My understanding is they weren't actually destroyed, the order was given but not obeyed. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/saved-avro-arrow-bl...

I agree, the title seems very clickbaity. The "Snark" had essentially the same capabilities at the start of the cold war. It was "pilotless bomber" that promised to be cheaper than bomber crews. Basically, it was a giant

Coffee Lake and newer has mitigations for that apparently. https://www.anandtech.com/show/13450/intels-new-core-and-xeo... I'm unsure if a "fix" is actually possible with a pure hardware solution.

I wrote about this years ago on the topic of Golang specifically: http://www.hydrogen18.com/blog/golang-orms-and-why-im-still-... The phrase "object-relational impedance mismatch" resonates pretty strongly wi

It's also hilarious when you think about it. For almost all startup employees, a long enough time scale reveals that the real value of those stock options is exactly zero dollars. This would have people paying taxes on fictional or pur

So the author tried to encrypt the null byte, repeated thousands of times? That seems like the most pointless test I could dream up for any processing algorithm. Computes all the primes less than 0? Already. Achieve compression approaching

Looks like IKEA doesn't use brominated flame retardants. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/files/pdf/5c/df/5cdf003d/ikea_faq... The underlying problem here is that furniture doesn't nee

At least in the US I think you'd have to make it yourself. I believe that mattresses are somehow exempt in the US? So the futon becomes a weird gray area. You can buy one with the express intent of using it only as a couch, but you put

The thing about toxins in treated lumber, it isn't a bug in the product. It is actually the feature. Treated lumber is just as porous and traps water like any other lumber. It has so much copper compounds trapped in it that almost noth

Recently had an MRI as well. I was given an iPad with lots of documents to sign. Most of it was what you'd expect. Just poorly scrawl your name & initials where indicated. The one that really jumped out to me was the Power of Attor

Getting from Geostationary orbit to re-entry is not easy. It isn't like the ISS where essentially if you blink, the thing burns up in the atmosphere. You need a huge amount of delta-v. My guess is the satellite is in poor enough condit

If you watch the show "Altered Carbon", I kind of felt like there was an unspoken idea that all of the characters are in fact deceased many times over. The capability of replicating the exact consciousness of any of them exists of
