Crimnals tend to start small, if uncaught, go big.

Right click and open in vlc/iina is my preferred way

The construction prices you quoted are not correct at least in the Bay Area. And I am guessing $150/sq ft achievable at scale.

Pricing ADUs is tricky because the some of things in a house cost same for a small to medium size home. For example, the costs of plumbing, electrical, kitchen, bathroom, etc are more of less the same between a 500 sq.ft. house and a 1000 sq. ft house.

80M 512 byte I/O per second. That’s 10M 4KB I/O per second. That’s not groundbreaking.

Sorry to correct you. But the first person alone in lunar orbit was John Young during the Apollo 10 mission

Every brokerage house has this problem. If their client goes bankrupt, then the brokerage house has to eat the loss.

My wife has been hoarding tons of garbage from Buy Nothing Group. I wish she joined No Nothing Group.

That's taking it a bit too far. Now that Apple has shown multiple times that software can be used to bridge the transition from one architecture to another, I have a feeling that x86 will also take a similar route of revisiting the ISA to scale up the performance while supporting legacy ISA through software.

Apple is not opposed to payment systems that load money from a website into a platform like Spotify or Amazon. They are opposed to payment systems that bypass their Apple payment system from an app.

So we have a new king in the North

I wouldn't be surprised if citizens sue governments for loss of housing. I am not saying it was unwanted but if people are forced to shut down their businesses, it is obvious that many of them will eventually default.

While I agree with not using very advanced IDEs. It is important to have the means to quickly navigate standard libraries. MSDN gets my vote for that.

Fooled!

In the 90s and 2000s, cars had too many buttons and knobs. And car reviewers started using that as a criterion to judge the dashboard. So less became better. OCD!

It’s ironic that Covidien was the name of the company that screwed up the ventilator supply.

The feeling of wetness is something that you get used to once you realize that your butt clean.

On the flip side, most people who use toilet paper think their butts will get completely clean. That is actually not the case.

But either is not a big deal because the skin in that hind area is quite resilient.

To the surprise of many people, the game-changer in bathroom hygiene is properly washing hands after using the toilet. People in developing countries lack access to clean water and soap. Nobody really misses toilet paper.

Viruses do mutate. So for many people, the body may never develop complete immunity.

The city will also require bringing electrical, plumbing, mechanical up to code.

Universities want to generate royalty from the patents. Their motivation is not to block others from using their patents.

May not be required for gaming but for their GPGPU market that is going to be a big win.

Another use case is the Cloud gaming market where a single GPU needs to serve multiple users.

Deplaning is not a very significant problem because there are other things that are being taken care of while it is happening.

However, you can't start boarding until a certain point and from there until the plane leaves the gate, a lot of resources are locked.

Nobody but they themselves are to be blamed.

I don't think they revamped their business model as much others who survived did. Their website and newsletter feels like it is from the 2000's.

The stores are just too big and unintuitive.

Most useless products are at the entrance.

The checkout takes ages even if there are only 2-3 customers in the line.

If he was not able to manage that kind of money the first time, he will not go very far the second time. Most likely he will come up with a similar Ponzi scheme and burn all his cash.

Apps that use deepfake like algorithms to enhance photos can fall into that category.

In the last 4-5 years, Softbank basically caused hyperinflation in the startup world.

Our IT has told us to not upgrade macOS because the wireless keyboard/mouse combo most of us use stops working.

Actually, the biggest incentive for SpaceX to reuse the parts was to bring down the costs to compete with the incumbents on pricing after factoring in their R&D costs. The older launch vehicles and their payloads are pretty much standardized. The have little incentive to improve.

They just open-sourced the instruction set. That is a big thing but if I am understanding it correctly, this is pretty much relinquishing the copyright to the instruction set. They are not open-sourcing any CPU.
