What a well written, gripping analysis! One of the most interesting plots was the Ocean Booking Volume Index... booking volume vanishes right around the start of Feb each year. I think this is about when Chinese New Year is celebrated. That

A friend of mine recently left a mainframe assembler programming job. They didn't want to get stuck as a mainframe assembler programmer. They were part the first batch of new hires the company had made in over 10 years for the role. Th

Speaking of gun deaths... someone linked to https://www.osha.gov/fatalities the other day and I was surprised to see how many fatalities involve workers getting shot, often by co-workers!

How does one go about finding a third party to front the cash and split the upside? And how do US federal taxes work in this situation?

I don't think all driver assist tech is dangerous. Tesla FSD is dangerous because the name suggests no supervision is needed, and it's good enough that drivers fall asleep at the wheel. My driver assist experience is with a 2020 H

Google Chrome, Firefox, and Slack select the next suggestion on tab from the url/search bar. That's a pretty big precedent. I like it... my arrow keys are far away from the home row but tab is not. Anyway, we can disagree about pr

Similar nit pick… Not sure if this is fixed in Monterey, but in Catalina the maps app is so close to being amazing. When you search, it shows suggestions but hitting tab defocuses the search and closes the suggestions!! It should select the

This happened to me. Just get online, play games, and do puzzles and you will improve. One of the tough things is getting started. When you sign up on lichess.org, you start out with 1500 rating which is literally ~50th percentile [1]. You&

This is beautiful. The real numbers are uncountable, so seems intuitive that could approximate any other space with them... basically a hash function. But this one has an inverse! It's so cool that someone actually implemented this.

A valid license is a valid license? Whether or not rural cops are aware is a different issue. I'm also curious how it will work to hand over "license and registration" info. Traditionally, you give them your physical license,
