Article says "SpaceX collisions up 200 percent", but it is actually "conjunction risk mitigation manoeuvres[sic]" that are up 200 percent. These are active maneuvers to avoid collisions.
I was interested in when computers started showing up. I flipped through some years quickly. I see a terminal on page 158 in 1984 ('84:158). What looks like an 8-bit computer at '85:103 and a Mac at '86:190. Anyone see something earlier?
This could be a game. When was the first flat screen TV? When was the first CD rack? When was the first microwave?
There is a record player at '20:156. Did record players go away and then come back?
There are at least two typewriters in 2020 ('20:56 and '20:61). I wouldn't have expected typewriters in a 2020 catalog. Maybe that's a Swedish thing? Are typewriters still common in Sweden?
To be clear, PBS is showing the 30-episode show that was made in China. It's different from the Netflix series that just came out. I plan to watch both.
The whitepaper actually says that 28% of Japan is over 65.
Maybe 75% is a misunderstanding of the "Old-age dependency ratios 1950-2050 in the 19 countries of study" chart. That shows that in 2050 Japan will have 74.32 people over 65 for every 100 people between 15-64.
"Overall, do you strongly favor, somewhat favor, somewhat oppose, or strongly oppose the use of nuclear energy as one of the ways to provide electricity in the United States?"
File size is always an issue when downloading such big content, so we always produce each Wikipedia file in three flavours:
Mini: only the introduction of each article, plus the infobox. Saves about 95% of space vs. the full version.
nopic: full articles, but no images. About 75% smaller than the full version
Maxi: the default full version.
True, but you also have to wait for your options to vest. I did make the mistake of waiting too long. With a 5-year vesting schedule it's possible to still get a stiff tax for the last few years.
This is one area where I think the company didn't make the consequences clear. But I also understand that they were trying very hard to not appear to be giving tax advice. Also, my company specifically asked us NOT to do small purchases. I guess there were people doing monthly exercises with each paycheck and the company didn't like that (it wasn't forbidden, just frowned upon).
The article is 4 years old. I'm not saying it was a smart move, but at the time he would have had to pay taxes that he might not have been able to afford. I know people that left SpaceX options on the table because they couldn't afford the taxes.
A lot of people here are assuming COUNTRY1 is an adversary. I'm going to guess India. It's plausible to think that India would love to be able to build nuclear submarines with equivalent technology to the Virginia-class. It isn't crazy to think they might be willing to pay money for secrets. But it's also equally plausible that they would immediately tell the US to avoid diplomatic complications if it was discovered. It's also easier to justify selling to a friendly country instead of an enemy. He and his wife might have thought, "It's not like India is going to use the information to attack the US. What's the harm?"
