Potential legal minefield, too. Take drone flying, for example. It requires that you maintain visual line of sight (most of the time, without special exceptions). But, as a drone flyer in a commercial setting, you frequently want to see thr

Can validate. Using Plywood, especially marine plywood is the right choice. It is much stronger.

Probably nothing - It seems mostly that people who cut gears in metal would not use paper templates. In wood, I've cut gears with my CNC Router, that works great for wood precision. In metal, I get a gear cutter set and cut them out of

rejoinder to the helmet point: if the speed is the same, and the places traveled are the same, the need for the helmet is the same.

I gotta say, I wonder at what the balance of any discoveries will actually be. I am not a doctor, but I wonder if Machine Learning will identify anything other than geographic clusters of patients? I suppose that it is possible that this ki

Alternative: slow afternoons? I mean, my routine usually has me start with tech/work at 6am, but I wrap up around 2:30 and put some hours outdoors or in my other hobbies. I think the important part is just not spending ALL DAY doing an

This is an excellent point. In my work, the interpretation error I see the most among people around be is to confuse significance with the magnitude of the predicted effect. I.e. if you use OLS to create a model, it is possible to have a st

Yeah, that basically is semantic. UBI would achieve the same thing, but, instead of negative tax, would just credit everyone and then alter the tax rates to achieve equilibrium. Personally, the improved efficiency from simply collapsing the

I am not an economist either, but it seems that there is a danger in assuming there will be an equilibrium. I think it is entirely possible that there won't be one. If there is an equilibrium, it may take a significant price shock to d

my wife focused on her instagram for her jewelry business for a while. it took about 1 day for her to realize that phone photos were totally inadequate for the quality she wanted to deliver. I'd be surprised if any pro instagrammers re

I didn't know that. I always assumed they were just compressed gas with a pinhole poked in them or something.

if you suspect you aren't the most sophisticated gambler, then maybe it doesn't pay? Honestly, sports betting is orders of magnitude less sophisticated than Wall Street, so you have a better chance of finding an edge that others h

You can get Bismuth and Aluminum type for some fonts. I've never used bismuth, but Aluminum was fine, it just lacked the heft. Speaking of lead poisoning though, A pet peeve of mine is when people upcycle old california job cases in th

Pretty much the same idea for those polymer plates. the differences is that the printers have a z axis to make 3d parts while Polymer plates specifically make parts of a fixed thickness.

This may be a naive question, but, how do we know that the mass we measure for a black hole is equivalent to the things that went into the black Hole? We can’t have any observational data on what went into them in aggregate - is it not poss

It kind of beggars belief that the law intended that. The question is, how to change it?

I don’t know, but I’d bet GTAW/TIG. But, if you are careful about ground placement you might be ok. Certainly you can’t just use the table ground

Safety. It’s light, and doesn’t store a lot of elastic energy, so when it does fail it doesn’t whip. That is a feature for winch lines and webbing bits for climbing. Usually with these new fibers, the applications are lightness, since for a

All the synthetic silk products I’ve ever seen are very susceptible to UV damage. Modern synthetic winch lines are synthetic silks, and while they are very strong, they need to be kept covered to ensure UV stability.

I'm not a developer, but am pretty technical. I've written some code, some scripts, etc. I use apple stuff specifically because I want the tradeoff of usability instead of pure openness. To me, computers are just like any tool - s

I think you are right - https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/11/how-many-americans-have-no-r... - so, I guess I should have said "some people" have capital.

Retirement savings, IRAs, and pensions tend to make many people minor owners of capital.

A cynical person might say that it is meant to work exactly like this. Killing off older companies seems likely to be a service to progress and the economy. (not to the employees, which is a reason why I'm not a genuine advocate of p

Nothing. As the saying goes, “get while the getting is good”. If I don’t take the cheap fare today, it doesn’t buy me anything in the long run anyway. Present dollars saved are a certainty, and if history repeats, there is a reasonable like

Off topic, but this is seemingly everything in management. So often, "Doing what feels right" can really pay off from a team/individual happiness POV. But, there is no "methodology" that could justify what I need to

If this were true, they would be easier to get done. Borrowing money to finance is fine, but a lot of these projects have to borrow a vet long way in the future, and the longer the term of the loan, the more interest rates eat into the real
