Surprisingly, "gaming" chairs might be the best, most cost effective option. Ars Technica[1] reviewed a couple gaming chairs from the home office viewpoint. I bought a toned-down style version of the Secretlab Titan chair pretty

FWIW they have a RISC-V based ESP32-ish microcontroller now[1]. Espressif has excellent good low-level documentation and a ton of code on Github[2]. I haven't built a system up from code, but they seem as open as any microcontroller s

That's likely no longer true. The updated guidance for Pfizer (which originally had colder storage requirements than Moderna) is: "undiluted, thawed Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine vials to be stored in the refrigerator at 2°C t

Comcast and friends are going to deliver 10 Gigabit symmetric Internet for $122/month or less? This is already the reality of municipal broadband in a small college town in the middle of nowhere Iowa. https://www.cfu.net&#x

I spent a lot of time in the computer lab with all sorts of Apollo Domain/OS machines. You could always spot the newbs because they grabbed the first available workstation instead of the nice DN3500 or other 68030 based machines. And

I'm upvoting you out of the grays and I hope you're joking, but there is no real deal and inferior is all a matter of taste and mostly snobbery. Sicilian pizza is less authenticate than Neapolitan? Happy Joe's taco pizza is

This is the physics of making good Neapolitan pizza, which is a really great basic pizza, but is just one of scores of pizza styles and is not better or worse than most of these styles: https://thetakeout.com/a-guide-to-amer

If I had to guess (other than the general comings and goings of style), it would have been related to the increasing (mandated) usage of XBRL. The visual presentation was no longer as interesting as soon as you could extract the data in a

That's what I figured. So the blog post is completely off-course - this person is complaining that the Investor Relations site no long has tarted up versions of the annual filings. "One fine day, as I was following the internet r

I assume they are pulling these from Netflix's Investor Relations site. That is a very different question than what is officially filed, which is very different from what this blog presents.

I don't know where this blog is getting their data from, but Netflix's 10-K filings have never been highly designed. https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&C...

More than a few EU companies are outsourcing the design of their 20-F/40-F documents to design companies. It is mostly a style/taste thing, although I know that some US companies are also interested in improving the presentations

It isn't a choice for any registrant that is filing to the SEC. Even the smallest filers will have to file most reports using XBRL after June. The application of XBRL doesn't really affect the design of the reports. It ebbs and

The foreign (non-US) filers (and also IFRS) are bringing the design back. I don't like it either.

There were many cases of pilots breaking the sound barrier in a dive prior to the X-1, even during World War II, and even some of them living to tell the tale. That was never in dispute. The point of the X-1 has always been that it was the

The confusion might be around the term "patch". These can be sometimes be simple diff patches. Or they can be multi-step processes, including reboots, all wrapped up into a single "patch". For example: https:/&
