Many investment style schemes will continue on until a recession exposes everything. Much like the Madoff ponzi. It went on for decades until a once in a lifetime financial industry blow up exposed it.

You'll need a beefy cpu to transcode pretty much any 4k video without hardware transcoding.

I assume when stock prices are down, then more stock is granted to make up for it no? Obviously, the stock continuing to fall after the grant will result in less tc.

By their logic, startups are for (primarily) white people who come from well off families or otherwise well off individuals that can afford to subsidize and supplement the investor's cash infusion.

Hadn't really thought about it before. But sounds like a good way to frame someone for a crime.

One law enforcement officer was hit in the leg. They had a "No knock warrant" but then have testified that they knocked and identified themselves as police before breaking down the door in plainclothes. Color me unconvinced. They

They were almost immediately useful, maybe not for the touch aspect but for the large screen that could actually browse the full web without being nearly as clunky as everything else on the market.

I'd start with the childlike superlatives like pointing out "the best epidemiologist in the world". As if there is some world Olympics of epidemiologists to decide such a thing. Being full of memes isn't usually a good s

Clearly masks helped reduce flu, but also simply being more socially distanced in general. Of course, many people have a hard time thinking deeply about things like this. Many actually have cited the lack of flu cases as proof of misclassif

You seem to think that COVID was definitely man made, but we still don't have enough data to make any kind of assertion on that. Some recent finds lean more to a zoonotic source. As for censorship, I don't think anyone is censorin

The only case I can think of where there is a mandatory minimum tip in the US is that a lot of restaurants will charge a minimum gratuity for parties larger than 6-8.

1 in 300 million, 1 in 100 million, both basically round down to zero chance. People playing it obviously aren't good at math, so I assume they get more benefit from the huge numbers because it gets more press.

Except 90% of solar panels don't get recycled. Only hypothetically could be. If we are going to play hypotheticals, there are viable nuclear technologies that produce almost no waste and can even harvest radioactive material from ocean

I'm not talking about transparency in who is going to be fired. Apparently, employees have no idea who is in charge. Musk is the "chief twit" and no one has replaced the executives who were fired. Musk seems to be barking out

That's why almost all voting machines leave an auditable paper trail.

I have been really interested in solar and battery energy storage lately since both have become so cheap. I had wanted to build my own battery for a while now but lithium ion battery tech seemed a little dangerous to put in my garage. But I

The sudden inventory shortage was due to the pandemic. Many people took their houses off the market in order to wait and see how things were going to play out. Hiring slowed down as well and many that did change jobs went to remote jobs. Yo

Seems more likely they are just trying to get some people back in to train whoever will be taking over their duties. Which is why cutting so many employees should be done carefully and with at least a little bit of planning. You are throwin

It's Musk, but also, because it's Musk, there is just a lot more coverage of the details of what is going on. The biggest issue I see is that the employees are just in the dark. They literally have to follow Musk's public Twi

I believe one of the things that necessitated the verification was lawsuits from famous people being impersonated on Twitter. Now that you have to pay to be verified, seems like they might be open to that liability again.

I read an interesting factoid about nuclear waste. It was that the amount of energy that an average human will use over their entire lifetime would create about a soda can full amount of nuclear waste. I'm guessing the solar panel wast

It sounds like that is what they are doing. Deprioritizing, to me means that even after 1 TB, you would still have full speed assuming enough bandwidth is available.

My guess is that the majority of employees at Twitter are not in fact engineers.

I don't think you are correct here. It may vary by plant species, but plants grown under grow lights in the correct spectrum grow significantly faster than a control plant in direct sunlight.

I don't think wheat is a good candidate. But also, that article is about an art installation and it doesn't appear to be using narrow band light emission as the light color directly over the plants looks rather natural.

Yes, but equity holders don't have mandatory service payments. So they can't force a bankruptcy. Too much and it might make it a poor investment, but it doesn't affect cash flow. It's not a public emergency if a big comp

I don't think employee salaries would be included in infra costs. Except maybe the employees that work directly on maintaining the infrastructure.

There is no way the average salary of all the employees cut would be $300k. I'd be surprised if the average was higher than $100k. At least one source I found says the average salary of Twitter employees is $97k. (US only total compens

The vast majority of voting machines in the US creates a paper trail. Usually, you vote and the system prints out a receipt showing your vote which is then kept in the case of later hand audits.
