Windy does allow switching between different models, which can be helpful to roughly gauge probability. Definitely not perfect though. And some of the models are consistently inaccurate for specific locations in certain conditions in my exp

windy.com is great for forecasts, but you have to be careful of the model used for certain sports. (For example, the NAM model can be more accurate for low wind gusts.) In my spare time over the last couple weeks I've been building a P

My bet is the problem is related to the USB transfer. I've read about similar problems migrating data to Synology via USB. Don't remember where I read that, though...

Is Tempe/Phoenix any good for getting around without a car? All I know about is the sprawl and hostile road design.

In my opinion, there should be pay cuts to continue coming to the office with a 2 hour commute by car. Google's proposal incentivizes the wrong thing.

At least this is a public project. In the United States, we have no problem using eminent domain to tear down homes for private business interests (read: Foxconn in Wisconsin [1]). [1] https://www.theguardian.com/us-news&#x2

Apple Maps needs to provide bicycle directions in my city (Madison, Wisconsin). Until then, it's literally nonfunctional for the vast majority of my trips.

The picture in the article is of a protected two way bike path. If the robot was in the car lane here, a driver could not pass in the bike path. I could envision problems with unprotected bike lanes, but those are dangerous by design [1]. H

In my opinion, these robots should just drive in the street with cars. If they get run over, nobody gets hurt. It might actually make things safer by forcing drivers to pay more attention!

There's definitely amenities at home that seem simple but seriously factor into my preference to WFH. For example, a Toto washlet. I visited Japan in Feb 2020 and purchased a bidet promptly afterwards, along with starting WFH at the on

As you point out, you cannot buy a new car today (in the US) without a wide array of safety features for occupants. Why isn't the same true for pedestrians and bicyclists?

I disagree. There's no technical reason SUV and pickup truck front bumper design is so dangerous. People just prefer that design because it looks more appealing. "When a car strikes a cyclist, the initial impact causes severe lowe

Safety... for whom? Occupants, yes. But for pedestrians, bicyclists and other vulnerable road users, it's gotten worse with the trend for larger vehicles [1][2][3] in the last decade. [1] https://www.iihs.org/news/

Do you have a source? Anecdotally I've found clipless to make my power transfer more efficient. Some quick googling shows this seems to be true: "Mean power output was higher using clipless pedals ( = 617 watts, SD = 112) than to

If your city properly prioritizes parks and makes them safe and easy for everyone to walk to, they're better for field games than a backyard anyways. Unfortunately children in the US aren't given a lot of freedom to explore and de

Wow. This is a significant UX improvement for MacOS users! I might try FF as my daily personal browser in lieu of Safari. Overscroll and (to a lesser extent) native context menus are huge to me.

A cheap beat up iPhone SE fulfills this requirement for $75. If you're leaving it at home anyways it doesn't need to be pretty or fast. Just needs to allow you to set up the Apple Watch.
