Spreadsheets are non-linear. I would rather be given the chance to explore first on my own, and then have a chance to ask questions. The forced walk-through might be helpful to some people, but that can also be documented in the spreadshe

I have literally not seen an ad on Facebook desktop since they forced through the update. Maybe that's why.

For anyone who is confused as I was, that is not Kieran Fox in the photo as the caption seems to imply.

OT, but if solar panels last for over 20 years and get at least 5% cheaper every year, you save more money by waiting to install them than you do by installing them.

The circular one is a twist-loc that prevents it from disconnecting accidentally. The -|| 20A design is great in theory, but you only want to install a receptacle of that type if it is the only one on the circuit (and I mean only receptacle

Each containment, vessel which produces 50MW of electric power, can fit on a truck. Each site might contain up to 12 separate reactors. That was basically the design constraint so the can be manufactured off site and shipped as one unit.

9/5 of a cubic inch is a fluid ounce, not 5/9, which is why you divide and not multiply.

It's market cap weighted, so they make up more than 1% of the index. Just based on the numbers shown (+2%, -5%, and +37%) they must represent about 17% of the S&P 500.

He is awfully repetitive and his earlier videos on the subject are more informative, but he's basically right. If the basic science disagrees, it must be a scam until proven otherwise. Plenty of studies were done on the accuracy of l

Seems like a simple correlation of size of the image vs. length of the url. Small images with long urls are suspect. Not sure what the work around would be. Edit: Also white/invisible pixels. Maybe number of visible/non-white p

Turns out they are moving SN7 which is a new tank made out of the new steel for pressure testing only.

No tank has failed a pressure test since SN1.

Because the rest didn't "explode" in the usual sense. SN1 lower tank failed a liquid nitrogen pressure test in a rather spectacular way. SN2 was a short one tank version that passed its pressure test. SN3 collapsed under a

This was the fifth static fire of the same rocket and frankly it wasn't seen as high risk at the time. If it was, I am sure they would have postponed it, as they did for the planned short-hop. Of course "high-risk" is a rela

It was not intentional. There must be some mechanism to disconnect the external propellant lines before lift-off and they obviously disconnected unintentionally after the static fire. The best guess based on the way the flame spread was t

If I wanted to write a blog post that I could be sure no one would ever finish reading, I would do just this. (Or maybe just to screen out randoms from Hacker News. Genius!)

They way I would describe it is that 3-way ties are very stable. Backstabbing to get into a 3-way tie is certainly considered fair game and there should be no hard feelings among experienced players. But not respecting the 3-way is a whole

The second one is "chi = alpha plus four." The general point he is trying to make here is that in a Greek word we would see the chi and alpha because of the context, but if you typeset an equation with letters intended for settin
