This should be a longer blog post; especially the turnaround is interesting.

If you take this to the extreme, then Tesla should not be allowed to only sell very expensive cars... New technology often is adopted by the wealthy, the price goes down and then everyone can be served. The installation costs might go down over time by serving the ppl that are willing to pay so they can serve the others as well.

This regulation is counterproductive, the result is that no one gets fiber.

In the Netherlands x% of a community had to sign up before they would roll out the system (to make sure that the ISP could recoup their costs). Am wondering if they plan to implement a similar system.

On a sidenote: the largest telco dropped the price A LOT to compete with the FTTH provider but this pissed ppl off because they knew they had been ripped off for several years.

Could do some A/B testing on your own pics + description to see what works best.

Anyone that can create a noob proof walkthrough to get this thing running? Thanks.

Guess it depends on your location. In Belgium they pay quite a lot to compete with the private sector. In Germany not so much...

1 ) college town / sharing flat 2 ) short period: live in your office building

Metanarratives. Life might be one big metanarrative (ie people think their life is unique but we repeat a lot of stuff other people do).

Wow, impressive!

Had pain in my arm as well in the past (it was not very severe but annoying). Using a mouse with a trackball solved the issue for me.

It becoms a 'Modern forms of slavedom'... You are enslaved by the ppl on welfare. Deal with it.

There are a lot of at random rules. Why do you need >100 senators when they barely meet and have a lot of workers? Why do you need a lot of people in the board of directors of gov co's when they never make any remark? Sometimes they even get paid if they do not show up!

Ariane 6 is a joke. First launch in 2020, billion dollar budget. Compare this with what SpaceX did. Are you kidding me? This should have been more ambitious.

Airbus wanted to use SpaceX but the French flipped out so they have to stick with Ariane.

I am sure they did the math but at first I thought that landing legs would be unnecessary if you have a system that 'catches' the rocket on the ground. Since the rocket can hover, it would be possible to grab the rocket with a structure/claw.

The weight of the legs is probably quite low so this might have been the easiest solution.

I don't get why they don't launch if there is a boat. If there is someone with a death wish, that is his problem. Second time in a few months they have to scrub for a boat. Idiots should pay a lot of money.

Still quite vague... 2016 launch. On the plus side, several materials are discussed (even metal).

Or discussing QE and stocks ad infinitum.

R is getting quite popular in the scientific community.

Other people getting mails from Apple saying people tried to reset your Apple ID? They tried several times just an hour ago (was not checking my mail)...

Great news, hope they can move forward!

Great. Guess the next step is to launch genetically modified mosquitoes that do not carry the disease and can replace the other ones.

Easyjet is also quite efficient. You have 2 enterances (front and back). You are designated to a specific enterance (based on your seat number). This already reduces the problem.

Sadly, (Cold) fusion seems to be in the same boat (see ecat etc.). People want to believe...

Where can you get an invite code? http://snag.gy/xh6uk.jpg

Would be cool to see an online version (eg no install required).

Too much too early. Sad.

MBTI, I learned a lot about myself since I discovered that I am an INTJ.
