Much of rural America grows corn or soybeans. You can drive for literally hundreds of miles and only see these two crops. And it’s not even a corn that is edible, it’s grown to be processed or fed to other animals. Vegetable production is i

When did a self-earned 401k and a midlevel salary job become a golden parachute? Also the parachute wouldn't have heights, it would be an ivory tower from which I could jump. If you are going to insult me, then at least use proper meta

Veterinary models assume fairly limited lifespans and are economically focused, especially for large animals. If we followed that model it would probably assume no issues past 65 matters, because death and retirement would be the same. Also

I feel like blaming the lawsuits is a deflection. How many of those lawsuits were filed because the company refused to pay out in full or a timely matter? Sure there is likely fraud, but no way that is the sole cause of the increase in laws

We are in a correction period, so some bad things will happen. Journalism loves the superlative right now, so any headline tends to be scary. What would be more concerning? Some announced losses, or a lies about how "everything is fine

There are a ton of free services only accessible to those with money. For example, if you buy jewelry from any luxury store you can often also bring it in for free cleaning. But they will honor this for any piece you bought from them. And i

Probably. HTTP/2 is good for streaming, and even that is being replaced by newer protocols. For normal asset serving the only advantage is more assets can be loaded in parallel since HTTP/1 is limited on connections per domain. CD

Interesting bit about the Apple Store redesign. I game on my computer and consoles, but haven't installed a new phone game is probably 5+ years. Usually when I am in an airport I scroll through the App Store, and I am shocked by how si

Does this happen in the US? I have heard tons of stories of people in tens or hundred of thousands of dollars in debt (other than usual mortgage and car), but loosing their passport is never part of the story.

Maybe, a lot of optical trickery like this isn't universal, but tuned to our eyes. I wonder what this looks like with a polarization filter.

The effect is going to be highly dependent on the physical dimensions of the lines, and the plastic used. The spacing between the lines is going to influence the optical behavior along with the diffractive/refractive properties of the

Before people freak out, most time systems that already support leap seconds should also be able to support negative leap seconds. You can just smear a second by speeding up a clocks temporarily. And it will counteract the drift between UTC

I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop in terms of costs to serve for AI before I start freaking out. Maybe a super AI could replace an engineering org, but how much will it cost? Developer wages are already being depressed by of

Tugboats are pretty incredible. Compared to container ships they look tiny, but they are actually pretty big. During Kings Day in Rotterdam I saw tugboats basically pirouetting in place while blasting water cannons. Way more nimble than eve

You’re getting downvoted but I think despite the tone you are correct. 10 years ago corporate guidance on web dev was backwards compatibility going back several versions. Now it’s hardly any concern for anything more than 6 months old. More

The whole Taylor repair scenario reeks of some sort of corporate kickback scheme. Taylor makes a deal with corporate that forces franchises to buy a subpar machine. Every time the machine goes down Taylor gets a repair order and corporate e

This sounds like a pretty standard multitenant datastore. Everything has a user/group Id on it, and a logical layer that locks a connection to a specific group.

Isotopes and elements are human made labels based on nucleon and proton counts. Hydrogen and deuterium are both the same element, but are obviously different nuclear structures. Even at a chemical level deuterium is appreciably different. T
