I thank Lou for his contributions. Cassette mixtapes were a huge part of teen life in the 80s. I fondly remember the mix tape. Exchanging mix tapes was a huge part of both my friendships and romantic interests. Spent many hours creating

This seems like a strange thing to do.

Honestly your site blows away the competition. AFAIK you have the best data. Great work and bravo on making compensation more transparent.

Perhaps you are unaware that the Pinkertons have a long history of union busting behavior. The most infamous being their involvement in the 1892 Homestead Steel Strike. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homestead_strike

I had a group of college friends who started taking heroin in the 90’s who thought like this. It upset me and I told them so. At the time they said I was “being uptight.” We fell out over their heroin use. About a year later, one of t

Your comment got me thinking about the coordinate transformation needed to triangulate the position. Having done a good bit of this as a student, I can only imagine what a nasty bit of math that must be! Makes me shudder.

I am really liking VSCode as my IDE in part because I can almost use it like I use Spyder. I used Eclipse years ago and am neutral on it. I can use it if I need to. Just wouldn’t be my go to. I can say same for PyCharm; it’s very powerf

Guess I’m junior then. I learned how to code via scientific coding so I love Spyder for its simplicity. When I want to work deeply on a difficult problem and want to quickly flesh out ideas it’s my go to because it sandboxes really well a

While an interesting idea, I think you’ve greatly understated the problem. First, lasers and coherent light beams diverge, light cannot stay perfectly collimated and it’s not really possible to collimate well over such long distances. So

Starlink satellites are in orbit 550km high. So any journey would add at least 1100km. Moreover not sure that a single satellite would be able to hit another one across transpacific distances and may need to go through multiple hops to g

I would argue that the project never got far enough to tell if it was a successful gaming platform since there are no games that people want to play. I guess given the very limited functionality it’s technically not a failure. But the w

I’m sure if you came about entrepreneurship at the highest difficulty setting, it’s hard to shake your own perspective. As a person who has tried twice and failed both times, I totally agree there is no easy path. There are however, lo

Unfortunately your suggestion is only a half measure and a significant number of break ins are to steal parts off the car itself. Theft of airbags is very common as is theft of catalytic converters. Airbag theft: https://wjla.com

This is true and visible in the Bay Area. There are a number of large properties where the owners have a vineyard. The vineyard is really so some of their land can qualify for agricultural proprietary tax rate.

Yeah not sure I subscribe to MWI. It seems untestable and unprovable and not like science to me. I don’t think your classical CPU analogy is really applicable here. The wave function is exactly that, many values describing the probability

A neutron is a particle but also a wave. You can’t have one without the other. If a neutron is a wave then is it countable?

I used to feel that the stigma should follow you but I’ve changed my mind because I do not believe that stigma works, is overly punitive, and forces people back into crime. Now I believe that if you pay your debt to society, you should be s

I think we already have a system in the West where people are afraid to speak openly; it’s referred to as cancel culture but exists elsewhere. The difference is that it’s not a formal government system but more of a mob social justice syst

This issue is way bigger than Trump. While many are likely rejoicing that Trump has been silenced, I think this decision is short-sighted and bad for everyone all around. Love him, hate him, Trump is the President of the United States an

I think you’ve mischaracterized the discussion. Where did anyone say any of the things you are claiming? The statement was simply that the People have a right to entry into the building and physical access to lawmakers and the law making pr

As a huge democrat (lower case d) I totally agree. Locking down the Capitol is antithetical to the notion of open democracy. Lawmakers and the law making process needs to be physically accessible by the People. This was what the Founder

Did the same with some extra cash I had around but a bit later than you. I think one can trace some of the hate to simple sour grapes and jealousy. I’m also confused why one would wish an economic crash on anyone.

an effective vaccine would have been delayed by maybe 3-6 months, which isn't too bad. You realize such a delay would mean many more people would die not to mention the overall damage to society from lockdowns? I can’t understand h

I think your post is well thought out but you are hand waving a bit too much over string theory’s inability to reduce to known results. Reduction is an important cornerstone in physics and it’s a way to validate if a theory is on the right

I suppose that’s good advice because many people overdrive their vehicle’s AWD in winter but it’s not explicitly correct. Real life as usual is more complicated. Braking in AWD scenario and traction are not same as your example and depends

The capacity of these systems seems really tiny by modern standards as well as highly power inefficient. The fastest link demonstrated was around 5Gb/s at ~160W. This is about 3 orders of magnitude worse from an energy per bit perspe
