Not a designer or a manufacturing engineer so perhaps I don't understand the minutiae, but things we know that just work: Switches Buttons Dials Knobs and 3.5 mm jacks

I really want to use these advanced approaches more, and they make a lot of sense in the daily fantasy scene (this analysis was for tourney long EURO 2024 I think?), but for someth…

Unsurprising if you have noticed the way (I am going with 10-15%, unsubstantiated speculation) of people drive these days: -Running red lights -Not stopping at stop signs -Driving …

I heard about this on NPR the other day and immediately thought of the Skyscraper Index. Self-fulfilling prophecy, financial divination or not statistically relevant?

Haven't finished reading this but I do wonder about the (still fairly common?) belief that Russia and China very much distrust and despise each other. They're much different than t…

This is really cool, nice work! I knew U-boats operated off the Eastern US coast but I did not know they operated so much in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. Tangential, I've …

There are two types of Friday deployments: A) Deploying major changes B) Deploying small changes/bug fixes Don't do A.

How does this work exactly? 1) A blogger publishes an article warning about scammer/fraudster/terrorist known as person Person X. They publish on January 1 2024. 2) Person X wants …

That "sorry I assumed you already knew this" part of the answer is wild! So artificial but so real at the same time. I can't think of the word to describe that kind of behavior, it…

When CEOs or college presidents or others go before Congress like this, is it because they were invited or is it because they are subpoenaed? If it's the former, it really feels li…

I've always held TIE Fighter as the pinnacle. The story is epic and the dog fighting is very intense, not only early on when you're in an unshielded TIE Fighter (going up against T…

I can't find the actual picks that this LLM made, are they listed anywhere? As squirrelmaster commented [1], would be very worthwhile to see how this picked in regards to the (bett…

And a non-Amazon link =^_^= https://www.cambridge.org/ve/universitypress/subjects/physic...

Can someone explain why it goes from strictly multiplication/division for Somos 1,2 and 3 but then at Somos 4 the addition operation is added? It seems completely arbitrary.

I must admit, it is slightly unsettling knowing that there is a communications side channel out there which could effectively DDOS every mobile phone. Not for nothing, I understand…

I vehemently (border line militantly) refuse to use these services and actively tell friends and family not to use them. There are a few reasons but at the core, it's not right tha…

How do you consider this a loan by the city? They sold the management concessions for a (potentially) fixed fee and in 75 years they'll get the rights back but nothing more. Or you…

How is this not a bigger story? Was just at our local corner store, they've apparently been down all afternoon.

I had been floating around this theory that the original Wagner "mutiny" was actually a maskirovka ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_military_deception ) and was being coordi…

Thankyou for sharing this.

This is incredible! How does it work? Kevin Harlan's voice sounds EXACTLY the same: https://my90stv.com/#0-fAbPN9CgM

Man you read these airline "stuck on the tarmac for hours" stories and it makes you want to explode in rage. Even if it's only 50% true, this one is next level; can't remember a st…
