It's a condition of the severance payment. She didn't need to sign it. She wanted the money. Then she violated the terms of the contract.

You must be thinking of a different boondoggle, the E-767, which is the obsolete radar package from the E-3 bolted to a 767. The E-7 is a 737.

The prototype E-7 cost $2 billion. It's a 737 with some radios.

It's only "high tech" to the aforementioned cavemen. To everyone else it's a 707 you can't even get spare tires for any more, equipped with some truly obsolete technology aboard. I mean it has a mechanical waveguide

That's how anti-aircraft missiles always work.

In my experience the contents of the message are all but totally irrelevant to the classification, and it is the behavior of the mailing peer that gives all the relevant features.

Does spam filtering really need a better model? My impression is that the whole game is based on having the best and freshest user-contributed labels.

The Trump administration is secretly the head of a renewable energy accelerationist front, or at least that's the effect in practice.

It is not counterintuitive at all, unless you misunderstand the income levels of the poor. Sending everyone $1400 massively increased the income of the poorest Americans.

Why does this surprise you? There were large, direct transfers to initially children, then everyone. This was the largest and most effective American anti-poverty program of all time.

Setting -j doesn't seem to help any. Rush still does this faster (160ms vs. 250ms for frun)

This is a solid two times slower than `rush` in my test case. Which is along the lines of this: echo 0* | rush -n 100 -j 32 -D ' ' -J ' ' -- jq -rf my_program.jq {} Although to adapt to your style I did this inste

That's exactly my point. "Losing" your RSUs is the same as losing all your other income that you did not earn because you don't work there any more.

OK but for most people a 16-week acceleration is still forfeiting 92% of unvested shares.

Oracle has made a large bet on being a cloud, but nobody wants their terrible cloud, which is reflected in their dollar-store prices. They staffed up and built facilities that they can't sell so I am not surprised they are now swinging

That's what the word "vested" means.

It is sort of baffling that people make some of these hideous fonts, look at them, and decide to publish them regardless. A font where the lowercase i and l are indistinguishable? Okay...

Which is the default, and 99.9% of Firefox users, 99.99% of all users will not have this issue.

It's also the case that performance of a hashmap, or anything, in a small-scale benchmark may not reflect the performance in a large system that does things other than manage maps. There are side effects like how many icache lines are

"it might've been something like Honeywell or Rockwell" Right rectangular prism with MIL-STD circular connectors on one side describes almost all Cold War era hardware. Could have been anything.

Haha hours. There is no upper bound. The average Amtrak delay on Norfolk Southern is 19 minutes per 100 miles. And the worst cases are all horror stories. A freight operator sidetracks Amtrak while a miles-long coal train rolls through at a

> none of those other facts were different back then. That is not correct. Small-scale solar capacity in California today stands at 19GW. In 2002, it was 45MW. That is a more than 400-fold increase. Title 20 and 24 rules have dramaticall

Binary programs are executed on the CPU but the program file is an archive with sections, and only one of them is the program, usually, while the others are all metadata. The CPU isn't capable of understanding the program file at all

That makes sense. I have a long-standing beef with the mimalloc-bench people because they made a bunch of claims in their paper but as recently as 2022 they were apparently not aware of the distinction, and the way they tried to shoehorn tc

No, the bottom line on the monthly bill is what matters.

The volumetric rate for electricity is almost totally irrelevant. California's bills are dominated by the fixed cost of the grid, and we use very little grid power compared to other states, so the volumetric rate has to be really hig
