Clearance is about being compromised. Do you think Musk would reveal state secrets in exchange for weed? Do you think he would exchange state secrets to avoid the public finding out he smokes weed? The agent who interviewed me said, "A

lego is funny, if you have a pile of red 'stuff' it's hard to pick out the 2x8. however, if you have a pile of 2x8s, it's really easy to pick out the red one. size/shape is far more useful.

i think kubevirt is being rolled in soon. It adds a VM type to the set of things k8s can manage. i'm not sure what's required inside the vm to play nice. I haven't used kubevirt at all. But it might be worth checking out.

I'd take it one step further and say think about a little office a floor or two above that coffee shop, across from an artist or a lawyer. There's something nice about a place for work and a place for home. It's nicer when th

> neural nets already are allowed in safety critical systems - humans. I’d really like to see a demonstration that human behavior is just neural nets. Sadly, I think that’s still an open question.

I thought “She is spherical, like a globe.” Was pretty funny. A lot of it depends on context. A guy trying to be intimidating, but realizing they’re out of their league.

"It predicted that Tarrant county, with 904 people per km², would support Clinton, while Zavala County, with 3.6 people per km², would support Trump. In fact, the reverse was true."

Yeah, maybe. I think it would be super corrosive to party politics. Cooperation is mandatory. It's just not possible to pass anything without reaching across the aisle. I'd assert that things that need to change would have broad s

I often wonder how many problems could have been avoided if we required 2/3 majority. Byzantine generals have to work together.

Sorta wacky they want to deliver mostly hot water by air rather than caffeine. Far smaller, lighter package would do wonders for flight time and reloading.

It can be a super helpful assistive tech. Also you can make selections before hand, and still secure the actual ballots. Tracking all printed, spoiled and cast ballots can be helpful. Also, you get to examine the actual ballot before castin

I like this system the best. You can also have another machine that fills out the paper ballots, which can be really helpful for people with disabilities. You still get the option to examine the filled out ballot before turning it in for co

I don’t know the op’s reason. I immediately thought of blood farmers https://www.wired.com/2011/06/red-market-excerpt/ But, uh, I’d hope this tech would help prevent that sort of thing.

There's a kind of funny warranty/liability split when you cant test the quality of your own lock. Locks are generally a let the buyer beware kinda proposition. It's up to me to decide if this lock is good enough to protect th

I think the point about how much space is needed for high density loading and unloading is excellent. if you're willing to slow down the main line in specific areas, you can use a lot more of the siding rail for loading. I have no doub

no, stops would have real roll on roll offs - you see them in actual train yards, it's hard to find a good picture. here's the general idea from a video game https://i.imgur.com/7gNHkNP.jpg ideally multiple cars c

I liked the belt idea until i read about bubble cars. have a zillion cars with room for 3 people that are constantly circulating around a track, with roll on roll offs all over the place. hit a button, next empty car rolls off and stops for

It's not hard to imagine using the hydrogen position as a state, rather than presence. if it's in the left cell, on, if it's in the right cell off. if you've got that then it's not hard to imagine, rather than one s

Me personally, I used to spend a lot of sleepless nights stressing out over something or another. Now I give myself an hour. I get up and work on the problem. I’m miserable the next day. But often my brain decides it wants sleep more than l

You’re in an interesting spot. You could generate your own power, since you don’t need to store it. I’d take a long look at how much power you need, and when 5 years of electric bills are more expensive than your own installation. Maybe nev
