AXE bow is competing hard with Ulstein's X-Bow design. There are some interesting journal published papers on both, and IMHO Axe bow seems to perform better in most conditions.

Example CFD analysis of Axe bow trimaran performance: https://ijtech.eng.ui.ac.id/article/view/4659


The main disadvantage of the X-Bow is that ships need to be very high. This kind of bow can plunge very deep so you need protection against it.

Damen's AXE bow can also be used for smaller ships but ships need to be long.


In addition to bad management, the contrast of the CEO buying a $133 million compound in Bel Air while throwing employees out on the street is just too stark.

Serious question: Instead of riding the ETFs down, what if I sell investments now and move to cash/gold? Cash would lose value at the rate of inflation, while ETFs can drop 30-40% more if the FED makes mistakes.


I don’t we see another 30-40% loss, 20% the most. We’re already at a point where you could argue that an overreaction has happened.

But hey, it’s the future, so no one can really say anything about it :) I at least am gonna see through this one.


We can reframe this article's hypothetical doomsday premise to any state: "Iowa, the undisputed king of corn, will face a recession if there is a multi-year drought."


the correct analogy would be that Iowa’s state budget would be in trouble if it were overly reliant on taxes on corn - is that the case?


Zach, this telemetry approach is fine for Google Docs retail users but Warp's target customers are some of the tech savviest people on the planet. They are going to hold Warp to much higher standards of security and privacy.

Second, your user onboarding has too much friction with mandatory Github logins. You need an advisor / product manager who can guide you better when making these "human" decisions.


I think I speak on behalf of most computer people when I say this: we prefer our extra hour of sunshine in the evenings not mornings.


As a computer person, I really could care less when the sunshine is. I prefer my days to be exactly 24 hours. Not 24 hours +/- 1 hour.

Also, where I live there's a max of 16 hours of sunlight, and a min of 8 and a half. In the summer, it doesn't matter what the clock says, it's going to be bright when you wake up and bright when you go to sleep; so much sun. In the winter, it's most likely dark when you get up and dark when you go to bed, not enough sun that fiddling with the clocks is going to be really helpful anyway. Maybe there's a little more twilight in the morning the week after Halloween, and then it's back to morning commute in the dark. And it's pretty chilly, so while sure, I don't want to bike in the dark, I also don't want to bike in the cold, either, even if there is sun.


Why? I would say a large number of computer people owls, meaning they get up late and go to bed late. Permanent DST means you have to get up one hour earlier forever. Seems absolutely terrible to me.

It's also stupid from an astronomical point of view.


I've thought about this, being a night owl myself. I vastly prefer daylight saving time, but doesn't that mean I'm just getting up an hour earlier? Which I should hate, because I hate getting up early.

It's made me realize that my being a night owl is less about the actual time and more about how I'm spending it in relation to the rest of society. There's just something about being awake when others aren't that's preferable.


Absolutely. Fuck mornings. I'd rather not be awake before noon in the first place.

Also, some states would have a real problem with permanent standard time. Maine, in particular really belongs in the Atlantic time zone, as standard time puts sunset way too early most of the year. Having the sun down by 4:00 sucks.


Doesn’t that mean you should prefer standard time? DST moves the clock forwards, so the sun won’t be as high at, say, 7am.


My after work bike rides basically end in the fall, so I'm happy for the change.


Not for me. I prefer timekeeping libraries to not have to be changed. Ever. If they have to, should be simplified. If simifying, it should be in a way that doesn't cause grammatical issues.

Which this does, because now DST is now the standard time.


Nothing about timekeeping is simple, with or without this change. Not only do some regions already not observe DST (even within the same state/region); some switch to/from DST at different times of year (and this date changes from year to year).

For a timekeeping library (which likely uses a system-level source of data / the IANA tz database) this shouldn't have any effect.


Never in my career is there more chaos than around any type of change having to do with timekeeping.

It shouldn't be a big deal. Inevitably though, it always seems to bring the bugs out of the woodwork.


Ditto.


Speak for yourself, you certainly don't speak on my behalf.


My hypothesis is that perfectionism results from spare, UNUSED BRAINPOWER. It is an indication that current challenge is not big enough to occupy your brain, so you keep going back and grooming the little things over and over again.

Take on bigger risks and set bigger goals for yourself. When your pants are on fire, your brain will not care about whether your shoelaces are tied or untied.

FAANG stability and cushy salary does this to a lot of other people I know.


Agree that Fidelity is the most serious but they cannot help OP anymore. OP's situation sounds like his/her SSN and CC is circulating on the dark web forums.

OP, you should buy an Equifax or Experian credit package immediately, review every account, and put a freeze on your credit report. This will be the best twenty bucks spent in your situation.


Instagram and Google would not even have their SSN or credit card number (if OP is being honest about how little they used those accounts), so I don't see how you can conclude that one of those is the factor...


the google one is normal if you haven't logged in in years, especially if you're in a different place now. Google is perfectly happy to lock people out of their accounts with the correct password


Instagram, Google and Twitter probably have a different cause. Everyone gets accounts disabled on these services, if one doesn't use them often.


It can feel like you're being attacked with a list like this, but it's highly likely the tech items are just coincidence.


Shouldn’t requesting the free credit report from each bureau be the first step before going to the paid one?


Absolutely - don't use the paid one ever, that's basically submitting to their protection racket. It's a problem they created in the first place.


You can check your credit for free, and the freezes are also free.
