I won't be surprised if FFT of tinnitus, if we could make one, reveals a very accurate picture of the patient's health.

Ha, that's a good one. I wonder what a marriage of two high ranked VPs looks like.

They should switch to logarithmic scale and just say "an order-21 time interval". These "zepto" prefixes are gibberish.

Luckily, we won't have this problem with "SARS-CoV-2".

This reminds me of what the Lincoln character said in the same named movie about the 13th amendment: "what you will be to our nation after this I don't know." Well, now we know.

Eh.. this will cost me some reputation points on HN, but I have to say this. Why "Spanish flu" and not H1N1-A-18? That flu is called "Spanish" only because Spain's newspapers openl…

I believe that the debate around Section 230 is a sign of the growing consensus among the ruling class that Project Internet is complete, that it's successfully deployed a world wi…

Brave's business model is also about ads.

Well, for a founder of a $40 bil company, the American dream is real and even got HDR colors.

That's a rhetorical question, right? In any company, employees don't get to capture any value. In Cisco, even if he turned his unit into a $50 billion business, he would be lucky t…

Troy citizens also believed that if something is called a horse and looks like a horse, then it's obviously a horse and can't be anything else, especially when it's given for free.…

Mozilla is almost entirely funded by Google.

We'll have to run our own fork of Chromium, just to run uBO. And that makes sense: it's strange to call a browser supplied by an ad company a "user agent".

In fact, it's a really simple app: a height map on a sphere approximated with triangles. With a bit more extra complexity, the app could do raymarching on a interpolated height map…

We can go even deeper and ask how we'd call sound-like gravity waves in spacetime? Some sort of oscillating system of heavy stars can produce a periodic gravity wave that we'd call…

Here's an experiment. One cubic mile of space in a gravity free region is filled with tennis balls that freely float around and bounce each other from time to time. If we produce a…

Isn't it the same as the speed of light? If sound is an abstract wave-like signal, then it can be transmitted equally well with radio waves or molecules in the air. The paper shoul…

"management has been more receptive" - that's a corpspeak for "nothing has changed", i.e. a bunch of vague statements with no substance that lazily nudge the reader to attribute so…

Except that unions will bring their own non-compete non-negotiable agreements.

So long as the software industry is expanding, the salaries are growing and software engineers have freedom to jump ships, I don't see unions coming. The recipe to make a union is …

How much was that severance exactly?

So how does it work for them? What's the typical pay rate in Kickstarter?

Politics can be Luddites too? They see the world is moving forward, and as it's escaping the reach of their small grabby hands, they enact the "Earn IT" act as an attempt to return…

Section 8.2.3.42. The bot's opinion are its own and don't represent the company's viewpoint. You waive your rights to pursue a legal action for any damage caused directly or indire…

Those 80 billions are the micro investments I was talking about. EU needs a 100-trillion-dollar project for the next 50 years + change some laws to improve competition. With 80 bil…
