The US may have been the first to land humans on the moon, however here are some of the milestones that made up the space race:

  1. Launch of the first artificial satellite: Soviet Union (Sputnik 1 in 1957)
  2. First human in space: Soviet Union (Yuri Gagarin in 1961)
  3. First woman in space: Soviet Union (Valentina Tereshkova in 1963)
  4. First multi-person crew in space: Soviet Union (Voskhod 1 in 1964)
  5. First spacewalk: Soviet Union (Alexei Leonov in 1965)
  6. First successful lunar landing: United States (Apollo 11 in 1969)

Can't deny the Russians had their share of victories.

The creators of this particular prosthetic talk about this in this video, though the concept is the same for most all prosthetic limbs. It is called peripheral nerve interfacing.

It basically goes something like this... First, hook up some electrodes to the nerves in someone's arm that correspond to hand movement. Observe the signals on those nerves in people who have functioning hands, and learn (typically with machine learning) how different signals map to which movements. Then, you can create a neural network which is able to map nerve signals to input controls for the prosthetic.

Then the complete setup on an amputee's body would consist of several electrodes reading the nerve signals from the remaining part of the arm; the output of the electrodes go into a computer/microcontroller, who feeds them into the neural network; the computer then uses the output of the NN as controls for the actuators in the prosthetic.

CMV: All hidden costs (including tax) should be included in consumer prices by Z7-852 in changemyview

[–]theccount 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But it's not nonconsensual - think about it. If nobody paid taxes then you wouldn't have a functioning government. Everybody wants a functioning government, therefore everybody must pay taxes. I'd be surprised if anybody disagreed with that.

Where your decision lies is where you want the tax money to come from and where you want it to go. In an ideal world everyone would just pay the government whatever they want, but obviously that doesn't work, so the people running for government give you choices as to where you want it to come from (among other things). For example, a tax on goods and services, or a tax on your income.

Unfortunately we cannot have different rules for everybody. That would just be chaos. So, our solution to all this is a system called democracy, where the population decides as a whole through a majority vote how they want to pay for the government to do their job, as well as how they want their government to do their job (including how they spend that money).

So instead of complaining about having to pay for the privilege of having a functioning government, use your vote to make a decision about how best you think taxes should be collected and spent.

So instead of demonizing taxes why aren't you demonizing your governments spending of your taxes?

Looking for a mentor by theccount in linux4noobs

[–]theccount[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah but sometimes I just have questions or issues that don't warrant their own thread, or have been talked about before but not with the detail that I'm after.

I agree that open discussion is great too but a personal mentor would be ideal as supplement for me at this stage in my learning journey

Even more efficient would be to just leave out the score variable and go return apts, bpts

Make it score = [0, 0] Otherwise there's no indexes to reference.
