I worked at a company with a technician who clearly did not understand this. When I asked him to order an assortment of resistors with a range of values, he came back to me and said that Digikey did not have most of them. Turns out he had s

It's not very effective, then. Back when most people were masked, I had little trouble recognizing most people from the uncovered parts; facial recognition software is even better at it. And many of these masked activists are happy to

Actually, "Hamas should run the entire Levant" does seem to be the view of a lot of these protesters. And "opinions you dislike" is an oddly mild characterization of the actual slaughter of gays that happens under Hamas

From these pictures, and others I've seen, it seems that the last people still routinely wearing masks are leftist activists. Is there some political statement behind this, or are they trying to hide their identity?

I always refuse to answer, as a matter of principle. The HR people will fill it in themselves, anyway.

The correlary to that is that the "yield" goes down for all but the very most competitive colleges, so colleges have to build longer waitlists to ensure a full class. And more uncertainty for everybody.

What is "Socialist-anarchist"? It sounds like a self-contradictory political philosophy.

The other problem with "project-based assessments" is that the grading is inherently subjective; I could see the graders being under pressure to "equalize" the results in the interest of "equity."

I can't think of any motive for this other than blind, ignorant hate.

Debt is never "wiped away." It is paid off by somebody, in this case the US taxpayers.

Is this satire? Does literally everything have to be segregated by race now? What is not "inclusive" or "equitable" about Old Farts With Unix Skills?

At several points during a typical engineer's career, he/she will be offered the "opportunity" to move into a less-technical role; for example, engineering management, product management, or sales. These transfers, even

I have a friend in a similar business who was honest enough to admit that his impact on society was "likely negative, at best neutral," but it was a comfortable living.

When I was 19 and naive, I was interviewed for a desperately-needed summer job selling dictionaries door-to-door. The head interviewer wore a three-piece suit, gold watch, and an expensive haircut. He told me that as a demonstration of my i

Don't plan to watch the video...but I loved Grooveshark! I couldn't believe it was legal. Turns out it wasn't.

Because you could have waited on paying off your loans, and under Biden's plan you would have got $20K handed to you. In that case, the decision to pay off your loans would have carried an opportunity cost of $20K to you. "I hope

Agree...but any program to subsidize education should be done in a well-understood, predictable manner. It is deeply unjust and arbitrary for the government to retroactively hand out money to some people based on decisions they made long ag

Not the list I expected. I was looking for technical books like, say, Kernighan and Ritchie, or "Classical Electrodynamics" by J.D. Jackson. This is a list of popular books "about" technology.

I've found Airbnb to be worth it when I need a house for a large family group, like 8 people, when we want a common living and dining area instead of 4 separate hotel rooms. Otherwise, I agree--for 2 people, a hotel room is always a be

What was the rationale for not requiring plates? California is also the only state I've driven in where the freeways don't have mile markers. How are people supposed to report the location of an accident or breakdown?

What happens if you don't pull over? In cities like Philadelphia now (and I'd be surprised if this is not also the case in many CA cities), the police are not allowed to chase cars. So if you want to commit a crime, remove the pla
