The Shuttle cost $48 billion to develop in inflation-adjusted dollars — contrast this with the ~$5B spent on Starship development thus far. It’s hard to defend the claim that NASA is or ever has been under-funded.

"A generation or two ago" roughly corresponds to the Tamagotchi era too.

Yeah - I had a dental bone graft a few months back and I certainly hope its a once in a lifetime thing!

NB No criticism of the dentist that did it - took two dentists and an assistant nearly 5 hours and they have an impressive amount of kit...

Are they expensive to build, or are they expensive because nobody else is offering hurricane proof housing in the area?

The author's post explaining why Python was chosen: https://browserbook.substack.com/p/why-python

>This product looks more versatile. Being able to automatically tie it to meeting status or set pomodoro timers could make it more interesting.

Seems this one automatically enables "Busy" if the microphone is activated on the device, though I can't see any reason a similar product couldn't check your calendar

There's a big difference between tolerance and friendship.

I'm so incredibly thankful that there are people like Pavel and Chris putting effort into articles like this. You are truly the best of us

When launching a tech startup, DATA IS EVERYTHING. I used to rely solely on to track basic metrics

- - - -

But I soon realized that wasn’t enough. As a startup, you need to dig deeper to truly understand your users.

You need insights that go beyond the basics…

insights that allow you to make informed product decisions boost engagement and deliver a user experience that converts.

That’s when I discovered .

With Clarity’s features like , , and insights, you can see how users interact with every part of your product. And the best part? It’s !

For any tech startup looking to succeed, leveraging data is essential. Knowing exactly which elements on your site grab attention or where users drop off helps you optimize the experience, iterate faster, and scale more efficiently.

If you’re serious about growing your startup, you need more than just page views. Start using the right tools to optimize your product.

I’ve also shared a GitHub repo with setup instructions in the comments below so you can get started tracking with both Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.

Pro tip: When building a startup, using the right dev tools and frameworks can make a big difference. Check out DevVault, a great resource to help developers streamline their tech stacks.

Having a repeating free review and treatment is above basic care to survive. Both compared to many other places in the world now and historically.

That depends on the granularity of your proof steps. That old joke doesn't hold for a very long time now (take a look at Isabelle/Isar proofs), yet people keep bringing it up.

Nice! Posted a few issues! Also when quitting with cmd+Q obviously it quits comlpetly Google Chrome, which is annoying :)

If you're a chess grandmaster then you're good at a game.

and why does it have 'how to connect' plastered all over its supposedly user-facing back? why have initial setup stuff end up just being always there? or more annoyingly, exposed for others to fiddle with it? (if it's gonna be used in places with other people around)

Two stories.

1) Just went to a an acclaimed dental school (UNC) for low cost dental care. They not only gave me a panoramic x ray but also a full set of bite-wing x rays. I read this and I want to break the world apart this morning.

2) When I was a child I kep needing root canals. It turned out our dentist was making these all up and was later found passed out from laughing gas in his office.

Hey everyone, I'm working on an automated fact checking service that works like so:

1. Paste a link to the website, X or facebook comment you want to fact check,

2. Select a quote on the site,

3. We search for relevant results from research databases, reputable news sites and searches on the web,

4. You get a web page with the quote, fact check rating, summary of the findings and sources,

5. Share that generated fact check page back to the source, so people can be aware of the relevant information.

This is a work in progress (currently a landing page) and I'd love to know if you are interested in it (it's worth me continuing to work on).

Would love to hear your opinions or ideas

The issue with these "discrimination" lawsuits is that fee shifting provisions mean that if you lose, you pay their lawyers, but if you win you get nothing. So lawyers file these cases and ask for 90 pct of what it would cost you to bring the case to trial, and then spend infinite amounts of time and effort on discovery. It is legalized extortion

They recently increased 1st class prices to reduce demand, because lack of crowding is the main selling point.

It's not quite that simple. The line isn't quite as hard between seed and 'nut'. Namely people may commonly refer to things as a nut when it is a seed.

e.g. a Peanut is a seed, as are almonds, cashews, walnuts.

As a CS graduate, I've always had a related inferiority complex towards "real scientists" like biologists, chemists, physicists who confront the real mess of reality, instead of our cozy self-made thought-castles as computer people. We live in a world where everything is intelligible in principle, if we take the time to dig into how it works; they live in a world of true mystery. However, I take consolation in the fact that seemingly CS can touch the esoteric and mysterious regarding computability and computational complexity.

What skill? Skill of ignoring notifications? And a lot of tasks don't require lots of communication.

Thanks, that's exactly my thoughts too while designing!

Glad you like it! Phosphor Icons is my fav too!

Will reduce the icons grid to make it easier to scan, thanks for the idea!

Not as much as meta, no. But AI21 labs is partnered with Amazon and did a ~$200M funding round last year IIRC so still plenty of funds for training big models

I love my Model Y, and the supercharger network. The charger network in the US is so much better than any of the competitors in terms of reliability, why would I support the others? The other car manufacturers constantly roll back their hollow promises to electrification, while Tesla has been all-in since day 1. Why would I support Tesla's competitors? VW lied and lied about the emissions their cars put out, why would I ever buy a VW car? On and on... I'm happy with my choice of a Model Y, and I'm not compelled at this point to choose a competitor for our second or next car.

That is the mitigation for the new CQ features. But still does not prove that sudden shutdown in the middle of a write or another command will not still kill or corrupt your sdcard like it used to do.

Well, they did set up the database to receive all the information.

So they're clearly aware it's happening.

What beneficial outcomes are gained from such behavior by the contributors?

The real fun is in intellectual engagement, but if thread is generated by bots and commented by bots as well, all I can see is a fake depiction of activity.

However, I understand that, my perspective of beneficial activity could be limited.

I’ve played enough fallout, I’m good
