Yeesh, looks like an antique fire hazard to me. Also, unless the video is mistaken, if that complex linkage fails or the inner heating element fails then the thermostat on it is going to be blocked by that bit on the bottom of the bread car

I can confirm that's the case, just did this last week.

It's a black hole, that's not going to be throwing off black body radiation like that. It would be just hawking radiation plus whatever effects from matter in its accretion disk. That would still amount to pumping out 35.6 GW of h

Especially high level radioactive waste which is some of the only stuff you might care enough about to worry about a "permanent" solution. The existing nuclear payloads are either RTGs or occasionally fresh fuel that is only light

I agree that it's not quite as simple as what he was suggesting but it's also not just majority rule, even if the majority want to screw over the rest of the shareholders. That's old established case law, at least in the US.

This is incorrect. Beef takes a ton of food and releases a good bit of greenhouse gases but nowhere near a ton per kg of meat. Here's a study looking at multiple other studies on the CO2 equivalent greenhouse gases per kg of beef. In p

Overcomplicated designs is like the rocket equation for software engineering. Adding unnecessary abstractions, caching layers, abstract business logic, etc isn't an additive effect, it's a multiplicative one. This is how you take

IIRC from the last time this came up on HN Walmart claimed that they had installations at other stores inspected independently of Tesla and they found a bunch of sloppy work that could have contributed to the risk of a fire. It's not j

You can use anything from that block as well and there are situations where you might want a different loopback address or multiple loopback addresses. /8 of the public address space is massively excessive though.

The whole point of providing an incentive is to give a bunch of decentralized miners a reason to devote a reasonable amount of processing power to securing the blockchain. If there's only a single non-profit mining the chain, because w

For anyone else wanting to be overly pedantic, the weight difference between a fully charged P100D and a nominally depleted P100D works out to 39.281 Nanonewtons. Those weight reduction mods are really getting out of hand. /s

Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way, but I'd handle enumerating this just like enumerating a set of three numbers. For an integer i just do (1-2(i%2)) * (i/2) using integer division. If it's recursively enumerable wi

A good way of thinking about the problem is that you're essentially trying to create an "impedance mismatch" to prevent transmitting pressure waves in much the same way that an impedance mismatch works electronically and limi
