I think we're getting there. One big reason everyone assumes tech workers are all young is because tech has been growing so rapidly. I expect to be one of the old farts in a few years because it's still growing. The next generatio

You'll notice the reference to "deterrence" and "you have to look like you mean business". If your ships are rusty on the outside, do the weapons work on the inside?

Probably "grenade". A flashbang grenade is a bright and loud but less destructive grenade used to startle people before an attack. Widely used by American police investigating possession of trivial amounts of marijuana.

Are you expecting to only support institutional investors or retail order flow as well? It seems like this supports pushing the notional to shares conversion all the way down to the exchange, which I can see a use for. How does the expressi

I appreciate a study like this that's very straightforward with the limitations. 1. Some people say X. 2. We tested X. 3. Actually, it looks like X might be true. 4. So it would be worth doing a more powerful study.

Mach number is an odd example of a dimensionless number, especially with the example of measuring it in kph or mph (as opposed to being independent of altitude or temperature).

This is a non-apology apology. It's "I'm sorry you feel that way." I don't think I'm reading too much into it either: "I am dismayed that the emails in our study came across as security risks or legal thre

This isn't the kind of issue a code review would catch. Code review will find when the code isn't written to standards or doesn't look maintainable. It isn't going to catch a subtle misuse of a technique that should be v

Right now in California sunrise in winter is around 7-7:30am. Many schools start as early as 7:15am, and most start by 8:15. Moving to year round DST would mean changing from some kids starting school right at sunrise to most kids walking t

I wonder if Scandinavia could be due to 1/100 of a crown being even more ridiculously small than a penny. Wikipedia tells me that only Denmark still has sub-krone coins, and that's 50 ore. When I was in the (US) military, none of
