Thanks! I will see what they have. Didn’t know Harvard offered free courses.

Some tropes of the 80s and 90s: Teenagers ignoring their family while listening to a Walkman. Dads reading the newspaper and ignoring their family. Moms talking on the landline phone with friends and neighhbors. Nerds reading comic books. Dads playing golf. Mom shopping. Teens just “hanging out” at some random place like a parking lot, near a lake, under a bridge, behind the band hall, etc. Smoking. Crossword puzzles. Jigsaw puzzles. Cards.
You can vote for more than one candidate, but you rank them by order of preference. This way, third party and independent candidates actually have a chance.
Horizon Forbidden West. Went on sale earlier this week.
I try to remember that we’re voting for an entire administration and presidential appointments, an apparatus much larger than one old man. It’s cold comfort, but it’s something.
As I’m watching it, Mozart’s Requiem in D minor is playing in my head.
Upvote for semi-unpopular opinion.
I think you’re wrong about the shortage being ‘solved’ by NAT. NAT is great for LAN and WAN in the developed world, but there are billions of folks in remote developing areas where it’s not much help. It also severely limits the big chunks of address spaces that can be allocated to business, universities, governments, etc. It is not a trivial problem waved away by NAT.
I think it will continue to be a very gradual but relentless rollout of IPv6. Not saying it will be fast. But 30 years from now, if we haven’t destroyed civilization, I suspect IPv4 will be a quaint relic. And IPv6 will never run out of addresses.
That is fascinating. I wonder if the wavelength of green light is better because of something akin to harmonic resonance.

Kyle uses “son” a lot. Makes me chuckle.
Researchers will be studying Trump and his followers for decades to come. A gold mine of data to help them better understand the mechanisms of authoritarian populism and cognitive dissonance.
Cool guys use dialup BBS.
Yup. They violate HIPAA all the time, too. Rules for thee, not for me.
These things are less safe, yet I see people driving aggressively and recklessly more than ever.
That’s not what we’re talking about and you know it. False narrative. The article specifically mentions violence and bullying. If you don’t know that fat people also get viciously bullied on top of the “concerned about your health” from loved ones, you are the one who is isolated from reality.
Skyscrapers typically take 2-5 years to build. I’m going to hazard a guess that a pyramid like the Great Pyramid of Giza would take more like 5-10 years.
There’s a lot of variables to this, especially the location and the source (quarry) and transportation of the high-quality limestone that you would need. You would also want to use some granite and other stone materials if you’re trying to match what the ancient Egyptians did. (If you’re allowed to use modern concrete and steel, it could change things dramatically.)
The Great Pyramid is about 147m tall and 230m wide along each side. Assuming it’s mostly solid stone, You would need roughly 2.5 million cubic meters of material.
Preparing and grading the site would go much faster with bulldozers and graders and the like, but is still a time-consuming process. Quarrying the limestone would also go much faster than the ancients because we have explosives, hydraulics, etc. But there’s still a lot of precision cutting and fitting to be done. Cranes would make placing the stones go faster but again, still time-consuming.
CAD software would also make the whole project faster and easier (and would further highlight how ingenious the ancient people were with this accomplishment). Experts already know a lot about the pyramids, but I bet if they built one they’d learn even more.
My wild guess is: if you marshaled enough resources and put a highly competent person in charge of it, you could get it done in 5 years.
Niche <> bad.

You know you’re right, we’re nothing like reddit!!
Meanwhile, bosses: Imma need you all to come back in to the office…because reasons.
If Biden gets re-elected, and behind the scenes it’s really Kamala Harris and/or Jill Biden in charge… I’m OK with that. Trump will accelerate all the bad things. From climate change to hollowing out the working class to kissing Putin’s ass and worse.
