I find the way this article converts money for inflation really annoying. $70 million in 2000 is not "$121,613,821.14 in 2023", it's "about $120 million in 2023". The number is changing at about 7c/second. Thos

Try not to call it copyright/patent law. There is copyright law, and there is patent law, and what's true for one is almost never true for the other. Copyright is automatic. Patents are applied for and cost money. Copyright lasts

Is that causation or just correlation? Isn't it likely to be at least partially genetic - if you have "fitter" genes you are going to be fitter both as a teenager and as an adult?

The usual advice is put your money in an index fund that tracks the stock market, not one with a fund manager who makes decisions. Vanguard are good because the Vanguard company itself is owned by the funds it manages (which are owned by th

This is a classic example of something that should be fixed point, not floating point. Just represent positions internally as an integer between 0 and some large maximum. You could use the number of screen pixels, or a larger value if you w

You should be able to stop at any time for any reason and not worry about the car behind crashing in to you. They should leave enough space. A rabbit is a very good reason. Maybe it's not a rabbit, maybe it's a rabbit-shaped rock

I found in a Tesla model 3 that I borrowed that even the maximum follow distance was closer that I would normally drive. It didn't feel dangerously close, just slightly uncomfortable - closer than I would have liked for a maximum.

I think that's a slightly different category, as those were personal records, not public. Much as I love the Internet Archive, I don't think I want e.g. my tax returns to be stored there, at least not for 100 years or something, l
