You should save the exaggerated euphemisms for your audiophile subreddits. "square waves pressed on to vinyl" just proves you have no clue of the physics to an HN audience.
You think you do. The issue is it's just about impossible to isolate translation from rotation. You would always be doing just a little rotating every time you touched the ball, whether you wanted to or not. And any time you tried 'rotating', you'd also be moving the cursor.
Just because one corp does something x bad, it means some other corp is ok to do something 10x bad?
There's a huge difference between a utility scale power plant (you know, with things like tall chimneys) and "truck mounted" generators in the impact to the local air quality. But you know this and are playing word games.
BS. Only if you pedantically define 'photo' as collecting an image at xyz location at a particular instant. I'm quite certain that photos of the Eiffel Tower are NOT rare.
FYI, on this android tablet (android v12 / FF 144.0.2), the 'start typing a book title...' field doesn't do anything. On the Mac, it brings up a list of matches to select from.
A long time ago, worked on a comm satellite program. It used a whack of tuned cans to combine high powered transmit signals with harmonics in each others' frequency bands to feed into the antenna. I once asked how they worked. The answer was 'magic'. I mean, they were physical RF filters, but no one could explain or reproduce how they worked. There was this one guy who could tighten the screws that adjusted the inside baffles so they 'worked'. No one else could.
Orbital and escape velocities??? The elevator is sitting over a stationary spot... it's moving at earth's rotational velocity. Only the portion above the GEO anchor is moving at orbital velocity.
Not really? "I imagine Pepys used Shelton’s Shorthand because he had to take copious notes of Navy Board meetings and take official government minutes."
Since the diary (and so his shorthand use) pre-dates his appointment to the Navy Board, this conclusion is a bit of a reach....
To begin with, airplanes do fall out of they sky, sometimes right on your backup generator. (speaking from military experience where yes, there is an entire backup studio waiting to take over, just in case. Or rather, the 'studio' is geographically dispersed, with 100% redundancy, which is another way of saying the same thing.)
But more importantly, *this* is what you noticed from that article?
An aspect missing from the article and comments here is that magnesium is also available as a topical application. I have some in a spray that I can apply to my knees before bed, we also get some from a local source in a cream base for massaging into muscles. That lets you focus the application without dosing your entire system with it.
Sure there is. It's called single payer.
There's no way to fix this with the current layers of middlemen milking profits from what should be a public utility.
Checklists are great! Until TPTB decide everything should be a checklist, and then that everyone needs to be trained to the checklist and no more than that, and then start punishing any deviation from said checklists, and the all the newbies go 'why should I learn all this technical stuff, it's not needed for the checklist?'.
And then something changes and no one knows how to do anything but follow the checklist that doesn't work anymore....
You obviously didn't live through it, or you wouldn't be spouting such offensive, naive nonsense. How many working class families do you know that can afford to buy economically significant amounts of T-bills, as opposed to, you know, eating, or paying for car repairs, or kid's back to school supplies. When is the last time you saw a bank paying anywhere close to the prime rate on savings accounts, which is all a working class family typically has access to. (as opposed to pocketing the difference as profit, thank you very much)
If you only want to see what you want to see, it's easy to find evidence. On the other hand, look at the commonly posted wages vs productivity graphs (productivity goes up pretty much unbroken, but wages flatline since roughly mid-70s), or compare the 'US is #1!!' GDP per capita numbers against the *median* income numbers. Bit of a difference when you remove Musk, Gates, Bezos et al income from the comparison.
