> Or I just apologize. Of course, I'm a coward.

You can apologize AND simultaneously it can be true that such other person is also a jerk who purposefully gets offended by stupid things and takes everyone out of context for their own benefit who leads a march to cancel you.

> different kids have wildly different resources/home lives and those differences cut across racial.

One of the largest impacts on a child's outcome is if they have two parents that are involved in their lives, and even more if they are involved in their education. The classroom has little to do with parenting. There's other reasons why kids dont have two parents though.

Have insurers determined if touchscreens result in more accidents? And have premiums accounted for this?

I was told decades ago that insurance companies analyze vehicle make, models, and colors for accidents, and adjust the premiums (heard red cars were often at fault and white cars were often hit because they were missed by other drivers while merging lanes, not sure if that data is still true in 2021). Surely they also include these features into their analysis

I find that even more disingenous than OP. That first link shows the Top 15 picks of the $VTI, but IIRC the $VTI is an index of 3,000 companies across the whole market. Picking 15 heavy-weight stocks is not even the same realm as an index fund.

She weights APPLE at 18.7% while VTI weights VTI weights the top 10 holdings for a total of 23% of the portfolio.

Thanks for building this. I had not heard of it before, but it looks great Are there more tutorials elsewhere on the Internet you would recommned, besides what is in the documentation?

> Yes, they are CHARGING power plant operators who rushed to bring capacity online.

A negative cost incentivizes the operators to turn it off, no? I imagine those power plant operators can easily turn it off in an hour? 9000/31=290.3, so there is plenty of margin to break even.

Isn't that part of the plot to Inception?

It looks like it is still unfixed

Bonus points for a "Days Since Google Raised Prices on Their Customers?" counter

> I'm certain that many investors are riding on the Moon Shot projects they keep marching out.

When they realize that Google is shutting down all the Loon Shot projects, I wonder if they'll keep investing or start pulling out their money.

> Or on the bumbling rollout of vaccines.

The article picks on this amongst other items, but I want to know: who HAS had a successful rollout of vaccines? The US, the UK, and the EU have all failed. Is there a model state, province, or nation that has been doing 'great' at rolling out of vaccines?

> When COVID hit and we moved to work from home - a huge amount of complaints began around why cant employees expense food since they are not in the office. While most "real" people were worried about keeping their jobs or finding one, many employees were complaining about expensing their food on top of their salaries/stocks/bonuses. This entitlement continued everywhere - while Google is BY FAR the most employee centric company giving tremendous hard and soft value to its employees, they keep creating imaginary problems to complain about, instead of appreciating the hand they have been dealt.

That level of entitlement is incredible. I feel very fortunate to make a well above average salary, and I keep reminding myself that it's unusual, and that I should increase my savings for when the faucet is eventually turned off

From the articles I've read they do:

> Even today, ERCOT is also not completely isolated from other grids — as was evident when the state imported some power from Mexico during the rolling blackouts of 2011. ERCOT has three ties to Mexico and — as an outcome of the "Midnight Connection" battle — it also has two ties to the eastern U.S. grid, though they do not trigger federal regulation for ERCOT. All can move power commercially as well as be used in emergencies, according to ERCOT spokeswoman Dottie Roark. A possible sixth interconnection project, in Rusk County, is being studied, and another ambitious proposal, called Tres Amigas, would link the three big U.S. grids together in New Mexico, though Texas' top utility regulator has shown little enthusiasm for participating.

> My idea would be to craft laws saying you can't capture any video for anything off of your property.

That's a terrible idea. That would make video taping police brutality illegal. Or what if you watched a bank robbery take place and wanted to record the getaway vehicle? Under your ideal law, any hero who catches the criminal would also be a criminal.

> It's some student's final project in design class, and has no business on the front page.

There's been worse things on the front page. The concept art is nice and well done, I enjoyed scrolling through it. But the subscription price is laughable

One of my university professors taught us this incidet, along with a number of other failures, as an ethics lesson. It shook me and I think of it whenever I see automated medical machines, self-driving cars, etc

I bet this throws off sleep studies. I have trouble sleeping in new or strange places

I thought this was going to be a Clippy joke, but the truth was much more disturbing. Why is Microsoft sharing this level of information (from a corporate account) with third parties?

> Last I checked Twitter is not a state-run operation that will arrest or kill people who report information that it doesn't agree with.

This isn't Pravda, that was KGB. Pravda is a better analogy as it was a newspaper. Your comment just flamed with additional hyperbole. There's no need for that here

Is there a UI/color science reason why the author chooses a yellow background?

> 4% inflation-adjusted returns aren’t going to turn a single contribution of $1,000 into $1,000,000 in anyone’s lifetime.

Of course it isn't and no one suggested that. A more realistic scenario is investing 1,000/month for 35 years at 5% adjusted returns IS $1,000,000, and isn't even capping the maximum 401k limits.

I agree with you that this isn't possible when you're not employed or otherwise disadvantaged though.

> Alternatively: we could assume that people are capable of making their own financial decisions and don't need anyone to police what they do with their own money.

We have assumed that, and it's turned out to be generally a terrible assumption, with most US earners not being able to manage a $500 expense and being indebted to credit card companies

How long ago was this? I wonder what the bug was. I want to try this, but don't want to go through a painful uninsall experience

> The freedom of one ends where the freedom of the other begins

> Usually it doesn't make sense and doesn't convey any concrete meaning

This is the first time I have heard this quote, but it makes sense to me. Why do you suggest it doesn't make sense?

This isn't a model for identity, this is attempting to justify a rearchitecture of identity systems primarily for solving the scenario of plurality

> I take no pleasure in offending people and will change my language accordingly.

The problem is when it's not offensive, and that's why dictionaries have a half-dozen definitions for any one word. The academic cancellers in this article are not going out and burning their own Master degrees

No the person you're responding to, but the OP article gives the impression.

Either way I don't understand how the text you pasted intends to "strike the balance" when e2ee is present. Either they're talking about backdoors or they're in fantasyland

I just did the same calculation and I that looks right

951 are currently in orbit. I thought they only wanted 3000-7000, but I was incredibly wrong. They want 42,000 total?

30,000+12,000 satellites - 951 in orbit = 41,049 / 143 per launch = 287 more launches

Source of that is from wikipedia:

> On 15 October 2019, the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) submitted filings to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) on SpaceX's behalf to arrange spectrum for 30,000 additional Starlink satellites to supplement the 12,000 Starlink satellites already approved by the FCC.[16]
