Huh, good question. I remember a forward in the book about the difference translations, but I will admit that was back in middle school. I still have the book. Perhaps I'll try to dig it up tomorrow.
I did however find a new translation online that sounds interesting. I remember all the scientific names suuuucked back then and even my copy said something along the lines of "abridged for sake of brevity" on one of his journal entries. Even my translation noped out of that.
There are many ways a book can be rare. First editions, signed copies, and books with little demand. Can't fire up the printers and make those again.
In the case of little demand, I have a book "Two thousand leagues under the seas" not the more common "Twenty thousand leagues under the sea". It's rare in that it's very difficult to find more literal translation than the version we are accustomed with. I suspect search engines simply think I've made a typo. Either way, why print it if there is little demand or can't find the book?
Oof, I feel that. Similar for me, though I don't really think of my situation as employment, more "mehployment" as it doesn't entirely cover cost of living.
Off topic, but that blue/black graphic looks recessed about 1/4" into my phone screen.
Way cool!
No specialist or anything, but I imagine most of the kaboom potential is puncture-based. I don't expect much to make it to the heart of a train as trains generally win in collisions.
Pressure vessel fatigue is possible too, but generally rated and tested well above pressure relief valves.
The company building data centers in tents just rented them out for $10 billion?
I got to start taking laptops camping. Maybe I'll make my money back.
Subscriptions and enshitification walk hand-in-hand.
Purchasing updates for new versions highlights the value of new code and users weigh that with anti-features. However, subscriptions don't have to appeal to users with features or content rather leverage fear of lost function to retain users. FOMO is not a foundation for a businesses transaction and I hardly subscribe to anything.
I gladly pay more for one time purchases.
Well, AI ain't my religion so pop that shit.
Bracing? Looks like someone just woke up. Silicon valley chews up and spits out low income workers for decades. It is the extraction/denial of wealth to the underclass, along with other factors, that makes this area appear so prosperous.
I don't think sending a couple drones to canvas a city grid from the sky would count as less useful. In fact, it'd be a lot faster than strapping a camera to a truck/car. Really depends how they are used. But worst case scenario, both drones and fixed cameras work in conjunction, which they obviously would.
