Is that 10:1 ratio post or pre-digital films? Because in my experience as a young PA film cameras didn't have live viewfinders. Film was maybe 2:1 or 3:1 because you didn't have unlimited film and unlimited film processing budget.

If voting is a right and voting requires ID then it should be on the government to cover the costs of providing that burden.

I bought an old Sparcstation at university auction. After gaining access found one of my professor's account. It was his workstation. Had a chuckle, wiped it, and installed FreeBSD.

I will say that calling my family from the middle of the Atlantic Ocean on Thanksgiving is what I consider the hardest flex so far in my life. There are large swaths of this planet where internet and phone service simply does not exist and

I'll wait for the medical profession to tell me the cure for a major ailment is a windowless, tightly enclosed space with limited circulation.

Well, TIL. And here I was thinking those facilities are popular with truckers because they have the cheapest diesel/petrol.

Conservatives != conservative politicians != conservative donors. UBI is incredibly popular amongst conservatives, except for 2 particular groups: conservative pols and their rich conservative donors.

Watch is not solved and most of our sea rescue services rely on cargo ship crew as first responders. Rescue planes don't have the range for recovery. Planes can't land in blue water. So it comes down to the small crew keeping a sh

It's closer to $75-85 since gas prices have gone up. But at $2200/year for fuel still cheaper than a Tesla payment.

AIS has a 50ms window to transmit data on just 2 channels(69,70). Not much of a problem when there are only a few ships in a few miles radius. But in a congested harbor transmitters may never get that window in a timely manner. I've ex

Cargo ships are largely autonomous once underway. They have a small crew of 8-12 members who largely do maintenance, watch, and cook. Then, near shore it's all hands as they prepare the ship for docking.

My ICE car is $50-$70 to fill the tank (26gal/100l) from empty to full. And gets me 450-500 miles. So I'm a tad bit jealous, just not enough to take on a car payment.

This is a really cool project and as a hacker of the Raspberry Pi since v1b I love to see it. Clicking on the Monterail about page I really do appreciate when companies list their teams. It's that small bit of credit that I feel goes a

All their clients paid for it, does it really matter? Clients aren't concerned with what the consultants does with the money once the invoice is paid. Could you imagine your employer/client involved with your own life like that? &

Well, once you have what you need I doubt they're doing any post-op care. So if the victim dies an hour later or a few months later it's still murder.

I'm curious what the repercussions of stating your salary to the wrong person is? I used to be embarrassed because I thought others were making more than me based on their purchases.
