What you're forgetting is it absolutely would not work when you first put it together. You would then begin a journey of debugging which would teach you a lot more than any YouTube video ever could.

I wonder how you got that TLDR. He literally said they hired a bunch of people only because they did Elm.

There's a very weird asterisk about it not being considered vegetarian. I would understand it not being vegan with the bun and all, but how did they manage to incorporate meat products into a cauliflower sandwhich?

Just to give a little context as a pilot: It is the job of the tower controller to decide who uses the runway when. There are often multiple planes waiting to take off, and multiple planes nearing the airport to land. It's not uncommon

Has anyone actually tried the experiment posed in the article? If I go to Amazon and search 'spatula', I get pretty reasonable results: - A Kitchenaid spatula for $7.99 - A similar set of two knockoff brand ones for $13.99 - Some

Unlike the NOTAM outage, a METAR outage will and should actually affect flights. Without weather at your destination it becomes impossible to know if it’s safe to land there. The forecasts (TAF) are actually used more in flight planning, bu

I would personally recommend trying TFE paste, rather than Teflon tape. Easier to get a seal, less annoying to tighten.

I think the title is using the word 'inevitably' where they mean 'eventually' or 'ultimately'. It's not inevitable that people who invest in Bitcoin lose money, for example, they could have changed their m

It’s called premium economy and it exists on most major airlines.

It’s worth pointing out that the last row on a plane often doesn’t recline, so the idea of everyone reclining is a bit of a red herring. That said, you do know that when you book your flight (if you’re wealthy enough to pay for a specific s

I personally disagree with this. I think that instinct is very meaningful and valid, and most people would be better off co-sleeping with their children rather than teaching them how to be alone more effectively when they’re too young to ha

Even a flat piece of foam will generate lift [1]. The only requirement per se is that the trailing edge of the wing is somewhat sharp. A more optimized shape would allow the plane to fly at a lower angle of attack and would reduce drag, but

It sounds like you have never actually visited Iceland as a tourist or resident intentionally. It’s a beautiful place, perhaps not best judged on emergency layovers.

Sabotage, to me, explicitly means that the act was committed with the intent of derailing the project’s original purpose. This act seems orthogonal to the original intent of the project, so it’s underhanded but it’s not really sabotage.

For the record, the 'Feels Like' temp usually takes wind speed into account. It's probably not necessary for the dev to include that factor manually. For me it showed 79F and sunny as 'pants weather' (my Feels Like

The most wild thing, to me, is how effectively it has been taken over by scam artists. The other day I tuned into a 'startup pitch' show where the premise is you pitch your company idea to an 'investor'. Unfortunately in

When they say to tuck your head, tuck your head to the side so you roll over your shoulder. Don't just tuck forward so you roll over your neck. Think of it as putting one of your ears on the same shoulder.

If you’re thinking of buying a Dymo, just get a refurbished Zebra printer. They’re actually meant for commercial use and don’t have any of these issues.

You could use something like Cloudflare Access to secure it, while it's on the Internet. There's no reason you need to build the security just because you build the tool.

Hate to say it, but I'm not sure this type of visualization is ideal for this data. Given that the actual clustering is meaningless, I would think a simple histogram would expose the relationship between the different cities better. My

Tesla makes improvements at a much faster rate than conventional car companies, which results in what we might call 'hacks' as those changes matriculate through the other design components. It's not ideal, but decades of buil

The Model 3 was designed later than the original S and X, meaning it had a fit-and-finish which S and X lacked, at least until the recent refresh. I see that disparity as an example of Tesla disrupting itself, being willing to launch a lowe

It's also worth noting that much of JWST is now twenty year old technology. Assuming it isn't a total failure which needs to be salvaged for PR reasons, it will almost certainly make more sense to build a new observatory in ten ye

Empathy is a powerful thing. We make many little decisions during the work week around if it's ok to take something down, if an engineer's request needs to be handled immediately, etc. I think the goal of the company is to align e

There is very good data on this. Infection rates are roughly 5x higher, and death rates 13x higher, among the unvaccinated.

We don't really know what happened here, because as far as I can tell the OP didn't actually engage with anyone to understand what was happening. It seems most likely that the company needed to focus more on one project than anoth
