An event venue that wants a swanky "authentic" chandelier hung from a high spot? Maybe a church or other venue with dozens or hundreds of candles that need to be lit and extinguished? Restaurants that otherwise have to have a serv

Somehow when I was learning Linux/UNIX 13 years ago, my default way of grepping for something in a file became `cat foo | grep bar`. I've tried, a bit, to break this habit, but can never stick with it. The only time it slows me do

The crack in Larsen C grew around 30 kilometres in length between 2011 and 2015. And as it grew, also became wider — by 2015, yawning some 200 meters in length. It feels pedantic, but honestly something so fundamental as confus

As someone who just last night set up an Ubuntu 16.04 server with the intention of using ZFS, should I wait until this hits the Ubuntu repos? Is it possible to enable this encryption on an existing filesystem?

My wife and I have been using YNAB for almost four years, right after the most recent non-cloud version was released. The biggest thing it has helped us with is accounting for regular but infrequent expenses, with respect to having reasonab

The Oculus and its ilk happen to work great for certain classes of games - just about any vehicle-based simulator (racing, flying, etc.) where your immediate reference frame is static is perfectly suited to a 3D headset. I hesitate to call

Hmm, maybe "everyone" in his context was really "everyone who has a Tesla". It's been a minute since that conversation, but the gist was that Teslas are popular because of subsidies, but cold-weather battery tech is

My '08 Honda Fit may be interference, but it also has a timing chain that /should/ require no maintenance for the life of the car.

Anecdotal, but I was speaking with a friend from Norway about 18 months ago, and he mentioned how you see Teslas everywhere because they are heavily subsidized and gas is ridiculously expensive. However, he said everyone also has a winter c

The first half of your post reduces to "know how much the prospective employer is willing to pay". Anchoring high only works if you know what "high" is. If the recruiter had a 150k-200k range in mind, and you throw out 1

You say 9.5-10.5% net of defaults - have the non-defaulted loans all been repaid in full, and if not what portion of them are still outstanding?

That's my point... if you're a U.S. citizen, even if you don't live in the U.S., you still pay U.S. income tax. Edited to say, I agree with your larger point though. This situation is ridiculous, and income earned outside the

> How much income tax do you pay to countries you don't live in? If you're a U.S. citizen living and working abroad, but spend 35 or more days in the U.S. in a given year, then the answer is - the same amount as if you lived an

I believe that says a lot about the beliefs that go around -- that cops are somehow more honest, and noble (and so are the troops). I can't help but think that the root of this phenomenon is the adversarial nature of policing in the

Of course, Nader is not really alone. The Ecuadorian Civilian Space Agency (EXA), which he founded in Guayaquil in 2007, counts on about a dozen other engineers, and despite its name, it is partly owned by the Ecuadorian Air Force. Makes

I find this to be a useful example of the dangers of so-called anonymized data (namely, the danger that it isn't). I'd be curious to know how much fuzzing of the percentages published by Buzzfeed would've been sufficient to p

The "Ghost Gunner" really is a small, general purpose CNC mill. The gimmick here, if you will, is that it comes with the code and the bits to do a certain job - but there is nothing specialized about the mill itself, besides maybe

Somewhat interesting that Kai decided to include only the contiguous U.S., on a map about visualizing the true size of various land masses. I poked around for a minute, and it turns out Alaska and Hawaii combine to have the same surface are
