How about not drinking pop? I know a "just change your behaviour" response isn't fashionable, but in the case of pop... it's a completely harmful and unnecessary product.

If you pair it with this ultracapacitor bank, you can power it with a regular lab bench power supply. https://www.keenlab.de/index.php/product/kweld-ultracapacito... That's what I did for a custom ~600Wh pack

Look for thru-axle, they're standard on gravel-oriented bikes and mountain bikes, and are getting onto more and more of the road oriented bikes.

FYI: spot welding is a lot easier and precise using this welder: https://www.keenlab.de/index.php/portfolio-item/kweld/ With the capacitor module, you can easily power it with a lab bench power supply.

I agree that it's a lot more nuanced than my comment made it out to be. However, I've observed that criticism of Japan has increased more dramatically in recent time, and (not particularly nationalistic) people who used to have a

Right, Japan is still sooo unable to admit to what it did that even today, it's happy to initiate trade wars with Korea over refusing to recognize and pay reparations to the victims of their war crimes. And it would really benefit from

I'm not a pacifist in this manner, I think the current state of the world doesn't allow for NATO and aligned democratic countries to give up on military supremacy. Still, I'm perplexed and annoyed about Afghanistan.

It's Veterans day tomorrow so they've gotta publish content that's not about the pointless sweat & blood modern veterans spent in Afghanistan. As a vet myself, I'm not too into this year's commemoration.

It depends, stuff like videos critical of foreign countries political regime end up spammed by politically sponsored griefers to delegitimize them, exactly playing to your heuristic. edit: :^)

Lower tax bill, as you need to pay taxes on assumed gain when you exercise your options, based on the latest 409a valuation of each share. The lowest such valuation in a startup is usually early in its life, and during your tenure, the valu

I've seen a lot of people lose a lot of money because they bought into the "value the equity at zero" mentality. It sure sounds great and edgy to be blasé and just take your pay, but if that was true, you'd be better off

I read a lot of reassuring articles saying it's not a big deal, it's just temporary, etc. What's a plausible, non-doomsday scenario in which things turn bad; what does it look like?

Attributing this to stockholm syndrome is a bit convenient and reductionist. Stacktraces are better than just bubbling up, and yes a mechanism to minimize if-err could also allow for human annotations. I'd love if Go had a stronger typ

This, errors that are bubbled up should have some context added to them. Otherwise every error ends up being totally meaningless.

This news prompted me to do some quick math earlier today. My question was: > What sort of retirement can you get from a 401k-only strategy? So I tried and played to see how much of a retirement, in term of yearly retirement income in to

I like the idea but I think the concept of using technology to build big, low cost volume housing is mistaken. The act of concentrating affordable housing is not desirable and easily forgotten about. It creates ghettos. Watching interviews

It feels like Backblaze has been in the space for a while though? My uninformed picture of them was as a modest small/medium size business with a good niche product and probably some loyal customers type, not as an all-stop-sign-pulled
