I think the Martian was adapted well from book to movie, so I have hope for this one. That said, compressing the entire story into a theatre runtime is tricky: I think it would be a win if only half of the character and relationship growth of the two ship bound protagonists comes through in the adaptation (because it was sooo good in the book!)
True - but I think that might make the adaptation to a movie easier, not harder.
Like GP said, I think the trick to this book is in the relationship between the 2 main characters, so hopefully they nail that. Judging by the trailer they made it all quite humorous.
In the market for internet service, Starlink is a disruptor to existing ISPs. Especially for those servicing rural areas. I don't understand a reflexive reach to encumber a nascent business model with additional regulations. What problem are you trying to solve?
E.g. DSGE models are still rather popular with academics and practitioners. And the classical economics is largely how economists popularize their field and justify policy.
I took gp's use of "opera" to describe an inclusive, wide range of genres that feature human relationships, like space operas. There's definitely mass appeal (think of Star Wars alone.)
If you took star wars and removed the action and acting and it was just a bunch of philosophical arguments written in a book then not many would like it. We know since there are many such books and they aren't very popular compared to the star wars movie.
I'm rooting for him too. He doesn't have all the qualities of a classic protagonist, yet I find myself hoping that he succeeds in his madcap endeavors. I admire his grit: I would have not had his fortitude in the face of violent threats nor withstand the constant frustration.
I believe OAuth is working as expected. It provides valid authentication/identity for email addresses because "user@domain" and "user+wildcard@domain" are still validated as email addresses "owned" by the user.
The issue is with the Google org website: admins cannot revoke credentials for accounts/emails they cannot see.
> Because these non-Gmail Google accounts aren’t actually a member of the Google organization, they won’t show up in any administrator settings, or user Google lists.
I'm curious what part of ICANN's mandate is a failure. My understanding is that introducing new TLDs was part of it.
> 7. The Creation of New gTLDs. The Green Paper suggested that during the period of transition to the new corporation, the U.S. Government, in cooperation with IANA, would undertake a process to add up to five new gTLDs to the authoritative root.
In my limited math experience, I really found an appreciation of the number one. My favorite part of high school algebra was realizing that "solving for x" was often just a repeated exercise of multiplying each side of the equation by a "clever form of one."
Solving for x often entails multiplying both sides by the same number, not necessarily one. Perhaps you're referring to simplifying fractions where you do often multiply by a clever form of one?
> It reads like someone had a bad experience with a PM who thought they were Steve Jobs.
I had the opposite understanding about the article. Steve Jobs was an extraordinary leader who through immense will power created good products; an attempt to replace someone like Jobs as the product manager with an ordinary person will result in a mediocre product.
According to the book Breath by James Nestor, humans did not always have wisdom teeth problems: today, modern humans have small jaws because, during our youth, we spend less time chewing our food, so the muscles and bones in our skulls are stunted. Old skulls, like those found in crypts of old European cities, had larger jaws. (I'm going off of memory - my apologies if this explanation is too reductionist.)
The mechanics of oral health are really interesting in regards to foods and chewing them. It seems like processed foods are likely a massive contributor to declining oral health. The more you need to chew your food, the better, from what I can tell.
Our foods used to be way harder to consume. Not only would that lead to people having healthier teeth and gums (just like your pet dog!), but it likely helped people maintain healthier body weights as well.
I think the point is that it is very painful and the treatment provides relief, so not much of a scam.
Everyone responding is coming from a place where they were impacted by wisdom teeth, are you instead talking about extracting wisdom teeth as a precautionary practice, before they become a problem? Because otherwise it reads that you are trying to tell people that they are mistaken about a problem they have experienced.
Probably an emotional topic too, given how painful wisdom teeth can be.
Maybe you've just had crap dentists. 30 years ago in my late teens I had exactly one wisdom tooth removed and I still have the others today. It was removed because it was coming in perpendicular to the other teeth, starting to push on neighboring teeth, and that was extremely visible on an x-ray. The others were coming in fine and the dentist left them alone.
I had impacted wisdom teeth and bad mouth pain from 14-18. It was so bad I couldn’t chew on the side it hurt on, when both sides started to hurt I went to the dentist. It was so bad I could only chew with my front teeth at times. He realized they were impacted and removed them.
My friend never had an issue and still has his wisdom teeth, his siblings were not so lucky.
