I just had my second child and I refused to give him the Hep-B shot on the first day of his life. The acting pediatrician (not his) asked if I was going to do it "in-office" the following week and I said no. She became visually

The models are always wrong. It's virtually impossible to model something with an impossible amount of unknown inputs. Even accurately measuring the Earth over time is a joke. Unfortunately the models are presented in pop science an

This is what killed IBM PowerPC in the ML market. Tried to get in with a faster CPU with NVLink embedded hoping that would win market share. But what won wasn't a faster machine or better architecture. A platform with more developers

Even better was the BeBox running BeOS. That was a cool use of a fast dual CPU PowerPC platform with great graphics. Amiga vibes. But turns out that humans need software applications more than they need efficient use of the hardware.

This is such a fair read on the situation in America. Hang in there man. You can escape it but you need to leave the country.

I paid extra and scheduled an Uber with a child seat. After waiting 30 minutes, when the car showed up, there was no car seat so the driver canceled right away and drove off. Lesson learned.

Just wait until the Guardian finds out about all the ADHD diagnostic centers, tutors, therapy mills and drugs. Some might say there is a giant money printing industry of nonsense around ADHD.

It has been this way a long time. I interviewed and got a job offer with the Naval Research Lab in the late 1990's. It was a very cool job working on chips for space defense systems and I was told they could match any private offer a

I left my apartment in SF in May and they now have it listed for about 15% less than I was paying and they are tossing in a $1k move in bonus.

I've gone from a big fan of Zoom to now a skeptic. I'm wondering if Zoom might turn out to be the CPP's version of Crypto AG.

In the late ‘90’s I used to brag about my Linux uptime being over a year. And that was a system was directly exposed to the internet. I can’t imagine how many unknown security holes it had during that time.

That was totally my thinking as well. It's fine for me, but if my girlfriend is staying with me I should expect a 4X increase in need.

Correct. 7% decline is a pause. If it drops 13% it will pause for another 15 minutes. If it drops 20% it will end trading for the day.

Sure, It really depends on the potential for abuse and the doctor's decision. There are a lot of critical medications that aren't likely to be abused. If you check with your doctor they may very well write you the prescriptions

I’m reminded of the old comic where it shows that Facebook’s users are the product. The advertisers are the only customers. Why should they care to deal with one billionth of their product if it is accidentally marked bad?

I'm thankful that Hyatt isn't like that. Wifi and all the benefits of status in their program persist even on award nights. In fact, they wave the "resort fees" for all stays if you are their top tier. So at least the

In large US cities they also have to "tip-out" the hotel doorman and the dispatcher so they can get the high value riders.

In the bay area and almost everywhere on the west coast you are looking at over $1k/month in property taxes for that house with a "paid-off mortgage." In most states you never really "own" your home. You only own

Agreed. "Whale" is a standard term in the free-to-play game industry to refer to any account in the top 1% or 2%. It has nothing to do with the age of the player or anything other than the revenue for that account. The majority

I agree that the fault lies with the politician, but I would argue that the real issue is that they forced all ISPs to send notice to customers. If a politician wants something communicated, they can fund a public awareness program, not fo

IMHO ARM64 server chips are suited for the cloud and cloud native applications. Containers and microservices can make better use of the high number of cores and greater mem bandwidth than old monolithic apps. Openstack, Kubernetes and Doc
