That's for the booster/Super Heavy right? This Starship is only the second stage of an even more ginormous rocket.

A right in itself costs nothing, to exercise a right is something else. If you've always had (some level of) privacy and that is (suddenly) taken away. With gun, you don't have one by default and getting one costs something. With

A FDM 3D printer is mechanically relatively simple; it's more akin to a 3D plotter: it's a vector thing. Household 2D printers do bitmaps. There's 3D bitmap printers as well, like the SLA resin printers and laser sintering. T

Trading bandwidth for compute. Reminds me of a section in Hofstadter's 'Godel, Escher, Bach' about there being knowledge in the signal vs. the receiver, or something akin to that.

I really liked OnShape for my latest woodworking project. Allows to make 2D drawing and assemblies etc, even animate joints. It's not open-source unfortunately though. Example: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/728

Just get started, really. Start small, make the same thing twice: one for learning, another with the lessons for the first. I will not claim to be a good woodworker, I recently made https://preview.redd.it/oyg8onja3ll51.jpg?

Same as face recognition in that regard. It's just that humans are evolved to do wetware-accelerated face recognition very well. And not hand palm recognition. But for computers its all the same

At what point does being incompetent turn malicious, if you are in a position of leadership? Choosing to continue ignoring a real problem you cannot handle is pretty bad. At least get some advice or allow competent people to take the wheel.

It's a bungalow so all ground level living (not just handy when you're old but apparently also when SO just delivered a baby) so the roof is also mostly flat. I've considered adding a vegetable garden on the roof too, or mayb

I'm also considering making a green roof. Apparently, since the plants (sedum/stonecrops and mosses) help cool the roof, the solar panels on top of it are a bit cooler too increasing their efficiency. It also helps retain some wat

Story colleagues told me once: requirements for a car's rear wind shield was that is had to withstand air pressures of 120km/h. But the car could not go in reverse that fast, so the requirement did not make sense and was loosened.
