Because it is pretty simple to account for who got the vaccine and who did not. And running entire population through antibody test just to find, in most cases, that you still need to administer the vaccine is just wasteful.

I agree that minimum wages are too low but the argument that wages should track productivity is false from economical point of view, in my opinion. The argument would be true if how people contribute to economy did not change. But over time

And... they found it looks at the name of the patient on the border of the image or something similar. Like the time some team tried to evolve an FPGA net to solve some problem efficiently with a genetic algorithm and it learned to use a bu

I pretty much think it has nothing to do with americans sucking at fractions. Let's face it. Quarter-pounder sounds way better. What does even third-pound mean? When I read the article title I haven't even immediately recognized i

Now the real question is, when can I order my replicator and dilithium crystals to power it?

Exactly. Energy usage and density are major costs. Data centers throw away perfectly good hardware because at some point if you factor in density and energy usage that CPU might be worth less than zero.

Pretty poor advice. Better advice would be: think critically about what you are getting from high school. Use it as a tool to get what you need or skip it if you think you have better use of your time and money. Good reason to not skip high

I disagree. Let's take your example of Mark Z. What makes you think that this is unique case? What about people that suddenly come to fame, like viral video subjects? A simple solution is to disallow logging in from new devices and the

Then the title should be something like "How many people a team leader can be in charge of?" It is fault of the author to give a misleading title, not mine as a reader to pick on it.

Any number of people. Probably the author meant "supervise". There is fundamental difference between leadership and management and it is pretty poor performance on author's part to write about leadership and management and no

I think it is public service to show historical events from a different perspective. Reading about something is one thing, being able to experience as it happened, the same way most people experienced -- from media, is another.

@dang, can we get the obvious spam crap removed somehow? Maybe instantly hide or at least minimize dead content? Or maybe restrict discussion to people who get at least some karma?

Isn't that what I wrote? That separating the charge would be equivalent to adding potential energy basically adding to mass of your 70kg body so that it no longer is 70kg?

> In short, if I lost 1% of my electrons, I would not be a person anymore. I would be a bomb. A Coulomb bomb, if you will, with an energy equivalent to that of ten billion (modern) atomic bombs. Which would surely destroy the planet.

> Road damage per-axel is proportional to the weight carried by the axel raised to the fourth power! That's not true. But the truth is even worse than that. The effect is highly non-linear. Depending on type, composition, age and te

Funny note: one Polish publishing company contracted me to retype the entire translated text of the book and typeset it in LaTeX for publication. They lost the original source of the translation, so I just got a stack of printed paper to wo

It was DC environment. I measure latency on a client, on service and on using some very expensive, cut-through switches. This shotgun method lets me lazily detect where the latency comes from with a single look. I understand not everybody h

Couple of years ago I had this idea that most REST calls I had in my app could easily fit a single packet if encoded in binary. I rolled my own framework for fun that did REST-style communication but sans TCP, HTTP and JSON. This improved l

> It can be complicated, but usually it's not. The usual story. Everything works, until it doesn't. If you are a huge corp with good engineering you can have people dedicated to understanding k8s and then it kinda makes sense.

I think number of features have little to do with the situation. Nowadays, everybody insists on putting stuff on K8s regardless of how large or small it is. An application is an application for the purpose of running it on a server. It does

Yes, milestone would be better because it is an arbitrary point that doesn't need to have some special significance other than the fact it is easy to detect when it has been reached.

Aren't you overhyping it a little bit? Crossing the Rubicon (Rubicon is a river)? Civilians were being already sent in 1986 (unsuccessfully...) and in 1990 (successfully). What's a difference between a civilian that has or has not

In Polish language, east/west are actually called "sunrise"/"sunset". Yes, at least in Polish language all planets rotate the same way:)

This is not at all about opthamologists. Ability to grow any organ from stem cells, let alone as complex as an eye, is breathtaking development that up until now was basically Sci-Fi. I don't have a lot of knowledge in the field, but

Patenting does not supercharge anything after it has been issued. If the patent is really breakthrough, the result is it tends to stifle competition while the holding party entrenches to milk their asset. The only way patenting can ever hel

I think one way this could be improved is, instead of giving an exact answer (which is provably impossible to do correctly) maybe it could be possible to point the developer to other repositories where other people were solving similar prob
