If you found the title bewildering (I sure did), it might help to know that "Sweetgreen" is apparently a restaurant that sells salads.

A tool whose purpose is to transcode should be asking the user to select explicit input and output formats, not guessing.

In that case, you should be explicitly asking the user what the input format is.

As usual for "3d printed house" stories, there's no mention of reinforcement. Is this just unreinforced concrete?

I'm not saying there aren't earthquakes. I'm saying actually feeling/noticing them is extremely rare in my experience. Maybe I have just lived in exactly the right places over the years. Probably many happened when I was

I have lived in California for something like 33 of my 36 years. I have actually felt a grand total of 3 earthquakes in my entire life. Even out here, quakes big enough to shift the wall decorations across a large portion of the state are v

I'm one of those people. The thing is, I try again every decade or so, and every time without fail there are issues. Intel is the 1990s Apple of the CPU world. "It just works", and I'll pay a fairly high premium for that

It's a factor in whether "219.43 million people" is a lot of people. If that's 219 million people in the US (i.e. well over half the population), that's obviously massively more significant than 219 million people w

I get where you're going, but I think you need to go back more like 200 years at least. 100 years ago our impact on whales at least was very clearly evident to anyone remotely paying attention.

I only skimmed this particular article, but the problem it discusses isn't relevant to glass, in which the particle shape doesn't matter. Am I missing something that makes it relevant?

My point being that they are such small companies that they weren't even viable as independent businesses. It's a joke to think that they could even remotely scale up to a viable Boeing competitor in this century.

Thanks! Really looking forward to it. I play Bannerlord on PC with settings pretty much maxed and my recollection is that 1000 is about right. A 4x (or more) improvement over that is seriously impressive.

I think you mean Textron and General Dynamics. Cessna and Gulfstream haven't been independent companies for 10 and 20 years, respectively.

Cool looking game. Added to my Steam wish list. I'm curious about the scale of the game. Aside from the unique concept, the combat reminds me of Mount and Blade quite a bit, but the scale looks larger. How many individuals are there on

I have been wondering for a while now, what benefit to the general public do acquisitions actually offer? I'm increasingly convinced that actually making acquisitions illegal is good policy.

It's definitely AB's lander. That's the whole purpose of the CLPS contract that NASA used to pay for it. I'm on another NASA team that is "customer" of AB's for their Griffin lander. The degree to which AB

I'm sure they will learn a lot. Unfortunately as far as I'm aware they are going to "try again" in about a year with their Griffin lander carrying NASA's first unmanned moon rover. To the best of my knowledge there&

NASA QA is hardly involved. This is a feature of the CLPS process. We're trying to get to a point where "basic" space services like moon landings are a commercial off the shelf product we can buy.

Presumably the "with layover" is something crazy like a Delta flight that goes via Atlanta. You can get some pretty crazy routing sometimes if you pick the wrong combination of airports and carrier. United has a non-stop with week

As far as I can see, there's no real way to communicate this preference to airlines. I won't book a flight on a MAX, but the airline can change the airframe at the last second and it's highly situational how willing/able

At this point there's a pretty clear implication that if some Boeing people had gone to jail that time maybe this wouldn't have happened at all.
