Ranked choice voting (the brand name for Instant Runoff or Hare voting) neither theoretically [0] nor empirically [1] has the outcomes for third parties that you think it does. This combined with its other flaws makes it worse than pluralit

Not really. It's actually a fairly good interview practice to see if somebody will defend their solution if probed on it.

It seems unlikely it has a true CO2 sensor for that price point (it could, but the bom price of just the module is over $20). The co2 "equivalent" from VOC sensors is pretty crappy in my experience.

But the (geometric) midpoint between 100k and 1MM is $316,227 which might be surprising to some.

How can you tell? Do you have measurements? You are arguing against real, human-perceivable numbers here. At 200ms interruptions happen more often and the flow of a conversation can't be maintained as well. But you might just chalk tha

Even airpods with apple devices get no better than 100ms latency, with some (Apple device to Apple device!) combinations easily going over 200ms. It's nigh unusable for anything other than listening to music or recorded video.

bluetooth codec support is an entire can of worms and you just end up falling back most of the time. The latency of most codecs is also terrible.

The solution of "huge beefy modular power supply" involves starting with a power supply that is way overkill; here, we can expand piecemeal. Nothing is more modular than a separate unit. Modular power supplies don't allow you

At this rate, why don't graphics cards just have external power supplies? They're the largest power consumers by far and this would mean you could expand GPUs without having to resize the system power supply. This also means you c

I think people much prefer thinking they know something with a superficial overview (see things like the popularity of TED talks). Responses from LLMs are great for this: they look like a cohesive summary but they often end up being total b

This is a fairly good concept but it is not efficient, especially if you're using 1" filters. The operating cost is high because the fan uses a lot of electricity compared to better designed units. See this analysis: https:/

Profits are net of expenses. This is, if anything, an incentive to pay higher bonuses to bankers. So it's more like the bankers will make 500% bonuses instead of 200% and local pension funds will take the penalty.
