To put that in perspective, it's about 5% of NASA's yearly budget. I know I lose a lot of "cool kids points" for saying this, but I am seriously excited about both this, and the idea of a "space force". IT see

This is such a boondoggle. I rarely see any birds, lime bikes, orange bikes, ofos, etc. parked in places other than off to the side of the sidewalk, or in a bike rack. When I do, I move them. Most people, generally speaking, are good pe

The idea that somebody has been waiting around to plug in a $0.50 fan until a security researcher did a tear down is absolutly absurd.

Those have ubiquitous replacements. USB and flash memory don't.

Ethernet sure, but the rest of that stuff has been completely replaced. This is what I mean: make a laptop for people who need stuff like SD card readers and USB, and make another for people who don't. The way I see the breakdown is t

I wish apple would just make a line of laptops aimed at professionals. They could give us back a real keyboard, give us back USB ports, give us back swappable batteries, and give us back SD card readers (although this could be microsd at t

They have the data, so obviously they know more about the effects of their tweaks than I do, but: It seems like I don't really get fresh content anymore. It seems like a few, mostly stale stories from people I barely talk to. That ma

Yes, in fact I think I have eaten at literally hundreds of places like that all over the world. Also: your equivalency is ridiculous. I have had a "food manager's card", which means that I am certified to oversee an entire r

Isn't the person actually driving the car supposed to be driving the car? I've ridden in these self driving Ubers. When I rode in one, the driver drove almost the entire time, except on a few straight stretches of road. They alw

Ah, this actually seems okay to me. My web browser use is often opening several tabs in the background while I read the one I am on. A four minute delay for the background ones sounds fine (if I'm on my way to mars, that is. For my

Imagine how much energy it would take to keep about 200lbs of water at about 98F degrees all the time when it is -40F outside. That's what your body is doing 24 hours a day. It takes a LOT of energy to do that. Quite frankly I think

Just to add a detail that might be relevant to this audience. Eric Weinstein is currently the managing director of Thiel Capital.

Yeah that's fair. I guess I was thinking of flatheads as small machine screws and things like that, where only a few rotations are actually necessary.

They don't strip, or at least it would take a tremendous amount of torque to strip them. My experience has been that the driver strips before the head does.

by blhack 8y ago
As far as I'm concerned, torx is the only reasonable screw anymore. It seems like most construction screws (at least in the US) have moved to this. Just to make the point: I've stripped out more torx drivers than I have torx he

"Anti-authority" seems like a pretty good marketing campaign that WISPs have figured out. I mean: good for them.

If we're just talking about salary, then teachers make almost exactly the median for their education level in my state (Arizona). To be clear: I think teachers should probably make more, but I don't know enough about it to make

It's not "his childish twitter diplomacy". Mike Pompeo was just in NK. Trump also agreed to talks with KJU, which is what triggered all of these summits to begin with. You don't have to like the guy, but the US absolut
