Just to make this explicit: you're designing a second stage that will initially fly on some other company's first stage? Given the tight integration between stages on current launchers, does that tie you to a single launch provid

Any time you get enough deaf people in one place, who don't already have a signed language, they invent one. In times and places where signed languages have been suppressed, they've popped up all over the place at schools for the

If they stop paying you, do they just lose the reporting, or can they no longer grease things? If they can still grease, I'd think that'd be easier to swallow. They can always stop paying if they're not seeing ongoing value.

This is a huge loss. Whenever I get stuck on a WebGl or OpenGl problem, invariably I find an answer or some sample code that Gregg has written that helps me right through it. I also worked with him on a graphics team many years ago, and it

I don't use Google voice, and it's only ever been this phone. It started right after an OS upgrade last year, so it seemed much more likely to be OnePlus than TMobile.

I'm about to replace my OnePlus 5T. Last year it started garbling the incoming audio from outgoing phone calls, about 50% of the time. This week it garbled an incoming phone call, so I really can't put off upgrading any longer.

I wonder how many site swaps make interesting braids. You have some discretion in where the plaits go [inside vs. outside throws, crossing vs. non-crossing simultaneous throws if unspecified], which would help.

Well, it was by some book in 1400AD [according to https://www.haggardhawks.com/post/neverthriving ], but I've been juggling for 30+ years, including at festivals throughout the US and Europe, and never heard the wo

This. When I was using OpenSCAD about 10 years ago, I immediately found it very intuitive and easy to use for simple things. But for anything complex, I ran into this sort of thing constantly. At the time the documentation of the language

I'll never try the product for that reason. They spammed me at work, then on LinkedIn, then cold-called my cellphone [which I really hate to be called on by anyone I don't know]. I demanded to be taken off their contact list, an

A landing page that's completely blank if cookies are blocked by default isn't the greatest sell, especially for a dev tool. Cool idea, though, once I could see it.

Am I reading this right, that even if it's an employer-provided plan, you can't do paycheck withholding? That seems like a big speed-bump. I have a DAF myself, and really love the way it separates the tax event [donating apprecia

Are you looking for technical how-it-works stuff, or more political/environmental things, including safety and waste disposal? For the latter, I liked "Power To Save The World" by Gwyneth Cravens. For the former, I've

Lots of great suggestions here! I'll add "If On A Winter's Night A Traveler" by Italo Calvino. It's the only book I've ever read in the second person, an amazing and successful experiment in form. I've nev

It's point-to-point. Unless someone is tapping your phone line, or you dial the wrong number, where's the insecurity? Contrast that with email, which goes through any number of emails, sits in queues, gets backed up, etc. Of cour

While the adulteration problems appear to be real, this reporter goes out of their way to exaggerate the problem. They diss Whole Foods honey for not being raw, when it's...not labeled as raw. Whole Foods certainly does sell some hon

The long half-life [actually the mixture of lengths of half-lives] is really the problem. You've got stuff that's super-hot [fast decay] and so very dangerous mixed with much slower-decaying [so not as dangerous] stuff that nee

The projects that worked best for me at 60% were those that involved lots of independent work. I'd find something big that the team needed doing, that was important but not urgent--the kind of stuff that always gets put off until too

For my first part-time job, I'd been there long enough to have a solid reputation; I also had a fairly-new boss during what had been a super-productive time for me, so he'd really only seen great work from me. I'm sure he wa

Yup. Did it. I'm so fortunate to have been able to afford it, and it's been awesome. When my first child was born, I dropped down to 3 days a week, at 60% pay/vesting/etc., but full medical (Google was awesome about it

Man, this gave me flashbacks to trying to put 3.5-4GB of RAM into motherboards in 2003. After a bunch of iterations of telling the motherboard manufacturers what we wanted, and having them hack the BIOS to work for exactly one DIMM confi
