I guess if you're going to ask a question that dumb, it's best to do it as an AC.
Because the airspeed velocity of an unladen European swallow is approximately 20.1 mph (32.4 kph), or about 9 meters per second, and that isn't enough to get to the ISS.
I think one of the biggest misconceptions about a 4-year degree is the assumption that is must be completed in 4 years.
There are plenty of ways to get a bachelor's degree other than full time, on campus, full credit load. Many employers have tuition assistance programs that subsidize those employees that take either online or night classes. Some offer both tuition assistance and book fees.
If a bachelor's degree takes you six years by working part/full time and taking online and night classes but with no debt, is that a worthwhile compromise?
If the best estimates show that student loans will take 20 years at minimum payments to pay off, is it worth it to join the military for three years and then use the GI bill to pursue your education debt free? Many military basic and technical training courses qualify for college credit which apply to many general and elective requirements.
TL;DR There are additional ways to get a degree without full time, debt accumulating methods seen as traditional.
If we switched to employer based training, the employer would need contractual agreements with the employees to avoid what happened to my dad, and the starting salaries would be lower to cover the education costs and risk of an employee not working out.
There are actually programs designed to promote this type of training. The IRS offers tax credits under the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) program when hiring individuals that benefit from hiring opportunities like veterans, folks with disabilities, ex-felons, SNAP recipients, etc. Businesses that offer employment to help transition from government subsidized programs to working members can get a tax credit for their hiring and training. https://www.irs.gov/businesses...
Some states also have special minimum wage categories for apprenticeships. The lower wages reflect the period of time that the company is actively training the apprentice toward their journeyman status. Details vary by state and occupation. https://www.google.com/search?...
If you're curious about Plex and want to test a sample setup, you can use a Raspberry Pi (or other SBC) and rip a few of your own DVD/BluRay disks for testing.
Contingency planning is important for any hostile environment, whether it is for underwater habitats, mountain climbing, or space habitats. I'm glad they had a spare crew vehicle ready so they can bring the damaged capsule back for troubleshooting.
I'd love to try an experiment by populating as many websites as possible with the information "Ronald Reagan was the 38th president of the United States" to see if there is a threshold where enough unrelated sources can confuse these data vacuums.
(To save some of you a Google search, Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr was the 38th president of the United States, serving from 1974 to 1977.)
I don't know about the rest of you, but to me it looks like the sleeve of a knitted sweater with the cuff sewn shut. I guess the slit down the middle adds some functionality that would take a few minutes to add.
Agreed. The Seattle Museum of Flight has one of Mort Taylor's Aerocar IIIs on display. This flying car was certified by the predecessor of the FAA in 1956 as airworthy and certified for production, although he never found a manufacturer ready to mass produce them.
I love projects like this. Preserving and digitizing audio recordings and films from the early 20th century that will otherwise be lost.
One example recording I found was a version of Over the rainbow by the Glenn Miller Orchestra recorded July 1939, one month before the debut of the Wizard of Oz movie that cemented that song in American popular culture. Over the Rainbow
The list of digital items that the WTO covers can include many electronic items. The summary mentions e-books and video games, but other folks have mentioned other electronic items that might also be subject to custom duties.
e-books
video games
music
digital data
electronic blueprints
3D printer STL files
How-To guides
Things get murkier if you start to include other downloaded software
Office 365?
Music subscriptions?
Adobe suite?
Software development kits?
AI subscription services?
Red Hat Linux?
If the product is just bits and bytes, should custom duties apply? https://www.iisd.org/articles/...
How do you not cook the center of the cube when we're already throwing 70W into a single chip the size of your fingernail? Maybe central heat pipes that each layer hooks up to, running vertically through the die? And how much area per layer do you lose to that, at what increased manufacturing complexity (read: cost and reduction in yields)?
They partially answered that in the elpais article:
To demonstrate the viability of their design, the team made 600 copies of the chip, all with similar performance. The researchers used these stacked chips to implement basic operations, achieving performance comparable to traditional non-stacked chips but with significantly lower power consumption: just 0.47 microwatts, compared to the typical 210 microwatts of state-of-the-art devices.
That's a 400:1 power reduction by stacking the chips. Part of it makes sense. If you have 10 items about the size of poker chips, stacking them vertically means much shorter interconnects than if you arrange them flat and have connections horizontally between them. Waiting for a signal to propagate over traces three poker chips wide requires more voltage or current compared to the distance vertically. There are also possibly less capacitive interactions without the longer, parallel traces.
I don't know if that does the same thing or not. When I edit a bookmark I see the option to add a "keyword" that they suggest is to Use a single keyword to open bookmarks directly from the address bar
But, the Search Shortcuts section also says Choose the alternative search engines that appear below the address bar and search bar when you start to enter a keyword
Because I don't use keywords, I'm not sure of the relationship between Search from the address bar and Keywords entered in the address bar. (Mark me as confused)
If I were a realtor, I would have a virtual tour of the house showing the empty rooms. Then, if the customer wanted, I could also show the space with AI augmented furniture showing two or three decoration ideas. That nook under the stairs? Show it as a storage area, a study area, a small pantry, a pet station, a home automation rack, etc. The master bathroom? Show it with modern, classic, retro, painted, wallpaper, window treatments, etc. Same with other rooms that might be in the house: den, dinette, dining room, formal living room, game room. A good AI could show suggested settings for multiple locations in the house.
Many new buyers will mentally place their existing furniture in the home but struggle to think what to do with the extra space. One of the biggest selling points for realtors is getting the customer to start imagining themselves in that house.
The drop from 28% to 23% is only in the past year. If you look at the data in TFA you will see over the past 5 years, the drop has been from 77% down to 23%, a much larger difference.
The graph shows a downward trend over the last 6-1/2 years, down from 83%. I don't know why the summary only focused on the last year when the difference makes it seem like the trend is minimal. Look at the graph yourself to see the steady decline in payments.
