I don't understand where you are coming from. I've met cab drivers in the third world that are successful, because they live the life they want. I've met investment bankers in the first world that are failures, they are rich but can't do what they want because "N reasons", trapped as you put.

A parent that cares for a disabled child is only a failure as long as he does not want to do it but has to. In this case he is not only a failure but a horrible person.

I volunteer to care for old people 1h per month and I do not consider this a burden or entrapping or nothing like that. In fact I've met my first wife like this.

If you are not living the life you want then you are a failure. Face the reality of your situation. While others do what they want you do what you are "supposed" to do, and you know how this feels. Good luck.

Madoff pulled a ponzi scheme for years, despite multiple complaints filed by third parties to the SEC. At the end the 2008 crisis brought him down, his victims lost their money and the SEC just tagged the bodies it found.

Same goes for the crypto guy, did regulations stop him from defrauding billions and hurting thousands of victims?

Quite hard to grasp what they are really trying to achieve there. They are building what kind of tools, and for whom?

Career defining? Nobody wants to hire rats that you can't trust.

Lasers? That is so boring. Consider the floating sphere.

The US couldn't even compensate the native people whose land they completely destroyed with nuclear testing in the pacific. But it wants LATAM to compensate them by giving up their sovereignty over their own land "because it affects everyone".

Zinc-air is a primary cell. Once discharged you throw it out. This means external infrastructure to support recycling. What is the agenda of people pushing a poorly written thing like this? Not gonna lie, I broke a personal rule reading something with "could" in the title.

The trading bots probably think the retail price should be a little higher. It doesn't mean anything.

In a well controlled process it should not be common. Bigger parts have been casted before without issue. Tesla cutting corners?

The future is now, old man.

From your bio I can guarantee you that you do not represent the average social media dweller. Not even close. And you know it.

Utility? Imagine all we could achieve with the time wasted daily on social media globally.

Only precision applications can afford the high cost of specialized materials. All the things you mentioned are unrelated, as they are cost driven and steel will always win.

A definition of "mind" would help settle this.

Neat. My uncle worked on nuke stuff at Lawrence Livermore. He used to sleep talk incoherent phrases. I never made sense of anything but it was fun to guess. Stuff like "no, the crosstalk will ruin in" or "it's too close to the physics pack they will not approve".

It is called insurance and is a heavily regulated thing.

The disk also has to move its head to the location of the data. It is faster, but still sequential.

The defendant has been recognized by no less than 15 people. His DNA was found all over the crime scene . The victim's blood was found at his clothes. A video recording made by a surveillance camera depicts the whole murder. He himself confessed.

"The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life." Paul Murphy.

None offense taken, but what is "that" that it points to?

Should is a strong word. The world is what it is. But I tell you from experience. It will hurt a lot less to handle romantic relationships as transactional. Save unconditional love to children.

This comment might be one of the most valuable in the whole thread. Confidence is very sought and valuable. Combine it with resources , it is what women seek.

For the parent of the post, try to introduce a potential partner to a female friend. Study the questions she ask and the ones she don't. It will reveal to you what she seeks and what she already has, or what don't value now.

They can, but they are billionaires. For Bezos, yes it sucks to lose so much stock and control of something. She kinda of deserves by her support of the endeavor. My point is, regular individuals regularly get crushed by divorce process because a lot of women are experts in leveraging their position.

In Gates case that could be the reason, but every other woman will theirs. The fact is, she walked away with wealth and can seek men that will fulfill her other needs. Purely transactional.

Yes. When stability of money is removed, even children won't hold a marriage in current year.

Women seek stability. Money is a requirement for that. Stability in the sense of their nature, a nature we must respect. For starters they will be the ones bearing the child, an event that in modern society will set their careers back, but in primitive society could mean their death if they were alone.

Relationships are transactional. Not every single one of them, but a would say a majority. Money is not a sufficient requirement, but it is a necessary one for sure.

Women select for value. Intelligence in modern society leads to higher value (i.e. networth).

But networth itself will not hold women forever, just look at Bezos and Gates.

Sensor could be optical. Gas sensor using fiber to carry the signal. But probably this is almost paranoia, electrical sensors would trip much earlier than a critical concentration would form. Also possible to design a very well encapsulated electrical sensor.
