In the past when I tried to build a silent PC, I found that even after removing / stopping all the fans, there was still often an electronic humm or buzz left over. That is when I gave up. Later I changed desks to one that had one of

Tim Draper probably understands, privately, that Theranos is an unrecoverable loss. Privately, he has probably learned a lesson about doing better due diligence going forward. Publicly, he is doing what he thinks will benefit him the most

Part of the point of keeping cash around though, is that you don't want your buying power to be correlated with market movements. It is entirely possible/likely that the next good deal that comes up does so in the middle of a mar

That is a really neat "video". I see that it is mostly just 3d-transformed LayerJS, but did you use any particular tools to do it? Whether to help fine-tune the desired 3d angles or to designate where animation parts fire on t

I'm not a wireless expert, but then wouldn't it also be theoretically possible to have a network of direction finders? Isn't direction finding also a repeatable set of steps that can benefit from automation?

Not every fraud is a ponzi scheme. Ponzis are a specific kind of fraud where existing investors are paid dividends using investment funds from new investors. I haven't heard that existing Theranos investors ever got payouts.

The article mentions that the car was going "40 miles an hour in a 45-mile-an-hour zone." Is there a more reliable source stating that the car was speeding?

I've often wondered, considering the supposed low accuracy of Scud missiles, (wiki gives it a CEP of 450m) how much of the casualties from that incident were more due to the bad luck of the missile actually hitting its target.

I think the simplest fix to this sentence is to pluralize the word "minority." "With more than 50 percent of the population estimated to be minorities by 2044,..." No need for verbosity or weird terms that require a trip

It seems weird to use the word "deserves" here, as if tax cuts were doled out depending on who has been naughty and who has been nice. I would prefer tax policy thought up more in terms of budget needs and setting the right econo
