Have you spoken to Michael about the coils on Black Knight? I took a pinball repair class from him once at the Crucible [it was awesome--highly recommended if it's ever offered again!] and he specifically covered how to juice up flipp

Commented; thanks for the pointer.

Why is this evidence of recursion rather that evidence of recognition of symmetry? The sequences they show are all simple symmetrical ones, e.g. {()}.

That's a bit of a stretch. The point of the ADA and similar laws is to improve access for people with disabilities. Does it increase costs? Yeah, it does. Are the costs "vast"? Generally not; it depends a lot on the situat

+1 this helps even if your angels are out of state. At least in Kansas, they can sell the tax credit to someone in-state for maybe 80% of its face value.

That's how and why I got down to 3 days a week. I went to 4 to get my next job, then down to 2 at my current job. If you can afford it and arrange it, it's fantastic.

"I'm Ph.D. in theoretical physics, but am a secret math nerd" Uh...you know that secret got out some time before your doctorate, right? =^>.

This. To space folks, that is plummeting. It's enough of a difference, and a surprise, to have a significant effect on business models.

Yup.

Dunno if that's true, but the terrible performance was because it was running off a single box under Orkut's desk. He threw together a prototype in asp.net and launched it, with zero preparation for scaling. It took quite a bit of

Nope, it requires root, as it should, really. Anything that can mess with networking at a low level needs root; there's no Android permission that I know of that lets you get down to iptables level.

Exactly. Tracking me, wasting my resources, etc.

Same with "run at startup" and some other important ones; there's no way to deny it once installed.

One of the permissions I'm really reluctant to grant is "run at startup". As far as I know, that's granted at install time, not prompted for, and there's no way to disallow it. Is there now going to be no way to k

I'm just so happy a journal actually published a negative result.

"Recently, places as diverse as Texas, California, Oklahoma/Iowa/Kansas/Nebraska (SPP), the UK, and Germany have rapidly decarbonized without nuclear." Uh...Germany's actually recarbonized by shutting down thei

I hadn't known about the sequel; thanks for mentioning it!

Multiple countries have tax incentives for carbon reductions already, such as the 45Q credit in the USA. Companies can outsource their reductions to CCS companies such as Heimdal. See e.g. https://www.cnet.com/news/go

OK, since some folks have commented on the candy thing: That was a one-time event, on the Muni, with both parents there, and with the giver asking our permission to give our son a sealed lollypop. I don't recommend kids take candy fro

"Would you send your 5 year old self down the streets of San Francisco or Seattle?" Yes. We live in San Francisco, and our kids went to a daycare in the Civic Center. We walked [with the kids] by many homeless people every weekda

There's the heat that comes out regardless, and the additional heat that comes out if you drill a bunch of boreholes down to let it out, accelerating the transfer. That being said, it doesn't look like we'll get to a signific

My guess was that when this happened to me, it meant that Google had figured out it was spam after the notification got through, likely due to people marking it as spam. So I got the notifications, but the files had gone away before I look

Ah, I wonder what happened to my old IFL boxers...I've still got dozens of different Google t-shirts and some Alphabet-related hoodies, baseball caps, fleece, a scarf, a raincoat, and snow hats. I think the beach towels, water bottles

Folks here are likely talking about employee stock options [NSOs and ISOs]. They've each got their pitfalls, but generally if you exercise them, you immediately owe tax [or AMT, depending--talk to an accountant first!] on the differen

For former colleagues I'm personally always willing to answer a reasonable number of questions for free. But after leaving one particularly-unpleasant situation, I did barter that I'd give a friend a brain dump if we could do it

I'm not the hiring manager for any of our open positions, so I can't make any promises. But we're a flexible place, so I wouldn't be surprised if some of the positions were part-time-friendly.

Oh, and outside of work I spend a lot of time co-parenting 2 kids, cooking (especially since covid), doing personal projects, practicing guitar, exercising, etc.
