When we were getting ready for our first child, looking for a hospital, I went deep diving on infant mortality rates in the US in general, and specifically in our area's hospitals. At least in my area of the country, the higher infant

The officer on deck - Sarah Coppock - was responsible for the entire ship while the captain was sleeping. She was on the bridge, not in the CIC where the bottles were. However, the officer in charge of the CIC - Natalie Combs - was also fem

Yeah, I had no help with a down payment nor college payment help, and bought around the same age. And I know plenty others young couples and singles who have done the same thing. I’m guessing the effect the grandparent is seing is in high c

Certainly not knocking MOST - it was a really cool mission, and we should do more in that buget range.

Once I was hired to clean up after a site breach. From logs I could watch the attackers spend an hour learning how to exploit some vulnerable php code, then learning how the customers admin area worked. Then they changed the html on some ra

I've known several people who have started their own restaurant - let me confirm that the hours required are more than any other job or startup I've ever seen. I am 100%, never, ever, going to start a restaurant.

I’ve played with the adafruit 9DOF sensor on a handgun. It was fun, but trigger pull wasn’t my problem, so I went on to other things. However, I’ve always idly wondered about mounting a cheap keychain cam to a flashlight mount, then exploit

Runway numbers roughly corresponding to heading is really just a numbering convenience and doesn’t even always happen. Many US airports are renumbering their 02/20 runways to something else to avoid pilot confusion, even though those

Haha! This really works. I downloaded the MacOS release and tried it out. As they said, it used a lot of CPU (25%), but it looks great. I'm going to pull this out the next time I need to impress some kids with my job. I occasionally li

I’m always conflicted when I hear about Boom. I’m cheering for them, but I can’t help feeling like it’s a scam. Then again, there is nothing impossible technicaly about civilian supersonic flight...

It should be enough to get one prototype aircraft flying. After that, they would need raise or finance more.

It’s the second half of the article that contain the real insights - that what are termed “bullshit” jobs, and despised by the people working them, actually do create economic value. Today younger people have an expectation of meaningful wo

The decisions made by the astronauts were made by their mission commander - a Marine Colonel. Rather than a labor/capitalist take, this goes back to the old military traditions that a captain has the final authority for the safety of h

Thank you for posting this. It was completely worth the read.

No. That doesn’t mean I won’t be surprised if it goes down more, just that I am sure I’d do a bad job deciding when to buy back in.

It's a valid concern. In my testing, I saw OrbitDB load 10-40 entries per second (with 1 byte entry data payload sizes). Each entry tries to point to up to 64 previous entries, which allows a lot parallelism in loading previous entri

Here's a quick overview of how OrbitDB works. A "database" in OrbitDb is a single document or single log, with fixed at creation write permissions. So if you would want ten users to each be able to write their own log of data

Your previous post wasn’t very helpful. You were speaking negatively of both the article and the site without making an actual argument about either. Unsubstantive negativity and dismissals are nether educational for everyone reading, nor

I’ll never forget the day we pulled into port after a week crossing the ocean, and the cruise ship started unloading dead bodies, one after the other, into ambulance after ambulance. It turns out that this was normal. Outside the the part
