Executives see a million trends come and go. Thay pay lip service so they don't sound outdated, but they have too many friends that drank the kool-aid and went down in flames on fads they came and went. And then just one more in the pi

Honestly, yes. Some brilliant people cleary have blind spots for certain basic web dev best practices.

A successful solution would have pissed a lot of people off. Every faction that had just one little enhancement, that could by itself probably have been okay, would have to have been told no. That's a hard thing to do. Sometimes you

I think there is nuance and some validity to all three of your examples examples. But I'll note only that the internet, a packet switched network, is fundamentally different than the telegraph network, which was circuit switched.

Excellent post and I learned a lot. One tiny quibble is that it is the left side pedal on a bicycle that is "reverse threaded". And as an exercise to the reader, if you think carefully through relative rotations of each pedal comp

I don't know this world. But could it be because the HDMI protocol doesn't require correcting all errors? And newer cables produced fewer corrupt packets which might have resulted in "sparkle"?

Could you have a couple friends help you set up some double blind comparisons? I'd be interested if learning the results.

Similar situation. After leaving teaching for development I spent the first two years in something like a state of grace. I loved teaching, but my gosh, the stress levels weren't even in the same universe.

I think you have a point. But in my experience with two polar opposite schools in Massachusetts, the ones that have a lot of "helicopter parents" don't have any issue with passing rates on the mandatory state tests. They&#x27

The scattering seems it should cancel out. As far as total energy reaching a point on earth (or the circular disk of a lens) just as much should get to you only due to scattering as failed to get to you due to scattering. I don't thi

I don't have much to add, but I believe the poster you are replying to said that 'High energy = shorter wavelength'. Equivalently, higher energy photons are higher frequency.

That's an interesting idea I hadn't ever thought of. But would such an endpoint return anything meaningful on a GET request? Would it return a list of all deleted records?

The availability of fantastic material like this will take the the rare lone geniuses of the world and multiply their results and possibly help them find like minded people to work with and learn from. But the vast majority of students stil

I absolutely sympathise and struggled with this myself to some extent. One thing that has worked for me is one-by-one adopting particular tactics that I see socially successful people using. And I mean I consciously note and incorporate t

Am I reading you correctly? You found a 2,900 sqft property in the bay area, 9 years ago, for 129k? Or is there a zero missing, and you meant to write 1.29M? Because if it was really 129k, that's a factor of ~20 times cheaper per squ

But can't you also just sell the 7 years worth of equity you've built up over the start of a 30 mortgage almost as well? I will concede that the downside risk is higher with the (initially) higher priced property.

When you say that coal consumption has already peaked in the USA, how do you know that? What is to say that next year we won't be using more coal per day than we are now?

I say companies should pay a painful fine for all data breaches no matter what. They'll have to buy insurance against it, and the insurers will eventually learn to price the risk properly. And it will also be in the insurers' inte

I don't know, so please correct me if I'm wrong. But isn't DNS record creation now handled automatically, and in the background, with the standard one-stop-shop site systems like Wix, Weebly, and SquareSpace? If so, and they

I agree. But as someone very interested in how physical things work, I can't help but think the video we were shown of the creation is not of the actual shredding device ultimately used in the painting. Blades like that don't bend

In the video it shows the setup with all of the blades in a line, pointing in the same direction. How would that produce the effect shown later of the painting being shredded into strips? Do we assume he twisted each blade 90 degrees before

I used to work in Boston Public Schools, so I have some context that may or may not address your point. One issue is that for the most part, Boston does not do "neighborhood schools" anymore. So a kid could easily have a 1.5 hour*

But nowadays, to stop quickly in an emergency, shouldn't you simply stomp as hard as you can on the brake while still remembering to stear? Or do you find that people don't even know that?

You have to make the people love you. Then they will follow your good advice joyfully. In fact they'll follow your bad advice just as much, so be careful you don't get promoted to VP.

I have a strong suspicion some of the newest crop of Netflix/Hulu/Amazon shows are already doing that to some degree.

I thought the same way until I worked with lots of types of people. The vast majority seem to much prefer BS, even blatant BS to honesty that is even the least bit blunt. I think part of it is that since everyone exaggerates, actual blunt
