The issue is not if the fund is needed or not, it is that congress never specified how much the Universal Service Fund tax would be. The FCC keeps raising the tax rate. 10% of your mobile phone bill now goes to this…
Maybe in the US, but Britpop reached it's peak in the 90s. Oasis, Stone Roses, Blur, Happy Mondays and many others
The COP for a heat pump drops as the temperature decreases. The climate should have a large impact on the choice of technology. Here in Florida it is a no brainer, everyone has a heat pump for the cool winter days. In…
We have no meetings at all, other than one weekly a 30-minute standing meeting. Email or slack and no expectation on response time. Been doing that for 5 years with no problems.
I don't think it was virtual. Looked like a real keyboard on the table
The running time of the CD-ROM was designed to play Beethoven's 9th symphony in its entirety. You would have thought Apple would plan the battery life to allow you to watch all of Avengers: Endgame, or maybe…
I have to wonder about a device that won't allow you to watch a 2-hour movie without running out of battery and having to plug it in. I guess Oppenheimer is a no-go.
OMG, those barstools with the flat bottoms. Painful after 10 minutes. Who does this? I see this in co-working spaces all the time. Whoever designed them does not actually do any deep work. I just want a great chair and…
The lawyer should lose his license. Imagine they had turned in this brief and follow up and ChatGPT had not been involved. Instant disbarment. ChatGPT is not an excuse for a professional to produce nonsense in front of…
Good idea, but mortgages are bundled together. You cannot split one off.
The Fairchild Clipper, released in 1986, was also a 3-chip solution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipper_architecture
AI-generated content can still be traced back to its source. Even though the content may be original, AI-generated works can be identified by their algorithmic patterns, which can be used to determine the source of the…
Turning it off and then back on again seems to solve so many problems.
The story might not be a accurate, but the concept is certainly valid. I see this sort of thing all the time. This terrific story helps people to understand the core point, that busy does not equal productive.
I got: Free Range Salt :-)
This is nonsense. Omicron is quite mild compared to the original strain. Death rates from COVID in western countries is now minimal. Time to move on
Seems the only way to prove the test itself reduces deaths is to force unhealthy/irrresponsible people to get colonoscopies. Is there another approach?
Run a real card for a real amount and write a check to the person whose card you used. Do this multiple times with different types of cards.
I think this greatly helps Royal Caribbean with younger customers who simply cannot be 100% disconnected. I have customers I need to be available for if something goes wrong. I won't even consider a 7-day cruise. But…
Seveneves did not have a third part. I have no idea what you are referring to :-)
In my opinion, much of the farming in Southern California needs to end. Or at least we should revisit the now 100-year-old agreement on how the Colorado River water is used.…
As an example of this, most trash on the side of roads comes from stuff falling off commercial trucks, sanitation trucks, work trucks. Not from people chunking junk out the window of their car. Yet all the guilt is…
You are perpetuating a myth. Malcom Gladwell researched and presented this in his Podcast episode - The Foot Soldier of Birmingham. https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/revisionist-history/the-foot...
I think the better question becomes, will cities remain as attractive, without the daily worker demand creating more shops/restaurants/entertainment? If just the locals, will those places continue to exist and thrive as…
Great article on the problems of office to residential conversions. Essentially, good office buildings make bad residential, and vice-versa. https://www.nbcnews.com/business/real-estate/why-empty-offic...
