When I work at night I won't be in the next day. Or return in the afternoon to clean the branch for review. Sometimes I work a weekend. Love the ability to work on the rainy days and go outside when the weather is good.

It's doubling at the expense of the delta variant. Total cases are not doubling.

I like how the article focuses on the change part. And the importance to include friends in the process. When I finally started dating, it came with the acceptance that it was myself who needed to change. Addressing my insecurities was the

Putty would keep running even if the maintainer disappeared. You can build it yourself. You can find somebody to maintain it for you. What's fragile about that?

Related to what you're after, people prepare movement before they consciously decide to act. I read about this in "The User Illusion" by Tor Nørretranders. He cites Deecke, L., Grözinger, B. & Kornhuber, H.H. Voluntary fi

One of the failsafes is the conservative amounts of insulin the software is allowed to dose on its own. In my case, it is set to never deliver more than 1.2 units of insulin per hour. If it wants to deliver that amount, it will instruct the

The book "Private Truths, Public Lies: The Social Consequences of Preference Falsification" by Timur Kuran offers a good model on this topic. It explains why revolutions are so hard to predict. Because the true preferences of memb

I sure appreciate a technical rant on the topic :-) Haven't thought about conservation of energy in this context. I wonder how this concept came to take hold? If it has no explanatory power, why even offer it?

I'm wondering whether I'm missing something, because whenever this topic comes up I think "the wing accelerates air downwards and the inertia of the air lifts the wing". What's incomplete or complicated about that?

Well, the insurance rate would depend on the performance of the system, wouldn't it? So if it were good, they could sell it cheap.

Ok, I can see how blanks are called live rounds. Still my understanding is: 1. The person handing off said 'cold gun' which to me implies the weapon was not charged with anything. Please clarify if I misunderstood. 2. The victim w

Given that Tesla is hiding behind their users: Why not make the car company liable for any decision the car takes on its own? Accelerating without being able to recognise obstacles? Liable. Unable to decide on the right track without being

How can a blank injure people at a distance?

Is it a common thing to have live rounds on a set? I'm trying to understand how a mistake like this is even possible. One of the rules I remember is that we'd always pull the trigger upon receiving an uncharged gun, to avoid it go

I wondered about that story and concluded that the author knew which computer they wanted. They also knew that this computer came in the smallest box. So they only had to give that second bit of information to get what they wanted. It is a

It wouldn't be framed that way. It would read: "Chance of recovery improves from 98 to 99 percent." Chemotherapy regularily kills people. I would absolutely consider it. Taking a lot of pain to get a chance at extending my li

Isn't that the promise of self-driving? To be passenger? Tesla could have called it "supervised self-driving", and that would be fine with me. But "full self-driving" sounded like more value when they wanted to sell

I found R-Go Tools Split to be a nice and light keyboard for my mobile rig. The only annoyance was the throbbing light in the corner. But a patch of tape fixed that. The stock cable wouldn't allow placing the parts as far apart as in t
