I recently joined a new team and company, and the senior person became threatened by me (I am stronger and would have become the tech lead), and he started bullying me. I switched teams. It cost me time and reputation. I didn't know

The smart switches and outlets have microcontrollers and other fragile logic and will convert AC to low-voltage DC. A normal light switch will tolerate quite a bit of a surge, but these switches will not be happy.

I wonder who here remembers self-extracting zip files under DOS/Windows? They put the zip file into the executable file. And you could extract with a normal unzip program, I believe.

How resilient are smart systems to voltage surges? Do you risk blowing out all of your smart switches and outlets during surges? There is the possibility of installing whole-house surge protection, but that only protects against external

I live in Menlo Park in the Bay Area, and have given specialized jobs to contractors that drove 2 to 3 hours to fix my house. These guys target this area, despite being so far away, and use phablets to stay connected and maintain their Yel

They aren't toy magnets, which is part of the problem: people have internalized that these are toys, which leads to hazardous situations. An educational campaign is surely something that needs to happen.

Android Studio becomes unbearable once it starts garbage collecting, which invariably happens while typing code and code completion kicks in, yanking you out of the flow. It is the one piece of software I would give 64 GB to last a day with

The squat and deadlift are great for the back, as long as you use proper technique. See Starting Strength by Rippetoe. You should be able to sit on any chair without back pain. An ergonomic chair is no answer --- it is a crutch that helps t

That might make sense if it were isolated, but this is a covert aggression that one adds to a heap of daily transgressions that are similar. You can't avoid spending emotional energy on it: the unconscious mind has already integrated t

Professor Stearns at CMU says that the definition of morality is that which the lower classes and ethnic minorities are not (it adapts over time to maintain this separation). That explains lots of what you mention. He wrote The Battleground

An alternative way to look at it: the value in the network is due to the networking effects, which is contributed by the network members --- the value provided by the two corporations is slight in comparison. This is the same as in propert

I'm not sure how you found interesting people. Maybe luck? But people that work all day and then come home and hide in their apartments/homes, avoiding community contact, can't be interesting. Is it interesting how they expr

Neighborhoods of single family homes can also establish HOAs, and they can become hotbeds of covert aggression. I believe that the parent comment was referring to this scenario since it is easy to spy on neighborly behavior.

You require the seller to put money into escrow to cover bad customer experiences. This of course makes it harder to become a seller, which could also be a bad thing (for example, to incorporate in some countries requires putting $50k in t

Tesla has a history of addressing safety in a way that no other manufacturers seem to prioritize for (given that car design is over constrained and you have to compromise somewhere). I would be really surprised if the Bolt earned 5-star ra

I wish it caused oversteer! The reason front-wheel drives are so pathetic to drive is because it causes understeer, but which is what also makes them safer than rear-wheel drives. I have an e-Golf with loads of torque at the front wheels,
