I just want to say, as someone who was in the military at a point in time, if a private (lowest rank) did anything like this, they'd be burned at the stake. Actually if most officers did this the same would happen.

If you like hub dynamos, give hub gears a try. My electric bike has nexus 7 hub gears. It's fantastic. There's essentially no maintenance.

And that's kind of the dream TBH. Every private dollar that goes into housing is a dollar taken away from people who could be building businesses themselves or investing. Having cheap, plentiful housing provides a base that people can

They are more alike as an investor class than different because of party affiliation. At the end of the day they all like being rich more than anything else.

In Australia and Britain if the PM acts this wildly, the party steps in and replaces them. They call them party room coups, and everyone gets shitty when it happens, but they protect the status quo pretty well. It happened to 4 Australian P

The US treatment of Ukraine is having a massive impact on how everyone thinks about security. All the US had to do was supply it's old weapons to Ukraine whilst replenishing it's stock (creating jobs in America) and things would h

There is a great thread on r/army where people are listing out all the Military careers destroyed by minor mistakes that pale in comparison to this.

Just because doctors have internalized the propaganda that they need to work that hard doesn't make it true or correct. People who take senior roles are paid for the things they are accountable for. They don't have to do 80 hours

BYD just announced they can do full charges in 10 mins. The future is not Tesla.

For forks fine. But military equipment breaks all the time. And the maintenance requirements on things like jets are 4:1 or greater. So having a jet down because a part is missing and not able to be supplied is a real issue.

For retail players its sunk cost fallacy. For everyone else they are trying to manage their exit.

I just spin up a ubuntu server vm and use it as my dev machine. VScode remote is pretty solid these days.

Well it's either that or the tin foil hat people will say they just rented the OG soundstage. Nvidia did a great presentation about the lighting for the original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syVP6zDZN7I

I generally agree, young people respond well to responsibility. And whilst it doesn't help me day to day, knowing how the make dovetail joints is one of the things I cherish most from year 10.

I loved world building with the valve map tools. It was fantastic. Almost as much fun as the game itself.

I know that everyone crosses all altitudes during landing. But why don't ATC / FAA stratify aircraft type and use by altitude. Like all commercial traffic is put in even thousands altitudes. And the Military / EMS gets the o

The biggest sin IMO is the language devs who decide to "bring in types" to previously untyped langs. Dropped spaghetti everywhere.

Before anything else happens, the world will fall of it's axis from the irony of this. These are the sort of litigious death throws that the threatened orthodoxy throw out when they smell their own blood in the water. A Trillion dollar

I think that the honorable thing in those companies is for a CEO to demand seppuku from a significant portion of the c-suite. At least as a form of solidarity with the workers put to the sword.

You should be going into airplane mode at an isolated time before you get to the protest so you don't have a pattern of 10 friends all of a sudden dropping off the network together. Infact it's probably not the best idea to protes

Laws should be written by people, for people. Intertwining technology is not a good idea. Having a legal system so complex it requires enormous wealth to access is already problematic enough.

So laws don't matter now. That's a great trend to start on day 1.

One way to think about social media is like a weapon. For the history of social media the US consumer was using a weapon that the US government had a way of exercising control over because Facebook, IG etc all existed as product of America.
