Yeah, I’ve played plenty of Civilization over the years, but I’m married now. I have a kid. I keep a note with what I’m doing because it might be a couple months before I play again. I could play more, but I want to spend time with my wife and my kid. Usually when I take time to play I want to play again the next night, but that’s often not feasible, and then it turns into weeks again.
The author’s conclusion has me wondering what would it take to build a really good new system? Could we make a paid version, at a cost users would find reasonable to grow to a large enough base, and one that is incentivized to find users the best links quickly? Unlike how Google has been moving in recent years
I get your point; I don’t really trust our closest Kia dealership and my wife’s Soul had the issue with the motor burning too much oil, which eventually killed the motor and took 7 weeks to replace. Kia paid for it all (including the Bolt EUV rental we wound up in which was my first long-term experience with an EV), but it was still a hassle. Still, I’m really interested in an EV9 when we’re looking at a new car.
That analyst doesn’t work for Broadcom; it’s a third party. It could say, “they charged as much as they could possibly get away with” but I think “prices just below the pain threshold” is stronger language in a business setting.
Burton Catledge, Launch on Demand’s CEO, said the study will focus on the Oviedo area to the south of the island nation and include flight corridor analysis, climatology assessment, physical security evaluation, airspace/maritime impacts, and frequency deconfliction.
That doesn’t make sense; they’ll have to worry about flying over Puerto Rico and much of the Leeward Islands from there. Launch from the north of the island and it looks like they could avoid most land quite easily.
I don’t really know if ARM adds benefits I’d really notice as an end user, but it’ll be interesting to see if this really goes through and upends the dominant architecture we’ve seen for really 40+ years.
I found these links that look useful from the St. Louis Fed and Census Bureau that look interesting; the Census in particular looks like they offer home construction data going back to the 1950s in Excel format. That could be interesting to play with.
I do seem to remember articles about how many new homes have been built since especially the ’90s as interest rates came down, and how much larger houses started getting. Also anecdotally, apart from your example of finishing basements, I’ve noticed more and more older homes on desirable property being torn down and larger homes being built in their place, some of the old homes being as new as the 1980s and rarely even newer.
It only took one shareholder to sue and invalidate his last compensation package. I suspect that same shareholder or a few others are game to try it again, especially if this time it’s coming from a more direct threat to the company and those shares’ value.
Hindenburg only carried 70 passengers at its largest configuration, and it could only carry that many because they were forced to use hydrogen as the lifting gas instead of helium because of American export restrictions. Hydrogen carries more but is significantly more dangerous, and likely would not be used in any modern aircraft because of safety reasons. Perhaps modern advances in lighter materials and other weight saving methods could help, but even 100 paying passengers doesn’t seem commercially viable.
Ah, I didn’t quite understand from the first picture. I thought this was like one of those loafs I’ve seen in Quebec where they slice the bread the long way.
