Further, if there isn't an v

I agree. The real question then is do we have enough information about individuals in order to screen on a case by case basis, and what rubric should we use to determine who should be screened out.

Playing devils' advocate, should we not reserve the right to screen immigration based on the ideology of those entering? Would it be ok to, say, deny entry to a Neo-Nazi supremacist wanting to immigrate from Norway?

I don't think his patreon supporters would view their contributions as altruistic donations. They expect some output.

I think the radically unexpected outcome of the elections had a lot to do with it, which in this case happened to occur in the US.

I agree with the general thesis of the article, but I don't buy the cop out that things are the way they are because the creatives in the industry are white men. That wouldn't be an acceptable thing to say about (insert any other

A valid point. It's the case with most human endeavors that involve trying something new, I don't think it is unique to Elon's companies.

As I get older, I find more value in choosing the most energy-efficient (mentally speaking) solution. Sure, I can simply use willpower to avoid distraction, but if I put the phone out of reach, then I get to use that willpower on other thin

I don't think I'll take this seriously until Amazon stops gaming their own review system. For instance, if you take a look at Comcast's rating on Amazon the have 4 stars, but if you click in and look at the breakdown 85% of

Probably the same people who designed the NRO spy satellite mission patch: http://b-i.forbesimg.com/kashmirhill/files/2013/12/Satellite... If anything, they are both a little too on the money.

That's an excellent point that I have not heard before, thank you for this.

anything is possible :) How many total datapoints are you trying to represent at once, ballpark? My first instinct is that it would probably be most efficient to feed the data into Unreal and build the physical representation there VS impor

I started listening to some history podcasts in bed with my eyes closed. The podcast app I use (podcast addict) has a timer feature so I set it to 15 or 20 minutes and by the time the podcast stops I'm ready to sleep. I also know a lot

I don't think the plugin needs to directly support those features, as they are already in the engine natively. The engine supports generating meshes dynamically at runtime: https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Procedural_Mesh_

there's an experimental HTML5 feature so you could ostensibly embed it online.

It's particularly troubling because facebook is primarily about communicating with your own friends and acquaintances. Censoring public content is troubling, but removing content that is private and only available to people who took th

Agreed, I wasn't contending that they are used in an emergency context.

I think it is more a matter of manufacturers wanting to sell TV's sooner than a 5-10 year life cycle. To do that, you have to come up with new features to try to entice.

they also have pressure sensors in the tanks so the timing of pressure differences allowed them to determine that the tank came loose before it burst.

It is possible to damage the rocket and systems when mating the payload in the faring, which would not become apparent without further testing and somewhat negates the purpose of this test itself.

Yeah SRB's don't really have an off switch unfortunately.

That doesn't mitigate the danger really.

Superficially maybe, but you want to send zero weight you don't need into orbit so it makes sense to build to the exact mission profile vs trying for a generalized solution.

To be clear, I'm not saying this example is good . (Unless you particularly enjoy absurdism).
