That explanation seems like it would not line up with the mathematical reality of the situation. It seems like one of those handwave-y things that always confused me as a child. “Gravity is just massive objects deforming space like a weight

Interesting! TLDR is that Apple replaced a stack of four optical components with one flat metasurface to collimate the dots the FaceID camera uses to track face shape. Although they found it in the iPad and are only assuming (rightly, proba

Perhaps not police departments, but proponents do claim it reduces the stress on social programs. If it allows people to put money where it's needed, then they might need those programs less. An ounce of prevention and all that.

Just to draw more attention to the point, it's not an unrelated project simply "using the Mermaid name," it's a for profit project started by the creator of mermaid.js, which charges for some advanced tooling around the

The main thesis of the article is that workers in, say, Cambodia are not inherently worse at making clothes than workers in a first world country. Which seems to be countering some rhetoric I have never heard (despite being in pretty… mixed

It does, not sure what you're seeing. Maybe the second jump was in the reverse direction, and thus not legal?

I wish there was a concept of paid expert reviews on Amazon/everywhere. A general review system works well (ignoring review gaming) when your concern is "Does this shirt fit?" or "What's the build quality?", bu

No, you still need subject-verb agreement. Either “there are no books,” or the less common “there is no book.” You might see the latter in the case of a definite subject: “Pass me the book on the subject.” “There is no book on the subject

Didn't BO have a change in leadership in 2023 precisely because they were slow compared to SpaceX? Edit: New Glenn was announced in 2016, compared to Starship's 2019, and they're approaching the finish line at around the same

I'm not sure how leaving the rest of the booster would make a propulsive landing easier. It seems like more complexity than just leaving some fuel in the tank, for less benefit. But ULA's Vulcan (which incidentally uses the same B

Their point still stands, which is that a heat pump provides no advantage in the summer, so the article was wrong in indicating that it did. But yes, not all ACs can be run as a heat pump.

I think it’s pretty obvious from our evolution that we need some UV but not too much. In Africa, where we got a lot of sun, we evolved darker skin to prevent damage, but in the more norther latitudes, our skin tones lightened to take advant

Sounds cool in theory, but much less than useful in practice. The hardware and file formats are different enough that the data would be mostly useless to us (I work at a self driving-ish company). The models are predicated a specific set of
