I still wonder why the west hasn’t supplied long range anti shipping missiles in bulk, allowing Ukraine to destroy the Black Sea fleet through a saturation attack. Russia wants Crimea for Sevestapol naval base. They should be shown that’s n

It’s quite competitive. Some of the largest Intel fabs are 52 miles away. But TSMC screwed up when selecting a site in Phoenix. They built on the other side of town. Any engineer currently working at Intel would need to sell their house and

Can you lose fat if you still have calories available in glycogen storage? Or do you need to first burn through the glycogen? Will only carbs work to replenish glycogen storage, or will also fat and protein?

Why doesn’t Europe just ban any Chinese vehicles which contain the metals gallium and germanium that China is refusing to export? Seems justifiable.

I wish this was an option for home scale, using solar generation to create the ice during the day, for cooling needs at night. I live in the desert, so no shortage of solar energy, but require cooling at night. A Tesla power wall couldn’t f

Don’t be so sure. I have a friend with a “normal” BMI, who started taking Mounjaro. Last photo I saw of her, she was looking like a BMI bordering underweight. Lots of social pressure built up in people’s minds, and this is an easy button to

The Embraer 190 shows 1 incident, but when you click to read the details, there were two fatal accidents. Why the discrepancy?

9600 guns were purchased for the program (over three years) There are 110k commercial pilots. So, roughly 10% for the lower bound. Assuming a career of 30 years as an airline pilot, that’s 3666 new pilots per year, suggesting that every new

Approximately 1/3 of US commercial pilots have had military service. Expect they’re all armed. The pilots I know aren’t ex-military, and yet are still armed.

by jmpman 3y ago
All commercial pilots I know are armed. Not sure how necessary this second barrier is, but likely a small cost when factored into overall ticket prices.

Can someone explain why Airline pilots are allowed to go on strike, pretty much at will, without government intervention, but railroad workers, who are paid a tiny fraction of pilots, are forced back to work? I expect the UPS drivers will b

In the skilled fields, the justification for immigration is the lack of qualified local workers. However when I look at women and minority participation in STEM fields, they’re highly underrepresented. So, there’s plenty of people who can b

If minimum wage were suddenly eliminated, the least skilled would now compete in a free market for their wages. Housing prices would fall, in the slums.

My hypothesis - in housing constrained locations, the minimum wage drives rental prices. Landlords of these lowend non-rent controlled properties extract all gains when minimum wage rises, as minimum wage workers compete with their newly ex

I don’t have any quantifiable data, but although I’m certain the majority of the weigh has been fat, I’m sure I’ve lost quite a bit of muscle too.

I’m hopeful that it’s more like 3 months out of the year. Looking back over the years, I’ve gained roughly 5lbs/year since I hit 30. Now in my late 40’s, during Covid, it seems like that went to 10lbs/year. The first 3 months on

I’m 6’1”, and my goal weight is 210. In theory I should get down to 180, but expect I’d be too skinny. Currently 246, so I have 6-8 months for my personal goal, and at $1200/month, I may self fund for the remaining 3-4 months to hit th

I’ve been on Mounjaro since August. Down almost 60lbs, and it’s been a life changer. Have I had some gastrointestinal issues, sure, but expected. I feel great and my brain seems to be functioning as well as when I was in my 20’s. Now, when

Moral issue? I disagree. This is a simple competition for skilled labor, where one of the perks up for negotiation is the option to work from home. I’m willing to leave my company for another that guarantees my remote work, and I may be wil

I’m a huge fan of this idea, except for the practical need for entrepreneurs. I’ve read that entrepreneurs need $20M. That seems like a rather high bar to set, but the unintended consequences of setting it too low would paralyze its impleme

They’re using a clustering algorithm, which is effectively comparing against peers, isn’t it?

by jmpman 3y ago
You’re effectively using https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little%27s_law to deduce component performance as service time. I’ve found the peer filtering mechanism to work as well. It can also work if the entire node is s

Frustrating that a layoff could destroy such an iconic brand. Similarly Intel’s fumbles in fabrication started roughly 8 years ago following a big layoff. Makes you wonder if there really are just a few critical people in these big orgs tha
