This looks pretty great, I'll play with it. Can you explain this from the Readme? Unfortunately, it's difficult to compute the joint formed at the boundaries of these combined shapes, so sufficient texturing is needed on the orig

Wait, what? He as in the VC author cancelled his own order? Oh man. I read it as Elon instructed Tesla to cancel his order. Edit: I think I was right. Here's the direct quote from first paragraph: I also hear that you are not comforta

I actually think that's rather magnificent. Mr Whiny can't have his toy anymore. Yeah it's bad PR, probably, but I can't be the only one who thinks these rude blog posts directed at well-known strangers saying variations

Well, we've optimized for yield (=> cost) exclusively. Taste and nutritional value are other axes. In a way you're saying the same thing as the article - that it's a shame to focus only on yield. To answer your question, I

Well this is prima facie bad, but actually we're not in such a terrible spot as a society: the bulk of supermarket chicken and beef might be corn-fed, bland, watery mush these days, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than it ever us

My question was based on the opposite actually: I had an assumption that US property tax would be higher, building code more strict, and zoning laws less permissive. I just felt like buying a gigantic old school and living in it would be a

This looks great, and their kids will look back and feel very lucky to have grown up here. As a US resident, I can't help but wonder whether: - Property taxes (it's huge ) - Building code - Zoning Would prevent something like tha

I want to make sure it's understood that I was recommending OP use the concept of tying a severance payment to signature of a legally binding document that serves the company's interest, not that non-disparagement or NDA were the

In the firm I work for, we deal with much secret information and many paranoid clients. Generally when someone is terminated we give them a severance contingent on signature of a pretty ironclad non-disparagement letter and a further reinfo

Retaining him - rewarding him, even - in contravention of company policy seems to create a great deal of liability for the firm if there is any PII leakage. "My client's personal data was stolen from your firm, and we found that y

Not disagreeing with your point, but this is actually a screenshot of the Mac version of Outlook :)

Globally yes, locally no. It is not reasonable to discount the fears of a to-be-displaced factory worker in Michigan because their loss is offset by new service industry jobs in New York, even though the net economic effect may be positive.

These are good, very good, though I too was expecting "cell pixel" art. I bought a print of Miroku Waterfall because I love the colors and my daughter loves waterfalls. "Cherry Blossoms" killed Excel 2016 on a brand new

I took it as a joke about questioning the left-behind-at-home spouse's fidelity, quite a good one too.

I've tried using Voice Memos when inspiration strikes, but it's a tiny bit fiddly. I bought a little Tascam recorder which makes excellent recordings and is super easy to use, but getting files of it is not trivial and I don'

I don't know about every country, but the article lists some important reasons for Ghana to have the capability, namely combatting illegal mining and assistance with disaster relief. At the moment Ghana is reliant on foreign satellit

I like it. Something I see in music tech in particular is a growing number of hardware controllers interacting with specialized software; the marriage is really powerful and makes for a very pleasant and productive experience. Native Instru

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this contemplation of what desktop UIs might look like in 3-5 years. Excellent work. There are some very good ideas in here, notably the pop-up circular 'swipe' menu of contextual actions (near the bot

Very pretty, and surprisingly relaxing, but it could use some more thought: Spring thunderstorm scene needs cumulonimbus clouds. Winter needs snow (or change the icon). The clouds depicted in the summer scene don't (usually) produce ra

For the civilian stuff, the root causes of that insane widget cost are the cost of compliance with aviation regulations and the relatively small market.

As exciting as this possibility is, I'm more interested in what I'll learn from the refutal which I'm hoping someone who understands this stuff will write here soon.

His concern is less about global escalation to some nuke++ level of WMD, but more around rogue states or doomsday cults getting access to control systems for asteroid deflection defenses. It isn't implausible: technologically sophistic

May be a cultural aspect. A British pub grub staple is "Fish and Chips." In the kind of food-oriented gastropub the parent comment is alluding to, you'd see an explicit reference to the species, possibly even its provenance.

Incomplete thinking. What about land-based fuel handling - creation, storage, transport, delivery? What about waste processing? The attack surface isn't just the ship.

It'll be more acceptable to do that once there's a majority of electric or hydrogen cars on the roads. Otherwise those enclosed roads are air handling nightmares.

This is a bad article really. After reading it I'm none the wiser as to what 'hyperreality' and 'simulacra' actually mean in this context. I can make guesses, but the author doesn't explain his central concepts
