Isn’t the question here why shouldn’t friends not let friends use CSV?

You absolutely want a keyboard when programming, but you can get one that works with the ipad. As someone else suggested the software environment is probably more the limiting factor.

Where do you find your Everett true comics? I’m guessing some kind of archive based on the highlighted text. Have you come across other good old timey cartoons?

Yeah, this is a cool story. Reminds me of the show Girls 5 Eva (where an old girls pop group gets back together cause someone sampled their song)

That’s great. The comment about shutting down a bike if the driver is too aggressive is a little concerning. But clearly a net positive

Sort of like congratulating someone on being pregnant, you’ve got to be 100% sure before you pull this one

I think we’ve all had the experience of being at a picnic and a guy in a funny suit thrust a snake at us

I interpreted it to be added because the last time this was posted (without “citation needed”) someone in the comments pointed out that in real life, the woman on this air pistol team actually performed worse than the man and affected their final score.

Not sure the point is really conveyed without knowing that context. But also I don’t think the original was that good either.

What

Had to look it up. Wikipedia and lyrics (along with a midi version)

What a banger

I’m curious, what do you mean by hardcore karaoke people?

As an aside, I went to a brewery with karaoke and there was a huge group that all seemed to know each other, including one guy who brought his trumpet and alternated between singing and playing (on multiple songs)

Everett seems to have a soft spot for work animals.

One thing to keep an eye on as far as services is to make sure they’re used by all classes of people. In the states there’s public housing but it’s seen as inferior (and usually is actually inferior). So only the poor use it, which means it has no powerful defenders. And for most people who already own a home, they would never consider getting rid of it to move into public housing.

One advantage of UBI is that everyone gets it, so everyone will have an incentive to defend it. Think about social security - every so often politicians talk about how we might need to cut, but that would be political suicide because of how many people are invested in getting that payout.

You’re right, and it’s probably important to game out what the purpose of such an ark is.

Are we trying to revive a set of animals that have gone extinct on earth, but there has been continuity in civilization from the time we placed the ark to when we need it? In that scenario we could have just taken the necessary effort to protect the ark from weather events. (Or build it sufficiently protected inside a mountain or whatever)

Or is the purpose to help an alien civilization (or a newly sprouted human civilization after some disaster) to recreate extinct life? In that case, I’d argue we don’t have the technology to ensure the ark is protected/intact over that time period whether on earth or the moon. It would be an extremely expensive undertaking we have no chance of ever seeing benefit from, and no way to know if another civilization would.

On first hearing this sounds dumb. Any advantages the moon has are surely offset by the difficulty of getting there and maintaining/resupplying the ark.

I can’t read Chinese, but looks like the colors represent elevation, not how green an area is.

Damn this makes the OSHA holes even more ridiculous

Lol yes but that was within a planetary gravity well

You’re right, and other intellectual “design” jobs will have physical or visible manifestations of the design process. In video you have a storyboard, set design. In music you have notation, lyrics, demo recordings, and so on.

Some neat ideas in there.
