How can a simulation be more accurate than what it's simulating?

Check out Karabiner Elements ( https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/ ). You can create a rule to change caps lock to control if pressed with other keys, else escape if pressed alone. I have no affiliation with it, just ra

I'd be curious to see if the crash rate is similar to the crash rate of other cars in the same class (BMW, Mercedes, etc). Is it possible that people tend to drive more cautiously in a more expensive car?

Those "largely-irrelevant sci-fi stories" are partially what helped inspire the people that accomplished this.

Ignorant question (I'm not very familiar with the music business): what do the labels provide to the artists - why do they need to sign with Time Warner/Sony/etc at all, rather than just releasing their music to all distribut

Haha. I can see how someone would think I'm trolling, but I assure you I'm not. It's a pretty deeply-ingrained behavior that I perform quite often, so yes, it does make a difference. FF57 is still not so much better than Chro

I tried (again) to switch to FF yesterday when 57 was released, and unfortunately still ran into a known bug that makes it practically unusable for me: FF treats underscores as punctuation that breaks up a word, so given text "foo_bar&

Here's my point of view as someone who's title currently is "Senior DevOps Engineer", and used to be a software engineer for many years: DevOps has multiple meanings - in some (usually smaller) companies it can be though

I'm not even the target market (too young), and this is my favorite job board already. Very fast to navigate around - speed IS a feature! Also love how granular the locations are.

For me it's not so much the slow start-up time - that I can deal with since it happens so infrequently - it's the intermittent lag when typing or selecting text, and the high memory and CPU usage. A text editor should not be consu

Need to take dilution into account here. If we assume a (optimistic?) 1% stake, that's $650M. YC recently (1-2 years ago?) started giving 120k. Before that, it was 10-20k. So let's say half of what you said is the total investment

Took me a bit to figure out, but you can click on 'store' in the upper right. I would think that 'home' would/should take you there, though.

So Google basically took what Lytro has been using hardware to achieve, and did it entirely in software. Pretty impressive.

Interesting. "...our present thinking is that we won’t have to increase the size of our development groups, because we’ll simply be making programs that sell in larger quantities. We can get a very large amount of software revenue and

I think you guys are in agreement. Of course luck plays a role, but you have to put yourself out there to give yourself a chance to get lucky. The best entrepreneurs recognize lucky opportunities when they are presented - but they had to wo

In both examples that you provided, the cross-sectional area over which the force is applied is greater, so the overall pressure is lower. The magnitude of the force applied isn't the only parameter by which to judge the structural int

And yet arrogant enough to think that we're so much smarter and more advanced than those that came before or all other life forms we share this planet with. BTW, not saying I disagree with you - just a counterpoint that can be made.

I see the super chargers (and electric cars in general) more as a way of putting many gas stations out of business. Who will need to ever "fill up" their electric car when they can charge it over night each day? The only time you'll need to

One recommendation I have is to open up the number of events/minute. You should have at least 1 plan where that number is unlimited.

Given the utter insanity of what happened with this guy, I don't think anyone is in a position to judge what Iran gives a crap about or not.
