Maybe I should rephrase and emphasize that I think this is interesting not necessarily immediately practical. From what I understand about rail guns, they're not even practical yet to deploy for military ground to ground purposes, let

I think the interesting use case would be to put things into space for a lot less money. Imagine putting one or many of those new Space X internet satellites into a rail gun that goes straight up. It doesn't need to go all the way into

I also believe another option, where we can throw massive amounts of money at the problem, is to completely fix our transportation system. If you have been to any major city in Asia, they have WAYYY more people and are able to commute from

I think it's more than a back up. A lot of the problems, like the original poster pointed out, to survive on mars, are solutions that'll greatly benefit us on earth. You cannot name one endeavor to get to Mars that doesn't ha

I also have this problem. Here are some tips I've found useful. -- When possible, do things that you're passionate about. Develop your passions and try to work within those constraints. -- Have a single monitor -- Create a TODO li

I agree that the Fortune 500 are probably the primary clients of these consulting companies. I haven't dug into the problem, but I'm also willing to guess that FAANG doesn't really care about these services as much as the les

The real issue is that a couple of companies are abusing the system. None of them are FAANG. Look at the data here: https://h1bdata.info/topcompanies.php Don't be alarmed if you don't recognize a good portion of t

This is a national problem (ie. anyone in the US can be homeless anywhere), and yet it's trying to be solved at a city level. Logistically that is impossible and makes no sense. As for why there are so many young people homeless in SF,

No. Let me put it this way. Strategically from a bunch of directions. Even if they were making 10x the money. They would still be reporting the same steady losses.

Let me let you in on a little secret. Slack makes TONS of money. Take that as a truth and then think about why they're still reporting they're losing money..

I think you should test what works best for your body. I actually don't do strict keto, I have a lot of protein in my meals, way more than I should if I were on keto alone. But I've tried balanced, low fat, high fat, etc. And I ha

Yeah I did that before. But I'm super lazy, so I found that buying a bunch of hard boiled eggs pre-packed into packets of 2 by Costco was just that little bit easier.

I'm on a low carb diet for both losing weight and better budget. I've tried so many things over the years, but having a consistent routine every day seems to be the easiest for me to follow. I've found that having a "yes

The problem is that you don't want to see a lot of the other goals very often, you want to stay focused on what you want to do, so a primary TODO is a great way to do that. I also find that the speed to setting your TODOs matters a lot

Me too! At least with the single TODO.txt. Here are some other tips: -- I sync my TODO.txt with Google Drive so when I switch computers, or I want to check on my phone it's sync'd. -- I don't do weekly or monthly goals, but I

"In June 2015, the Japanese government released an energy proposal that includes the revival of nuclear power to account for Japan's energy needs. The proposal calls for an increase of about 20% in nuclear energy by 2030.[2] This

This is only partially true on iOS. It doesn't take into account when you're using the phone, then it just lets everything through. Which is SUPPERRRRR annoying.
