I agree that many officeplaces are "intense" or downright toxic. But keep in mind that the diversity initiatives you are concerned about are actual attempts to make the workplace less intense and toxic -- for women, people of colo

Hey, I was there, too! It was a long way to go to end up watching the catch attempt on monitors in a hangar. If I remember correctly, the problem was that the deceleration sensors were drawn upside down.

The composite video output on the back of a computer at a time when many televisions didn't have composite inputs was pretty advanced. At the time, we had to use a converter (I believe to UHF) that screwed on to two terminals on the ba

Apple //c from 1984 (with the original receipt!) The composite video output means I can plug it right into my 50" tv without any special hardware and everything looks great. I removed the disk drive cable from the motherboard

I covered a Texas Tech study that showed how perchlorate can be passed to babies via breast milk. That was in... 2005. The EPA's recent decision is extremely disappointing. https://www.wired.com/2005/02/rocket

Or maybe what he's saying is, "I would rather my kids learn that they should explore and enjoy the world, rather than never take any big risks." There are a lot of parents in the world. Once you start judging them (for action

Not sure why you got downvoted. But the point is that if you weren't planning on solar in the first place, the long-term economics of a Tesla roof look even better. Your 30-year net cost is $12K + maintenance on the standard roof you g

You got a $12K quote for tile? How long is the warranty? Remember that the 80K quote includes solar, so you'd have to add a standard solar install of the same KW capacity to your initial quote to really compare apples to apples. You&#x

For me the most eye-opening lesson about the business world was the realization that you are not an entrepreneur just because you can build something. You become an entrepreneur when you build something that people are willing to pay for. Y

Could it be done better? Sure. But to be fair, the fields aren't all required. If you want to unsubscribe from emails, you only enter your email. It's pretty clear this is a low-tech solution that just sends the unsubscribe reques

I have yet to come across a healthcare provider -- physician, dentist, optemetrist -- who does NOT have a binding arbitration clause in their agreement. How do you avoid signing one when it has become the de facto standard?
