You're right. Vandenberg, Kirtland, Canon, Altus, and Little Rock are all matches for the latitude and there is no text explaining them away. Even the "it must be California because Northrup" is both (a) debatable and (b) doe

Oh my goodness no! I'm not sure what SBF thinks he is doing, but he is definitely maximizing his chances of going to jail. He is making his future defense lawyer's job very difficult by committing to a story. The lawyer will be se

No because investments are not digital goods. Just because something is not physical does not mean it is digital. For example, a right to mine iron is not a physical thing, nor is it a digital thing; instead it is a legal thing.

In my experience, Apple devices readily respond to "Sarah" which was a top-five baby girl name in 19 of the years from 1980 through the 2000 [1]. [1] https://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/top5names.html

Yep, referencing signals vs ground is the big flaw in RS-232. That's why a lot of industrial machinery uses RS-422/RS-485 which is sent as a differential pair. 422 gives you the same serial interface, the same signaling, but with

Hospitals and the medical profession have a lot of work, and for efficiency they stack the work up. A rule of thumb whenever dealing with a hospital is that everything will be massively later than you expect. It's a good idea to set yo

The big thing for me was address space size and computer sophistication. DOS was still popular because it was so much cheaper than a workstation. Single-tasking means exiting your editor to do code check-ins and having to reload your contex

New mpeg standards come out about once every ten years. It's amusing to me that Google are adding h.265 support six months after the approval of the next-generation h.266 standard[1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

HDMI connectors cost a lot of money to the HDMI licensing authority. This payment is very painful if you have a small quantity of shipments. DisplayPort is free. And as others have pointed out, you just need to buy a cable.

Free college sounds good until you realize that only 30% of German students get to go. In California, it's 60%. Thanks to the community college system in the US, students who do poorly in high school get a chance to prove they can make

Yep, that's pretty much the entire reason. This article is much like the "rich get vastly richer this year" stories that come out when the stock market rises. For some reason the opposite stories do not get written when the s

OpenStreetMap is very very good. In many ways, I prefer it to Apple and Google. But the 2022 version suffers from a number of issues that Google and Apple are both suffering from recently: a lack of focus on who this map is for . Is this m

Unambiguous good? No, it will depend on the quality of the moderation. But I think it is more important to encourage good moderators to moderate more than it is to punish poor moderation.

Congress passed a law to specifically ensure they are websites are not responsible for the speech they reproduce. This law is good because it encourages content moderation because there are never consequences for the moderation decisions.

Suppose you have an object that has just left the atmosphere, and suppose it is in an orbit. You have the same problem again: every orbit repeats, so the object's orbit, having just left the atmosphere, will repeat into the atmosphere.

The LEO post-launch force you link to is for minor orbital changes. Or large changes over a large amount of time. The problem with an orbit that begins at the ground is that you have exactly one orbit's worth of time in which to conve

You can't fire anything into Earth orbit. Once propulsion is complete, you are in an orbit. Orbits repeat . So if your orbit starts from the ground, your orbit will intersect the ground which is... undesirable. Instead, you have to f

Yes with a but: the article says over the last 140 years the rise was 21-24cm, and the last 40 years saw a rise of 10cm. That strongly implies an acceleration of sea level rise that is more than any measurement error could account for. I d
