yes and no. the difference in cost between the weapon and the countermeasure matters, but it's not the whole story. the value of the thing being defended also matters. in the absence of a viable alternative, it's easily worth burn

it is interesting to think about, but this analysis leaves out too much useful work to draw any meaningful conclusions from. as you point out, raising and caring for children is important work that is mostly uncompensated. the quality of ca

armchair physicist moment: isn't this a straightforward outcome of c as a global "speed limit"? effects can't propagate faster than c, so I would expect that interaction "latency" decreases linearly with scale.

> having laws passed that force a pizza parlor manager to turn their drivers into unemployed app users this sounds like an exaggeration, but I'm not familiar with the law you're referencing. what exactly are you talking about?

why would they? if we're talking about sophisticated espionage, that's more of a job for infosec. if we're talking about AFK time, being secretive defeats the purpose.

the CPU temp can do that, but your typical desktop air tower has a lot of thermal capacity. if it took 5 seconds for the fan to react, that wouldn't be a big issue.

I think it is probably straightforward for a trained professional to document the circumstances of a person's death. I suspect it is a lot harder to conclusively say "but for X, they would have survived". widespread fraud by

aws support is not going to bend over backwards just to let you shoot yourself in the foot. it's more likely they grant an exception to one of the iam quotas.

I don't love nvidia, but this is not the example I would choose to show why. cutting edge hardware exists at prices that are affordable for hobbyists largely because a few key features for commercial use cases can be "artificially

> The problem is that cars don't scale. this isn't very useful. all modes of transportation have scaling limits where it becomes cost or space prohibitive to increase capacity. interestingly, trains have many of the same issues

basically what the sibling said. it's a good idea to isolate dev stages from prod by putting their respective resources in different accounts. it's also good to have separate accounts for different prod regions. people often don&#

this is absolutely a killer feature if you follow the one account per stage per region guidance with AWS accounts (which you really should).

I don't totally follow this argument. the 30% app store commission, iCloud subscription, etc. does not only fund security fixes for the OS and core services. I don't think the average consumer thinks that's what they're

these do work well in my experience, but there is a tradeoff to consider if you live in a large apartment building. if you have roaches in your unit, your neighbors probably do too. if you use this kind of trap, you might attract everyone e

yes, it's totally reasonable. if you aren't sure you're going to like the food, start with a small taste. if you don't like any of the food, take the hit once and don't go back.

levels.fyi is pretty good for what it is, but it's obvious a lot of users don't really understand their comp structure (or at least how it maps onto the form). just for example, there are a lot of amazon L4 sde records that have c

BMWs are actually pretty reliable these days. the b58 is very solid and used all across their lineup. of course, they are still expensive to maintain.

the first key insight here is that brakes can generate much more friction against the wheel than the tire can against any surface you're driving on. this makes the tires the limiting factor for stopping distance, not the brakes. the on

I think this is the wrong question to ask. I'd prefer to see reporters refrain from "connecting the dots". it's not a good fit for the daily/weekly news cycle. there's a lot to discuss on this topic without &qu

probably not. a typical 3br house directly comsumes less than 40 kwh per month. to put that in perspective, that's about the amount of energy contained in a single gallon of gas. large ships are the most efficient way to move bulk good
