Seattle's Link light rail, a relatively new thing, has been extremely successful. Ridership for the first few years well exceeded expectations. I'm not sure of the COVID impact. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L

That would be f^2 => m^2, wouldn't it? You divide by ... 35 to go from cubic feet to cubic meters. GP did that while also going from day to year, and the math checks out

+1 to importing from Goodreads (and, also, from my Amazon digital content list aka kindle-purchased books). I'm happy to go through an export/import cycle for these, but starting from scratch on booqsi without a bootstrap sets th

You seem to have a lot of anger. You might want to consider letting some of it go - it's a heavy load. Speaking from experience.

It's orbiting L2, not at it. It will have basically constant sunshine, which is good - solar panels provide all its power. (no RTG)

You're in for a treat. Look up the "Decentralized Autonomous Organization", aka "the first big thing written on Ethereum, in which a huge amount of ETH was (predictably) immediately stolen". Thus leading to a fork

> I stopped after getting to 200 FTEs Where are you getting FTE? The specialties you reference (mixers, engineers) are not full-time employees of the artist. Not by a long shot. They are gig workers, basically.

Oh this explains it! I tried a Moonlander and really didn't jive with it, then tried a KinesiS Freestyle and love it. Upon reflection, it's the ortholinear layout that made the Moonlander so much less comfortable for me.

Huh. When remodeling my kitchen in 2016 the highest priced ovens all had crappy touchscreens. I had to "downgrade" from Miele to Bosch to get knobs.

I am constitutionally unable to proofread before sending, and conversely unable to _not_ proofread after sending. It's bizarre. I wish GMail's "delay send" feature had a much longer maximum time...

Let The Right One In! The original movie was so fantastic. I assume the American remake ... wasn't. Similar story with The Vanishing. (I'm an American, fwiw)

He mentioned it toward the end, but did not describe the solution. I'm thinking the counterweight on the other end would need to move a very precise distance in effectively zero time. EDIT: hmm, or a supplemental weight on the payload

I think many companies are largely dysfunctional, driving top performers away (or never hiring them in the first place) while keeping people who copy/paste and fumble toward "good enough for this sprint".
