I navigated around and found this page with a nice table of all the various features and links describing them: https://sites.wustl.edu/meteoritesite/items/some-meteorite-r...

Didn’t know EEE as an acronym, in case others are looking and not interested in reading about Eastern Equine Encephalitis, I think here they are referring to Embrace, Extend, Extinguish: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/

Sorry for being off topic but what made you pick the name perihelions? I ask as someone who did some work in the field of solar physics and I don’t see a lot of opportunity to use the word perihelion :)

I owe you a longer response which might not happen, but appreciate you engaging and I acknowledge I made assumptions based on the context that sound like they were wrong - apologies for that. I think we are on the same page and I hope if yo

Nah I saw it and have been busy and agree with you that context is hard on the internet and I got it wrong with the best intentions, glad we could talk it out :)

I legitimately think this. I read my comment again. Can you explain my delusion?

Ultimately what I'm going to suggest comes down to philosophy, so if it doesn't align w/ your approach/needs I get it. A theme of how you describe your interactions was to throw the support team under the bus, and/o

I build and run exceptional support teams, and I'm so confident in that it renders your comment borderline comical, thanks for the almost laugh.

by codezero 5y ago
I’ve run support teams, even ones that are well taken care of, and there is no situation where your approach doesn’t hurt the support team and teach the executive nothing. I’m happy to go into more detail, and/or offer advice on better

I suspect once this kind of workaround becomes known it's also a target for hackers - if there's a way around Facebook support to access an account, hackers will use it too.

They shouldn’t have to demand accommodation. That’s the point.

I usually can't keep my focus in an article that is so long, but the narrative style helped keep me hooked through the entire thing.

I haven't read the book, but if you can think of a time you said "My stomach is growling" - You're communicating that you are hungry, but doing so by creating an external entity with a mind of its own - your stomach, it&

I worked in a lab once with a five megabyte hard drive from the 80s being used as a door stop, it was huuge, like the size of a large shoebox. They also had a WORM drive from the 80s that I dug up an ad for and it cost $25k for the writer a

It's easy to understand (I'm being a bit hyperbolic) if you can believe that space and time are emergent properties of matter and not required for the underlying physics.

low-earth orbit is around 90 minutes per orbit, so 60 minutes may be possible but I think it would require odd re-entry or a distant recovery that wouldn't be economical, probably at that length they'd just go into orbit.

That's fascinating, thanks so much for sharing, definitely sounds like synesthesia - I've known several people who've had various types of synesthesia, though none that were alphanumerical, it's always fascinating to lea

I’ve come to appreciate how economical folks who experience the 8-bit era are, and it seems to be having a resurgence and I love it.

I worked for an ISP so that my day job was 1mpbs, this was enough to serve 50 concurrent dialup customers back then!

Nope, it doesn't need to be a ring. I was deep into synesthesia stuff when I worked at UCSD and had a friend participate in an experiment at VS Ramachandran's lab and one of the neat things is that a lot of the commonalities are c

It sounds like you've got some form of synesthesia! I can totally understand what you're saying but there's no way I could apply it to a series of numbers, maybe not even if I practiced. Did you always have this feeling with

Haha, tell me about it. I think the 4MB upgrade cost around $300 or $400 at the time? Similar to my first 1GB hard disk which came a few years later that cost $500. I was a little spoiled since my dad worked for a telco, so we tended to hav
