The article hints at the ability to make multiple layers with a single lithography step. That seems incorrect based upon my mental model of how semiconductors are typically manufactured. I’d expect a lithography process for every layer. Wh

My friend used to shoot his silenced pistol in his garage, in a suburban neighborhood. Now it was just a .22lr, but he was never noticed.

My son has an Uber Teen account, but has always been hesitant to use it. A couple weeks ago, my car was in the shop, my wife had the other car, but my son was supposed to be dropped off at a birthday party. I fired up Uber and put in the ad

In an NBA reference, the fallen elite athletes from US teams would venture to Europe or Asia and play there. They’re still getting paid, and the European teams are better because of it. There are 1000’s of accounts where these solutions arc

I work in a prestigious group within my company. The solutions architects across the company aspire to this group. As such, the cream rises to the top, and I work with amazing engineers. Unfortunately the 6% yearly PIP quota must be met, ev

I wish they still had target display mode. Then I could connect my work laptop to a “home” iMac. Was a good setup when I could use my iMac as a gaming computer back in the x86 days.

Interesting point about MDM. Could the government compel my employer to use their MDM control of my device to gain access?

I’m not aware of the root cause. I thought they just stopped being able to sleep, and the buildup of whatever junk in the brain eventually caused death.

I’d like to see if anyone with Fatal Familial Insomnia has been treated with this pattern. I expected that insomnia stops this glymphatic clearance, and that’s what eventually kills them.

I expect the slumlords are the major recipients of increased minimum wage, not the workers. In a perfectly inelastic market, such as Southern California housing, landlords can keep raising rents until the lowest end of the market can no lon

I’d like if the study would track the monthly rental prices for the lowest end of the rental market - studio apartments in subprime neighborhoods. I expect those landlords were the major beneficiaries of the minimum wage hike, and the actua

What makes trust fund children more deserving of resources than anyone else? When these estate taxes are avoided, yes, illegitimately through lobbying, then the rest of society shoulders their burden. The difference between a trust fund bab

The US should restrict India until they stop supplying our enemies. A tariff on IT development in India should be sufficient.

Ah yes, the libertarian’s dream. I have a different view of fair - no taxes, except for estate tax of 100%. That’s “more” fair. Equalizes society.

Building a business empire your entire life, taking loans against that business, having step up cost basis upon death, leaving everything to your heirs - without estate taxes - isn’t “fair”

This is the most frustrating news I’ve read about taxes. As an American, I’d like to think that our tax system was designed to be fair. Yes, Warren Buffet’s secretary famously paid a higher tax percentage than he did, because all of his wea

Why doesn’t our H1B system adjust the yearly number of slots based upon these metrics? From a tech worker, I just see the H1Bs as flooding an already saturated market.

Their bean burrito prices have increased in proportion to the rest of their items. What else is in a Taco Bell bean burrito? Onions, cheese, oil, salt. Something else?

Did pinto beans and wheat (tortillas) prices increase that much at the commodity level?

The Russian invasion of Ukraine suggests that Russia may be willing to go down that path. If China invades Taiwan, I can absolutely see a scenario where this happens. China, being export driven, would likely have a harder time than it expec

Yes. Likely out of their Dallas HQ. And I agree that I’d rather have AI than someone out of the Philippines or Costa Rica or India.

Thinking about this in terms of a Gaussian distribution, is a 1 MOA gun one which shoots 2 std deviations within 1 MOA? 3 std deviations? A simple 5 round group seems like it would provide some information, but not enough to fully character

In Phoenix, it’s regularly over 100f until past midnight. I expect my AC is running 24x7, but maybe with just a lower duty cycle at night.

Where I live, the major consumer of power is cooling. I want to build an underground pool, that each day, during solar peak, I use the excess energy to freeze the water. Then during the evening, use that ice block to cool my house - with on

These are just corporations raising prices. They raise and lower prices in order to maximize profit. That’s what corporations do. The only way they’re finding greater profit when raising prices is because the consumer is willing and able to
