You should consider a dust mite vacuum with UV. I bought one on Amazon (this one but you can check YouTube reviews for others). https://www.amazon.com/JIGOO-Vacuum-Cleaner-Dust-Sensor/dp/B... I was surprised how m

Lol. I don't think the people that buy/sell NVDA even know what this is about. This is a highly specialized linear algebra library to do general matrix-matrix multiplications for low-precision floats (FP8, vs FP32 (float), FP64 (d

I know you probably don't have the option since it's part of the publishing contract, but if you could, would you opt out of being listed on Amazon and just sell direct from the publisher's site?

Trick: there is almost always a garbage can next to a vending machine, and there are many vending machines in Japan. Caveat: some of those garbage cans are for can recycling only. But there is often another one for garbage like food wrapper

National Car is the best in my experience.

by wenc 2y ago
National is excellent but you pay a premium. They focus on airports and business travelers, which means their fleet is newer and less beat up (also tend to be driven by individuals rather than families). If you sign up for free Emerald prog

Purely CLI tools are harder to monetize. But I’ve seen REPL instances (which are command line in a way but interactive) monetized. The AMPL optimization language is monetized. The very expensive KDb+ language and database is monetized. Back

I don’t think I would make that leap about falling short of Western safety standards. All electrical products sold in the US are legally required to be NRTL certified (according to US standards). Levoit is ETL certified. Non certified produ

It’s very unlikely and I agree, not acceptable, but any household appliance with a heating element has a nonzero fire risk. I read that for UL certified humidifiers the incidence rate is 1 in 100k, similar to fans. The seems worryingly high

No. Some people are sensitive to it yes. But it is not unsafe. There are no proven long term effects and no treatment is needed. (Some people are also sensitive to sugar like me — due to gout — but sugar is not unsafe) Please read the resea

Yes. People associate Chinese manufacturing with low quality products, but I feel those people misunderstand systems. It's not Chinese manufacturing that is low quality. It's really the sites like Temu and Shein that create low qu

Problem with Discord is you have to enforce real names otherwise you have to limit it to people you know. Young people I know (except for gamers) find Discord a bit sus because you don’t have any baseline with regard to name or profile pic.

There’s no right or wrong answer but as someone who used to work in publishing, the typeface seems contrived to be amateurish. I wonder if it’s supposed to evoke a more “authentic” unpolished feel? (YouTubers actually find too much polish r

Not salt, but Mrs Dash has potassium and can be used as part of the DASH diet. It tastes pretty good but it does have herbs and spices so it’s not versatile like salt. You can’t add Mrs Dash to everything

I switched to MSG and have definitely found it less salty and more delicious. The sodium level is definitely lower. My blood pressure is still well regulated. I’ve eaten MSG my entire life with no ill effects. MSG got a bad rap but it’s rea

Platform fragmentation is a generational thing. I thought email was a common denominator but I learned most people don’t check email or check it rarely. So different from the days when everyone had email. I still use FB and so do many of my

ASML seems to strike deep at personal identities: it's the only European player in space dominated by American and Asian companies. Every time anyone mentions ASML, I see comments of adulation. It's a very human tendency to hero-w

I have to correct myself slightly -- the Brit engineers I do meet in the US often come here on an L1A/L1B intra-company transfer from a British subsidiary. So that's one path. But yes, the visa path for UK citizen to accept a dire

You're not wrong, but immigrants from other places are willing to take that risk with their families. This insecurity, for better or for worse, selects for a type of hungry immigrant who are also risk-takers, for whom the push of thei

Ironically, other countries (former British colonies) have more access to US "specialty occupation" working visas than the UK does -- none of these are H1-B. Canadians and Mexicans have TN, Australians have E3, Singapore and Chile
