On top of that, with modern surveying and an RTK GPS base station you can get centimeter accuracy for very precise measurements of land, all by carrying a stick with a receiver on it. Most populated counties in the US already have a network running so you usually just need the receiver.
AAUI the basic laws can be expressed with dimensionless constants, and in modern physics c is a conversion factor for convenience. I don't know if there's a way to adjust all of the "real" physical constants conjointly which would amount to "just like the Standard Model with a different c".
OTOH it's certainly not incoherent to say e.g. "Newtonian mechanics, but relativistic, with a different c".
Not all investors are looking for the business to be profitable. NVidia investing in AI companies drives up demand for AI chips. NVidia is simply seeking to create a prisoner's dilemma around AI compute spending. If Nvidia is successful, then most of the money they invest will flow back into their coffers as margin + the forced spending by other parties to keep up.
Those numbers don't tell you that Squarespace is a pig with lipstick. It might be one! But, SAAS economics treat the ability to hit near-zero profitability as a feature of the business model, not a problem.
Here's why -- income is taxed, and growth is rewarded, heavily, in the valuation of the company. If every dollar of business you make is worth $6 (Roughly $1.2bn in revenues = $7bn buyout), and every $1 of new business you earn costs $1, then by spending all your cash, you make 5x on it. In the alternative, you can keep $0.78 / dollar, so the net gain versus keeping earnings is $4.22. I like that trade, and I'd make it as the CEO of Squarespace.
What's unusual about SAAS companies is how easy it is to manage this part of the business economics as compared to, say a bean factory. Much of the spend is digital marketing, and sales teams are much easier to scale up and down than say factories.
I don't think it's strictly an Asian thing. A lot of first generation Americans have this expectation. It's very common to see their parents remunerate money back their parents in foreign countries.
>One of the clearest moments I've ever had of not realizing my privilege was a conversation with someone who, once they started earning money, had to give money to their parents to support the household.
This was a ubiquitous practice in the circles I grew up in - Once a child was old enough to work they were expected to get a job and help the family with the bills.
What kind of first world insane fanboyism is this?
Cellphones have got us deep in the 'use once and throw away' world of electronics, but the idea of just throwing away things like laptops once the software world has bloated itself once again is insane to me. I've rescued tons of computers by tossing more memory/new SSD in them keeping them from adding to the growing pile of e-waste, and allowing someone use of them that otherwise would have been unable to afford them.
Yeah, I do take it with a grain of salt since it's a very convenient propaganda story, and it'd be a stretch to say that he formed his political platform just 2 years before actually being elected.
This is insane. I can't imagine (and be bothered to look if it's available) how much percentage of this is dedicated to marketing, but it must be a massive part.
If the receiver has some internal sensors that can also help (gyros of various kinds).
I remember as a kid my father was working on the first version of the Air Combat Maneuvering Range (this was back in the late 1960s.) This involved dogfights with simulated missiles and guns. To work, the system needed to accurately track the position of the aircraft. Radars on mountains around the range would give good positions in two dimensions, but poor vertical position (this axis was nearly perpendicular to the line from a radar to a plane). The solution was to add a pod to each aircraft with various gyros and incorporate this information via a Kalman filter. Nowadays such a system would just use GPS, much simpler.
So if you gave each family of four a 50x100 foot plot of land (i.e., 5,000 square feet of space), then you could fit eight such plots per acre (with 3,500 square feet to spare for communal space) -- because an acre has 43,560 square feet.
So you would be able to fit 32 people per acre, and since Texas has 171 million acres, you would be able to fit 5.4 billion people in Texas. Since the world has more than 5.4 billion people, we will have to conquer Mexico or Oklahoma.
Long story short, there will be plenty of space left over in Asia.
The switch to ARM Macs only happened 3.5 years ago, plenty of Intel models still in service that would benefit from a RAM upgrade if it weren’t soldered
Many domains didn't actually transfer to squarespace until very recently. Mine all finished transferring last week (it's probably a coincidence though)
My Grandmother , 96 years old, got her Furniture from her Grandmother. That furniture is more then 100 years old and still in good condition. The downside is it sucks hard. People at that time liked good looking things that where rly uncomfortable and impractible compared to furniture today.
As far as I use the term, extremists are people who advocate for tearing the system down via revolution and rebuilding from scratch. They have no idea what it takes to build this modern world, but they love the idea of guillotines.
