Insurers are both victims and beneficiaries of a system in which people are terrified to go without medical insurance, but where that medical insurance often doesn't meaningfully protect you. The proposed alternative is to give tremend

Part of being worry-free is knowing that even if you became unable to work you would not go hungry. 100k would do that for a while (unless you had medical expenses) but not forever. As a result, at some point you would need to worry. My poi

I would be very surprised if you could live worry-free with the investment proceeds of $100,000. You would have to earn 18% a year on that on average just to hit the poverty line in the US, and a more likely result would be living on 1&#x2F

Not to nitpick a nitpick, but both 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 support dns-over-tls. If you are concerned about the Powers That Be, you should switch over-- and good luck doing that with your ISPs DNS.

A nit: afaik Google's DNS service has committed to never associating data with other Google services. For reference, it's the last bullet point on https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/faq

Stupid non-physicist question here: we know the universe is expanding, but where does it expand at? Are there physical areas which we can observe growing? And if so, shouldn't that mean that we observe distant objects as lighter than t

I'm not sure I understand. The chart you link to shows that the top 10% produce ~90% of CO2, but says nothing about the impact of population reduction on that dynamic. Are you assuming those individuals will be untouchable or just sayi

Same. To some extent the presence of certs is a lacks-clue indicator to me. That's not fatal (lots of great hires really understand security but know nothing about the industry) but it starts my evaluation of you off at 'greenhorn

Huh. We used to eat cottonseed and I don't seem to have died. The father of a friend of mine even made a candy with it, something like peanut brittle.

Seven string guitars are used extensively in metal (I have two downstairs!), but I don't see a reference to them here; bit disappointed to see such a prominent use ignored.

You know the old saw about "if you don't pay for the product, you are the product"? It's not "if and only if".

I'm not sure I get your point about theft. When I had some tools stolen earlier this year the cost of the damage was the replacement cost of the tools, not the price on the sticker. The (legal) replacement cost of a stolen song is abou

Stupid question, is this targeted at producing water or is it targeted at producing clean water where contaminated water is available?

Amazon is successful because it brings nearly everything a consumer wants within two days' easy reach. They are able to do so because they have an excellent logistical ground game, maybe a peerless one. Without challenging them on this

Might just be me but I'm missing the relevance. The point is that a household which has already maxed out its possible number of workers no longer has the option of sending someone else to work to deal with a sudden expense, so a two w

Sure. This is pretty much my point in two charts: https://www.financialsense.com/sites/default/files/users/u61... http://www.pewresearch.org/ft_dual-income-households-1960-20... If you w

Adjusted household income has been essentially flat since the 70s. The percentage of those households with two earners has gone from 25% to 60% during that time. Productivity has grown nearly every year during that time. This, combined with

Hmm. The books I put up here are frequently criticised for focusing on pedagogy at the expense of rigor. So I'm not sure what to say to that. Overall I agree that too much of mathematics is obfuscated. Whether that's because it ma

I see your time studying the humanities has given you a fine grasp of the art of persuasive writing. Why you wanted to pursuade people to downvote you is a mystery to me, but perhaps a more careful study of Vue.js will yield the understandi

It's actually quite common to redline NDAs. At one previous employer nearly every company we entered discussions with asked us to cut two clauses in our NDA. We usually cut one and stood our ground on the other and I can only think of

As the other reply says, this has been done for in-car systems at least since the late 90s. Heck, I had a company in the gnss space ask me this as an interview question probably 7 or 8 years ago.

There is absolutely nothing novel about using a gyroscope for tracking location; doing so predates the American civil war by 10 years and is 76 years older than sliced bread. This is clickbait for the security set, and I'm ashamed cnbc

On your second point: you're very vocal about the need for other people not to be so vocal about the things they care about. I find myself wondering if you express that at work.
