I think their world view just needs more information. Bill Gates is a horrible person, who has had an excellent PR team whitewashing his name for at least a decade. And unlike Elon Musk, he doesn’t step out from behind the PR team’s cover.
We just need to keep bringing it to people’s attention.
You sigh, but… Porn is the choice of the bonobo, not the chimpanzee, no?
Besides, the atomic bomb isn’t really a fair comparison - we set up a whole crash program in wartime to figure out how to make a big weapon, of course we used it as a weapon first!
Like I said, I tend to move like this regardless; this just lets it actually do something!
One is lateral movement, the other is aiming. My deck’s offline at the moment, so I’m going from memory… but now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure I have the right stick set to aim. Then I have the gyro set to only activate when my thumb is on the right stick. Big rapid changes in direction I use the stick and the fine adjustments don’t much matter; then for fine control I hold the stick still, with thumb on top, and physically shift the deck to aim. Sometimes bracing my wrists on my knees or whatever’s handy.
Then when I end up angled weird, I lift my thumb and settle back in. My play style tends to end up with me twisting around while I play anyway, this just lets me harness it a bit!
I have mine set so if I want it to stay still, I lift my thumb off the movement joystick, turning off the gyro control. If I still need to move, I nudge from the side where the sensor isn’t
Right, but in the daytime, the portion of sunlight that is scattered on the way through the atmosphere to a given spot is partially made up for by sunlight that was scattered to that spot away from other areas, which wouldn’t happen under this scheme.
I’m curious how much scattering occurs - I have no idea how to find or model that.
Thanks for the write up!
I’m curious how strong an effect atmospheric scattering would have, even after all that
…first this century?
Yeah, I’m just pissed that even with that they’re still head and shoulders above the competition
According to sources familiar with negotiations, Microsoft’s bid suffered as it refused to accept some of Israel’s demands.
…why is Microsoft the upstanding company here?!
This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this meme; but what’s it from?
…so do people not expect to upload their own rips anymore? Or is there a different process these days?
Used to not be a problem. But people transitioning use the same process to amend their records, so now there’s roadblocks.
They actually sent the school an amended certificate, and a doctor’s note explaining everything. The school just isn’t satisfied.
This is what doctor’s notes are for. And they had one.
Who’s renting to these guys? And how soon can we boycott them?
Hell, just pull the mask
Or he counted how many others were around
That’s what I was thinking - much as I wanted them to do more, it looked like the bystanders were being careful to do everything they could that wouldn’t invite immediate escalation - making clear they were filming, moving dropped material away when they got a chance, and generally slowing down the whole process considerably.
Fair points, I hadn’t considered the economic side of it; or even the mass beyond how it affects lift.
And not only did he see for himself, he wrote up and published his results.
