I had a few hours with Dan at a Think Conference, back in 2008. I was working on a Smalltalk implementation of SSL, and it was having connection issues to different servers. So someone pointed me at him, and he walked me through how to trou

The M72 is designed to be single shot disposable. It may be possible to reload it, but it is not intended and would be difficult. It would also be potentially dangerous as the construction is quite light.

Part of the problem is that it had none of the filtering tools of NLS, and the linking/sharing/addressing tools had a terrible UI. It could have used some kind of changelog/journal as well. I wish someone could have shown the

I would argue there are a (thankfully small) number of engineers that could be characterized as -2x. At least the 1/10x ones are making forward progress.

Assuming USD 65K for a Tesla 3, that is 1,184,615 cars. Not quite enough, but the prices of self driving cars is going to go down, and the cost of the HSR is only going to go up. Of course, you could just build a restricted access freeway,

Assuming you are talking about the Castle Bravo test, it was 2.7 times larger than predicted not 1000. I can't think of any test offhand that was 1000x off the predicted yield, unless you count the fizzles that might have been 1/1

To be fair, Krugman's work on trade theory was deserving of the Econ pseudo-Nobel. He can be a very good economist when he isn't being politically partisan and making claims along the lines that those who disagree with him are bad

Enjoy your perfect vision while you can. For some of us with broken eyes it isn't so easy. Most dark modes cause far less bloom for me. I use 3rd party extensions to adjust colours and contrast, but they often don't produce good
