There is also basalt rebar. Last I checked, some building codes allow equivalent 1:1 tradeoff with classic rebar - even though the basalt rebar is stronger. From what I understand, basalt rebar does not have the usual problem of regular re

What state are you looking to access/mutate? To me, a large part of the fun from the DF experience came from only being able to twiddle the high level knobs and watch the shenanigans emerge. I also got the impression that low level in

Based on my own experiences (around same age) and discussions with friends, the depth of your financial education is the exception. The checkbook one comes up a regularly, while loans and interest rates come up in the context of math class

Also, to make sure there's enough prey, let's not make financial education a requirement, in general, so people can make well reasoned choices...

I'd also like to see the rest of the assumptions baked in. Is there some trust fund involved -- which requires that we now consider the risk associated with how the $2 is invested to get an adequate return?

I think the general consensus is that you shouldn't just leave them on a shelf for more than a year and that there is some temperature dependency in there. If you really care about the data, two+ backups stored in different places is c

From what I understand, in the US it's much easier to walk away from a mortgage (with an underlying asset to reclaim) than student loans. I'm under the impression that this (and government default guarantees) makes lenders more w

How widely spread are these heavily funded PTA setups in CA? Base on my limited visibility while living in SF and on the peninsula, this setup seems to run rampant -- for the areas with people that can afford it. Is any of the funding gat

At least for Seattle, the assessor's office has a breakdown but it turns out to be fairly bogus unless there's been a remodel or new building -- resulting in a new assessment. Quite a few cities also seem to have pretty bogus val

If they image repeatedly at various offsets over an area - perhaps over multiple flybys - shouldn't they be able to localize it better than that? The Wikipedia pages claims that pictures are taken every second but I am not sure how tha

Transferring objects from one world to another may not be desirable for a few reasons. This could lead to coupling of world economies where something that is meant to be - intentionally - scarce in one world now finds itself with an overab

For those familiar with American building practices, it's interesting to see some stark contrasts. This video discusses solid timber walls (among other interesting features) in a Swiss building project: https://www.youtube.

Not a tax expert but IIRC since they were earned in CA, they generally are taxed when they result in a net gain of some sort (e.g. sold directly or exercised). Go to Section E of the FTB's publication 1100.

I tried it recently (< 2 months ago) and the experience wasn't too bad. This was the first real ad "campaign" I had ever set up. The targeted group was pretty niche and while Reddit suggested going broader, I was able to

I suspect that most people decry subsidized inherited wealth through things like stepping-up the cost basis for inherited wealth. Generally, I don't think people have a problem with parents giving their kids gifts in some form - tho

Generally, I agree you. In engineering orgs, it seems like the social dynamics of the org distribute who is perceived to be creating that value in a non-average way. e.g. the engineers improving reliability are probably perceived as less

Isn't any compute more-or-less transferable (presumably at less than AWS's dollar cost) if you take it and mine some currency with it? I assume there's something out there that effectively buy spares cycles if you install a

I thought along that route as well but I'm not sure how the feature scale of a fuse compares to the size of a flash cell - especially since the latter can contain multiple bits worth of info (MLC). Assuming the fuse write results in a

I suspect that hawki was assuming that a WORM SSD would be based on a different non-flash storage medium. I don't know any write once media that has similar read/write access times to an SSD. FWIW, there are WORM microsd cards av

IIRC, Google had a program that originally targeted this demographic and has since broadened their scope. If the acquaintance talks to a recruiter there, ask about "engineering residency".

Yes. Also, if this is a concern, the property involved may never have been publicly listed as for sale.
