A huge loss to and a massive vote of no confidence in MSR Cambridge. Is Epic worse than Facebook? I can’t imagine much of an upside to praying on human frailties in order to make g…

I have hEDS which can cause POTS and had the exact same experience. The Golden Girls covered it over 30 years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVyLZTKDy2E and it is still the de…

I enjoyed the realpolitik of Expanse but hated the trite interpersonal conflicts which seems to be a mainstay of modern drama. I find the main characters to be rather childish.

I wonder how much may be due to LongCovid. If even 10% of infections result in LongCovid then I would expect to see it in job reports.

My primary concern would be the noise. I can deal with small rooms, no windows etc. but I assume students crammed that close together would be crazy noisy. I have ADHD so I’m much …

My favorite part was the gaslighting done by Cadbury. “It hasn’t gotten smaller, you’ve gotten bigger”

Q seemed to be an 'Operation Trust' / операция Трест campaign. The idea is to undermine resistance by pretending there is already one in place and that the secret resistance with a…

It’s still simpler and cheaper. The swashplate is much simpler. Much less power is fed to the main rotor as inertia is built up slowly and only for take off. The lower standard of …

For completeness I should add; Quadrotor configurations rely on varying prop speeds to control pitch, yaw, and roll. The larger the props the more difficult it is to vary the prop …

Most wing suit flying is generally far away from obstacles. When they do get close its not many obstacles and it’s carefully planned. Flying FPV through forests is a lot of fun bec…

I am aware crazy people do exist. It's a matter of degree and I would suggest that flying this thought a forest Endor style would be far more dangerous than free solo climbing.

They are explaining how quadcopters don't scale very well. You may be misunderstanding the explanation. The surface area covered by the rotor is much less for quadcopters and it is…

I've flown FPV drones through forests, it's insane. The reaction speeds needed are crazy. It is almost impossible to last a day without crashing. I'm sure there are lots of fun thi…

That would involve Endor-style crashes, it would be insanely dangerous. Flying FPV drones gives much of the same feeling without the all the death.

Some gyros can jump-start, as in pre-spin their rotor fast enough for vertical take off. It would add a bit of complexity but it'll still be relatively simple.

The real problem is just how damn expensive it is to build anything inside Microsoft. It makes it hard and harder to justify spending the money. AFAIK it’s only getting worse. I ex…

100% it’s cheap enough that everyone should do it. The TNXB mutation has a ton of weird drug interactions. Anesthesia resistant being just one.

You’re talking about phenotypes. With height people with entirely the same diets will end up different heights based on their genes. I used to think that intelligence was earned du…

This is absolutely world changing. I've known that this was coming and was only a matter of time, it did get here sooner than I expected. I have hypermobile Ehelers Danlos Syndrome…

Acquisitions. Say a big company lacks in category, an exec from that company can let a VC know that they would like to buy a company in that category and are willing to pay a certa…

Sorry, I misread as Edit #1. We know in certain countries in certain areas nothing gets done without some kind of bribe / kickbacks so we assume some of finders fee we pay for lead…

I don't know of any firm immune to it and I've worked with a couple of the most prestigious and hear about many others. I've long given up wishing people were better. And unfortuna…

I was Applied Research, feature X was for internal use. The companies were supposed to be tallent and tech acquisition, they claimed to have feature X but were faking it. The 'tale…
