As the GP said, what's cool about this is how simple the code is. You might be able to achieve 5M connections in Java using an event loop based solution (eg Netty), but if the connection handlers need to do any async work, then they al

I feel like this was too much a diatribe on why supersymmetry is not a good solution and didn't spend enough time on evaluating what the actual implications are of this result holding.

In Canada, it's expressly legal to travel and work remotely (depending on the work). You can read the Canadian government's definition of work (in the context of requiring a work permit) here: https://www.canada.ca/

Advice can be useful if you try to make it so. Number three on the list is "Dont ever work for someone you dont want to become." I was given this same advice as I was starting out my career. It made me reevaluate my approach to wo

I see a listing here for a 50% ownership stake in a 2005 Cessna 182T Skylane for $180k. Financing is available for 20% down. With financing, the listed monthly price is < $2k. That seems somewhat reasonable to me. https://www.

I just looked this up and you're right. If you're subject to the expatriate tax then you're automatically disqualified from the exemption. From my reading, it seems like there is a small loophole. You can sell a foreign prope

The IRS does not consider a refinance (even a cash-out refinance) to be a capital gain. The IRS also allows for 250K (500K if married) of tax-free capital gains on the sale of a primary residence. Maybe you misunderstood your friends’ situa

The error in your line of thinking is that you assume humans are better interpreting statistical evidence than they are broad logical arguments. I don't see any evidence of that.

How is "there's no downtime in cooking" better than "Cooking onions is not downtime?" Both are assertions without backing evidence. For instance, it's possible for "Cooking onions is not downtime?" to

“Cooking onions is not down time” directly follows from “there’s no downtime in cooking.” If there is no downtime in cooking is true, then *cooking* onions cannot be downtime.
