Why do people complain about wasted white space on the side of their windows? Who said you have to full-screen every application? My slack window is about 1/3 of a screen, zoom a bit smaller, Firefox about 2/3 of a screen, Outlook

Ethos Capital has a mortgage operation. My experience with them lead me to the conclusion that their name does not imply "ethical".

I used to know an AutoCAD pro and watching him work was magic. He hardly ever touched the mouse and could type house plans about as fast as I could follow along. It seemed that a great knowledge of the commands combined with some mental mat

Based on this [1] citation from the HVDC article on Wikipedia, losses are about 3.5% per 1000 km at 800 kV. That would correspond to losses in the range of 40-50% for the 15,000 km cable in question. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org&

Thanks for sharing this. It's great writing and personally relevant as I'm currently en route to starting my own parenting journey. I didn't go to Harvard (and didn't even want to), but did enjoy much of the environment

I learned a lot about architecture by reading McMansion Hell and then paying attention to details on my drives around the city. It is a great educational resource and a good laugh.

Agreed, I think signs like this are a way of pushing someone's thought from "I wonder if they are ok?" to "They need help." In essence, it makes a situation actionable by an outsider.

A few weeks ago there was a conversation [1] regarding the utility of signals like this, with a common opinion that they are useless. I'm very happy to see that it worked! [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=289778

FYI this is a gift that requires knowing the recipient well. One of my aunts got me and my sister some scratchers one year and we were pretty disappointed, a few minutes later and we managed to turn $30 into $3. Maybe we would enjoy it more

I could not find any data on the actual levels, but there is data available on the effect on children. By the late 1970s "88% of children had a level exceeding 10 μg/dl" [1] while current data from near the Reid-Hillview Airp

Usually it is not quite a gift, where I work you get some bonus, something like $1500 for each patent with your name on it.

Not in my experience. There was a fire in the third floor unit of a building I was living in (one floor up and one unit over). It was a three floor building, so that was a roof unit. The firefighters cut vent holes and were able to contain

David Bull (in one of his YouTube videos [1]) relates a piece of similar advice he was given. An old carver advised him when he was younger to never scratch his face with his carving hand. Apparently accidentally impaling your eye is enough
