Your wit is subtle and dry - or lacking. I can't tell, LOL

you don't know what you're talking about at all. Every single point is incorrect.

garbage website, I flag anything from the guardian and suggest that everyone who wants HR to remain valuable do the same. This goes for and any non-specialized, non-hacker, commercial media, and politics-first sites.

the title would be improved by specifying that this is about computing performance - not, say, global economics, nutrition, or cosmology.

maybe "What are the computing performance numbers developers should know in 2019?"

so good to see this getting attention. Wish they could clean up fileinput, getopt, optparse, and argparse though. there should be one clear, obvious, way to do command line args.

pretty arrogant statement there, buddy - decreeing what a real investor is permitted to do. There are many things happening on the stock market on many timescales and the participants would definitely not consider themselves gamblers.

copyright is automatic; the creator need do nothing.

hopefully never as the concept is sound.

Ask your broker or see what pops up when you preview a short sale order. Fidelity will show you an interest rate if it's a hard-to-borrow stock. Interactive Brokers is quite good about showing rates as well.

"carding" is apparently the trafficking in stolen credit cards and banking information.

the owners have to vote for it

Tu quoque much?

you have a plan and some promising technologies and 2 boats and a hope.

that's nothing.

FYI, the self-replicating robots is kinda the hard part.

the center wing structure is strong

home prices have appreciated far faster than the cost of living during most of people's lives.

detecting and identifying trace molecules in air is not at all easy. there are some very specific detectors that work well, but nothing like a general electronic nose.

they did

Since I keep seeing partially-informed comments about 737 pitch controls here's some notes and terms and links: It's not obvious, it's not simple, and other planes work in other ways - you can not just assume the 737MAX is like them.

The 737 horizontal tail externally looks like 3 moving parts:front-to-back (and large to small) is: Stabilizer : Elevator : Balance Tab.

see here: http://www.b737.org.uk/flightcontrols.htm#Pitch

Stabilizer moves in response to trim - this is what we are mostly looking at.

Elevator moves in response to the control column.

Balance tab has several modes depending on flaps and hydraulic system health - but it mostly serves to offset aerodynamic force on the elevator in case the hydraulics fail and the elevator has to be controlled manually.

(there is one other pitch control, I learned - the spoilers on the wing can give some help in landing in case the elevator controls fail.)

There are many modes of operation and simple generalizations will not help.

do you use banks?

chill, pal - you're carastrophizing something you don't understand

this is not true, where did you get this?

inability to predict the time and effort needed

that is who produces most of it today, but it is widely distributed, being found wherever copper and nickel are. Among the top producers after DRC and Russia are Australia and Canada - so there's not going to be some cobalt catastrophe.

why?

they are a fantastic way to project power without having land bases, obviously. We have used them quite a lot for this purpose in the 60 years since cruise missiles were developed - including in the wars we are currently fighting.

also they are major sources of money for industry in important congressional districts, and have symbolic power that politicians and leaders crave.

no one else does it because they are expensive, difficult to develop, and no one else has the need to support global operations like we do (though China is getting there, and the UK fondly remembers when it used to).

no one is remotely confident in their BMD, where do you get that idea?

they are very useful outside of a full-on war with a major power.

this is all nonsense - why are you proclaiming this fantasy as if you were some authority?

clever design, but that video was awful. It came across as either ill-informed or misleading - and the beige - oh my, the beige.

10% of an adult population dying over the course of 20 years doesn't seem inherently crazy? The WHO says no more than 4k died due to the accident.
