Just recalled one of my several questions i had when i was a small kid to which i never got any answers, so here's my kiddy question
can it be that.. we are beings living inside another huge-living-being and working for it under some laws. like the way we have cells in our body working for us, we could be something like cells working in this huge-living-being.
can this explain the multiverse idea i.e a universe inside another universe inside another universe.. and maybe finite in number.
Most Entrepreneurs are married - i guess is because they tend to marry first(the teen-age effect) and later on in life start up with some business; also i guess they have successful business(60% as above) as they tend to devote more time to business than family later in life.
I would seriously like to know:
1) How many entrepreneurs start up a serious business first and then get married - Do they prefer girl-friends over a wife ???
2) Having got married - are they able to devote the same time to their business
3) Are they able to devote equally good time for children, wife and parents(when they fall sick)
4) Are children, wife and parents happy with these entrepreneurs
5) Do these Entrepreneurs always have a supporting wife and supporting children OR are have their wives and children compromised on their own personal life for the success of the entrepreneur
Professional life and Personal life are two different things.. when you combine both; they together make up "Life" - or what accounts to as "Time of one's life"; and when one talks about both together; what one implicitly is talking about is one's "Happiness".
6) So, After 25+ years into entrepreneurship does the entrepreneur repent on having wasted life(time) OR is really happy thinking only about their business achievements.
7) How many such entrepreneurs having 25+ years of experience are truly happy with their professional life as well as personal life(wife, children, parents, friends). do we have any such numbers.
Personally i don't care about Karma on HN and what others Karma is. All i care about is good link to something useful - technically atleast. "Title" of the post matters a lot.
Discussion: guess somebody will post more links to some good technical material or post some useful comments.
He was spinning like crazy for quite some time - that literally had my heart beating like crazy - i was like - what's going to happen - is he unconscious - is the automatic parachute ejection not working - then; later was happy to seem him gain control on his free fall. :-)
Current Free Fall Record - 4:36 - and still holding
Felix's Free Fall time - 4:22
Short by 14 seconds. Guess he pulled the parachute, when his helmet wiser started fogging up. Would have been great to have him break the existing record after having jumped off from a higher altitude than the earlier record jump. Good luck next time - to whoever makes the next jump.
I have huge respect for people who make this sort of call - deploy the parachute when it needs to be deployed, not when it would land him another record.
Like mountaineers who turn back before reaching the summit, because they know that getting there is only part of the effort.
As skydivers, we don't count. That's just the stuff from movies.
We have altimeters that we trust to tell us our height. But more than those, we trust our best altimeter - our eyes. Visor fogging prevents you from knowing how high you are - either by looking at your altimeter, or looking at the ground. And that's a very dangerous place to be - particularly on an unprecedented freefall like this one.
My guess is that Felix spent a while trying to get a glimpse at his altimeter. He finally saw enough to tell him he was getting somewhere close to deployment altitude, and decided to make the safe choice.
Okay, if he thought he was close to the deployment altitude then of course it's perfectly sensible to use the parachute. It's only if he was nowhere near it that I would question using the chute right away in response to vision impairment.
And I haven't watched any movies with skydiving, I just figured that if you were watching an altimeter drop you would be able to extrapolate for a limited time.
It's definitely an interesting question to consider. Our rule of thumb in skydiving is, "When in doubt, whip it out." You'd rather deploy too high than too low. There's a big hunk of granite coming up pretty fast that you don't want to interface with. :)
In Felix's case, deploying too high could be a huge problem as well. So I'd be very interested to hear why/how he chose to deploy where he did.
And yeah, under normal circumstances you could possibly extrapolate your altitude...but the problem is that once you can no longer see, you can't go back and get a good idea of where you were at prior to it happening. Visor fogging creeps up fast (even from 12,500'), and once it does, it's very difficult to even find a baseline from which to extrapolate.
>>> I want you to explain something to me. Pick any topic you want: a hobby you have, a book you’ve read, a project you worked on–anything. You’ll have just 5 minutes to explain it.
I am an experienced technical guy. In case of technical interview if somebody starts away with that kind of question; i would take that in a negative way. I hate it when interviewers instead of being focused on their requirements focus on unnecessary things. As a job seeker i would like to be felt that i am required for the position; and that am not just a guy seeking money or a change in job. I would like to have the interviewer ask me questions for the job-position that i've applied; such that i feel motivated to continue; and know that the interviewer is serious about the position; and is just not filling up vacant company position.
