Yeah but do YOU think you'd be work $360K or would your expectations for what you'd be obligated to scare you from even applying? If you see range that's in a normal range, you'll apply. Also for higher end salaries, the

OK. It's obvious but maybe only in hindsight... I started programming computers when I was 10-11 yo. And that was with punch cards on a mainframe. How did I get access to that? Interest, good parents and luck. Bill Gates was a lot

The culture of Taiwan is heavily influenced by Japan as it was a colony of Japan for 50 years. Most of the major infrastructure originated during the Japanese colonial period. So Japanese culture is fairly well adopted. It's EVA tha

176 layers is impressive. Especially since that's defined by anisotropic etching limits.

Ask a Covidian... You are 100% correct of course, and pretty much EVERYONE from the US government to MSM to Covidian fanatics were wrong because they were stupid or liars or power hungry or all three.

No it's not. Heroin has only modest blood-brain penetration. Fentanyl has nearly 100% penetration. This difference is what makes fentanyl so much stronger than heroin and so much more dangerous. Biochemically it's a different

All the equations used to calculate blast, radiation and heat are public domain and can be found in the AEC/DOE publication "Effects of Nuclear Weapons". The effects, thanks to the glory of physics, are mostly simple polynom

No comments. Maybe because this PROVES that Bitcoin is not a safe, distributed currency system if this is possible. At any point any government can deny you access to your Bitcoin or any other block chain "wealth". The problem is

Ambiguous compensation allows more room for negotiation - that's why. One job I had had no defined plan for compensation so I asked for a number and they gave it because they had no idea anyway. I also pushed other benefits and got th

Of course it wasn't/isn't. Biden needs a distraction from his horrible poll numbers or he won't complete his first term. Even nuclear war is deemed "acceptable losses" to fix that!

Nice BUT. The actual frequency/clock rate of a system is NOT defined by the transistor Ft value - it defined by the parasitics of the circuit it's placed into. If you build an IC with something like this, the claimed Ft does NOT

You are presuming conservatives think like progressives - where ideology is paramount - it's NOT and they DON'T. Read Jonathan Haidt's book about this.

I guess things are different since the 1980s when writing C code to implement "listening" on a port using the listen() call made this obvious.

This probably exists somewhere but not in my circles and strictly it's ALWAYS EXISTED. The Cold War led to plenty of people throwing their hands up and "quitting life/ambition". The other part of the "Great Resigna

I started starting companies as a result of Silicon Valley age discrimination experiences around when I was 40. It was clearly a situation that could not be effectively overcome or negotiated with. So the obvious answer: "If I'm

Well yes. Because more energy is consumed (EROEI) with corn - all the diesel, pesticides, fertilizer, etc. inputs - than with simply using the gasoline/petroleum. The exact same analysis is true for electricity generated from a nat ga

A major limitation of "prisoner's dilemma" is that it's a single-play game. Most real world games are iterated with information passing cycle to cycle which radically changes the optimal strategy.

This really depends on the type of programmer. A major cut is "packer" vs. "mapper". Often packers need more micromanagement and linear details of the plan; they can't "see the map" and run with that lik

Yes. That's how it works. 99% of all inventions are "obvious" once you understand how they work - but before that no one can imagine it. If "buy" buttons can be patented, pretty much anything can be.

You can say the same thing about all economics after the 1600s - wood, coal, whale oil, petroleum. There is a direct causal relationship between energy consumption and economic growth. End the former and you end the latter. And you also k
