On the cheap, Earasers. They're small enough that they're almost invisible, and they're designed to attenuate roughly evenly across the audible spectrum. That makes them great for concerts, but other folks here claim that the

If you work this problem long enough you're going to converge on apartments/condos. It solves the problem you care about and all the caveats mentioned.

These machines are great. I still use my 2015 rMBP as a secondary. It's a little slow now but a couple years ago I was still running Solidworks (in Bootcamp) on it with minimal issues.

as someone who used to drink daily but stopped, I found that I dramatically overestimated how much the average USian drinks. when you're surrounded by drinkers it's an easy mistake to make.

More true for people above a certain height. There are many countries with a higher obesity rate than the U.S. but none who sell 80% trucks and SUVs. Edit: if the above hypothesis is true, we would expect average car size to correlate with

The conversation around microplastics rarely includes this info - a significant fraction of microplastics in an urban environment are from car tires, potentially the single largest source IIRC.

This is why we should be naming companies things like "Bay State Marine Drives & Propulsion, LLC" A bit less sexy but considerably better than "Indigo" or "Shai-Hulud Corp"

if someone is underutilizing an asset like land, to the point that they wouldn't be able to flow enough cash to pay fairly assessed taxes on it, maybe there should be an incentive to sell, rent out, or refinance the property. Lot of em

SLAM from monoscopic video. I imagine without an IMU or other high quality pose estimator you'll need to do a fair bit of manual cleanup.

I don't think OP wants to do an Ironman, they want the things they listed. Personally I get the pursuit of a goal - I am training for some ultra bike events - but the fixation on that goal didn't emerge out of nowhere, and nobody

Cars are the suburban denizen's power armor. They are not a tool, they are an extension of the self. Walk up to a person in a car and lay your hand on the hood - they will likely react as if they felt a stranger's caress on the sm

Is this sarcasm? There's a lot of precedent for people living lives mostly on bike, where I live in the Northeast US the car ownership rate is about 50% among my peer group. I own a car but find it easier to do most errands by bike. I

Local bikeshare has been a godsend for me. I own like 5 bikes but they're all either fancy or broken, but I can walk a couple blocks, almost always grab a bike immediately, and ride off.

Why did taxes go up? That seems to be separate from the issue of construction causing an inconvenience, but is apparently a decisive factor. FWIW the Civic Center area of SF used to be the theater district before BART was built through ther

I used to work with a PCB vendor in SV who had two buildings - fab and assembly. Fab was almost 100% Indian, assy was almost 100% vietnamese. They mostly hired out of foreign language newspapers.
