It implies the existence of an inverse gigabanana.

Even the second edition is over twenty years old. I don't think there's any reason not to read the second edition.

How often is the holding period updated for a stock that’s already been purchased?

I have this desk from a Michigan-based company called Deskhaus (https://desk.haus/collections/sale/products/apex-pro-max-but...). It’s very stable. They also have a YouTube channel, and they test the wobbliness of desks in a few videos (e.g., https://youtu.be/dv-vjJqukn0).

Hey, I've been on your waitlist for quite a while! When can I buy your product? I've been on the verge of building my own EEG due to a lack of quality options.

You might have been colloquially correct. Microwaves travel at the speed of light, but my microwave that heats up a Hot Pocket can't. :-)

Wow, no mention of Practical Engineering, yet?!

If you're interested in how the grid works and has evolved, I really enjoyed The Grid: Biography of an American Technology by Julie A. Cohn (https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262537407/the-grid/).

Interestingly, no Kindle version of The Power Broker is available, although there were reports in 2021 that one was purchasable on Amazon for a very short time [1]. I really dislike handling large books, especially if I'm reading in a casual setting. Because of this, I decided to start reading The Years of Lyndon Johnson series instead, which do have Kindle versions.

I recently started reading the The Years of Lyndon Johnson and desperately want to see the documentary mentioned in the article, Turn Every Page. Alas, it doesn't seem to be playing anywhere near me [1]. Maybe other people reading will have a chance.

Can this idea be turned on its head to engineer adversarial legal language that sounds reasonable but actually has terrible implications for the signee?

To my knowledge, it is an open challenge to find real-world problem instances where existing quantum annealers outperform state-of-the-art classical alternatives. It's even hard to find _extremely contrived families of instances_ where practical computational benefits can be observed with quantum annealing. I recently contributed to one such benchmarking manuscript [1], which may indicate future promise as the number of qubits in quantum annealers continues to increase.

Anyway, as a result of that experience, I'm skeptical of the benchmarking efforts that led these two companies to the conclusion that quantum annealing is more cost-effective than dropping in a classical alternative as the inner optimization solver. D-Wave even has some reasonably efficient, open-source algorithms that can be used as a point of comparison (e.g., [2]). I'd be interested in reading more about the companies' benchmarks, as this article is very light on details.
