More attention (cumulatively) than the Troll?

Not too far south of SF in Mountain View, "Mountain View Ave" runs adjacent to "Miramonte Ave" - and "Miramonte" can reasonably be translated from Spanish as "Mountain View".

> FFS WTF is a stone! It's actually a pretty good weight for measuring humans (14lb). Your weight in pounds varies from day to day but your weight in (half-)stones is much more sta…

Biologists actually say the opposite of that! https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/cats-are-perfect-...

This video linked in the article ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XBzV0bDZdQ ) makes me want to donate to Institute for Justice to maybe help stop this practice. But a bit of Goo…

At Google almost 20 years ago, a bunch of our machines (possibly with slightly bespoke CPUs?) were behaving oddly. These machines were mostly in use for serving Google's web index,…

Reddit could offer a premium membership that allows add-free and API access, and require the third-party apps to log in on behalf of the user. The fee might still turn a lot of peo…

Almost! :-) I coined the term "Xenoserver" back in 1999, for a paper in IEEE HotOS proposing an architecture for allowing systems in core networks to safely accept and execute code…

Celiac disease and Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity are very different beasts in terms of their effects. The latter is more likely to triggered in the presence of (as you say) non-tri…

But cross-contamination in a shared production facility can happen fairly easily (and is important for folks who are sensitive to a few parts-per-million of gluten), hence why lots…

You should watch https://www.amazon.com/King-Charles-III-Rupert-Goold/dp/B071... , which examines this very premise. Surprisingly prophetic for a play originally first performed in…

Not a question of price, so much as any plan with access to particular doctors/hospitals.

In terms of general benefits, maybe. In terms of provider coverage - I couldn't find an individual plan at coveredca.com that was accepted by doctors at Stanford Hospital.

That's not true. As I discovered when my COBRA ran out recently, finding individual plans that match the coverage of employer plans is very hard or impossible, regardless of how mu…

Presumably open and closed hours for the stock exchange on which that stock trades.

There's no sharp/flat note between B and C - "B sharp" would be C.

This association with the French word that happens to be my surname is something that I've encountered more since moving from the UK to the US. Possibly due to the proximity to Fra…

Speaking personally, I prefer being the solution rather than the problem. :-)

I think that depends a bit on how many of the folks tainted by the AHP violation are still working at Pfizer. If Pfizer is made up of a bunch of companies that had violations thems…

Google bought the seed that became Android. The startup had only been working on the mobile phone OS concept for about a year when Google acquired it in 2005 (originally they'd pla…

Mill's approach is pretty similar to Rosetta in this regard - binaries are distributed in a relative high-level abstract format that's a bit like LLVM IR, and code generation for a…

But the locality is typically only a town. Emailing all the dealers in the area for a quote and driving a bit out of your way to pick up the car isn't that hard.

The Tartine Bread book (as of 2018) explicitly recommends the autolyse/rest period (page 52, with more explanation on page 73).
