Quite a bit of it materializes in one way or another, many years later, and no one mentions which/. story the new tech is being used it, but it happens all the time.
Seems pretty simple to me, people who own houses do not want to be next to apartments. This also means it devalues a home if an apartment is to go up next to a home. Apartments tend to be nosier, messier, and have more high transient tenants who don't care about annoying people. At least if someone owns a house, they have a vested interest to keep their home.
I live in a small city where the average house hold income is about $40k/year, and you can buy a pretty nice house for $80k. I've had apartment neighbors making $70k/year who were almost always 2-3 months behind on rent, made a mess of everything, toys littered the lawn, got into other people's lawns, the kid ran around outside screaming to high hell, I have no idea what their kids did at night but I could feel my apartment shaking and banging and kids laughing and yelling at 1am on the weekends, their cable was shut-off every other month due to non-payment, they had brand-new vehicles, brand-new plasma TVs, brand-new game consoles with a lot of games, huge movie collection, constantly ordering delivery.
I can understand why people with homes would rather have only homes around their's. It helps keep out of the riff-raff. Ohh, and I love up north, so nearly everyone is white. Most black people around here are well educated, well mannered, much nicer to be around that most of the white trash.
I've seen pensions claim bankruptcy and everyone who depended on it lost it all. At least when I have a 401k with a financial institution that is 130 years old and a track records of excellence and ethics, I am less concerned about it randomly folding. Even if my company didn't use this institution, I could transfer my 401k funds to them. Can't do that with a pension.
I was always told to 'take time off', but there was never time. Always another project, always another emergency.
We recently had this issue at my work when they wouldn't let anyone in the engineering department take time off for almost a year. Right when the project went live, HR stepped in and said these engineers HAD to take time off. The engineering manager got into A LOT of trouble when a huge portion of the engineering staff was out on vacation time at the same time for almost a month strait because HR said engineering overstepped their bounds. CEO was not mad at HR, that was HR policy created by the CEO. You have to use at least half of your vacation time each year. HR will not allow you to work once you've reached your limit. Yes, this is paid time off.
Needless to say, the project went live, lots of bugs were found, and no one was around to fix them. Lots of band-aids created, phone center getting hit hard, but HR would be damned if those engineers didn't get to use their hard worked vacation time.
Engineering had some restructuring after that indecent.
I'm sure plenty of hospitals abuse their position, but I've seen hospitals where "not overworking" their workers means people die. Strange ethical dilemma. Town is too small to attract more workers and too poor to pay a regionally competitive wage, yet there is still demand for people to not die.
I was under the impression that more recently, salary job is more of a "service" oriented job where output cannot be counted easily, but is critical for the business. You can pay someone hourly and expect X number of stuff to be done, or you can pay someone to stand guard and pay them for how many hours they are watching something, but then it comes to paying someone for their creativity, that cannot be measured.
Much of the work I do is very subjective in its value. I don't so much get told what to do as "here's a problem, solve it". There are many says to "solve" the problem, and there are many ways to implement the solution, both aspects are very important.
Decisions I make now about one project can dramatically affect other future projects. Most of my time at work involves thinking, very little doing, and I can't be constantly thinking, so I need a lot of down time. I have no idea how someone would put an "hourly value" on that.
Someone could see me browsing the internet for an hour, are they going to say "he wasn't working! why are we paying him?". That was my mental down time. The concept of getting paid for hourly work breaks down when you can no longer tell if someone is working at any given moment.
You're only guaranteed to be compatible within a version number..Net 3.x has syntactical sugar that did not work with 2.x, but it did compile down to 2.x compatible bytecode. It may have been confusing, but there was no point in making another framework that the only difference was it refused to work with different version numbers, but was otherwise 100% compatible. Your argument was to call it 2.2, but that wouldn't work either, because of certain guarantees that MS places on major version numbers.
Looks like that site is a joke. Nearly every benchmark out there is wrong. Bad implementation, configuration, or code..Net ASP is quite fast, but I would rather use something like nginx+node.js
Don't worry, those outsourced overseas programmers are so bad they can create negative value. It's more like guaranteed work for you to clean up after them.
What do you mean by "normal Earth-like gravity"? The "surface" of a black hole is where gravity is nearly the speed of light. the only good news is that for a large BH, the gradient would not be very drastic at its surface, but it would still be c.
Some people define black as a total absense of light (photons)
This is a bad definition because it cannot happen in our Universe. All you can do is compare the "brightness" of an object against another object and define the "darker" object as being "black". But no object can be completely void of emitting photons, only less and less of them, approaching zero.
Yep. Seems a 1 solar mass BH would be 60nk compared to the 2.76k cosmic background radiation. A BH the mass of the Moon would break even.
Wiki: A black hole of one solar mass has a temperature of only 60 nanokelvin (60 billionths of a kelvin); in fact, such a black hole would absorb far more cosmic microwave background radiation than it emits. A black hole of 4.5 × 1022 kg (about the mass of the Moon) would be in equilibrium at 2.7 kelvin, absorbing as much radiation as it emits.
From what I've read, averaged over many years, the flu shot reduces your chance of requiring a trip to the ER by 50%. For any given year or given person, they don't know. This also means you may still get sick with the flu, but you're 50% less likely need a trip to the ER, where you may die.
It's quite normal for a house to be considered "condemned" if it does not have grid electricity, running water, or heating. You house NEEDS to have the basic features expected for a house, if you're in a city. It's not so much for you, as it is for someone else. If you were to suddenly die or otherwise not not be the owner of your home, the next person coming in should not have to make any changes.
Similar idea with education. Around here, education is a requirement. Not educating your children is considered child abuse. Starts off as fines, but can turn into losing custody. Until your child, no matter their age, has graduated from an accredited high school, has a GED, or can pay for an apartment, YOU are 100% responsible for them. They could be 30 years old and living on the streets, but if they don't have a GED and can't afford an apartment, you can be charged with neglect.
They need to "increase" the fixed rate because it needs to reflect that the solar users use less power and the "fixed costs" of delivery aren't being fairly covered by these users..... Well then, why not just make the "fixed costs" be correct for everyone?
A single $100/port fiber chassis has more bandwidth than all of the USA could use right now during peak hours, and that's divided among only 2500 users. Unless you're proposing 2500 home users need more than 4tb/s of bandwidth. For reference, Netflix is about 30% of peak USA traffic and is about 1tb/s.
Bandwidth density is not an issue unless you're using archaic copper.
The problem with SSDs is that the data is not written linearly. They have a kind of internal filesystem to map the visible sectors to the flash memory.
Newer mechanical HDs are always starting to do this and the SMR drives do this extensively, even more so than SSDs.
My 120GB "game" drive has 0.27TB written after 8 months. My 256GB OS HD has 7.85TB written after 3 years, page files will eat it up! I probably use a lot more than the average user.
With modern SSD wear leveling, sequential reads aren't sequential. They remap LBA sectors around to free logical blocks within an erase block. Even if you constantly wrote 1 4KB block of data to the exact same LBA constantly until the drive wore out, it would be fairly uniformly wear leveled, even if the rest of the harddrive is filled with data.
The controller is just as likely to fair on a regular HD. Overall, SSDs have 1/2 of the warranty claim rate of mechanical HDs. Samsung is so sure of their SSDs, they have a 10 year warranty on their new ones, or 150TB written, which is a lot of writes for a 128GB drive. Show me a mechanical drive with a 10 year warranty for under $150

You could say the same thing about a person selling anything — his house, car, bicycle, anything — not just labor.
Selling is the transfer of wealth, labor is the creation of value. Big difference.

In the same way FireFox is the same as Chrome

Cloudy skies typically mean lots of wind. It's very rare to see both no Sun or no wind, but it does happen.
