Haha, fair point. To be clear, the production Onewheels are a very good workout to ride. Unlike a segway, they require a lot of balance and hip/leg movements. Additionally, they are extremely maneuverable. I ride mine on mountain b

Agreed. As a longtime rider, I will unequivocally state that 95% of serious injuries on these things are from new riders who get overconfident (and ignore every single piece of advice on the website and on the tons of Youtube channels) and

I'm a daily rider of a Onewheel XR. I've got a few thousand miles on mine, and I do a ton of trail riding here in Colorado. I'm pretty obsessed with these things. All that aside, I would advise anyone who wants to try going

There's not an increased rate of cancer around the area. People have lived in this area for a long time. My neighborhood is upwind not downwind. There's no increased cancer cluster anywhere downwind of the site. The data should

The single sample that halted the construction of the Jefferson parkway was erroneous. Feel free to Google and you will see that there was limited media coverage of this sample turning out to be bunk. Naturally the media coverage was very

If you look at the map of that plume, you see that it was most heavily concentrated in areas miles to the east. Ironically my neighborhood is right off of 72 and 93 and is completely white on the map. https://en.m.wikipedia.org&#

I also live in Northwest Arvada and we had 115 mph winds today. My coworkers were hearing my house rattle when I was on a call today. If your house is close to 93 and 72 you probably have a ton of debris in your yard. The Chinook winds wer

The remediations are massive concrete structures covering large swaths of the ground. A brush fire being pushed by heavy winds isn't going to do anything to it. Additionally the large subdivision was not built on the site but surround

I live in the subdivision. When you purchase a home there you are legally required to be provided and then sign a document that outlines the history of the Rocky Flats plutonium facility. I was provided this document and had to sign it as

I live west of Rocky Flats. I actually walked onto the now refuge that surrounds the plant tonight and took photos of the fires in the distance. It should be noted that the contaminated areas of Rocky flats are extremely secure and buried

I live just south of Superior. Let me know if you need a place to stay and I can assist. My area has just been removed from the pre-evacuation zone, since the winds have finally subsided. For anyone that doesn't live here, this was ca

You're being downvoted for no reason I can tell, other than the fact that NewsBuster is a source popular with right-wing audiences. There are people on HN who basically will downvote anything they perceive as being supportive of their

I used data identical to the Cambridge Analytica stuff in 2014 for a project on behalf of the Florida Democratic party (voter mobilization for midterms). I remember being shocked at the level of detail, and asking the Dem strategist running

This is excellent work. I worked on a similar project for my last company. However the goal was portable notebooks that could be executed anywhere, and rapidly deployed to various environments with minimal installation. I ended up using a

Correct. They are commenting on Poetry without knowing anything about it, other than it being new and unfamiliar. Always amazed at the arrogance behind that behavior.

by JPKab 5y ago
Huh? Have you ever used poetry before? Are you implying that it can't be used to install Python dependencies that have c/fortran like pandas? If that's what you're saying that is not correct.

Typical garbage from Business Insider. It's reminiscent of the dumb rednecks I grew up around who would call every rise in gas prices a conspiracy from the government or oil companies. It's just supply and demand. Businesses are

The United States Federal Government doesn't acknowledge that naturally conferred immunity for COVID exists in any policy. They admit that it's "something to be studied" and ignore all science from other nations. Meanw

So now we're going to suddenly admit that natural immunity is a thing. The science has been super clear on this for a long time. The problem is that the CDC and NIH, the grand tradition of federally funded science, have chosen not to

The numbers are the numbers. # of hospitalizations/# of cases is not a high number. It doesn't have to be a high number to overwhelm hospitals, I get that. But it's still a small percentage. When I caught it in February, b

Correct. For the vast majority of the population, COVID is already like the flu, but as you pointed out, a large enough percentage of the population (particularly obese/elderly/immune compromised) of people who contract it are at

Are you at a large corporation? A government agency? Just curious about what kind of project has more managers than developers. That's an amazing level of waste and incompetence to allow that to even happen.

Worked in defense in a previous life. Spent a lot of time in DC and northern Virginia. Take any amazing organization that does great things, give it a bunch of money, and have the revenue stream not get impacted by failure. You get rot.

Neither of the links above said anything about asymptomatic transmission. Neck beard of doom indeed.
