Presumably you are referring to work here, as the worth of anything you do in your personal life should be quite evident. You can find rewarding work.

What are the concrete benefits of such a well-rounded background?

Fascinating; thanks for the links. I wonder how the splicing process works for that.

I enjoy passing the time on airplanes with my phone held up near the window to get a GPS signal, and then look at the names of towns and landscape features far below as I pass them by. It is quite surprising how anything you can see tends

So then their next move would be to mandate that you live within a certain commute range. I don't think we want that.

If you were to consider that in ye olden days the majority of things in the vegetable aisle would have been simply unavailable out of season, does it seem a bit less like price gouging? Transport is likely the most significant cost. I supp

The Fiber Optic Association has some books that are quite approachable too. I read a few of them about 6 years ago to prepare for doing some fiber work--designing and installing a fiber plant for a large campground.

/64 is not large--it is only enough to run one network / broadcast domain. It is fine for 90%+ of homes, unless they want to do anything like run a separate guest or IOT network. Hopefully they would be able to obtain larger pre

One could choose to believe that concerts are substitutable goods, and then instantly there are lots of other choices at non-crazy prices.

So, the author was desperate to find something tacky and lambaste it. The author found that it was simply groups of people who like doing stuff together, for various reasons. The Gone Girl element was just a decoration on the cruise, to get

Wrong way to think about it...never will "all passengers" be doing something. Same as any network (ISP, IDF closet, cell network, stadium, department store, etc.), you plan for oversubscription. Think 10:1 oversubscription for

As an example, best practice for Palo Alto firewall setup is to create a rule that allows the "application" known as "SSL" and then use "application-default" as the setting for which ports to allow it on. This

Actually issued by a government? Not sure. How to implement? Also not sure. I am not an expert in this field. "Anonymous credentials" seems like the closest thing maybe. Basically you need to somehow prove you have a valid si

You have to have intrusive barriers. This is true in real life and it is true online. The world is not a graffiti free-for-all because there are barriers: the government (police) is able to apprehend individuals, link that physical individ

I doubt a typical person can describe the effect of one ton of TNT with any accuracy. I'll give it a try though: 2 meter deep and 6 meter wide crater in typical soil, death due to shockwave out to 150m, death likely due to shrapnel ou

So you are able to get jobs at places that are "toxic nightmares". Perhaps with your job-hopping history you would find it more difficult to get a job at places that nurture a positive culture and high retention. Might be some co

Tessitura and NISC are two great examples of technology-centric co-ops. Technically a co-op is usually "member-owned" whereas they were talking about employee owned. A substantial difference in some ways but not in others.

Coinbase is the only entity that knows the private keys which could be used to move the funds in this wallet. So if "owns" means actual technical control of the coins, Coinbase owns them. Now, many people (pretty much all) follow

I was skeptical that 200F water would not cause almost immediate damage. Turns out this challenge involves a 200F sauna, so 200F air, not water.

I actually just found today when shopping for drywall that there is 54"x12' drywall ("Super Wide") available. Still not a trucking issue, but interesting.

Drywall is commonly available at any home center in 4'x12', and available in 4'x16' sizes.

$300,000,000 in investor money to earn back, software people earning $300,000/year, managers for them, etc. Divided amongst a lot of premises, yes, but still expensive. Instead of just a couple guys answering a phone.

The Len Sassaman theory really does it for me. It's been a while since I read up on it, but the similarity of Bitcoin and his remailer tech was the main thing that I found pretty convincing. Plus of course the timeline of his death.

I use $1 USD per watt per year, with electric prices around $0.10/kWh. Good enough to inform decisions like whether to leave a light on all the time ($5/year) or whether to purchase a NAS vs. used server ($40 vs. $300 per year).
