I imagine after he did that once or twice his net worth would fall considerably more than the value of Twitter.
minitoar··on Understanding DeepMind's sorting algorithm
Loved that game.
minitoar··on Why buying furniture is so miserable
I imagine most people don’t have the time, space, or skill to do this.
minitoar··on There Were Half As Many Affordable Homes For Sale In 2022 As There Were In 2021
because if housing was affordable for most people then the demand for rentals would be greatly reduced and you wouldn’t get a decent yield

minitoar··on Amazon Buys One Medical
idk about the new thing but OneMedical’s per-visit costs were quite high.
minitoar··on IsOdd (and IsEven) as a Service
Does it support base 11?
minitoar··on Why would a 21st century warplane shoot a balloon with a missile?
That balloon was not at high altitude. From the article you linked:

>``It’s at an altitude and an area where trans-Atlantic flights pass nearby,″

That is around 35k feet. I’m talking about the altitude that the recent Chinese balloon was at, around 60k feet.

minitoar··on Why would a 21st century warplane shoot a balloon with a missile?
At high altitude these sorts of balloons are massively stretched out due to the low atmospheric pressure. A puncture will cause catastrophic failure of the balloon.
minitoar··on D.C. free bus bill becomes law as zero-fare transit systems take off
I didn’t say it was enough, I was just pointing out that it’s analogous to a transit fare.
minitoar··on D.C. free bus bill becomes law as zero-fare transit systems take off
arguably fuel tax is that fare

This guys channel is awesome. Been following him for years.
minitoar··on Tripping Californians who paved the way to our touchscreen world (2017)
Really struggled to parse this title. I was like why are we tripping these people? Literally tripping them or metaphorically?
minitoar··on Making unphishable 2FA phishable
The thread we are in is talking specifically about using cli tools on a remote machine, so that’s why I mentioned it. If you have that you don’t need a hole in the firewall.
minitoar··on Making unphishable 2FA phishable
eh if you have shell access anyway this is easy to circumvent.
minitoar··on The last three years of my work will be permanently abandoned
It’s also weighted by market cap which makes this a pain to manage.
minitoar··on The last three years of my work will be permanently abandoned
Sorta. Meta is a component of the sp500. It’s pretty difficult to avoid buying that.

ssh -D ftw
minitoar··on The New Smoking (2021)
Nicotine gives me anxiety.
minitoar··on The New Smoking (2021)
Minor nitpick: nicotine is also psychoactive.

minitoar··on Accelerated forgetting of a trauma event after a single dose of hydrocortisone
It’s a disorder if the stress interferes with your daily life, e.g. you can’t hold down a job or your personal relationships suffer.
minitoar··on New motorcycle lighting design could save lives
I was merely stating what I felt was a relevant fact.
minitoar··on New motorcycle lighting design could save lives
Every motorcycle helmet manual I’ve read explicitly says not to put stickers on the helmet. Protecting the foam from moisture is important — a rainy ride can significantly weaken the foam. Eg: https://www.bellhelmets.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-bel...
minitoar··on New motorcycle lighting design could save lives
Helmets are tested in a variety of impact scenarios without modification. Who knows how some random attachment might negatively affect those outcomes. Presumably you might use some sort of adhesive to attach things — that adhesive can damage and weaken the shell of the helmet.
minitoar··on New motorcycle lighting design could save lives
I obviously didn’t say that. The exception for motorcycles is extremely limited — it’s more of a high frequency pulsing than a flashing.
minitoar··on New motorcycle lighting design could save lives
Agreed about not modifying the helmet but I could imagine a helmet with such a thing built in.
minitoar··on CT scans of batteries
I’m pretty sure by “generated electricity” they mean from some other source.
minitoar··on New motorcycle lighting design could save lives
Most (all?) vehicle codes don’t permit other colors or flashing lights unless it’s an emergency vehicle.
