I'm not really. We have onsite backups + off-site to backblaze. I'm comfortable with that for where we are. (We run on-prem for most things that involve a lot of data or GPUs.)

Nah. Goog just laid off some really spectacular people (in both talent and personality). Examples: Chris diBona and cat Allman. (I don't know cat personally but I do know Chris and he's an incredibly likeable person.) Both involve

Having done startups at 19, 39, and 45, I can say that the sh$t I pulled at 19 is a no go at 45 with kids, but I'm also a lot wiser now. That week of near death panic due to having had my backups fail as. 19 year old will never happen

Correct, most chickens are raised in enclosed buildings. And most pigs are farmed intensively, whether that be fully outside or with a roof. Dairy cows in the US are a mix of confined and pastured; it's kind of an ongoing experiment. D

Yes. "grass fed" here means finished on grass. The first 600-800lbs of growth are almost always on pasture, eating a mix of forage (the grasses) and possibly supplemental feed in winter depending on location. As I said above, most

That's not true at all. Almost all cattle are raised on pasture for the first (roughly) half of their life. Then some are raised the rest of the way on pasture (grass-finished) and substantially more are moved to a feedlot, a large out

You can get surprisingly cheap and nice head-worn binocular magnifiers now - like an optivisor but lighter and cheaper with interchangeable lenses. I absolutely love mine, which may say something more about me approaching 50 than it does ab

no, of course it's not, it's targeted to high school students, which is very clearly stated in the page: "WHO IS IT FOR? 8th + 9th grade [...]". It's designed to be a high school curriculum that doesn't suck. M

Made by CMU students _and faculty_. David Kosbie and Mark Stehlik are two of our most celebrated teachers, and the course creation has extensively involved veteran TAs from our intro undergrad courses. This is not a random unsupported stude

Houseplants do not exchange anything near significant amounts of CO2 for this purpose. The long term answer is to improve the HVAC: reconfigure for more external air mixing (commercial), or find a way to install an HRV or ERV, or open a win

You give your kids half the random swag you get. You involve them by letting them see your job, etc. My older kid has eaten in Google cafeterias, comes to my office at cmu after school to hang out and do her homework there, etc. You _want_

_if_ this actually holds... (1) "overnight" is longer than intraday: the NYSE on which AIG is traded is only open for 27% of the day (930-1600). That's not enough to explain the effect, though. (2) many (most?) large companie

There's rigor within the assumptions. The problem is when the assumptions are wrong - most notably around failure independence. Data center fire? Accounted for. Simultaneous terrorist attack / asteroid (as per GP), / nuclear

as a source of inspiration, something I just did that you might find worth exploring: I just bought a dozen old Martin Gardner books out of desperation. So far they're working really well. (For a 5th grader). About $4 each on used book

Tough call deciding between this and just using your fingers as a 5 bit binary counter. Incrementing is sure a lot faster with this method at the cost of a bit.

There are some home-brewable ways for single layer boards, particularly one sided -- you can do the old school copper board + mask + etch with something like ferric chloride. It's pretty easy but you do want to be careful as the chemic
