I highly recommend getting the full book. This should be required reading for every housing developer. If you ever felt like a house or community was uncomfortable or made you subc…

I'm sure that was 100% secure, too. /s (I did the same thing back then.)

The link OP submitted appears to be a webpage displaying a screenshot of another web page, and the image aspect ratio has been altered. It's so comically bad it had to be on purpos…

Statistically overdetection leads to poorer outcomes because interventions have a risk as well. That's why everyone doesn't get a yearly full body CT scan, for example. The current…

Markets are forward looking, pricing in future cash flows. No one should be thinking about SpaceX's present value when buying their stock. If you do that you'll always be too late …

It's a joke about how fast it compiles. whoosh

Why is that?

> ... applying the same steps and rules n times I do this too, with a document written for this purpose. > ... a significant chunk of those runs involved the agent waiting for the …

I don't understand how some of y'all use these things. I get garbage unless I give them very specific concrete tasks with as much context as possible. Anything that takes more than…

Worth noting the cost of dealing with Treasury's absolute dumpster fire of a website, though.

I didn't say that at all. I said it was achievable for SpaceX eventually. It's not a $1T company yet. Reading comprehension, people.

Historically a $1T market cap with a PE of 20.0 would be achievable with a $50B/yr profit. That seems easily achievable eventually for SpaceX, as it has actual hardware and service…

"What would you say you do here?" "A lot of things." You still gave zero concrete information about why HR is necessary. Which is exactly the problem here.

As we enter this era of far more qualified candidates than jobs, HR will die eventually the equivalent of index funds is for hiring. Just as most money managers didn't beat the mar…

For me a TUI constrains the style of presentation to something reasonably good. In an era of websites with tiny light gray font on dark gray background, where scrolling is really a…

I don't know, Claude Shannon did okay.

We didn't know as much about possible nuclear reactions back then, so I think they thought there was a possibility that there was an exothermic chain involving N or O that could be…

Some chess sites make you solve a checkmate problem for a captcha. Are those automated now, or is that a good method?

You are quite correct. I'm also free to dislike him for his choices.

So Nate & Co sell out to a big corporation then are upset that it does big corporation stuff? I'm more mad at Nate here because 538 was my go-to for political coverage pre-sellout,…

I did. I made my own custom start page back in the day with frequently used searches, along with headlines, weather, stocks, etc. Instead of menus, it just divided topics using hor…

This is why I frequently post about how I miss Gopher. It kind of forced this hierarchy.

EV motors can rev insanely high, so they don't need to shift gears, while most gas engines are limited to 6-7k RPM from factory. Thus the gassers need gears that essentially torque…

> TeX is "80s good" Bingo. Compared to troff and what preceded, TeX was amazing just in its usage. But its real value was in the quality of its typesetting. Knuth put a lot of effo…

False: the truly wealthy don't drive themselves anywhere.
