This is super cool. Made me happy to see what's up in the sky. Bookmarked for when I need a pick-me-up!
I think they were talking about the Flight Wall, which doesn't use Google Earth imagery, only flight data
Bet you'd have bought a lot of tulips back in the day
I have racked up some air miles in my time. I am not wealthy, and price is a major criterion, but there are some airlines and airports I avoid at nearly all costs. I wish there were enough like me to put pressure on…
the market can remain irrational longer than I can stay solvent
Also, the indoor park "tour" voiceover refers to "Thinking Machine supercomputers", which I never figured were a brand name until today!
Look, we are shareholders, but I showed how so much of the value generated by increased productivity never reaches listed companies, let alone their dividends. THAT is the key argument
The problem is, if you deviate too far from the index, your head is on the chopping block. There is no incentive to outperform the index, and every incentive to not meaningfully underperform it. Anyone bought into an…
fine, strip out the words "surplus value" and "reasonable" if they truly blind you to the point. Let's say, "If we had a tax system that captured a greater share of the increase in profits resulting from higher…
I'd be in line to buy today!
If they (and the rest of us for that matter) weren't burning so much of it, there'd be more left over for other uses. (with the obvious caveat that less demand means less production, which would mean there wouldn't be a…
The only way that'll happen is if deep-pocketed corporate buyers exit the market almost entirely, and therefore stop being the highest-available bidder. Even in a scenario where it's obvious to everyone that…
This was news to me. Very sad news indeed. I see now they were bought by Canva. That explains it...
_Something_ motivates them, though. They have been on a wild anti-solar bend the last year or more. Dozens of articles, all with the same anti-solar NIMBY bent
I'm using the drives, not hoarding them, so normal wear and tear is likely to be a problem before helium depletion enters the picture
Considering my helium-filled hard drives a strategic reserve now

For this particular person, the inordinate factor is not the frequency of flights, but the distance: 40 flights in 2019, mostly from the US to Austria via Frankfurt. Now, there are some jobs that really do require such…
Couple of things: 1) NO ONE is suggesting any one forego flying altogether, or skipping their once-a-year overseas vacation or periodic family visit. 2) THIS level of flying is not normal and is exactly the kind of…
"Do 99% of city-builder players care what shape the corner radius of the intersection has? Most likely, no." Finally, I am part of the 1%!
>Danish and Norwegian are not linguistically Germanic Where do you get that notion? My education (and some googling to refresh my memory) has Norwegian, Swedish and Danish classed as "North Germanic" according to…
It’s funny but it’s still AI slop. It also loves to add electrical boxes everywhere

Well, you CAN, yes, but then nobody knows what the hell you're talking about and at that point why should we even care
Yes, I'm not including deaths in the colonial periphery. That's a rather different dynamic to the domestic question. Your criticism of this simplified view is a valid and welcome addition to the conversation, though.…
