    By name servers they mean DNS. I don't believe it is used and I hadn't heard of it, more info here if you search WKS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DNS_record_types

    Others have answered, but I think the general principle for a Region is that between the AZs you have less than 1ms latency, physical separation between the data centers, but they …

    Not sure, I haven't used that platform personally, there is probably a debugging interface to the chip but it will probably require different hardware/software.

    This is similar to what I did: https://learn.adafruit.com/proper-step-debugging-atsamd21-ar... . That is for that specific platform, not sure if there is something similar for the …

    I find it depends a lot on my level of understanding of the project I'm working on. If I wrote 20% or more of the code, or if I was involved in the design, etc., when there is a pr…

    I think if the government is going to subsidize something, politically aerospace makes a lot of sense. It has jobs for engineering, technicians, and high-skill trades. It has a lon…

    Every zero-sum adversarial system would be a lot more efficient if they accepted the judgement of a third party instead. How much energy could we save if we dismantled the court sy…

    I'd be really interested if anyone has a book or similar on supply and demand curves estimation by experiment. Ideally I'm looking for a cookbook type book less so than a theory bo…

    Ok, I doubt I'll ever take an hour to listen to this, but I really enjoyed the book. It was very interesting to see the little particularities of the legal system and the participa…

    I like the book Information Rules by Shapiro and Varian as a review of these kinds of concepts in general. I don't think it is necessary to even view these topics as strategy, to a…

    Thanks, not OP but that looks useful to me. For context, I've used the strategy in OP to debug a small linux system running on an SD card, if I have one version that has a bug and …

    I like the way Ben Horowitz puts it in his good pm, bad pm document: Good product managers focus the team on revenue and customers. Bad product managers focus team on how many feat…

    For typing I doubt it, ideally you should be able to type fine if the display only updated every 10 seconds. For i.e. the arrow keys, or anything interactive you will probably have…

    I think it is a very reasonable test. There are other industries that regulate themselves in other ways. For example, a huge training process and then jail time for lying about it,…

    It does look like a really interesting avenue of research. I see a lot of statistical "evidence" presented as justifying interventions without even hesitating to consider if they'v…

    I hadn't heard 50/50 in that context before, it is a gunshot to the spine?

    I think the ideal scenario for this tech is running a downtown core to airport shuttle: - a short trip allows battery needs to not be excessive - bypass traffic, you don't have to …

    A few early thoughts: I think about half of their 2017 net loss was due to something to do with Convertible Notes, that they're explaining on pages F-43 and F-44. I'm trying to cal…
