Extreme individualism does not explain in any way high taxes and redistribution (benefits, food stamps, high tax returns to low income families). Extreme individualism would be low taxes and zero social benefits. Loneliness and individualis

Unrecovered money should be converted to extra years in prison at a rate of the average salary in the country. That would be a few hundred years of prison, right? Good enough deterrence for people to do bad things with money.

I noticed during the years that the people that cheat in the interviews are not afraid to lie on results or steal colleagues' work and pretend it is theirs. When enough managers are fine with that, it becomes an internal open secret on

$8k is a small punishment for what the application is doing. Not for the bug, but for the upgrade process.

If you consider what is the cost of "adapting" I bet your discourse would change. EVs have massive consumption, way bigger than lights, computers and AC/heating combined. In my part of the world (Eastern Europe) the usual pow

The grid will never be ready for that, but smart charging may be the solution. What do I mean by that: there is already a number of solar panel installations that are feeding the grid at daytime, sometime even more than what the grid can co

That is not how it works, with modern tech having the foundries and designs is not enough to fabricate products that work.

I don't think that companies like Netflix are interested in WiFi to serve massive amounts of video :)

Probably not, BSD network drivers were a bit more advanced than Linux ones as some companies (like Netflix) invested time and effort in optimizations and monitoring. I am not saying BDS is better, just a few things are quite different vs Li

You could save some energy by catapulting a plane at a reasonable acceleration, like a glider is launched with a ground tractor wire. I flied gliders this way and I think the acceleration was not worse than a regular airliner. Problem is, t

No. It is not the takeoff as in "raising the wheels from the tarmac" part that is consuming most energy, but reaching the flight altitude. Real case, with smaller plane, I take off in 300 meters in less than 30 seconds at max powe

From experience you are very right. Also from experience, most teams are not good enough to write the code with that quality that you can give up to referential integrity.

The Cessna part is wrong, I can reach over 4000 m in one. The only problems are lack of pressurization and the quantity of fuel to burn to get there, not actually reaching it. In a good day (cold weather, air more dense) it can get even hig

I saw many times notice longer than 6 months; the record so far is more than 2 years, but these are special cases: - very high level people like VP level or above - 6 months during which they fully onboard a replacement - a former colleague

Poland has 3 months for some cases. It is unusual in the rest of the world. In Romania you give 2 weeks notice as an IC and 4 weeks as a manager. It can be shorter if the company agrees, but it cannot be longer by law: you can tell them in

No, the number for gasoline is missing one zero; with the correct number, gasoline is still 6-8 times more energy dense per kg.

Average plane cannot fly with batteries; the weight is still too high compared to jet fuel and the range is too short. Only short flights of up to 1000 km and 90 minutes will be in reach initially, jet fuel minus efficiency loses is still o

For 10 Gbps equipment look at Mikrotik switches, a 4 port SFP+ one was around $130 when I bought it and the PCIe NICs were $50 a piece. I used DAC and AOC instead of UTP cables, they were $20-$50 each depending on the length, I paid for the

Why do you keep 5-7 external drives connected at all times instead of a NAS with all that storage, RAID5/6 or equivalent, and 10 Gbps network interface? Also the 2-5TB drivers in the drawer look like a pretty big risk of failure, the s

You can do a capacity test quite easily, that will only tell if the capacity is the rated one. You will have to check for physical signs of bad cells, they enlarge (bloat), but that means you need to open the case (sometimes it will void an

It seems this is the effect of some law Californians voted for, so they want it. It would be a shame for the citizens of CA to move somewhere else and vote the same thing there.

1 Gbps fiber optic with unlimited traffic in 2 places, one in the capital city and one in a small village in the mountains. Another one over GPRS, ~150 Mbps down and ~ 25 Mbps up with 200 GB/month of traffic. About $10/month each.

In Romania writing books reduced the prison sentences by months, not days. Writing a book is not even hard because there was no problem to get "help" from outside with the content.

Some days even a fairly large system (15-25kW) will output just 1-3 kW; the extra cost from 10KW to 15 kW is not 50%, but maybe 20%, so sizing a system, smaller or bigger, is a calculation that gives different results to different people ba

So instead of looking for the root cause of the problem (probably many factors, not just one), the government is doing what a stupid government is always doing: throw some money at the problem hoping it will be effective enough to win the n
