I’m sure that there is some SEC filing that you can find on Edgar that describes the exact procedure that they’re using. I’m not going to look :) I really don’t think that this has anything to do with leap years or even the normal number o

In fiscal year 2023, Apple's first quarter ran from Sunday Sept 25 through Saturday Dec 31. That's 14 full 7-day weeks. In fiscal year 2024, Apple's first quarter ran from Sunday Oct 1 through Saturday Dec 30. That's 1

If improving longevity is the goal, then all prizes should be cash paid 30 years after winning the competition (but only if you are alive).

Call it environmentalism if you like, but there is a strategic advantage to leaving more of it in the ground, ready to be pulled up later on as the need arises. Norway doesn't need the money from additional drilling right now. They

The issue is less about whether what they did was right or wrong (I'll side with you and say that it was wrong), but that you've got so many potential ways to pay people yet not have them there (mentally and/or physically) th

I can tell you dozens of stories about people that were collecting a paycheck and were supposed to be in the office doing work, but were in fact at the nearby comic shop or movie theatre. Do you lock the doors to the office once everyone ha

People are still salty about the way that steel was pushed out of the market back in the 1990s. Especially in the sub-$1000 category (which was probably 90+% of the market), the aluminum bike that replaced the steel bike at the same price p

It appears that there would be significant questions about ownership and whether maritime salvage laws apply [1]. Remember that Earhart was a faculty member at Purdue University, the aircraft was owned by the university, and it was filled

I have no idea how to interpret that sonar image. Am I supposed to see what looks like an airplane when viewed from above? Because the Lockheed Electra didn't have swept-back wings. I don't think any airplane had swept-back win

The first city in the article is Cicero Illinois and is a terrible example! It's hardly your prototypical suburb - it's a 150 year old city that the metropolitan area grew to encircle. You can probably attribute Cicero's pr

Note that this article is from early 2020 and contains links about the F-35 that are much older than that. An updated article would be very interesting.

Whatever. People are so angry they can't see that there is other legislation coming out, and Apple is trying to position themselves well for it. Be shocked and angry when Google makes a bunch of Android changes that YOU WILL NOT LIK

This is just the first public round of a negotiation process. The EU is going to force Apple to dial this down to some level that the EU considers acceptable. Apple wants zero liability from the upcoming changes to the Product Liability Di

I do appreciate the writeup, but I feel as though there has to be a better way :) In my area, the most common HVAC system is going to be a gas-fired forced-air furnace along with a central air conditioning system. What do you do there?

I don't get the impression that I should be more wary about heat pumps, but that if I have the data collected in advance I would be ready to switch when the time comes. Armed with that data, you could also do some advanced prep work s

Do you get sun? Putting some black-painted tubing (exposed to the sun) inline with the pool filter pump provides quite a lot of heat at only the cost of the materials. The filter pump already exists and is already circulating pool water :

So you're arguing that they aren't following the DMA? That's not malicious compliance, that's non-compliance.

The technology fails, too. Here's a great example in hockey [1], where the match is over and the championship has been won, but only the shooter and the goalie know it. Hockey has a light and buzzer that go off if the sensors detect
