I don’t think productivity was ever the goal of this software. It was to have a record that is standard, digital, transferable, etc. Going a little further, this was appealing in part to avoid simple medical errors & oversights. Losin

It depends heavily on how much your house showers, what the water temperature is at the inlet to the house, and how ideal your plumbing is. The efficiency is highest with a vertical unit at least five feet in length, and that’s really just

On the other hand, I’ve seen very strong candidates who nominally worked the same job for 10-15 years, but when I probe I discover they have explored every nook and cranny of that job, developing expertise in the entire possible scope. That

The most interesting concept here (to me) is the idea of taking a variable length instruction set and optionally promising to align instructions. If you did this, the code could switch between dense and wide as it pleased, getting either th

The weird part is the lag. You want to escape for 5 minutes. But you only want that now because you couldn't escape for years before . If you stopped to think about it, maybe you don't really want those five minutes. If only yo

Ever since I read all the hand wringing about how higher gas & energy prices are regressive & hurt the poor I’ve come to the same viewpoint as you. It’s not like I prefer high energy prices, but in a capitalist system that’s pretty

You've certainly got a point, but if a regulator has the ability to indirectly swing the valuation 10%, they stand to gain at most $1.5k which should be in the realm of a week's pay. It's an interest to be sure, but it would

It’s definitely in the same orbit, but I would connect it more closely to the high risk, high variance strategies taken by males, which drive mentioned traits such as aggression, disagreeableness, & danger.

The usual answer is third party reputation tracking and resultant self-regulation as a silver bullet. Hopefully the Yelp mafia have disabused people of that notion.

How does that make sense? If anybody can snap up your property from under your feet at any time, you are forced to value your property higher than literally every other person in existence, which is axiomatically not a fair valuation. See t

Even if we know something to be true, proving it to be true is often the first step in answering “why”. Once we can prove it, we can test it and experimentally isolate the key components. This is, for example, how willow bark lead to aspiri

I am still trying to figure out how CIM is supposed to work out. The highest density storage shares a single access structure among many bits (see SRAM design). This is antithetical to real CIM, because you fundamentally have to read &

It’s certainly an exaggeration, but there are a billion or so military age people in the world, and millions of people waiting in the U.S. visa backlog. I would not be surprised if such a program was very popular.
