I think you should not be redefining what words mean to make your argument. Wealthy means to have wealth. Wealth is the abundance of financial assets. Income can become wealth if saved/invested, but it is not wealth. There are numerous

If it is anything like my kids school, the maintenance would be exactly the same regardless of the OS. The students are instructed to keep everything in their synced drive, and they reimage machines at the drop of a hat.

Love that book. Sled Driver is also worth checking out. It focuses on things from the pilots perspective, but from memory the pilots had to have a fairly intimate understanding of their vehicles, so a lot of discussion of the mechanics&#x2F

The article is about someone who was arrested for social media posts made years before arriving in the country. "Keeping it in your pants for the week or two while you are there" does not cut it.

I haven't looked at what your yaml is looking like, but I encourage you to consider having sensible defaults for most resource types (including their existence), and provide a way for Devs to go off the rails if they need to. Sensible

Perhaps the issue is not the writing of the YAML, but the need to have a good understanding of all the resources/primatives in order to get things glued together. Many application developers just want to focus on their application, and

The comment I was responding to was specifically talking about oil and gas futures. Not general stock prices, or which projects are started. My non-expert understanding is that Futures are a specific financial instrument with set expiry dat

I understand what they are saying. I am saying that the timeframe between a breakthrough in fusion, and it having a measurable effect on energy usage is so large that "money" will not reflect it with immediate and large moves in t

by zizee 5y ago
This doesn't sound right to me. How many years out do oil/gas futures project? Even if someone from the future arrived today with blueprints of a perfect fusion power plant design, it would take many years to build up enough fusio

I find Whittakers (from NZ) to be a great alternative. Ever since Australian Cadbury's changed their recipe, it seems to give me a "burning" sensation. Whittakers tastes like a decent supermarket chocolate used to taste like.

Interesting. This might be explained by the switch from old growth to new growth^. Older trees would be larger, and have more core to work with (I think knots are mostly from the outer layers of the tree). ^ this is pure speculation

I'm really curious to know why, in our hyper-industrialized world of today, is lumber so expensive when compared to yesteryear? Is it cost of land on which it grows? Is it increased demand because of population growth? Increased demand

Another way to look at it is that educational systems are setup to favour girls over boys. Typically when we see outcome differences between two groups in a system, most people will blame the system... unless they think it's good/

I think your missing the point I am trying to make. Hint: It's not for my gratification, I am not asking people to show sympathy. Ironically, you accuse people of "strawmanning", and then proceed do the same to me. Perhaps ta

Sure thing, I get that. There are around 1500 people listed as being involved in the making of the matrix resurrections. That is a lot of people. But I'd bet that the vast majority of them did not work on it full time, for over 6 month

Well, the total cost was reported as $190 million, so after the 1000 people get 100k, there is still 90mil to account for... I'm probably not up with the times, but I don't really see many actors in that film that would be classed

Sure, perhaps it can be justified by the greater good, but that should not preclude feeling sorry for the animal in question.

I have always assumed those numbers are fudged, and included marketing. I don't really know much about the industry, or what it take to make a film like this, but $100m is enough to pay 1000 people 100k. Did this film take that many pe

Not sure where I read it, but someone was saying that whilst the numbers don't work for the ramjet, the magnetic funnel could still be useful in slowing a craft on its approach to another solar system. Does this study rule that our as
