I've been doing computer security for over 20 years. A million bucks might be tempting if I didn't already have a job I like, and what some would call an overinflated sense of ethics.
When I was a kid, if my brother and I were fighting over the TV station, I'd switch check it to Univision and hide the knob. I would pretend to be enjoying it.
I'm not sure why my brother never questioned the fact that I *only* claimed to know Spanish when watching TV. He never hears me speak any Spanish when we were kids. These days I know enough to have a conversation, and to order fried dads because I confuse papas and papa`s. (Best I can write it without UTF16 support).
Yeah my brain was ahead of my typing. I was going to say in the city get omnidirectional, if you're further out get a unidirectional such as a log-periodic (often combined with a yagi).
Then point being you don't need to spend a ton of money. Obviously exceptional circumstances exist - being very far from a city, or halfway between broadcast markets, where you might use an antenna rotator.
Heck you can get a good idea antenna for the price of a *single month* of cable. TV antennas are simple things, inexpensive to build. Especially if you're in the city, do you need a unidirectional antenna (a pole).. Basically what matters is that they are exactly the right size.
That, and if you're in the city, get a simple unidirectional antenna; if you're far from the city get one that you can point toward the city.
Believe what you want. I'll be over here making kenels. I suppose you don't believe raid in Linux is real either. I'll keep building these things, and you can keep believing they aren't real.
But let me guess - you want a "Universal Basic Income", you want me to work even harder so I can pay for your assistance to sit there believing work doesn't exist. Is that about right?
That kernel function accepts a physical address and returns a IOMemoryDescriptor which your module can use. In this case, the module would use it do nothing. Just to make sure nobody else uses it.
> I think I I can help you find more waste heat than you have found. The Bugatti Veyron (base model)...
Darn, so close! It would be fun to tinker and see how much waste heat we can actually capture, but unfortunately mine isn't the base model.:)
On a more serious note, such a car can produce a lot.of horsepower *for a few seconds*. After a few seconds it either just goes to roughly 0 HP, or the driver dies and it goes to zero.
Either way, you can only put about 20HP to the wheels for an appreciable amount of time with a car on the highway.
MySpace alone has millions of artists. Apparently 99% of people don't want to look for good music, they want the record companies to find a few decent songs for for them. I guess that's why they only pay attention to the 0.01% of music that is handled by major labels. That and maybe the production quality.
> You probably forgot price:D > Anyway, I'm happy with my Mac Books
Yeah if it's the boss's money Macbooks are a reasonable option. Everyone on our office uses them and the only problems I've seen is when you get a bad bit in the wrong place on the RAM, you're screwed unless you paid for Apple Care. Can't replace the RAM and you can't use a kernel option to skip that byte, as you can in Linux.
One day I may get around to writing a *very simple* kernel extension to handle that. All the extension does it allocate some memory at the desired address and use it to - nothing. Just says it's using that RAM address, which means nobody else can use it. With billions of bytes of RAM, it's pretty common for a few bytes, a few addresses, to be unreliable. It's handy to be able to skip using those and use the 99.9999% of the RAM that is good.
The funny thing about it being impossible is that lots of people are doing it. You can certainly decide not to do it yourself. That's fine. It's very clearly not impossible.
On education, by the time I was halfway through school, the program had already helped me double my income, so I graduated with more money in the bank than when I started school. Many people don't do that. Many people get a degree in African History from the most expensive school they can get into. You don't have to do that. You don't have to do what most people do.
For example, WGU was started by governors of 19 states.
Tuition is $4,500 after the $1,500 tax credit. It's a state school in some states, just like University of Texas or Florida State, and all online. The final exams for many WGU classes are industry certification exams such as Cisco CCNA. That means that two years into school, I already had a couple of respected industry certs - and the knowledge behind those certs. That's part of the reason I graduated with more money than I started school wth. Two years after completing WGU, I make enough to easily afford my 3,500 SQ foot house. (As I mentioned, I will downsize in order to increase retirement savings).
You mentioned medical. My doctor referred me for an MRI. I called the place asking how much it would cost, since I have a high deductible plan (which saves money) and an HSA (which saves a lot of money). The MRI place my doc referred me to couldn't figure out how much the bill would be for about 10 minutes. Finally, they told me it would be about $2,000. I typed "Dallas MRI" into Google and called the first MRI place listed in the Google search results. They told me $850. Or $650 on the weekends and after 5:30. If I file the claim with my insurance instead of them filing it and waiting to get paid, $450. So the medical cost went from $2,000 to $450 with a phone call, and 10 minutes spent submitting the claim online. Most people don't call and ask about the price, but you can. The next year my needed an MRI and of course we used the same place. So that's $3,000 savings in MRI alone, by making a phone call to get the price.
> c. Housing. Want to live somewhere where high paying jobs are?
Dallas has perhaps the best jobs market in the country, certainly it's in the top five cities for jobs. Did I mention I have a 3,500 sq foot house in Dallas? So... yeah:) On paper, I've made $60,000 on that purchase over the last 2 1/2 years.
I did a couple of things when buying my house that most people don't do. Typically the buyer's agent gets 3% of the sale price for driving the buyer around to see different houses and such. I drove myself, and got half of that 3% in my pocket. There are agents that do that - they don't take you shopping and such, they do split their commission with you. I shopped my mortgage thoroughly, and worked with the mortgage company to get the exact mix of down payment, interest rate, etc and that matched my needs. I negotiated for the sellers tompay more of the closing costs, and did some other things to make it more affordable.
Probably the biggest thing I did for the house (other than saving up a down payment!) was I bought a house that the previous owner hadn't gotten around to doing little DIY maintenance tasks like replacing the washer in a dripping sink. The front doorknob, a $30 item, was old, no longer shiny, and gave a bad first impression. I spent $140 for someone to clean it - and probably saved $5,000 compared to buying a house that was already very clean. The bushes out front hadn't been trimmed for a couple years, so again bad first impression when you drive up. It took me 30 minutes to trim the bushes and make them look nice.
Overall, I spent about $60,000-$80,000 less than the value of the house based on square footage and neighborhood. This because the sink was dripping, there were still old fashioned Christmas lights strung around the sunroom in June, etc. I'm about half way done getting it ready to sell for $70K more than I paid for it and I have about 50 hours and $4,500 into it.
> If a company acknowledges potential liability... I would imagine the company would be in a much stronger position to defend against claims.
When they say "never talk to the police", they mean you. You should never talk to cops if you are ever suspected of anything.
>Imagine a merchant who sells knives and the clerk explains to each customer how the knife can hurt them. Is that company likely to be liable for a knife injury? I seriously doubt it.
Plaintiffs attorney is going to ask, in as many different ways as they can get away with, "so you knew this was a particularly dangerous knife, so much so that you felt the need to warn customers that you were selling a particularly dangerous product, yet you sold it anyway, knowing it was a dangerous product?"
The company's defense to a product liability claim is to try to convince the judge or jury that the product is not particularly dangerous. Grindr would say it's no more dangerous than a newspaper, as other commenters have said here.
Morally should Grindr do some things to improve safety? Perhaps so. That's a different discussion. Does admitting liability help you in court? No way.
If you wanted to, you could work 20-30 hours a week and have a single 20" TV connected to an antenna with no monthly charges like your parents or grandparents did at your age, rather than multiple 60" TVs streaming Netflix. Here in Dallas there are about 50 broadcast TV stations you can get without paying anyone a dime.
You can have a 950 sq foot house like your parents or grandparents had, instead of 2,400 sq feet. You could have one family car instead of two or three, and plan your weekly errand trip to do everything in one trip, saving money on gas, wear and tear on the car, etc. You can put the bread in the toaster yourself and toss an egg in the microwave (or stove) for 35 cents instead of paying McDonald's right times as much. Same food, just 85% lower cost.
Some people live only 30% better than their parents, having 50 broadcast stations instead of three or four, and work 20-30 hours. It's fairly easy to do if you want to, and you look up how on the internet, perhaps joining one of the forums where people who do that share ideas. Others similarly work 40 hours while saving 65% of their income for retirement, so they only have to work 10-15 years in their life. That's an option, a choice people have.
Personally, I don't go that far, but I use some of those ideas in moderation. I make coffee at home for 25 cents instead of paying $4.50 for a cup of coffee - a savings of 95%. I shopped and found the best value package for TV and internet, without any premium channels. 120 channels is enough for me; I don't need 250 channels. I bought a house for 40% less than the banks say I can afford. It's still 3,500 sq feet, though, so I plan to downsize this summer.
According to TFS, studies done with US government grants have to be open after a year, for example. Journals can curate and review the most interesting of the latest new research and be funded with subscriptions from those who want full access to the newest research. Those journals are signicant. Good or bad I have no opinion, but they are significant.
If it's changed to immediate open access, the paid journals pretty much go away. That's because anyone who gets a copy can post all the articles for free, eliminating any reason for anyone to subscribe. That eliminates the revenue source for the journals, and they dissapear (or maybe become full of advertising as their new revenue source).
I don't know if eliminating paid journals and the curation work they do selecting and reviewing the most interesting papers would be good or bad, but it would be a significant, and perhaps radical, change to scientific publishing.
-- Uninformed Guess follows ---
My uninformed guess about the best approach is guided by the idea that compromise, "the best of both worlds" is often best. You wouldn't want papers to be totally locked down forever behind an expensive paywall.
On the other hand, few people pay any attention to the tens of millions of free songs on MySpace because most people would rather have the labels find some *good* songs for them. They don't want to search through piles of crappy work to find something good. I would imagine research papers are similar - most people don't want to read a shit ton of crappy papers hoping to find a few that are useful an interesting. They'd rather than the journals sort through the haystack and find them some needles.
A balance would be that those who take the time to find the needles in haystack, the really good papers could fund that work by selling access for only a short time before the papers go open access. Maybe for a year.
I'm well aware that half of what I just said is foolish may be foolish. I'm an engineer, not a scientist, so I rarely need to read the very newest research - the freely available abstracts work for me, or papers that are a year old.

Cool. I see in that video the person landed on the middle wheel, with the nose wheel maybe, what 10" - 12" up? Then the nose came down as speed went down.
I would never pilot a glider. I like to have plan A, plan B, and plan C. "No such thing as going around" isn't my style when my life is on the line. I'll keep my Rotax as long as I'm in the plane. My favorite RC is my motor glider.
If you fly an ASK21, I'm curious about your speeds during approach, roundout, and touchdown.
The manufacturer says the ideal speed for the approach descent is 53, then you slow a bit during the roundout to level, then just before you touchdown you slow a bit more by raising the nose a tad.
Given the approach speed of 53, I figure after the roundout to level you'd be going maybe 48-50. A touch of backstick to touchdown would put you somewhere around 45-49?
Of course a glider is a tad different than a powered plane. The same ideas apply, but sometimes to a much different extent. I only have to be generally aware of *strong* thermals, for example.
I wonder if perhaps we have slightly different definition of "flare", as well as the extent of flare being very different in a glider with a 16:1 (!!!) aspect ratio, vs say 5:1. Anyway, about the videos...
The ASK21 has, of course, a tail wheel which doesn't touch the ground when the aircraft is sitting level. The tail wheel would only touch if the aircraft were nose up. In the videos, we see the nose well below the horizon during the approach. Then just before touchdown we see the nose rise, the tailwheel touch, then we see the nose drop to level. The drop may be easier to see than the rise, but we know that we started nose down, and we ended with a nose drop to level, so obviously we had to go nose up in between. Not by much at 16:1, but we definitely went nose up.
Here's the terminology I was taught: Nose down : descent Nose to level : round out Nose up, planting rear gear : flare Nose drops to level and main gear on the ground : landed
Maybe you think of the nose coming up (a bit) and then back to level as "an extended roundout" and don't think "flare"? Either way, I assume you know the tail wheel on the ASK21 typically touches, which means the aircraft is nose up. Some of us call going nose up to touch down a "flare".:)
You may have already discovered this, but the Mac has some traps for you re the hosts file. You can put stuff in there and it seems to work for a while, then it stops working. To keep it working, you need to put the info in a different file.
Or maybe I'm thinking of the resolver configuration. Anyway, check the docs - don't just experiment.
By the way, you're welcome to disagree with the FAA about the right way to fly a plane. You're just not going to get your license until you slow the fuck down and get that stall horn sounding at the end of your roundout.

You may have already discovered this, but the Mac has some traps for you re the hosts file. You can put stuff in there and it seems to work for a while, then it stops working. To keep it working, you need to put the info in a different file.
Or maybe I'm thinking of the resolver configuration. Anyway, check the docs - don't just experiment.
By the way, you're welcome to disagree with the FAA about the right way to fly a plane. You're just not going to get your license until you slow the fuck down and get that stall horn sounding at the end of your roundout.
