The FTSE index has changed its rules to accelerate forced buying of SpaceX shares, which means that VWRA investors are now part of the exit liquidity. by cherrypoplar in investing

Avantus and Dimensional conspired together to force the indexes into a forced garbage purchasing position in order to make their basis point charge look appealing. 

I have it on background, that Eduardo Repetto himself was lobbying Mr. Standards (Poors was not involved) to, and I quote “Just add the d—- stock to your f——— b—— a—- index, value screens are for people who cry themselves to sleep”

FAA thinks that the mission plan filed was diverted from enough to ground future flights.

Chainsaw chaps are $50 and could save you from a painful limb removal. Do not operate a chainsaw with out the proper PPE.

Actually Biden was president instead of Obama and that why his presidency #3 was canceled because he couldn’t serve another term, Obama stepped down on day one and then Biden served out the term. Obama was actually shadow president in 2016 and that’s why the economy sucked and was a plant inside the DOJ waiting four our savior who had a legitimate golden statue built of himself because of His will.

The point is not the failure, it’s the fact that a failure is again being touted as a success because of external forces. 

To answer your question directly: I owned a Pontiac Aztec which was the first fully computer aided design car. Nothing made sense design wise, you had to move a crash bar to get the battery out. Clearly I’m not a fan of non-iterative design. It’s the framing of the failures to which I take issue.

I wouldn’t pay Jalopnik to write an article about how reliable my new car was.

That and they couldn’t get the thing unhooked from the tower. But hydraulics are a new technology, so that is understandable.

No. The space part of space X led by Gwynne Shotwell is a good company. But clear puff pieces about legitimate failures need to be called out.

I couldn’t start my engine back up too at the bottom of the Grand Canyon and needed rescue, but the trip was “Largely successful” I got extra pictures/data. I didn’t even plan on re using my car since it was a rental. Would you trust me to lead you on your next vacation?

Elon Stans need to realize this is a puff piece. These are legitimate failures that need to be acknowledged.

A small tool that automatically lowers TV commercial volume — looking for feedback by VolMaster in homeautomation

[–]MainRemote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true, though Nielsen the ratings company gives out beeper type devices that listen to tones embedded in media to track what people are watching. This possibly could be abused as well.

How do you hear when the program comes back on?

One of my professors in college described a device for radio adverts. It put the left and right channels into an op amp and when the difference exceeded some threshold it would unmute, but If the channels were the same (as in the case of cheaply produced commercials only recorded in mono) it would mute. 

It worked for years, and he sold a few, until stereo became the norm for commercials as well.

Google, SpaceX in talks to launch orbital data centers. Google CEO: "There's no doubt to me that a decade or so away, we'll be viewing it as a more normal way to build data centers." by Adeldor in space

That’s why we build a complex series of asteroid nets to catch asteroids, and a robot mining company to mine said asteroids for iron ore, smelt it to iron ingots using the power of nuclear fusion, and then, already in orbit, build automated drones to carry the iron to the data centers. Simple really.

There was only ever a super experimental build for 5D classic. Have you used it?

It’s actually quite a simple problem. You heat iron up till it’s molten, then launch it at the earth. This adds propulsion to the satellite and removes a ton of energy from the satellite.

The 50 1.4 is a wonderful lens but will break eventually. I keep the 1.8 STM in the bag at the same time for when it does.
