Prestige is meaningless. What matters is (relevant) knowledge and experience. Any university, assuming it’s not just a degree mill, will be able to get you what’s actually important.
It’s like Klingons and honour. Only the ones you don’t want to be around care about prestige enough to let it influence their (hiring) decisions.
How does anyone know for certain where the South Pole is if the only people to claim to have visited it are lying?
How do people know the South Pole isn’t in Antarctica if they’ve never been to it?
No, Antarctica is a continent which contains the South Pole. People have been to the South Pole, if Antarctica were actually just an ice wall the South Pole would not exist and so would not be possible to visit.
Which ice wall? There are lots of walls of ice in the world. The South Pole is in Antarctica which (depending on where you approach it from) can look like a wall of ice.
There’s ground below every point on Earth. There just might be some water on top of it too. Also Antarctica is a continent with ground underneath the ice. The North Pole is the one without ground (immediately) below it. Hence the Arctic Ocean on maps.
If earth is round
🤨
Anyway, we do send rockets left or right. It’s required to get into orbit, since basically orbits are something moving fast enough sideways so that it always misses Earth. We don’t send rockets down, obviously, because that would be into the ground. But if you’re talking in cardinal directions then yes, we do fly rockets in all directions. Polar orbits are called that because the satellite flies north- or southwards.
The reason why rockets launch facing up (opposite gravity; not north) is because it’s more efficient to leave the thick parts of the atmosphere before getting most of your speed because of drag. You could launch a rocket parallel (tangential) to a point on Earth it’d just take a lot more fuel. Space planes do technically launch like that, but they use the atmosphere to their advantage by using wings (lift) to gain height.

Redirect links are tracking links and should be banned imo.
It’s also worth noting that these do not come with dedicated GPUs. The best you can get is a high-end integrated GPU, which is pretty good these days but definitely not good enough to game well around 4K 120Hz
I don’t think it makes sense to permanently stop people from posting certain questions. Answers to questions are affected by who is in the community, how the question is asked, and recent world events. Over time, those factors change.
Take “What’s your favourite ice cream?” for example: would you get the same responses today as you would’ve gotten last year, 5 years ago, etc.? Maybe some company just released a new hit ice cream flavour that’s trending on social media and you’ll get a lot of answers talking about that. Maybe there’s vanilla shortage and all the boring vanilla folks are forced to try other flavours. Or maybe the vegan community finds the thread and submits all their much better ice cream flavours (shout out to coconut milk ice cream).
If you really want to avoid the question getting asked over and over again to the point where everyone is tired of it, I think it would be better to set a minimum time limit before a question can be re-asked to make sure the answers will be different enough since the last time it was asked.
“Men” is not a race and it’s not even sexist. It was just hyperbole that some people chose to take seriously to be offended. Though there might be some merit to it sounding a bit like victim blaming since it’s advising potential victims to do something that they’re unlikely to do, which could be weaponized to blame them for being a victim later.
Maybe you should read the article, because the increase in Linux users correlates with a reduction in Chinese users.
Sad to see, but extra sad that they made no considerations about releasing their servers
Slop overflow, for when the slop machine can’t lie to you well enough
(Proposed) Direct Energy Converters
There’s also another heat -> electricity conversion method used by nuclear fission reactors, though it could presumably be used for anything in place of a steam turbine: thermocouples. Usually people think of them as electrical sensors for heat, but they can also scale up to produce a lot of electricity from a lot of heat. It’s not very new technology either; Voyager spacecrafts use it in their RTGs. No idea about how that scales though.
I’m not sure that I’ve phrased this question well, or that I even know how to ask this question well.
Consensus seems to be no, you didn’t ask this well. I think you could be onto something but you didn’t communicate any information to argue your point.
I think the problem comes from your premise. The WWW is not something that can have an information management strategy, good or bad. The WWW is a communication system that allows us to talk to other parts of the world, it is not the servers that the WWW talks to. Even if the servers were the WWW, they aren’t run by just one group. Anyone can run a server that connects to the WWW. This makes it impossible for there to be a single information management strategy; instead, every server has their own information management strategy. You also fail to describe what you mean by an “information management strategy” and what you consider to be a good or bad one.
And now, some editorial notes:
Once upon a time, I looked at the web as akin to an igneous rock, whereas now I think of it as a sedimentary rock.
Starting with a metaphor is fine, but without context (either before or after) it doesn’t mean anything. E.g. “Once upon a time I thought I was a duck, but now I think I’m a goose” sounds profound but it doesn’t actually contribute anything to the conversation.
The web has changed a lot in the last ~5 years. Sure, it can withstand a nuclear blast or whatever it was designed to withstand, but it clearly wasn’t designed to have usage patterns designed to endure.
You’re misunderstanding what was designed to withstand a nuclear blast. Web servers are not the self-healing communication standards that connect them.
Also, you use “designed” twice which makes it sort of tautological. I.e. “it wasn’t designed to be designed”.
For me, the thing that really drove this point home
You still haven’t stated a point. You’ve only asked a question up to this point in your post. You then bring up some anecdotes which you probably meant to support your point, but a reader can only guess what that point is so it’s confusing and unhelpful.
Anyway, I mention all of this because my first impression was that humans sought to record what was known so as to build upon that. Now, my impression is that the digital commons got turned into [a] forum of captive buyers without the language used ever changing, so it’s a shift that’s difficult to detect.
Is this your point??? It doesn’t have anything to do with your original question. If you’re going to argue a point, then please introduce it before you provide information to back up your point. While a standard essay layout is not required, the idea of an introduction, supporting information, then conclusion is always a good logical flow that everyone can follow.
By the end of your post, I’m still left wondering what information management strategy you want or what improvements you want to the existing one that the WWW uses.
The article briefly talks about female drivers too, which is what I talking about.
Women drivers can toggle on a preference to receive trip requests from women riders, giving them even more control over how they earn.
(and the image/gif seems to imply it’ll exclusively accept rides from women riders)
But yes, if gender is self-declared then it’d be pretty easy to abuse by a malicious rider (I assume, without proof, that drivers have to be vetted somehow). If they require a phone number for new rider accounts it shouldn’t be too hard to keep banned malicious users out, though. There are more foolproof ways, but they have other issues (e.g. ID verification is a privacy nightmare and potentially transphobic depending on local government policies).
It’s been a little while since I’ve used any sort of taxi service because the local public transit is pretty good, but I know a lot of the USA isn’t so lucky there either. That’s more of a cultural problem though.
On a semi-related note, it’s quite ironic that Uber made a change for only their home nation on International Women’s Day.
That also only solves half of the problem. Female drivers also want to be safe and doing background checks on everyone who has an Uber account isn’t very practical.
Seems like just a clickbait headline. It could easily contain all of the gcode for printing the book itself and not the part for printing the letters on the page.
But it might be possible to have gcode that (completely) prints its own gcode. Regular programming languages can do that, there’s a whole fun community around cool puzzles that use that. Obviously, this project does not do that.
