France’s high speed trains have a dedicated network of tracks. They don’t have to share those tracks with regional and cargo trains.

That was the case before long range weapons of mass destruction became a thing

Money can’t buy. But money can rent for a few days

We all think we know

Thank you, this is exactly what I was implying

I stopped reading at “If you emit a kilowatt of energy”.

We all know. But we all have a different vision of a ‘correct’ form

I think https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_baryon_problem addresses this question

It is also about sending a message to the population (no pun intended), about uniting them against a common enemy. Dictators want people to believe that their enemy is also the enemy of the people.

I’d love that too, but a lot of the people don’t seem that convinced. They are emotionally attached to working for a living and dying of old age.

Hey, thanks for the reply!

We already have lazy sign up, but I'll definitely consider adding a demo and/or more screenshots.

What are the challenges that prevent humanity from further automating clothes production? We don’t weave fabrics by hand anymore, but we still sew pieces of it together by hand. Why is that?

Could you explain the vdL’s poney reference? I’d really love to understand it.

I’m anyone and it wasn’t clear to me

If all salmon returned to the same river then there would be only one river with Salmon spawning. Maybe they do have perfect memory, but a certain percentage of them get carried to other rivers by birds of prey who want to have Salmon in THEIR river

They also threatened UA with a full scale invasion by doing troop trainings on the border for several years before the real thing.

I would be more interested in seeing what % of immigrants entered respective country illegally.

At least in Germany there's a huge difference between illegal immigrants and immigrants without a legal status (term used in the article).

It is fairly easy to enter Germany illegally and gain legal status afterwards.

Our inspiration was Atul Gawande’s Checklist Manifesto

We are working on an app/platform for repeatable checklists. Things like packing and maintenance lists. Adhoc/evergreen lists are also supported.

Plus all the collaborative features that you would expect from a platform.

So essentially Microsoft To Do meets GitHub.

It is still raw but we already use it for our own lists: https://wiederhol.com/about

Thank you! I think I’ll use quick bangs even more: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/bangs.html#quick-bangs

It mostly comes down to reducing extra weight. You have to carry those wings and landing gear upwards, which reduces useful payload weight. But having the booster right where it started also helps with reusability. No need to transport the booster from a landing strip back to the starting table

I sometimes also want to scream after going through passport control and security check. That doesn’t mean I would scream the whole time if a nice lady took care of me and 29 other grown up people

True, but for example with db-level validations I don’t have to worry that a new developer ships a batch job that runs raw inserts for performance reasons and bypasses app layer validations.

What an unexpected ending.

From your comparison it may seem that Rohloff is worse than Alfine 11. But it is actually lighter and more efficient. Plus it has wider gear range and equal range jumps between each gear

Unfortunately all IGHs are not created equal. Removing a back wheel with a Shimano Nexus with a coast break is a lot harder than removing a back wheel with a Rohloff.

I'm comparing these to my galaxy buds plus, which I bough because of theoretically replaceable batteries:

- pro: 10 EUR for a pair of replacement batteries for the earbuds vs ~20 EUR for a pair of VARTA batteries with shipping from Germany

- pro: 13 EUR for a new battery for the case. I need to go to aliexpress to find a replacement battery for the galaxy buds plus case

- pro: replacement process seems to be way easier because it was designed to be replaceable unlike galaxy buds plus

- pro: lighter than the buds: ~5g vs 6.3g

- pro: ANC

- con: more expensive. I paid half the price for the buds. But that was in 2020 money.

- con: they are bigger: 28.7 x 24.6 x 21mm vs 17.5 x 22.5 x 19.2mm

Counter point: first unmanned US soft landing attempt succeeded 3 years before first manned attempt. Surveyor 1 - 1966 Apollo 11 - 1969. I bet that NASA learned a lot from 7 unmanned Surveyor missions and that contributed to the success of Apollo 11.

Even if not that still tells you that you are not just buying a product but also are a product in Lenovo’s eyes

> and that it has conspired since the 1940s to keep this effort hidden from the United States congress and the American public.

> reviewed all official government investigatory efforts since 1945

One could interpret these two statements as “We found UFOs between 1940 and 1945”.
