Firefox is working just fine for me, not sure why people seemed to think that it was a problem. I think Mozilla is poorly managed and feature may have been slow or "lagging behind". But for me the lack of those shiny new things mi

Minimal UI is best, especially since buttons don't have man pages.

> Weight loss has very little to do with exercise and mostly to do with how much you eat. That's not an accurate statement. Over the past year I have averaged 2 hours of aerobics per day (~1500 active CAL). And I've simply buff

That's actually a lot bigger than I thought - The largest asteroid Ceres would be 1/3 the diameter of this water sphere (860mi) That's a LOT of water.

Got my M1 in 2020 when it first launched and was drawn by the 15 inch air due to the screen real estate, but have literally no other reason to replace it. Couldn't say the same for any other 4 years old laptop.

So what's the profit? Assuming all $114M is profit, Elon dropped what, $43B on this? Which ever way you look at it, it looks pretty bad.

Therein lies the problem, as you'd expect a company to arrange for this, via just go ahead and .. do it? But I guess as a society we are constantly inventing higher level of first world problems that's probably the result of echo

> rides 100km saving watts along the way. You vastly overestimates that tiny battery and motor vs. the athlete's legs. The only time it make sense is in sprints where it can contribute a significant torque increase for a short while

Or just altitude camps. In the CO paper they were claiming that CO rebreathing had "similar impact" as altitude camps, which makes a lot of sense given both of them are essentially attempts to deprive body of oxygen. Don't be

It's because the tiny engine is pretty much useless except for flat courses with a sprint finish. Any mountains and the cyclist have to carry that deadweight all the way just for it to work for the last minute, and by the end of the cl

If you don't need it to fit into your existing skinny road bike tube you might actually get one that last for a few hour instead of a few minutes lol.

I think the only reason that motor doping is pretty much non-existent today is really because that it's useless unless it's a flat sprint stage. The battery and the motor would be significant weight to carry when it comes to the m

They basically already did, forced the bikes to be heavier than 6.9 kg, killed almost all design innovation that didn't results in 2 triangles on the frame, etc. Everyone is essentially riding very expensive version of the same bike. 9

Imagine if they made a data center with 1957 electronics that cost $279 million. They probably won't be using it now because the phone in your pocket is likely more powerful. Moore law did end but data center stuff are still evolving o

Before I started this I would say "exercise is good", but only now do I truly know how good it is. I think there's a gap between the perceived benefits and the actual ones and that gap would explains a lot of the hesitance.

THe bay area is the best for cycling in the US. Unfortunately I have left but it really is the best. Category 2 climb a few miles away and bike lane on most roads is hard to beat by US standards.

After I started to seriously engage in endurance exercise (specifically swim, bike, run.. no coincidence), I've made the surprise discovery at how massive the improvement has been over the assumed cost of having these changes. People,
