I live in Japan, and have a Kei. Honestly: they're wonderful . I'm importing at least one when I head back to the US. It reminds me a lot of my first car, an early-80's Honda. Tiny engine, almost nothing in the way of luxuri

We canceled our Netflix subscription something like six months ago, on the basis that there was literally nothing worth our time to watch. It feels a bit like when I quit social media. I freed a surprising amount of time, and liberated this

One of the core mindsets that I build within my teams is that everybody is important, but nobody is critical. This drives a lot of our practices. We assume that anybody could leave the team tomorrow, and that we need to onboard their replac

Yours is neo-nazi thinking: "Look at all those banks and media companies, so many Jewish last names..." Anti-black racists have the same mindset: "Hmmm... what do all those looters and criminals have in common?" Of cou

Turns out you can! But it's $750 for a one-centimeter cube, because the US government limits commercial sales of DU to 15kg per year.

That is massively cool! I wonder if you can get depleted uranium. Would love to grab a cube of it for discussions on density.

TSMC will always lose that bid against a hostile state actor (the PRC) which can totally ignore market value in pursuit of strategic goals.

Depends. Mathematics? Chemistry? There's some room for compression there, but not much. If you ditched all of the absolutely useless "general education"[1] classes, and kept class sizes small enough to allow time for individu
