Probably more effective to give to a food pantry to avoid the corporate profit cut, but the thought is very nice.
Yup, free market only incentives competition when it's actually free. Demand monopolys are just as bad as supply ones.
My friends with a lot of kids got a used airport limousine. I guess it was cheaper than an express van at the time. That was pretty cool and unique.
You only need a graphing calculator because you're not allowed to use wolfram alpha, desmos, or Matlab. Since you're mandated to use graphing calculators, (sometimes even specific models) there's no incentive to make them cheaper or better since you need to buy them anyway.
Median income or ihdi are much better indicators of people's well-being.

The economy/gdp is just a measure of how much stuff you are making, not who is getting it.
No they fired him, but he's staying on till they find a replacement. (He did get millions of dollars to boot though)
I love the different styles of Cash's version, nine inch nails, and the Eric Whitacre choral version. They all bring out different parts of the text, and the comparison is fascinating.
SpaceX has been receptive to design changes to starlink in the past to minimize impact, like decreasing reflectivity and reflection angles for astronomers. They might be receptive to moving to different alloy for the body construction.
Magnesium comes to mind that would be light but expensive. Steel alloys might be cheap and heavy options for later when starship is operational. Would those have similar effects on ozone, or is it only the aluminum oxides? Carbon fiber also looks promising. It could be pretty cheap and light if you can keep it planar rather than custom formed. Someone had mentioned wood in a different thread, but I'm uncertain if that'd work because of off gassing.
Good! They must have accelerated the trend quite a bit from when I could find data on their energy mix. But it does look like they're largely replacing with gas rather than renewables.
Interesting, I thought this would be about using algae for kerosene synthesis, but it looks like they're getting electricity from it like a solar panel. I wonder what the area efficiency is vs a solar panel, and if it might have advantages in cost or longevity.

The speed varies slightly depending on your speed and proximity to massive objects!
I wish that were true. Plenty of people on .ml and hexbear willing to suck up to Putin.
4.8kg per day gives 1.75 tons per year, giving an 800% increase. That's still really big, thanks for tracking down the numbers.
48 tons per day, so it'd need to be less than 0.08% aluminum to double it.
Yeah you'd need to put up fewer sats per launch. But they might still have enough lift capacity on starship to do that.
Anyone have tips on digital additive synthesis? I'm looking to define a curve for the overtone series to follow and generate and combine sign waves from that. Looks like there is a way in Python?

Anyone have thoughts or experience with generating sounds in Python? Are there any artifacts I should watch out for? Is there an easier way to generate tones from equations for their overtone series? Thanks!
Another happy landing. I can't believe starship managed to land gently after burning half the flap off!

Just make sure to return them when you're done! Maybe even add a new one if you find one.
The one I used was very nice. Has a nice heft all the way down, and was very straight.

XiaoHao2 took these pics and videos from across the China boarder with a dgi drone in 2020. They uploaded just recently. Here's some more pics
OnStar reports location and speed data to the car manufacturer. Sometimes they will sell this data to insurance companies to raise your premium, as several news stores pointed out a few weeks ago. I couldn't really find an advantage to OnStar, (I have my phone to call emergency services) so I disabled it by pulling it's fuse.
For my 2019 bolt, it's f31 in the instrument panel fuse box, just down and to the left of the steering wheel. The fuse box cover comes off when you pull it hard from the bottom.
I was able to find which fuse went to OnStar in the owners manual and labeled on the inside of the fuse box cover. You should be able to find it for your model car there too if it uses OnStar.
I did have the casualty of my speaker for calls and texts. I'm not able to use it right now. I'll see if I can dig in and reconnect it somehow, but we'll see.
Who knows that other into they're snitching back to GM, or what they could do in the future, so I recommend disconnecting it. Good luck!
Amazing views, especially for live! I don't think we've ever seen reentry plasma on a live stream before.
PS, does anyone know how to get a direct link to a twitter video? I used to be able to through nitter, but that shut down. I can't figure out how to get twitter videos on lemmy directly now.
Folds down to fit inside a 1kg filament box. Upsidedown let's the complicated moving bits be in the base where there's less vibration. Krylan3D originally designed this to easily take in a backpack back and forth from college, but is now hired and working on designing other 3d printers. So the community has made improvements and made it easier to make yourself. Parts cost about $550.
As you reduce the amount of carbon emissions (the y axis) the methods to keep reducing carbon cost more (the x axis.)
This great graph came to my attention from this video from vlogbrothers. It also has some good explanations of what it means.
Note that carbon capture doesn't really make sense till you've exhausted all the other emission minimizing methods.

Ancalagon the Black, the absolutely gargantuan dragon from the first age of middle earth!
This fantastic artwork is by Ruben de Vela. I think the sense of scale and immense power are remarkable.
>But Earendil came, shining with white flame, and about Vingilot were gathered all the great birds of heaven and Thorondor was their captain, and there was battle in the air all the day and through a dark night of doubt. Before the rising of the sun Earendil slew Ancalagon the Black, the mightiest of the dragon-host, and cast him from the sky; and he fell upon the towers of Thangorodrim, and they were broken in his ruin. The Simarilian chapter 24

These mini castles were built all over the city.
>The reasons for the construction of so many towers are not clear. One hypothesis is that the richest families used them for offensive/defensive purposes during the period of the Investiture Controversy.
Only a few survive to the current day.
