This just reminded me of Emacs. There's not a whole lot of menus. All the available commands (also variables and values) can be searched and autocompleted. The initial hump is hard to get over, but after that things are so discoverable

I can't imagine the simulation is simple enough to do in Excel. The R0 is good measure in the beginning when almost no one is infected, and there are no quarantines. Quarantines are happening and once a cluster is infected and can be i

Vodafone may not survive the back taxes [1], and Airtel is struggling with those as well. Somehow Jio didn't have to pay any. https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/explained-what-i...

Exactly, the last two year survival of control group may be artificially enhanced because the ones that were going to die were already dead in the first three.

That's still better than the SSA. Every employer must use SSA to submit W-3 to report employee wages. They only accept case-insensitive passwords up to 8 alpha-numeric characters.

That's also being shutdown according to Indian media. Railtel is going to take over the WiFi in India.

One of those browsers tracks everything you do if you sign-in, the other does it only to increase retention, not to track your activities. Guess which is which?

Finance 101: debt is cheaper than equity. Arguably in today's model it's actually less risky than equity for the founders.

Social connections are the biggest anti-dote to depression and suicide. I suspect Blacks, Asians, and Hispanics have stronger social bonds.

The best-practice seems to indicate assigning people randomly to groups so they can examine their own biases. This instance at Google was to assign people to their own stereotypes so they can wallow in it? Not the same thing, is it?

Backside processing is standard in the CMOS image sensor industry. Turns out all the metal on the front-side makes it very difficult to get light down to the silicon where the actual photon-electron transduction takes place. Backside imagin
