"become a caricature of yourself"

this is definitely comedy

so it's 5, not 2. an outer and inner cancel each other out. then the remaining whether inside or outside are added to that same side.

Yeah my point was every measurement system has some value you can’t easily divide into thirds. How you measure depends on your tolerances. I have no qualms using either system, but metric is a much better system in my opinion.

I have a project where I need 3 wooden blocks, each perfect squares, to fit width wise in a 10” wide gap. I don’t want any space between these blocks sides of the gap they fit in. It’s an important project to me and I’m willing to pay a substantial sum of money.

But from what I am reading it sounds like you’re not able to do the job, the blocks need to be 3 1/3” wide each. It’s a no-go if I see someone try to cut them to 3 5/16”

What kind of system doesn’t let you cut such a fundamental length into thirds. Crazy.

What kind of junk statistics are these? HBR ought to be more discerning in what it publishes.

"How successful teams collaborate"... wait, I meant "the average number of users who update the same directories in Dropbox from institutions that tend to have influential research.

Sound insights. Make sure you're collaborating with no more than 2.3 people or else you'll have to move your research projects over to Yale.

"cultural compatibility"... Sounds like a concept created by someone who hasn't met people from very many cultures.

Not true.

Sure, put my reputation behind something I have never tried. That makes sense.

It's actually dangerous and unethical TO put my name behind this untested product. It's not open source, and I'm being asked to put my seal of trust and approval on their project. That's a hard no.

It will not affect it in any way. They have released their plans for Starlink and there will be a "blackout" zone over China, so China doesn't shoot down their satellites. In 2007, China shot down FY-1C as a test of a kinetic kill vehicle (leaving tons of high speed space debris). Unless they receive approval from China to broadcast, they won't over China.

It means what it says. They simplify how a company can take an order and get the money. It’s a product for businesses.

And dynamic subscriptions means they have a way to change elements of a subscription (term length, renewal period). Dynamic means it’s something that changes.

You said that the information regarding either production goals or production numbers from Tesla's website was "inherently biased toward the company and not the best source". Meaning the published reservations, projections or production numbers would have been misrepresented in some way to benefit the company.

If they did so, that would be securities fraud, by definition. What about their projections, which were publicly stated and published in the past, or their actual production, which was publicly stated in the article (both of which are subject to SEC regulation review and legal recourse) are inherently biased toward the company?

You do realize that Tesla is a publicly traded company, and what you are saying (that they would misrepresent production numbers) would be securities fraud. They publicly stated their goals: https://www.forbes.com/sites/alanohnsman/2017/08/02/tesla-st...)

They did not reach their goals. No need for paranoia.

The comment was clearly critiquing Engadget's journalism (lack of original source citation).

The comment was not regarding the quality of Google's search engine results for given keywords.

But you can copyright a database.

Tesla is not producing peakers, correct?

It creates an easy vector for MITM attacks - could be done by nefarious parties on US citizens traveling in other countries for example.

There have to be things that are explorable and things that are not. Your messages, your "wall" (to non-friends) etc - those can be encrypted.

your name, your city, your public posts, posts made by companies - you could design this so those are not encrypted/are available for search.

if ROI was 10%, winnings would have been ~$127k

I think I understand what you're getting at, but the example you gave is not a learned act, it's a reflex action. It bypasses your brain entirely, you generally recognize the pain after you reflexively withdraw your hand.

Because coal power releases more radiation than nuclear power, and those energy sources are what americans know best. Nuclear is the lesser of two evils, and less ubiquitous. It's somewhat of a false dichotomy.

Forced oral sex is considered rape. This isn't feminist redefinition. You think if a gun is to your head and you give a blowjob that is sexual harassment? Think about someone who has a family and needs their income, and what this kind of situation puts them in.

Forced oral sex is also by definition rape. And is it consent, despite performing a sexual act, if a "no" causes you severe harm (in this case financial/career harm) and you truly didn't want to do that sexual act, but you acted out of fear and coercion?

Sounds like you had a bad experience, but as others have said, the Ableton has changed substantially in the past 5 years. Ableton 9 came out in March of 2013, at which point the time limit issue would be resolved.

Regarding the interface being unintuitive, I think that could be true for those who are experienced in standard linear DAW workflows, and I could see how it could feel unintuitive for someone looking to record a Serato DJ session. It's got a lot of tools for music production, and you'd need to be in Arrangement view, not session view.

As a software developer and someone who likes to mess around in music production, the interface became incredibly intuitive once I did the (included) software tour and learned the difference between Arrangement View and Session View, and what could be accomplished in those.

In terms of music production (not DJing), the way instruments and effects are set up reminds me of objects, where you have data and methods. You create sound clips on instruments which are kind of like functions you can reuse. (Just a loose analogy)

If you build a bunch of clips on instruments in the Session view of these you can use them together to create a song that you improvise somewhat, within the sounds and drumbeats that you have pre-created. It's really fun if you play with it and get accustomed to how the software works!

Additionally, a potentially bigger risk is if there is a massive methane release event, it could drastically accelerate global warming.

Methane traps up to 100x more heat in the atmosphere than an equivalent amount of CO2 (over a 5 year period) and 72x more heat over a 20 year period

When Google is doing your authentication for you? This node is about rolling your own auth.

Being incorrect in one area is often indicative of wrong thinking in many areas. The recommendation to use SHA-256 is dangerous and it makes me distrust the entire post.

How did you go off of it for two weeks last week?

if you like to read, the kindle paperwhite is amazing. so much better than reading on an ipad or iphone, and you can carry/instantly download so many books/pdfs you find online (browser button automatically sends it to your kindle)/etc... Great for reading, actually benefits the customer.
