FYI - Massachusetts has historically had a Democratic legislature and Republican Governor, so it's not really a "one party state", though I think your point still stands. In fact, we had a republican senator not too long ago

I've been using blender to prototype an addition to my house. It was surprisingly easy to pick up and I'm frankly astounded by the polish and capabilities of this tool. It's possibly the most complete and professional open so

That's not a great analogy, you can't redeem currency at a bank. My understanding is that stable coins are stable because they claim to be backed 1:1 by some other currency. If they are not actually doing that, then thats a fraudu

There are many good suggestions here, though I haven't seen anyone consider a tradition binary model. Here's what I would do, knowing very little about the particulars of the options that start-ups offer vs. standard options. 1. D

> interaction implies mass (no?) Not necessarily. Photons, for example, are massless. But you're still pretty much correct. Information cannot travel faster than C. Though there may be some special cases that I'm not too famili

Not sure that's quite a fair comparison, because you'll need quite a bit more hardware to use the GTX 1060, and I think that the Turing board + Jetson setup would be all-inclusive (except a power supply and chassis, I suppose)?

Agreed. I think highly contextualized recommendations are the most helpful. As another example, I frequently find the "often purchased together" section to be very helpful. That might be the only recommendation system that I'

Yeah, that's certainly a good point. The analogy with cars is a bit tricky though as we have well defined rules that help us pack them very closely together on the surface. For example: roads, lanes, controlled intersections. Those thi

Yeah, that occurred to me as well, though I don't know much about how the satellites communicate with eachother. I imagine each constellation would need its own band, but not sure how wide it needs to be? Intra-constellation communicat

I'm pretty excited about this laptop, but that review does list some specific complaints. Here's a couple lines from the conclusion of the review: > The Framework laptop offers an awkward port selection to make way for its expa

A bit of a tangent, but is there any information about how many constellations are physically possible? Obviously there's a lot of space in LEO, but it's still limited. Given that each provider would need their own very dense cons

We effectively use them as serializers, and also as a way to allow users to interact with the models in a controlled manner. In our app, django essentially sits between a compute cluster and a front end. The pydantic objects are used to def

We've had a similar experience using pydantic. We integrated it quite tightly with a django project and it's been awesome.

You'll probably get tons of people pitching their favorite tech, but I was recently doing the same thing and Redux just wasn't clicking for me. I think MobX is way more intuitive and it's also quite stable. Worth taking a loo

Are you sure? This is my first time really reading a legal opinion, but this line at the end of the first paragraph seems pretty clear cut: "...the Federal Circuit invalidated the APJs’ tenure protections, making them removable

The "whataboutism" argument doesn't refute the initial claim. It's simply changing the subject and is effectively surrendering the point.

I don't believe this is the case, I think you may be confusing the effects of time dilation and redshift.

This is a good visualization, I think. Interesting that they include taxes here, though, as that can vary quite a bit by individual circumstance, and most long-term retail investing is probably done in tax-advantaged accounts like 401ks. Al

Well, actually the Fed is responsible for the money supply, and is pretty independent from the rest of the government (as much as it can be these days, anyway). So the claim that the government can just print money to pay for anything they

Not to be too pedantic, but the $200B is Bezos, not Buffett. Regardless, taxing the weathy can feed poor children by literally funding programs like food stamps. The covid payments are effectively unfunded, and taxes are the primary sourc

Hmm, where do you see that information? I admittedly am not reading the entire article, but this section seems to be in agreement with my original comment. In any case, I'm not sure why we should be excluding energy used for heating fr

I don't think that's quite a fair comparison. The US Dollar and Gold coexist just fine. A new store of wealth doesn't threaten the US's economic dominance. Though this is colored by my own opinion that Bitcoin is not and

I'm not sure on the specific timing but price gouging during an emergency is illegal, so there's one other reason why they didn't do it.

Yes, that's a good point. We should also consider that a lot of the interest rates are negative in real terms.
