It's not all rolling over, the NYT article, unsurprisingly (cheap shot, but their quality has fallen) doesn't mention that there's a significant risk or positional asphyxiation.[1] The same incline which is helping with the l

There in lies the issue with forums which allow voting without comment on other comments. I'm personally preferential to the 2channel/2chan/4chan system of no votes and no tree threading. But if there's a voting system,

The shuttle was essentially just a glider once you got it out of orbit. Not a very good glider, but still an object intend to "fly". I think the best analogy I've heard for the boosters is that it's equivalent to throwin

So is a black hole 3 dimensional? Is it a sphere? Or does it only work in certain directions? Does everything "fall" the same direction? I ask because even in a brief history of time, the diagrams are very "single plane of sp

I can "see" a playback of a drive to a certain location in my mind. Like a dashcam video. But I can also "move the camera" off the dash and to 3rd person over-the-shoulder like in a racing game, and continue the drive.

A while ago I took to asking people who speak fluent English as a second language what language they think in. To my surprise, a lot of them said they don't really think in a language or voice. I've got a King Arthur's damn r

I'm just providing facts. NYT fired a ton of editors, because they're expensive.[1] They've also hired younger, cheaper writers. As a result, the overall quality of the product has fallen, noticeable. [1] https://w

And the time it takes to realize your iPad has run out of battery or you accidentally open an advertisement before grabbing your paper manual is too long. The manuals have never been an issue. In fact, having a physical, rigorous checklist

The NYT fired basically their entire editorial staff in 2017. The accelerated degradation has been noticable.

But brain to body size is determined by meat and fat consumption. Gorillas are big primates for their brain size. Chimps eat quite a bit of meat, and are not only generally ranked "smarter", but have a bigger brain for their relat

This is new news? O thought it was established a while ago that humans have only made the progress we have because of an increase in animal fat consumption. Hell, with a few exceptions, you can cluster mammals in a pretty accurate grouping

For a lot of Americans, the first stop they make on the way to work is Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts or McDonald's for coffee. It's bizarre.

by huffmsa 8y ago
Say you make the US average $56k, you're spending 3.2% of your income on coffee. 3.2% on bean water. But who with a latte addiction just buys the latte? Kick in one of AOCs $7 croissants a day (extreme for the sake of example) and yo

Well that shifts the value away from the bill being a promissory note and back to being the actually valuable item. Kind of like a commodities backed currency, which most nation's try to avoid.

I'm not talking about big companies. The question is about poetry vs side projects which in the US bloom into startups. So again, 1) there are more regulatory barriers to making the side project => startup jump, and 2) finding both

I'm more talking about the difficulty associated with going from side project to fledgling company. In the US you just slap up a Delaware Corp, use basically standard documents for it's structure and ownership and you're off

Regulations. Plain and simple. Your employees aren't allowed to work their asses off. They're going to expect to be able to get to work at 10, and be home by 5.
