That's what happens when you tie people's bonuses directly to how many plains they push out the door. You optimize for production quantity at the cost of everything else.

But what is taking advantage of them? If someone owns a house outright, isn't charging any rent charging more than you need to? At that point, they're not contributing anything. I agree that's not what most people are talking about, but I don't see how it's categorically different.

But you would be the one getting ownership from the mortgage, so I'd think charging less than the share of the mortgage would be fair. But that ratio depends on your and their particular time value of money, which is hard to pin down. And once you paid off the house, the rent should go to zero?

If you rent to house mates, is that stealing? Do you need to have joint ownership with everyone?

For the first one, were to looking towards Cape Canaveral? Sounds kinda like a falcon 9 booster return to launch sight. The sun will illuminate the rocket stage as it gets higher.

You can buy an airline with that sort of money, not just a few fights.

What does Taylor spend money on? Since she's still a billionaire I'm guessing she doesn't give it all to charity.

Does your business care about information security? There might be an argument there.

Agree, and just viewing PDFs has much less clutter around the outside than Adobe.

Is there an inflation adjusted version of this? I'm wondering if anyone even in the gilded age got this wealthy.

We need a shittytechicals community

 

Ian Davis has been working since he lost his fingers to design and build a mechanical hand. He's now looking for other amputees to help him test the design. It's a really cool project, I love following his progress!

 

Tin in solder or some other meals can form spiky crystals when under stress. These whiskers can form short circuits if not properly insulated or not alloyed with other metals.

Stunning short film. Seems scarily plausible, we won't lose control of AI, the people in change just won't care enough to control it.

Just make sure to return them when you're done! Maybe even add a new one if you find one.

The one I used was very nice. Has a nice heft all the way down, and was very straight.

XiaoHao2 took these pics and videos from across the China boarder with a dgi drone in 2020. They uploaded just recently. Here's some more pics

 

OnStar reports location and speed data to the car manufacturer. Sometimes they will sell this data to insurance companies to raise your premium, as several news stores pointed out a few weeks ago. I couldn't really find an advantage to OnStar, (I have my phone to call emergency services) so I disabled it by pulling it's fuse.

For my 2019 bolt, it's f31 in the instrument panel fuse box, just down and to the left of the steering wheel. The fuse box cover comes off when you pull it hard from the bottom.

I was able to find which fuse went to OnStar in the owners manual and labeled on the inside of the fuse box cover. You should be able to find it for your model car there too if it uses OnStar.

I did have the casualty of my speaker for calls and texts. I'm not able to use it right now. I'll see if I can dig in and reconnect it somehow, but we'll see.

Who knows that other into they're snitching back to GM, or what they could do in the future, so I recommend disconnecting it. Good luck!

 

Folds down to fit inside a 1kg filament box. Upsidedown let's the complicated moving bits be in the base where there's less vibration. Krylan3D originally designed this to easily take in a backpack back and forth from college, but is now hired and working on designing other 3d printers. So the community has made improvements and made it easier to make yourself. Parts cost about $550.

 

As you reduce the amount of carbon emissions (the y axis) the methods to keep reducing carbon cost more (the x axis.)

This great graph came to my attention from this video from vlogbrothers. It also has some good explanations of what it means.

Note that carbon capture doesn't really make sense till you've exhausted all the other emission minimizing methods.

Ancalagon the Black, the absolutely gargantuan dragon from the first age of middle earth!

This fantastic artwork is by Ruben de Vela. I think the sense of scale and immense power are remarkable.

But Earendil came, shining with white flame, and about Vingilot were gathered all the great birds of heaven and Thorondor was their captain, and there was battle in the air all the day and through a dark night of doubt. Before the rising of the sun Earendil slew Ancalagon the Black, the mightiest of the dragon-host, and cast him from the sky; and he fell upon the towers of Thangorodrim, and they were broken in his ruin. The Simarilian chapter 24

 

It can't be that hard, it's only two questions!

Which one would you choose? (external-content.duckduckgo.com)
 

A lightsaber stick or sword stick would also be an acceptable choice
