This is an excellent unit of CO2 to communicate with. I’ve read Vacslav Simil’s books and I still have to look up numbers when hearing about a million tons of CO2.

Obviously in hindsight it was a very good idea to award the contract to two teams to develop commercial crew, but Dragon/Falcon has a good service history now. Also, the ISS is will probably be retired in 8 years or less, so NASA could

At this point, what's the purpose of continuing with the Starliner program? Does it provide any capability that's not already proven with Dragon?

A lot of the problem here goes back to housing costs. Hiring police is extremely expensive, but even at their high salaries, SF can't fill its hiring quota. That also means that they're forced to hire marginal officers that they

The Kinzhal is AFAIK ballistic. The Russians refer to it as a hypersonic weapon because it sounds scary, but really it’s just an air launched SRBM. The Russians do have a maneuvering hypersonic weapon, the Avangard, but it’s strictly nucl

It's crazy how slow it is to get anything done with Quickbooks Online. The site is slow to respond, it has very limited keyboard shortcuts, if you open it in multiple tabs to cross reference information, it's constantly logging y

It’s also dumb concern cargo-cutting in California. Even the limited number of burns that are authorized can be cancelled if the air quality that day is bad.

Amazon also benefits because that’s where a lot of the stolen merchandise gets fenced. You get a good deal on laundry detergent there because it was stolen from Target.

Reidentifyig anonymized location traces has been common for many years in the gray data market world. If you have multi-year traces, it’s not too hard. You just need some sparse location data for the target and then if the sparse data mat

Yeah or, if both of the computers had modems, you could even upload a file to a BBS and download it with the other computer. This was one area where some cross-microcomputer standards were actually coming together. You had: 1. RS-232 2. V.

Also the original web browser, WorldWideWeb was on NeXT, but hardly anyone used it because hardly anyone had a NeXT.

And price, and gobs of network effects. Macs were much more expensive than PCs, and if you were working in an office with multiple computers, being the only one with a mac was a huge pain in ways that don't matter today. The main way

Maybe not, but if office rents are really going to be way down, it's possible to give developers private offices again.

They explicitly limit the number of residencies. You only get the number of slots they say in your residency program. This is just like calling OPEC a stupid conspiracy theory.

Well, the conspiracy has an office on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, a couple of hundred employees and a nice website. It's the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. They control accreditation for medical residencies, in

To me it’s not about getting “your money’s worth.” If they want to charge extra for the pool or a couple of bottles of water, fine, as long as it’s optional. These are always mandatory fees though. If I have to pay it, it should be inclu

Yes it's a problem. There's something wrong with the way they've packaged it with Electron I think. If you use the web version in a browser it's much faster. You can also turn their web page into an app with a few dif

Amazing Marvin. It has incredible configurability and a broad feature set. Where it really shines is its ability (contra the David Allen dogma) to help you plan your day/week. The awesome thing about its configurability is that you

I think it was a combination of things. 1. Inertia: Sanitizing and disinfection was what was recommended in March 2020. Even masking was actively discouraged until later. 2. "We have to do something." "This is something.&q

I used to live in Berlin and in my experience it wasn't really a thing there. For some reason it's just part of the restaurant culture in Frankfurt.

This is something that is somewhat common in Frankfurt, Germany. I got to meet some interesting people this way when I visited a couple of times.

A huge part of what made Uber great when they first launched UberX was the driver ratings. This forced the drivers to provide good service, unlike the previous standard for taxis. The problem now is that you can't give your driver a r

You do, and this is why the FAA makes you put EXPERIMENTAL in big letters in the cockpit. If you want proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the plane is safe, get a certified aircraft. IMO the FAA strikes an excellent balance between allowi

Simple. Money. OnStar costs between $25-50 per month. Say the car lasts 15 years, that's $4500-$9000 over the life of the car, and this is all at an extremely high profit margin. Even if some people won't buy the car if it does
