Yes, quite a few developers left our investment bank and went to work for our suppliers (of trading software), stating they'd rather work somewhere where they're seen as value creators rather than a cost center.

Related: I really enjoyed the movie Inglourious Basterds. It was especially original and interesting, as it relied heavily on languages and accents for the plot. However, what killed my suspension of disbelief (as a native French speaker) w

It's interesting that you mention this. He had a very difficult father, and a difficult relation with him. Obviously he overcame that hurdle and became quite successful. However, his half-brother, 15 years his junior, who also successf

How is this the first time I have gained an intuitive feeling for refraction? Instead I've been taught to simply accept Snell's law. It feels very powerful that a single hypothesis - and a reasonable one at that (namely that the e

Thanks for the feedback. The Docker container is a good idea! Let's see if it fixes my audio issues. Note that outside of audio being disabled on a regular basis (and there being no way of setting it back up properly), I am also happy

Yes, this is infuriating. And users report similar problems with audio in Windows too... Unfortunately your killall workaround does not work for me. I have to restart my laptop every time I have a Teams meeting -.-

My father used to operate a MF 135 on his father's farm in his youth. He bought another one a few years ago. It is now used for mowing grass and thorn at their country house, and to give the grand-kids rides and driving lessons (they l

It reminds me of the Massey-Ferguson models 135 and 165, produced in the 1960s, now among the most popular used tractors, especially in Asia and Africa: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-36479610 "These old Massey

By "this type of vaccine" you mean RNA vaccines? Are you saying that RNA vaccines can be developed faster than dead- or attenuated-virus vaccines?
467.
by isolli 6y ago
I don't have an answer, but the normal timeline should depend on the size of the population that you intend to vaccinate. Testing a vaccine for 6 months and then deploying to hundreds of millions... seems short.

Did they have accurate true north declination values at the time? Or were maps oriented (locally) according to magnetic north?

And how about this one: an Excel error was the cause for much unnecessary austerity after the 2008 financial crisis, costing potentially tens (hundreds?) of billions in lost output. https://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/

It would be a shame if it closed. But I entirely agree with you: searching for content is very limited! There should be a proper search function, by keyword, with the ability to filter by publication. For instance I once read part 1 of a ve
