I hate to tell you this, but all money that exists in the money supply is invested in products, services, and jobs - unless it's stuffed in a mattress somewhere. Wealthy people do 'hoard wealth like a dragon', by definition -

"Stepping suddenly from lower to higher power, such as when a cache is missed or a new core turns on, causes a large current step and parasitic package/board inductance, which means a correspondingly large voltage drop." Woul

It's because when you're young, you're just happy to be making it on your own. But I'm not sure everyone does reach the second stage. Some people seem to be content just living their lives and enjoying themselves without

I think the author of this article is onto something when he says "such euphemisms do not come close to the 'truth' of warfare." But I think that maybe we use the euphemisms on purpose in order to distance ourselves fro

Not only is the article overblown IMO, but it's also irresponsibly written. A lot of people suffer from insomnia and sleep anxiety. They don't need to be told that missing sleep is dangerous. They need to be told that missing slee

The most consistent interpretation IMO is 'person who engages in self-mastery to overcome obstacles'. I think that interpretation also jives with why he was so critical of pity and humanism: because he genuinely believed that some

Do you have any data to back up the claim that it's "a far more expensive language to develop software in than all of the alternatives"? I feel like most scripting languages are pretty similar in terms of productivity based o

Speaking of GPS, I've always wondered what their explanation is for how GPS works if there's no globe to speak of. Are the satellites in orbit around the flat earth? :)

I also stuck with CRTs long after everyone else abandoned them for TFT panels which I mostly hated. The widespread availability of IPS panels with decent viewing angles finally convinced me to switch, though.

I think the original MS Flight Simulator was essentially a licensed version of subLOGIC Flight Simulator. Side note: subLOGIC also made another combat-oriented one around that same time called Jet which I think used the same engine as MS FS

In fact, if there's any 'death spiral' in cities to speak of, it's the one caused by the War on Drugs and tough-on-crime policies which have led to mass incarceration. People in low-income areas have few income options.

I can tell you that most vintage radio and audio guys generally don't bother replacing ceramic capacitors even on 70-80+ year old equipment, so my guess would be 'a long time'.

Of course it wasn't necessary, strictly speaking. An invasion may have worked (at probably an even greater loss of life). Waiting things out a while longer might have worked as well, but again may have resulted in more loss of life d

An ophthalmologist would be the best person to go to, because they can dilate your pupils with eye drops and inspect your retina very closely to look for abnormalities. That being said I believe CSR generally resolves on it's own excep

I'm not sure the author is taking into account observation time and the orbit diameter of planets. In other words, it could just be that planets in similar orbits have similar sizes, which would be roughly consistent with our own Solar

Yea. I don't see how it isn't a reductio ad absurdum either. If we're in a simulation then we know nothing about the physics or structure of 'the real world', including whether things like galaxies, planets, and evo

Nothing to worry about - the voltages aren't high enough in a tube amplifier. X-rays only come into play when dealing with tens of thousands of volts.

The main source of X rays in old tube televisions wasn't actually the CRT as far as I know - it was the high voltage rectifier and shunt regulator tubes. Later versions of some of these tubes apparently used leaded glass specifically

Who are you using for hosting? Amazon offers a free tier that could probably host this to start out with if you're currently using a computer in your bedroom or something. ;)

I feel like in the US it was. I still remember the first time I saw Super Mario Bros. at my friend's house. It's hard to overstate how mind blowing that game was to me as a kid after being exposed to mostly single-screen arcade

It's because: A) The law seems to extend beyond the borders of the EU. B) It's extremely long and vague, doesn't really offer a lot of actionable advice, and nobody outside of privacy lawyers seems to really understand it ful

...and if inflation goes up, so does the cost of borrowing, unless banks are planning on loaning people money at below the inflation rate. There's no free lunch, unfortunately.

Japan uses 76-90 MHz for FM broadcasting, so my guess would be that most might be able to go down to 76 at least.

A lot of old point-to-point wiring and soldering does typically look kind of terrible compared to modern day electronics, probably because it was assembled by hand by workers just trying to crank stuff out out as fast as possible.

I think the main risk would be a deterioration in the government's finances since the government is expecting to get paid back and is factoring in those payments to the financial outlook. That could in turn lead to an increase in the
