This is one of the frustrating parts of database software. Where can information about the ways to optimize these parameters be found (outside of random posts scattered around StackExchange)?

Suggesting someone waste $870 by buying 100x as many as they need is not helpful. Your numbers for the ESP are wrong - I can get one for less than $2. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-ESP8266-serial...

That's just the way it works. It cost a lot of money to develop rockets in the first place. Your comparison is simply not very meaningful.

I imagine the Brooklyn Bridge will be standing for at least a few hundred more years unless it goes underwater. Plenty of buildings in the mountains should survive.

The money funding SpaceX could hardly be allocated towards sustainable colonization of Mars in a more efficient manner. If you can think of one, please email Elon.

There are probably not many women here because it's not fun to be on a forum full of finance-obsessed manchildren and brogrammers unless you are one or identify as one. The actual benefits from being on HN are basically null, yet most

It sure is rich seeing a person who thinks hacking should be punished with death complain about webcomic layouts.

Cabbage Patch Kids and tulips wear out and disintegrate like any other organic matter. We will be lucky if bitcoin wallets from a decade ago are able to be cracked a thousand years from now.

How original. I imagine you can show how the tulip craze fomented great innovation in the floristry field, and spawned a few actually good products despite being inherently misguided?

Sure. But they never worked on airplanes, and they're only a distant ancestor to the jet and rocket engine. You don't see people investing in steam engines these days.

I mean it might be completely obsolete in five years. It has caused a great deal of innovation, even if much of that doesn't come to fruition.

The article is badly written, if true. The title is almost entirely unrelated to the content.

As is apparent here, most (software) engineers can only understand things as linear models.

> 1. No one asked for this. This is Paypal trying to make a payments app social and people staying for the payments app despite the social feed. PayPal acquired Venmo through their acquisition of Braintree.

The Xperia phones and E-paper offerings are products where Sony could have been competitive with the market leaders (Apple, Amazon), partly because they were among the first to market, but they chose not to spend much on R&D and thus lo

No wonder Sony can't compete in the hardware realm.

~2.3 GPa, the max mentioned in the paper, equates to around 20k atmospheres of pressure or around 300k psi.

FYI: "much" in your last sentence is misused, and should be left out. You could say "it's very much a visually appealing presentation," but the current usage is just wrong.

This is definitely not good advice.
