I don't know, but I wonder if the "pad" were not itself lego of some sort, so "anywhere on the pad" is vastly constrained? Totally spitballing here.

From https://www.federalreserve.gov/publications/files/2024-suppl... : Suppose that you have an emergency expense that costs $400. Based on your current financial situation, how wo…

That is impossible to say in a general way but generally speaking: significantly less. On our PHEV minivan, the electric range is ~30mi, and costs ~$1.50 in electricity (12 kWh usa…

I agree with others that this is pretty personal to your own values. For me: it was definitely worth it, and if you buy a decent quality frame/desktop it'll be durable and a pretty…

I think you are perhaps reading too much into the phrasing. If they had said "... providing guidance on when individuals should be hospitalized...", I would not take that as assumi…

Willing to bet a subscription is a service/person pair, not a person. E.g., a person with iCloud and Apple TV+ is 2 subscriptions, and wouldn't be surprised if the Apple One (or wh…

I agree that seems expensive, but I wouldn't be totally shocked if a high-SEER, "name brand" unit with a pricey contractor could get that high. I had >100% cost variation for simil…

I can only speculate, but in my last replacement scenario, higher-SEER units (17+) had dramatically higher quotes, to the point where it was difficult to justify financially. On to…

Don't forget unleaded octane ratings!

Don't forget: * $10B+ wasted on completely failed SC nuclear plant, which basically led to its collapse and subsequent buyout by out-of-state (Dominion) utility https://apnews.com/…

FWIW I just realized that my AMS/SAIS references are US-specific, so substitute relevant accrediting bodies for Montessori/private schools... AMI is international, though. In the U…

I went to a private Montessori school grades 3K-5, and my children have been or are in Montessori school grades 3K-6. As you might have guessed, I am a fan. As most Montessori scho…

I doubt it, as the non-bolded portions were written in 2013, 4 years prior to the murder of Yingjing Zhang.

I have always appreciated https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~NatProg/papers/Ko2008JavaWhyline.pdf - an empirical analysis of debugging and a tool based on those findings, and an evaluation of…

I am really surprised no one has mentioned that a whole book devoted to this topic has existed for 15 years: https://www.amazon.com/Software-Estimation-Demystifying-Deve... It's by…

What, specifically, do you think is chartjunk? There are things that might be optional in some cases, but the article specifically names them as such and has a whole section on way…

A total eclipse is perfectly safe to view with the naked eye. You just have to be carful you don't start too early or end too late... Many references, but e.g., https://eclipse2017…

There is a much older, smaller - but public - study done by MSR a long while ago as well: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/what-ar...

Bad ones? I've definitely had furniture that looks beat up and/or doesn't work as well after 2 years of everyday use. It's usually the dirt cheap stuff, but not always.

I think it depends on the chair. I got a Raynor Ergohuman chair and I've really liked it. Not cheap, but a cheaper than HM or Steelcase and I've been very happy with it (it's mesh,…

Another upvote from me. Purchased November 2016 for my home office and it's held up very well. I've found the (memory) motor controller a little cheap (it'll just stop and/or switc…
