There was a legal case where the speed of light was used to identify insider trading. Information was publicly disclosed at (fake numbers) 12:00:00:001, yet trades benefiting from the information came at 12:00:00:002, which was faster than

This is the part which I find really sticky. What about all of the non-Boeing employees who interface with the equipment for their job? The pilot, flight attendants, air traffic control, EMTs, etc. They have no direction association with Bo

To echo this sentiment, I thought he does a really reasonable job of working up to the topic. Sure, it is fast paced, but it is a video you can rewind, plus play with the notebooks. There is a lot to learn, but I think he touches on all of

Where are these well insulated California homes? Coming from somewhere with real winter, I am aghast at the insulation standards here.

That is indeed a fun chart. One thing I wanted to add is that fat (lipids) are much more energy dense than glucose. ~38 Mj/kg, though I am not sure what fraction of that the body recovers. Which makes sense, you want to maintain your l

Wouldn't that mean further subsidizing rich homeowners? The people best positioned to take advantage of incentives own their own home and have the disposable cash to make the initial outlay for residential generation.

Would something like this still work today? I assumed that sensitive locations would have shields in place to prevent potential bugs from transmitting information. Then again, this would also make cell phones and wifi inoperable, so maybe t

To be explicitly clear, I think you could strip out the environment variable loading stuff. Really just want there to be a standardized database url format parser. Does a lot to encourage not keeping database configuration in settings.py if

While the software was definitively not up to snuff, it sounds like the post office bears significantly more responsibility as the ones who went out of their way to prosecute.

Is that really any different from aspirational athletes, musicians, or actors? Everyone knows that only the 0.1% have wild success. The N% below that can make a non-glamorous living from it.

That is wild to me that they could not be profitable. That is so much money stemming from some mobile games. Games from the outside have limited production values vs AAA titles. Do they spend it all on promotional material to not get out co

Did not mean the barrel jack power is vendor proprietary. Only that it's not something I can pickup anywhere, but more or less have to source from online. Unlike USBC, where we are almost at the point I could get a 100W charger from an

Good to know. I realize Whisper is new, but I have been blown away by its performance. I would think a revamped device could do all of the processing locally. Probably anathema to the space, but if the devices leaned into the ~five tasks pe

Do the current Alexa devices do their voice recognition on device on in cloud? Curious what are their operational costs for the service, because I naively thought that the device handled the basic operations (timer, weather) with some API c

Military propaganda is a thing. Display strength or say nothing at all.

Really hard to dissuade people from passion. From a different perspective: teachers. From most absolute criteria, teaching is a horrible profession. Significant credential requirements, lousy pay, hard hours, dealing with occasional rotten

Planet Money did an episode about this, The Spiderman Problem: https://www.npr.org/2022/01/28/1076531156/the-spider-man-pro... Short story is that Marvel licensed Spiderman for cheap with a clause that S

Given Intel seeming to make a stronger push, I think it more likely that Intel delivers a high RAM (if slower) card into the fray.

The other avenue you can go down is to get a used mini pc from Lenovo/HP/Dell. These are great because the providers are delivering huge volumes meant for corporate America. This means there is competition, and the build quality i

One I would like to see is for dj-database-url ( https://github.com/jazzband/dj-database-url ) to be built-into the project. It is one of those extensions I am always going to install because it is just so handy.

Totally, but you could get a pretty big starting point vs knowing nothing. Especially if it is composed of organic compounds, you have a chance of deciphering some of the molecules. My big hedge - I am not sure the specs of a 40 year old MS

Also, if samples were really given out for testing, I find it incredulous nobody stole a small bit they could throw into a mass spectrometer.

There should be application level auditing and database level. The people with access to managing the database level auditing should be extremely limited.

HR is an arm of corporate, yes. That being said, anytime personnel decisions come up, all I see is legal hedging that there have to be documented performance problems, policy violations, etc whatever. I think it is a significant stretch tha

Meanwhile, my F500 company fired a guy with cause. Two years later he was re-hired in an entirely different role. When discovered, my director was flabbergasted that HR had not permanently blacklisted him.
