For the collectible toy problem, how much money would you save if you paired up with someone else and purchased meals until you both had all 4 toys? My intuition says going from 1 collector to 2 collectors would help significantly (like queuing theory).


Hm. I'm sad nobody answered this. I'm also on my phone and in a bad position to give an exact answer. However, rolling a few scenarios[1] and counting manually, I get 16 meals on average, with a standard error of 5. So not conclusive by any stretch, but it seems like it's roughly as expensive to be two people as it is to be one person.

Oops miscalculation -- mean 14, standard error around 1. So at this point I can fairly confidently say it helps to pool the effort of two people, though it helps maybe less than one would think coming from queueing theory.


Where did you get the info about the key travel? I have an X1-Carbon Gen 6 and I feel that the key travel is good, but I wouldn't mind a better "click" feeling when I hit the keys, like in a Macbook or a Surface.


> 6GB of DDR4 RAM. It has a 64bit CPU

More like a phone from 2020. The Samsung Galaxy S20 base model has 8GB of RAM (the S20FE has 6GB)


I'm wondering why the top 3rd of the booster didn't frost over? It looks like the bottom tank is full, but the top tank is only a quarter full. Assuming that each tank takes up half of the ship.

Edit: someone in the ars forum said: "Looks like the are loading more LOX than LCH4 for mass. I assume to counter thrust while avoiding having more methane than needed for safety and environmental reasons."


Can waydroid work in docker? I like to try out apps in docker. Recently I did it with the heroku cli. Much simpler use-case though.
