That doesn't address all the nightmarish issues of traveling at 600-700 MPH through pressurized air. Riding the pressure peak at exactly the speed of sound makes a lot more sense.

We have much bigger problems than not as many humans being born (assuming the study is correct).

Hawaii didn't have mosquitoes until they were brought with ships. The ecosystem did just fine without them.

I'm more surprised that more billionaires don't build crazy monuments of themselves or just some crazy ones with their name on it.

"Up to" being the legal loophole. It means it can actually be less effective than a placebo.

That's not true. In Switzerland there's a two year line of people waiting to renounce their US citizenships, because they get double taxed.

What sort of thing? Tons of data with references? Or are we only allowed positive views about one of the most violent dogmas in the world?

That's an argument from ignorance fallacy. "I can't imagine how that (potential) backdoor can be abused, therefore it doesn't exist". Random generators controlled by a third party are ABSOLUTELY a problem for any cr

Aerographite is NOT lighter than air. What they mean is that a vacuum-filled cubic cm of aerographite is lighter than a cubic cm of air. A piece of that material will NOT float up on its own, because it's heavier than air.

What do you mean by "such country"? Russia is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Rich and powerful can steal, murder, imprison opposition, rape with no repercussions. Its science is in the toilet and is getting invade

Storage is already pretty cheap, but it's a pain in the ass to manage, because you need to handle backups and make sure they are not in one spot, so a fire won't destroy 50 years of your photos. That's why cloud services and

ASICs are very power efficient. Plus the system is self-correcting. Mining becomes unprofitable, people quit, complexity drops enough, mining becomes profitable.

Many people didn't need a PC, but didn't have an alternative (tablet, smartphone). The market is being corrected. PCs are not dying. I can't imagine any my coworkers doing their work on a tablet, except maybe executives who b

It's recurring income that requires zero effort once it's running. $2400 every few weeks is enough to live comfortably in many places in the world.

OVH actually does NOT have very similar prices. Hetzner is by far the cheapest dedicated hosting that I know of.

I haven't been to a movie theater in years. I think I will go this time just to tell the religious assholes "go fuck yourself". Sorry for the language.

Prices are still ridiculous. Compare it with something like Hetzner: https://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produkte_rootserver/ex4 https://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produkte_rootserver&#

Ok, so that's not $20K per year. That's $20K per certain number of man-days.

You just described a per project contract that's supposed to be delivered in under a year. There's nothing in your description that says you're supposed to work for the whole year. You can finish it in one day.
237.
by rorrr2 13y ago
So how does that work? They hire you for a year, pay you 20K, and how many hours/week do they expect to get (is that in the contract)? I do consulting myself, and I've never heard of such a strange arrangement.
238.
by rorrr2 13y ago
I don't understand why you call it $20K/year. Isn't it $20K/project? $20K/year is lower than what most programmer interns/entry make these days.

Only if they have the same family/friends situation. If you're white, you're more likely to have a father present, and not a single mother struggling with two jobs.
