I'm impressed that they have managed to take this product to market, and I'm glad that people who value modularity will finally have a viable option. at the same time, I personally don't see what all the fuss is about. you ca

the mounting hardware needed for replaceable dimms inherently takes more space on and above the board. the solder approach also gives more flexibility for board layout, since you don't have to reserve space for the exact size and shape

what is the big picture? to me it looks like a politician wore an expensive dress to an expensive party and (apparently) didn't have to pay for either. I guess the way it relates to her positions is a tad hypocritical, but it's we

great advice, and I'd add that it doesn't even have to be a particularly intelligent question. I found bret devereaux's excellent blog by googling "game of thrones historical accuracy" and got far more than I expect

I don't think this would actually be better for the workers? ceteris paribus, it's better to be paid in cash than stock. stock can be better if it enables a higher TC, or the number of shares is locked in before a major jump in

shotguns do have more stopping power than your average handgun, but your other points are not really true. even with no choke, the spread from a shotgun at home defense ranges is negligible. you still have to point it directly at the target

the US does seem to have a rather unique problem with school shootings. it's certainly worth investigating why this is the case and considering countermeasures. at the same time, and I know this is a cold thing to say, the issue really

it's not clear that people who smoke, eat, and/or overeat actually consume more healthcare over a lifetime. most people incur the majority of their healthcare expenses as they slowly die over the last several years of their life.

keep in mind that most of the latin you end up reading in school is rather formal/complex. it's hard to parse in a similar way that charles dickens is harder to parse than casual/informal english. stuff like de bello gallico

space flight by humans may be pointless for the foreseeable future, but satellites are anything but. gps and satellite imagery have immediate practical utility, just to give two examples.

I'm reminded of the (perhaps apocryphal) story of how starbucks overroasts its coffee beans to achieve a consistent taste despite having multiple sources for beans (necessary due to its scale). the implication being that they sacrifice

private schools are generally set up as nonprofits. "shareholders" are not really a concern, though sometimes you end up with unreasonably high admin salaries.

isn't this what AP courses are, more or less? if you get a high score on the BC calc exam, you can usually skip straight to multivariable or diff eq. I don't think this would work well on a larger scale. deciding your college majo

what exactly is a "smart" monitor? I'm familiar with smart TVs, but I can't see how any of those features could be useful in a screen that I plug directly into a computer.

one of the odd (but kinda nice) things about the amazon hiring process is they dont really care whether your background is a good fit for the position. if you pass their general interview, they will give you a chance on any team with an ope

I suspect these benefits are pretty cheap to offer, at least most years. my employer has a fairly generous tuition reimbursement benefit, but people rarely use it. most people don't want to slowly chip away at a degree on top of a full

in this particular example (NYC subway), it is kinda hard to understand how that benefits people outside of the NYC metro area. I live in a much more distressed mid-atlantic city, and NYC already has one of the best public transit systems

there are plenty of software companies that have pretty easy interview processes. once you get that far, you basically just have to avoid talking your way out of the job. but they don't pay way above the median engineer salary either.

amtrak isn't exactly cheap. I choose it over car/plane whenever it's practical, but I consider that more of a luxury than anything. a single DC<->NYC roundtrip is already more than my monthly car insurance.

I still judge them a bit more harshly, but I do think the sacklers have essentially become the scapegoat for a problem that went far beyond perdue. painkiller prescriptions in the '00s were really wild. I remember a classmate got a thi

you don't really want something that extreme for case fan intake. you end up "paying" for the cleaner air with higher temps or faster (louder) fans. there are some newer cases with a fine mesh screen over the intake fans. I h

legalization is really an orthogonal issue. opioid painkillers are a very useful class of drugs that also have serious potential for addiction. doctors understand this and must balance the risk/benefit trade off. the problem here is no
