People forget your first point way too often. I’ve had to deal with air handlers that were retrofitted with a UV systems that I’m sure sounded like a marvelous idea to my institution; however none of the insulation or wiring was rated for U

I’ve changed out the super high intensity blue LEDs on my computers for amber 30 MCD ones. I don’t sleep in the room with them, but if I have someone crash on my couch they don’t have search lights blinking at them all night. They’re plenty

This thread made me think of Dr. Evil and his insistence on putting lasers on sharks. Some startups seem to think just throwing some more technology into an already refined process will somehow be “disruptive”. Solutions searching for probl

Arcologies always seemed like a neat idea to me, but I've never seen an in-depth look at their proposed infrastructure. What would power and communication distribution look like? HVAC? I assumed chill water with several distributed pla

There was a piece on PBS Newshour recently about older workers (largely skilled blue collar) staying on longer with verious incentive because employers couldn't find skilled replacements. What stuck me as ridiculous was some owner who

I don't think we'll see socket SP3 Epyc on mATX for a few reasons. The chip itself is huge and you'd have to throw away a lot of PCIe lanes and DIMM slots that couldn't fit on the motherboard. Supermicro's ATX board

I really don't understand this either. I feel like once upon a time email clients used to go so far as to show you the full header by default; but UI trends made it important to hide anything too technical from the end user. It seems l

Zach Galifianakis uses a fair amount of physical comedy. Some of the gags most likely to make me laugh in his show Baskets are physical, but it also has lots of situational humor and pathos. I think physical comedy used well can show what&#

Granted I don't know a ton about Zigbee other than it's the approved wireless standard for BACnet, but I'm glad to see comments like this. It's seemed silly to me that all of this home automation stuff gets marketed as n

In the past year or so I feel like I've had to resort to bangs like !g more and more. It's like Boolean searches don't work with DDG anymore. Quotation marks in particular seem meaningless to it.

As an aside, I recently learned that the N in NHL would have originally been Canada. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Hockey_League In retrospect it makes a lot of sense; but I guess in my subconsciously Americ

That's always super annoying. In my mother's old neighborhood there is a former train yard that was an empty field for decades. It was two or three blocks wide, about dozen blocks long, and split into thirds by a couple cross stre

I don't think the article is a critique of environmentalists so much as lazy pop science news that inacuratly simplfies and conflates issues. "Lungs of the Earth" stories distract from the very real problems with a inaccurate

I'm of the opinion America lost that conflict and it was so terrible because officials chose to be restrained in overt military action, out of fear of direct conflict with the Soviet Union, and at the same time unrestrained in covert a

That wouldn't explain the fancy parts of their diet though. Huge quantities of grain where passing through Portus. Why would they waste the good stuff on slaves? I do wonder if the cost of more exotic food in Portus would have been sig

I like this, but I visualized it differently. I assumed the tree style tab bar could be placed horizontally and each tab could be a drop down tree from there. I'm not sure if that would even be possible but I'd prefer that arrange

The technology is exactly the same. They just eliminated a standard connector from their design and now require you to supply your own DAC; either as a dongle or integrated into the headphones.

The local chapter of the ACLU is in an office building across the street from City Hall in New Orleans. I think it's fair to say nothing comperable is the case in any major Chinese city.

An anecdotal observation. In the majority black city where I live 50% of black men are unemployed but if you look at the numerous construction sites workers are largely Hispanic. I worked at a hotel for several years in the early 2000'
