Sounds like the recent changes star citizen made via the entity component update scheduler

Does this have implications for dark matter? The whole angle there is explaining “missing mass” right?

LevelCap has done some great star citizen videos recently, just him and some friends playing the game. If you're interested in the current state check out his channel: https://youtu.be/ONYFCKdrPLs

The humidity in London is currently 69%. Your indoor humidity should never exceed 60%, and you should target 40%-45%. If you have no way to control this then you are essentially running a mold incubator. From my travels around western europ

The cost increase is marginal, but the benefits are enormous. Modern heat pumps work well down to -20F. If it’s that cold I don’t want to live there.

Waste heat from AC is nothing compared to the ~1.3kw per square meter of solar irradiance. Side note: We really need better solar panels!

Solar panels + heat pump (an AC that can cool or heat your home) completely solves this problem. We have simple solutions to this issue, the only thing to do is make it more affordable.

This is the last thing you want to do. By creating a low pressure zone in your home humid outside air will seep in through every crack, gap, and uncaulked seam in your house. Such a system is basically a mold incubator. The correct method i

I’m not aware of any land/states with no property tax. Have a link?

Never? Of course not. But they do a much better job. I don't know the current stats, but I recall hearing something like 70% of china's ruling party have engineering degrees. Whereas the overwhelming majority of ours are lawyers.

Engineers love buffers though, and building fault-tolerant systems.

On the other hand DAI fluctuates between 0.999 and 1.001 all the time. Is it not "stable". I am no fan of tether, but small fluctuations like this have always been normal for "stable coins".

I'm no "sovereign citizen", and occasionally enjoy compilations on youtube of them getting owned in front of a judge (makes for a good laugh). I do however find some sympathy with _one_ of their arguments, where they argue th

We let the MBAs and PMs optimize every ounce of redundancy away for “efficiency” and “share price”. Now a small ripple becomes a tidal wave, and we all pay the price for not letting the engineers run the show

Yes, which is why this is a bad idea.

The recent 5th circuit decision, once it makes to go the Supreme Court, is going to change a lot in this regard.

>mandate was about to expire This isn’t relevant since they’d extended it many times. The whole “it’s about to expire!” thing was by design.

A 10MV DC national transmission system would make a lot of sense.

Netflix lost my sub when they removed stargate way back in the day. That started my path down the NAS/PLEX rabbit hole, and 40TB later I don’t regret a thing.

Yep, and methalox will be solar powered in the not too distant future. We have the tech we just need to build the fuel farms

I’ll talk about it. Methalox engines will be solar powered within 5-10 years. Kerolox is dying off in that time frame.

The way the app works though with the default setup leaves it unlocked/ready to go until you walk a considerable distance away. I could see thieves eventually figuring that out.

DAI would like a word.

The good ones shouldn't be able to. What is up with HN posting about these nonsense "stablecoins" that are seemingly named to confuse people? USDT (tether) vs UST (terra), and now DAI vs the DEI. DAI kept its peg from ETH $14
