I think the observation is one of "it is healthier to drink 2 liters of whiskey than 2 liters of bleach, and the bleach is healthier than 2 liters of dimethylmercury" In some ways, yes, correct. In ways that are important, though

I would ask you to think through the logistics of managing any of your proposed solutions when you don't have a safe place to sleep or store your stuff. Instructions like 1) leave your stuff some place out of your control 2) somehow ge

How do you cash a paycheck if you are without an address or a bank account? How do you establish that you are a citizen and are legally able to take a job if you are unable to safely store your documents? How do you get health care, inclusi

Depends on the locations and cars in question; on the east coast there are lots of DC Fast charging stations between anywhere and anywhere else. This is double true for Tesla where there are superchargers nearly everywhere. With access sup

I suspect that amazon specializes in arbitrage. They collect information in a domain (such as delivering stuff to places in a region). They build a detailed map of "easy to deliver" and "horrible to deliver" locations i

The reverse of that is that there are ecosystems that can only exist as a result of some large fauna's action on the environment: There are theories that permafrost is a result of woolly mammoths, for instance: https://theco

The insidious thing about the written word is sometimes it is very difficult to identify sarcasm, irony, or subtly. The very thought that bitcoin or any other "distributed ledger" could provide any value in situations where societ

I'd disagree with that. One doesn't need to be cruel to be callous or oblivious. One can intentionally remain oblivious, but that doesn't imply that the cruelty is an actual goal. See also people who happily eat meat (myself

My wife and I were recently escorted from a Ritz (a sub-brand of Marriot); We were paying in points (a lot of points), they checked us in but still couldn't figure out their back-office payment processing or something because they co

The org is getting what it wants out of the team; why would they fix it? As long as you've got meat for the grinder, you can keep making sausage.

An important lesson I've learned is to ask in the interviews "how is employee performance evaluated?" If the response is blather about 360 peer review, be wary. Also scan all available information about if they perform any st

What's the advantage of this over docker? Presumably this just bundles a python runtime and a copy of the dependencies and hides it all inside some sort of huge file?

I should have been a little more clear -- the urban planner managing the house building / copying and neighborhood destruction (the realtime controller) The rules are: 1) You can build a house kinda quickly 2) You can't modify a

There's nuance to this; the deletes / overwrites are accomplished by bulk wiping entire blocks. Rather than change the paint color in a hallway you have to tear down the house and build a new house in the vacant lot next door that

If you want justice, be prepared to pay for it. If you're unable to pay for it, you will not receive justice. I am aware that this is not the 1950's superman definition of justice. It is the "welcome to America" version

This sort of crime is only possible because the criminals act from within regions where they're not going to be punished (beyond being asked for the house's vig). The countries protecting these criminals are behaving like the tali

They banned enormous denomination bills to prevent this sort of crime. By "Ban" I mean they no longer make them, and possibly destroy them once they get circulated back to the central bank. They're still legal tender. See al

I have an old dot connected to my stereo to stream music. As they say, it is extremely convenient to be able to request some music and have it played. My amplifier has a switched outlet on the back that I've plugged the USB into; so

Fuel cell cars are not a reasonable proposition for automobiles. Any way to get hydrogen can generate electricity, usually more efficiently. Electricity is easier to generate, distribute, and store than hydrogen. Fuel cell cars also need

Well, first of all, CFL bulbs are as dead as Prince. You probably shouldn't be buying them unless you've got a very specific kind of nostalgia. It's also been almost 30 years since I could buy a cup of coffee for $0.05. It

Regarding the box of dead CFL tubes: Put them into the box and put the box back on a shelf. Do so with some care, and don't store a hammer on top of them. Perhaps you put the dead CFL into the container with the replacement blulb came

CFL bulbs are fine; put the dead ones in a box then take the box to the hardware store once every 3 years when it fills up. CFL bulbs are fine; they last years and they don't heat up your house like crazy. LED bulbs are better in every
