I remember the arms race between these kind of framing sites (often increasingly scammy) and sites that did not want to be framed and had various anti-framing scripts.

The eviction moratorium is still active in SF, Oakland and Berkeley.

It’s so the sun and the earth will always be in the same direction and both can be hidden behind the sun shield.

Ingenuity had a Snapdragon, but there was also a redundant pair of arm r5f microcontrollers (which are also lockstepped dual-core processors, so quadruple redundancy) where the flight controllers were, and a rad-tolerant FPGA (proasic) that

If there is a run, it's a question of whether they have enough liquid cash. If they run out they have to start selling things unless they can somehow get some other kind of cash injection.

The piece I would be worried about is getting hired and either losing the offer or getting laid off after a few weeks/months when the next round of layoffs comes down. If you are currently unemployed, maybe there's not much opport

I treat Slack DMs like email and respond when I have time dedicated to it. Very rarely found a situation where that was not acceptable. Adding do-not-disturb times and calendar integration helps a lot too--people can tell when you are not w

No, don’t “take it with a grain of salt”. Ignore it completely and don’t repeat it. It is complete and utter crap.

That was almost a bragging point for quite a while. It was definitely not hip to work on ads or even search.

The particular measurements of the elements are not interesting, but the transistor densities are meaningful. I would expect a 1nm chip to achieve densities 100x a 10nm chip. That seems unlikely.

You have to force push, but you have to do that when pushing a rebased branch as well. In either case it’s a history rewrite. It’s not a big deal unless other people have pulled that branch—if they have they will need to reconcile things on

The US has had (for several decades) guided artillery shells, both optical and inertially guided. These get launched from battleship cannons and deploy fins to guide them to the target. The inertial guidance is almost more surprising, it me

The frustrating thing is that the skepticism always centers on basic physics/engineering problems that clearly have been solved before such a design would break ground. Nobody builds a giant centrifuge and says "Oh I didn't e

That happened something like 100 years ago.

Seems like less of a problem for smart thermostats (which will likely adjust to an odd-number start time based on your actual patterns and the heating speed of your house) versus the clock-based thermostats where everyone just had set it to

Tech recruiters seem to have some kind of god-awful candidate management software that sends follow ups automatically now. It's always the worst recruiters.

Wait, San Francisco has combined sewers, but they treat the combined sewage before it goes into the bay. Does London not treat their sewage? The big problem in San Francisco is that during severe rainstorms the flow rate overwhelms the trea

What if they are two? Or 100? With different experiences post replication?

I love this problem because it is so simple, and the false line of reasoning is so compelling that it would hardly raise an eyebrow if you saw it in an academic paper and yet the conclusion is so obviously wrong. Decision problems are trick

I think a better comparison is what similar apps would sell for. 2-4x annual revenue seems to be common. So $12-$24k which is not bad!

The problem set for the stanford linear dynamic systems that he taught is also fantastic. The level of difficulty and the breadth of applications leaves you with so many tools.

The borders are based on census tracts with low average income. The complete list of zones is here: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-18-48.pdf I'm not sure who draws census tract lines.

Typically you get a small amount, somewhere in the order of $500 per term, refunded directly to you for personal expenses, textbooks, etc. I think certain students may qualify for more.

You can drag or modify the items in the diagram and it changes the UML, that's actually pretty neat. PlantUML normally only goes code to diagram.

One of the things I miss about phabricator was how much you could do via the CLI (clunky and weird as it was), nice to see something similar in Gitlab but I wish it wasn't so obscure.

I feel like if there's good documentation, you don't need me. Similarly, the best leverage I can have is improving documentation or making documentation unnecessary through better interfaces.

Agreed that they are not a pharmaceutical company, but the Phase 3 trial is being sponsored by MAPS PBC which is the for-profit subsidiary and I assume has some sort of revenue motive.
