Oracle has fantastic budget tools. Not just "you've passed your budget", but "you're forecast to pass your budget in 22 days before the month is up". And you can couple it with quotas to create hard budgets. AW

The game itself has limited novelty, with the majority of people getting the solution in 3 or 4 guesses through normal fitting. It's entirely natural that people try to find new ways to challenge themselves with it.

Intel has some 15 or so fabs already in the US (most upgraded multiple times), and is constructing two giant new ones in Arizona. The continental US has a good amount of domestic production capacity. The "problem" is that TSMC and

I apologize for being so direct, but you seem really sensitive about this topic. The tweet you linked to in your edit was actually questioning Intel's faltering business model, not Ohio. Of the comments you linked, most are banal or ne

Putting a device into space is relatively cheap for a project like this, and is only dropping with each year. Say $100M - $200M, on a $10B project, puts the launch at just 1-2% of the price tag. I believe the Hubble total project cost is pu

UV A/B is oxidizing, which is why plastics left outside degrade rapidly, discoloration occurs, etc. It's bad for your eyes, bad for your skin in excess, and creates ozone in the air which is an environmental pollutant. Normal indo

The recreational consumption of content of all sorts is, I suspect, at a historic high. We watch hundreds of hours of movies and limited series and shows, watch YouTube and Twitch and TikTok, and browse Facebook, Reddit, and Hacker News for
