As I understand it, the "solder smoke" produced during hand-soldering does not actually contain metallic solder itself, except maybe in trace amounts. It primarily consists of vaporized organic compounds from the rosin flux core o

Please read the Matt Levine article that was linked a couple of comments upthread. You (and many other commenters) seem to be under the impression that the bankruptcy procedure was done for the purpose of "avoiding paying out the total

As the Levine article explained, and as has been reiterated several times in this comment thread: J&J is not "freed from the shackles of any liability", because it is still liable to its own subsidiary for the talc lawsuit c

No, because as Levine said, and as the previous commenter quoted: > the entire value of J&J’s consumer business was still on the line for those claims.

It's not really a stupid question. In theory, you could do that, but it's not that easy in practice. First of all, the attitude indicator alone is not sufficient -- you need to pay attention to the entire instrument panel, includi

The only way I can understand your confusion is if you stopped reading at that point, and completely missed the sentence immediately following the one you just quoted: > I omitted "would" from my previous comment, but I think i

Not at all. This solves a somewhat different problem: determining your position relative to a number of nearby reference stations (on the order of tens of meters away). The limiting factor is that you have to wait for enough muons to pass

Maybe this is a radical position, but if users have given you data based on the agreement that you'll follow a particular privacy policy, then material changes to that policy should require the user's consent. If a user doesn&#x

This is different from subcontracting, though, because Google Domains is being sold in its entirety and will no longer be owned or controlled by Google. Once the data is in Squarespace's hands, what's stopping them from using it f

Sorry if I wasn't sufficiently clear. The principle I was talking about was this one, from Sundar Pichai, referenced in the tweet thread: > To make privacy real, we give you clear, meaningful choices around your data. All while stay

It is exactly what's happening. Google is handing over the personal information of its subscribers, and the responsibility for their accounts, to Squarespace. In return, Squarespace is giving Google a bunch of money (revenue).

I think your assumptions are unrealistic. A fiber optic cable weighing 4kg per km with no other reinforcement or protection would be extremely fragile. According to my back-of-the-envelope math, using the density and tensile strength of typ

I think this might just be an unfortunate abuse of terminology. I've seen plenty of people similarly refer to the Raspberry Pi as having a "40-pin GPIO header", even though only a subset of those 40 pins actually have GPIO fu
