Does that mean anything though? I don't keep much in my checking account either since there's no interest.

Culturally the Japanese are more respectful. When one wears a mask, one is trying to be respectful to others. That would never fly here in the USA where people care more about their personal freedoms. Americans don't like to be told

what about the P100 filter cartridges used on half/full face respirators? Those have a plastic skeleton with a rubber gasket.

I think my P100 filters might survive an autoclave. They are the pink disc kind from 3M. Pressure cooking only goes up to 121C @ 15psi, so it isn't as hot as it may seem.

is it possible to reuse a mask if you put the mask through an autoclave?

I'm sure death among heroin addicts is common. It's only a matter of time they'll come in contact with a fentanyl laced dose.

Supposedly a single human produce around 300g of carbon per day in the form of carbon dioxide. A tree's dry weight is about 50% carbon, but when the tree is alive, it's probably still 80% water. So I'm approximately guessin

I know people like to imagine of all the orwellian possibilities, but it could have some useful medical cases too. It would be great to put some kind of camera in my grandparent's home to automatically monitor their health. My grandf

It's expensive right now because demand is low. When everyone is buying solar, I'm sure the price will drop even further. This could still happen in parallel with any other clean energy investments as well. There aren't tha

If a plane crashes, the survival rate is pretty low. Most likely everyone on the plane is dead. People get into car accidents often enough to feel that crashing one's car rarely leads to death. Walter probably felt safe enough to us

Their 1Password X is excellent. I've been using it on a chromebook for a few months now. Chromebook does run linux, so it should work for you too. I think it's basically the ideal place for 1Password to be running. It's ha

The article is old. Square is up 27.5% from it's IPO.

Well, there are more details to the story that the author omitted. Here's a few from a comment on the article: The article appears to somehow have missed some key pieces of information. I leave it to you to decide whether Mr Klug and

The finance report wouldn't show individual transactions. So if you used the credit card to buy yourself $50 worth of groceries, it's likely to fly under the radar. Hacker Dojo does have the general breakdown of their finances p

Anyone who is aware of the mythical man month should know that throwing more people on a project does not magically speed things up. Tesla probably has a core team that can execute faster if they had less people on the project. The other

if you're on a mac, you can add the cert to your keychain and then all your dev sites that operate over *.dev will be fine.

People already eat bugs in other countries where bugs are hardly disgusting compared to their usual food. Convincing Americans to eat bug food might be harder, but Americans only make up of 5% of the earth's population. I've con

You can divorce yourself from your belongings because it's easy for you to find work and quickly replace your belongings. If you know you'll have to sleep on concrete for the next 5 months because you won't be able to find w

The rocket's payload may also be considered property. Lots of expensive equipment inside.

There are lots of good CNCs on amazon for $800 that don't require assembly at all. If you need to cut into steel, the ones on amazon will be much better than the shapeoko.

Can one even buy a consumer SLS printer? I was under the impression that the cheapest SLS printer is still around 50k.

I think anyone could answer this question -- fundraising is extremely time consuming, which means less time for actual product development. YC is the fundraising strategy since the demo day blasts lots of investors with the same chunk of i

I don't really agree here. A bank is safe because your money is FDIC backed even if a robber raided their coffers, BTC doesn't have that level of security yet and given the number of thefts in the last few years, I think security

Hah, I wish that were true. Supermarkets exist to make money, so they can't stock items that have low demand. If you cook ethnic foods, you'll typically need to visit several stores to buy all the ingredients for your meal.

I don't agree with that sentiment. I think your pattern detector is only taking in account on how grocery shopping is currently done. When you introduce something new into the system, it may not adhere to the same rules. There are m

Not everyone is driven by price. Sometimes convenience trumps price. I use the delivery services so I don't have to waste an hour at Staples to buy one item.

They do, but their interface really blows and the scheduling system can be troublesome because they have a limited number of drivers and sometimes you'd have to schedule delivery during a bad time. I've only used instacart a few
