Yes you can even adjust the frequency based on which demographics you want to keep from loitering. There is a predictable hearing loss curve for the highest frequencies. You could set it to 20kHz to keep little kids away, or even go as low

It’s like saying you’ll rewrite Romeo and Juliet because you already know they die at the end. It’s a little more nuanced than that!

I’ve always followed Paul Graham’s advice: “live in the future, then build what’s missing.” If you’re really good at a few different things, and smart enough to learn how to do everything else, then usually the optimal startup idea is somew

No manager is going to lose their job by hiring 10 Python and JavaScript engineers to accomplish what could be done with 1 Elixir engineer. And that’s how most time and effort is allocated in our tech labor market economy. It’s by working b

The AI bit of the story is a bit of alarmist spin. As alleged he simulated traffic to music streaming sites and received royalty for it, even though no one created the music being "played" and no one was really listening. It'

There is no evidence. Because the defendants have remained anonymous, the court issues what’s called a “default judgment.” Essentially this means that since the defendants’ did not present their case, the court is obliged to accept the plai

What you are describing is an org smell[0] I think. On-call should be used to handle urgent, emergent situations that need to be addressed at once in order to keep the business running. What you are describing as the responsibilities of you

The simplest solution is to compensate the on-call engineer, either by paying them 2 times their hourly rate per hour on-call, or by accruing them an hour of vacation time per hour on-call. This works because it incentivizes all parties to

Fare evaders are often critics of the high price, not realizing that the price could apparently be cut in half if all riders simply cooperated to pay the fare.

Once again we see evidence that AI-for-all is not bottlenecked by research but by the physical limitations of compute infrastructure.

In California, domestic water is priced by each hundred cubic feet (HCF). Agricultural water is priced by each acre-foot. Both units sell for about $1. One HCF is about 747 gallons. One acre-foot is more than 325,000 gallons!

Seems low to me. It seems quite plausible for SpaceX to be able to complete a space mining operation given their current operations and runway. If you can bring a trillion dollar rock back to Earth or at least LEO every few years, that&#x27
