principles of science and logic as far as we're "aware" apply "outside" of the "human experience"

On the contrary if you take a critical thinking course, you'll see that your logic does apply to the human experience

Unusual Maps 6 years ago

I've seen this map several times, but never really looked at it closely. What a devastating march!

I mean, I have already flown on them dozens of times prior to the catastrophic events, so I’m not really opposed to boarding them again after recertification.

Then again, it’s not clear to me what else they “covered up” or issues that this new article is focused on. I’d be happy for the FAA to delay them further and get to the bottom of this.

Today Tasmania is burning. Its fires are so large that a firefighting team was reportedly called out in New Zealand to investigate a heavy smoke haze that turned out to have drifted across 2,500km of ocean from the Tasmanian fires. Firefighters are confronted with 1,629km of fire front, with fires having consumed 190,000 hectares, or 3% of Tasmania’s land, with authorities warning there is no sign of the fires abating for several weeks, and the potential for catastrophic consequences still a distinct possibility.

Geez. Tasmania is beautiful, and that sole island contains many of Australia's national parks. EDIT: Hmm, this article is from Feb 2019

The OS0 lidar sensor: an ultra-wide field of view sensor with 128 lines of resolution

The OS2 lidar sensor: a long-range sensor with up to 128 lines of resolution

Two new 32 channel sensors: both an OS0 and OS2 version

Price: Starts at $16,000 with volume discounts available

I would LOVE to get my hands on this tech. Maybe in 5-10 years when the price comes down to commodity level for hackers to play around with. :-)

Since LIDARs impact airflow over the top of a car, is there a way to make LIDARs less spherical and more triangular or elliptical? How would that impact the scans and can that impact be corrected/recalibrated mathematically?

CA has income tax and the sales tax is just as high.

CA also has a property tax and capital gains tax.

Oh yes, and a business income tax, and a franchise tax... honestly curious if there is a tax that California doesn't have...

One Medical S-1 7 years ago

Same. I have a GP who takes 40-60 minutes per patient, and gets into detail of what’s going on. I felt he truly cared. Compare that to the ~5-10 minutes of my previous GP

Ya, I'm surprised it's not just a static landing page for consumers with ads. At .50 cents per user, that's only 80k users required to break even (ignoring the time variable there)

In my experience, it generally turned out those "really good" players were taking advantage of a glitch, and were kicked for that.. not for being really good. (server rules generally have a "no glitching" rule). Again, this is all anecdotal experience

I've seen some models in the $200-400 USD range, occasionally they have a sale, but their specs are pretty awful, even by smartphone standards. I don't think I've seen a pixelbook priced at 1999 €, I wonder if that's higher due to cost of tax/tariff/import?

Ken Burns’ fantastic documentary series on prohibition.

I love Ken Burn's work, but haven't heard of this one. Looks like it is PBS. Do you know if it is available to stream anywhere (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Disney, Vudu, etc?)
