What do you think about USB-C and Thunderbolt 3? In a dream world they'd make all iOS devices USB-C, release new Mac Pros, all types of laptops, and all of them able to use the same Thunderbolt 3 eGPUs, RAIDs, etc, albeit at different

Those interesting issues could be their own post. For this one I think that interesting tangents would be a discussion about the magnitude of the lethal chemical weapons industries, and the possibility of large dumping operations allowing p

Am I misunderstanding that this would be useful for parallel construction, but that the public failure actually subverts the usefulness of Cloudflare as a MTIM partnering with someone?

It makes sense that they treat Tor like a probable adversary, but the cost analysis seems really flawed. Sure, the proportion of requests passing through Tor are more likely to be malicious, but given the bandwidth constraints the adversary

Presumably the same mechanism which makes the immune response more effective against cancers makes autoimmune diseases more common. Similarly, some influenza strains are particularly deadly to healthy people, though they are killed by their

Interestingly, there's a paper "Lockhart's Lament"[1], on math education written about 15 years ago that proposes an absurd world from a musician's nightmare where formalized music education is mandatory but playing

They're charging consumers as much as they can. There was a backlash when they tried to raise rates. They ended up without enough revenue to get the same catalog from content owners that were increasingly wary. I'd pay a few dolla

Do you know if it will slow charge from a low power usb power source? If I plug mine into a 2 amp usb A charger it says that it is not charging, but does that mean it is drawing zero watts, or only that it is only drawing 10 watts? It wou

Thinner implies a better ratio of surface area to volume for dissipating heat. Though, I suppose a laptop could be thicker by including empty space with fans and airflow to exhaust the heat out the sides rather than conducting it through th

Did you ever find out? My guess is that while it looks like there is a fixed axis with variable extension, the axis of rotation itself is also moving from side to side.

I understood the question as, what makes you think: the current system could be streamlined so easily that I can hardly believe someone hasn't already disrupted the complacent firms extracting rent. Such a question usually gets answers

I think it is a difficult question to answer if the difference between Obama and Trump seems about as arbitrary as choosing a sports team because it's based in your hometown. Even though it is relatively new, I think moral foundations

Maybe a little glib, but this came up on Reddit from Twitter: > The left protest about Trump, but they're strangely silent about King Raedwald's invasion of Northumbria in AD 616[1] It's a bizarre way to argue in favor of

I've heard the same for wolves and lions in nature shows. I think it has to do with members within a developed social structure killing eachother.

The argument would be that the union's negotiations established a wage floor, and uber drivers get a freerider benefit. If uber's funding dried up, and they only paid drivers from what paasengers pay, they would have a lot more pr

I see that active adapters that support HDMI 2.0 are about $25 now. Apple's $50 multiport adapter is only HDMI 1.4b, I suppose because it only handles the built in USB-C alternate mode.

The answer people seek when calling their representatives about schools is to decrease funding and further restrict teacher autonomy.

Differences in hardware matter in subtle ways too with new versions of MacOS. For example, AirDrop or Handoff work seamlessly on the latest hardware, but frustratingly work one day then not the next at random on older hardware. The differen

It's just a different half of the photons, and the photons available to each of your light collectors are separate streams anyway. Each of your eyes gets a half of the light available to them both before and after.

Generally speaking, liquidity is valuable, and risk is a problem. The volatility might be an indicator of liquidity, or at least attempts to reduce volatility may correspond with reduced liquidity, such as putting your money in a hedge fund

I think this a great idea. I looked up things like Tor Browser, Tails, and a few Linux distributions and popular open source projects. I found all of them far more quickly than I could have by going to their respective sites. Then I though

I can see the limitations in equating stock price directly with GM retooling a factory for a new model year, but it is a far more accurate depiction of what is going on, even if a little abstract, than to say that they have nothing to do wi

That sounds like an exaggeration in order to make an unrelated point. Why would people sell equity in their company except for cash, and why would you pay cash for ownership in a company except for the stream of income it represents and t

I agree that regulation is an important part of controlling information asymmetries, obfuscation of risks etc, and that regulation can mean better signals and be more efficient than only relying on the reputation of institutions. What I was

A more efficient engine might be as good a metaphor as many others. Five percent, equivalent to about a quarter percent faster growth over 20 years isn't a bad starting point either, depending on just how constrained the simplified cap
