I grew up in Hawaii and this is the first time I've ever heard of this. There are lots of low-probability diseases like this out there. You're probably more likely to die on the car ride to/from the airport than something lik

Gotta wash your salad! I know when traveling, a lot of people recommend using a produce washing agent. I was curious to look this up to see what they're doing. EcoLab has their safety data sheet published here[0]. You mix it with water

Interesting to think about what the future could look like. What if breaker boxes were "smart" and able to negotiate higher voltages like USB-C does? It would avoid the problem of a kid sticking a fork in an outlet, or a stray wir

If we could magically pick a frequency and voltage for electrical systems to use (without sunk costs), what would it be? What's the most efficient for modern grids and electronics? Would it be a higher frequency (1000hz)? I know higher

Do you get more bandwidth at the cost of latency? Also how much would stuffing a GPU or 3 (3090/4090) improve speeds, even with heavy CPU layer offloading, or would the penalty be too big? I know in some cases you're swapping data

I had a close friend who was at Blue for a few years under Bob Smith (former CEO). It wasn't great. Just a toxic culture it seemed like, and their HQ is a giant stretch fabric tent with terrible acoustics lol

I work in security and this surprised me to see. Not that these companies got hacked, but the scope of the attack being simultaneous. Coordinated. Popping multiple companies at the same time says something about the goals the PRD has. It ri

Yes haha exactly. I'm sure I could figure out the code to slinkify any object which would be pretty fun For a non-circle that still works for slinky purposes, I'm sure some sort of geometric prism would be cool. Maybe I'll ta

I've been 3D printing slinkies (helical coils) and I used build123d for it. Somebody on HN recommended it as a first pass if you don't know CAD. It's a little rough but I was able to get it to do what I needed it to! Here&#x2

Is Hackintosh even usable these days after the transition to ARM? I've been wondering if that will kill it or if the new Windows on ARM machines from Qualcomm will revive the market. Just feels like too much special magic in Apple&#x27

There are also a lot of geopolitical interests in helping Intel succeed. As much as investors might balk at Intel today, the amount of money that Western governments can toss at the problem is effectively infinite. (Looking at Defense contr

I think one of OPs points is that it is more of a boost for juniors and a "tax" for seniors. The senior engineer wouldn't open a PR without cleaning up the code; the junior can't tell the difference.

Seems like he wants to cut it and it will be hard because the Red majority wants it (lots of jobs in the South). Seems like maybe the SLS++ could get canned. I am very curious to see what moves happen with this guy in charge.

I can't tell if this is similar to PHA or not, but that's a plastic you can buy for 3d printing today that is touted to break down in seawater. https://www.fabbaloo.com/news/pha-colorfabbs-fully-biodegrad...
