I have long ago lost my enthusiasm for this stuff, and now I just do it because I need a paycheck.
Frankly, at least in the context of US Copyright Law, we need to go back to Article I of the Constitution that defines copyright. The very first sentence is "To promote the useful arts and sciences..." If congress…
I've lost too many friends to mass-layoffs over the years. I just can't do that shit anymore.
Modern homes have much better insulation and energy efficiency (like LED bulbs), etc. But I think it's also true that a lot of builders can get away with cutting corners, and the materials that go into homebuilding are…
Pretty amazing to think that since this life evolved here, a lot of it thrives on methane. Therefore: I think there's a high likelihood of similar life on Titan. (which has a mostly-methane atmosphere)
yes. Dr. Gerard O'Neil figured this out in like 1978. Then, OPEC decided to demonstrate just how temporarily infeasible they could make it, by manipulating global oil prices (far from the first time).
CO2 plus H2O (water vapor is also a highly potent greenhouse gas).
We sold my daughter's condo 2 years ago, and we're still getting email solititations to buy it. Apparently there's a company sitting behind about a half-dozen shell companies, and they're trying to buy up enough units…
Here is exactly why: In America, this is basically the ONLY way "normal people" can make money (or at least used to be - those of us who didn't "get on the bus" in time have missed out). Unless you create valuable…
tell that to the bitcoin bros.
yeah - there's not going to be a shortage of aluminum any time soon.
So how about that pressure-treated lumber that they make the playground equipment with? Filled with Arsenic.
It's a warning to turbulent priests everywhere.
but mostly not so much if the person has an MBA. Sure, it's a gross generalization, but after 25+ years in this industry, I stand by this bigotry.
But if we can image it, then there IS an effect. The photons emitted by that galaxy effect us, here in ours because we can see them. It's the ones we can't see that are disconnected.
This is possibly true. I'm in my 50's now, and when I was in my 40's, my life-situation allowed me to pursue a lot more outside interests and hobbies. I had a lot of different outside activities, and would go out after…
You mean: Oracle™ Java®.
>the one the “caring progressives” keep voting for. And the alternative is what? Keep on hoping the oligarchs will share their wealth and it will "trickle down"?
My worst interview experience: Company had their own custom hackerrank test set up. Timed. It failed to execute on my laptop. (Maybe browser plugins? I tried a different browser; still no joy) - I tried a few things,…
I knew it! This Greek Bioweapon will continue to be used with impunity!
Only in Romanized Chinese; which is an English-approximate spelling of how it would be pronounced. (sort of). Spelling is different in Chinese, of course, which has fuck-all to do with the Greek letter, or how it would…
