It's not all bad


remote work policy is now a major topic. You'd be laughed out of any number of job interviews for asking about remote work policy, whereas now it's a completely fair question.

With coherent detection I think the separation between eyes would allow for this.

Except that this problem doesn't specify distance between horseman, so I think it's a bit bogus


no need to resolve an individual person to be able to tell that they're there. And for hair color, if you make assumptions about the clothes being worn, you could perhaps infer color of hair, even if the hair isn't resolvable (a person being a "single pixel" would have a different hue depending).

Dipoles are, effectively, not


so if you have a charged bit and another opposite charged bit, while an inverse relationship might exist between either one, the net effect is that it drops off much faster.

The thing with gravity is it tends to go one way, unlike, say, charge.

We're in the market for a kid carrying ebike, and while REI makes the most financial sense, I think we'll be paying a visit to our LBS.

As an aside, I tend to prefer Sports Basement. Have had better luck with their bike department, too. No idea if they're better from a corporate standpoint though.

This is the real big brain hack with decibels


you can use a linear scale, it's just that the units are logarithmic instead.

(Yes I know most people would call a dB axis logarithmic, it's just a silly comment.)

My $4k piece of carbon and $3k hunk of titanium would like to have a word...

I would bet just about anything that the only reason profit margins could possibly be higher for a car is due to volume


which, if everyone rode bikes, wouldn't be an issue at all.

Absolute profit, sure


cars are more expensive, so they'll win out.

We still use leaded gas for aviation, as does (I believe) the EU (I'm guessing RoW, too).

(Supposed to be banned this year in the EU but AFAICT pushed back until 2032.)

Deja vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something.

Fail2ban config can get fairly involved in my experience. I'm probably not doing it the right way, as I wrote a bunch of web server ban rules


anyone trying to access wpadmin gets banned, for instance (I don't use WordPress, and if I did, it wouldn't be accessible from my public facing reverse proxy).

I just skimmed my nginx logs and looked for anything funky and put that in a ban rule, basically.

And probably only the second half of the 2nd amendment.

The lack of logic is astounding.

These are the same people who think abstinence only education works. Safe to say they're a few fries short of a Happy Meal.
