The lead author is a dentist, using an uncommon (obsolete) technique, with the conclusion that there were funny-looking blobs whose identity is entirely unknown. Not medicine, definitely not technology. Just a bunch of ducking anti-vaxers.

A little bit click bait. It's not illegal because it's "too good". It's illegal because it's full of poison (mercury). And weirdly, I can't seem to find any actual laws naming them. There are laws about me

Or, you can be truly lazy. Just sign up for a free Wordpress or Blogger account (and there must be a bazillion others), accept the defaults, and start typing. The person even said that the hardest part is content, not writing. But how much

Their 'entry level' bike is over $800. Except for e-bikes, that's about 4x more than I've ever spent for a bike. Source: person who has biked to work for 20 years.

I got hired to be an expert witness to prove this very thing, with a twist: Person P wrote software A in language RS/S. Person P then wrote software B in language VB/B. The question was whether they had improperly used software A

Well that was a long and pointless article. It was long on general fear, and loved to make long ladies of donations that a rich family had made, but short on why any of us should care about the authors point of view

This is all true -- as a parent at a big high-tech company, we get excellent benefits for our kids. There's health insurance, dental insurance, paid parental leave for both parents, subsidized day care, and more.

The quote is from 2020 before the vaccine. The author says, "Approximately two hundred thousand Americans had already died from COVID. The last thing the public needed was an exaggeration of the future risks, implying to some that ten

Hint for people writing wills: when you give a certain percentage of your estate to a charity, they have a reason to engage deeply with the executor. It's actually kind of a pain; they can demand a detailed accounting for the sale of v

Loon. There's a bunch of stuff about how it's a geo magnetic anomaly (which is probably is), but with a high dash of woo-woo. The narrator is astounded that research from the 1960's is hard to find (the 'eye of the Sarah

The price for an IBM PC isn't correct (or at least, it doesn't match the infographic). The little picture shows a PC with two floppy disk drives and a monitor; the price quoted ($1565) was for the 16K model with no floppy disks an

Personally, I hate the Hole Hawg story. It reeks of pretentiousness and gatekeeping, and worse, the description of the Hole Hawg isn't even accurate. "A cube of metal"? That's not what a quick image search shows. "Y

From the article: "real examples and applications are messy, with ugly roots made of decimals or irrational numbers" Maybe we should move to an all-calculator future, and just do everything with decimal numbers. We should stop try

Terrible click-bait headline. The actual story has a lot of "mays" and "mights". As it pertains to tech: a person at the CDC would like more data in order to track how COVID is currently spreading so they can be more eff

Because the more mathematically rigorous and pure a description is, the more likely that your programmers won't carefully read the spec, or won't fully understand the exactly meaning of the UML arrows. It doesn't help that ev

You must use the pareto principle when you program, right? So if you get reports that your program is crashing, and 80% of the crash reports point to a specific module, that's the one you naturally fix first? Racism is like that. White

Quote from the story: "New York was not among the cities we compared". Also, it's a story from 1996, from the Cato institute, which means you already know that the article says that welfare is bad.
