It is simply natural/biological. A bit like eating good food or having sex is pleasurable and essential but of course in a different way. Your body is tuned for that and without it you lack something (way more true for females). You mi

Yes, it’s going the way of cobol. Windows laptops will move to ARM to take advantage of power efficiency and follow Apple, then what is left of the desktop pc will follow. x86 will stay alive for legacy systems but will become more and more

Tesla is going the fastest route possible to complete autonomy. What we are seeing now is the beta program to get there as fast as possible. No one is forced into buying it. I am really happy that they have the gusto to push things forward,

That is the problem. High regulations that create a quasi-monopoly on products Who make that regulations? The government. The government is just a huge corporation without competition that can use violence legally on people. At each place w

Obviously, you don’t go 110% the first time. You should ease into it, push harder as the weeks go on and you gain more experience in the movement. The idea is that you body doesn’t require hours and hours of exercise to make change, just en

I did a mix of push up, pull up, crunch and a few movement with free weight( mostly upper body) for 12 min. The idea was to be completely exhausted, lying on the floor after it. For each exercice it was only one/two serie to failure. I

One way I recently tried that I like 10-15min all out 110% of what I think I can do. You push yourself past what you think is possible. Rest for 5-10 days. Incredible result, minimum time Work for cardio, muscle mass, etc. The idea is to gi

Creative, open people are heavily geared toward left thinking, it’s a question of personality. People in new tech, in journalism, in art are thus far more left leaning. That is good, this is thoses that push the boundaries of what is possib

So far, what I have seen is copycat cars with LiFePo batteries (low range) That may change. The Korean will probably make the best cars after Tesla, GM, Ford will go out of business, the chinese cars will take over all the low cost cars.

It’s all about the experience of fast charging. - Do you find a charger near you - Does it work? - Does it charge your particular vehicle fast? The rest is regular driving at mandated speed, nothing special with that. Most DC fast charger h

It would be very surprising that this represent real world experience. Tesla supercharger are everywhere and work well across the board, that is not the same experience with most fast DC charger. I think the the real world experience is the

For very young kids, no screen whatsoever. It’s the time they develop bonding with other humans. Best to let them play with physical toys or people. Resist baby einstein and other things like it for as long as you can

It was found that plants roots are in symbiosis with bacterias and fungus to get minerals from the ground. I think that like us with our microbiome, the plants have evolve with their microbiome in the soil. To grow them from a chemical mixt

Whoa, 20 years flashback. In some way, it seems we are almost at the same place. New ideas of decentralisation, freedom, sharing, global internet society. I wonder how it will end this time.

Every connector and moving part is a cost and failure point. There is a reason why everything is moving in the other direction. It’s going to be more expensive more bulky more flaky than the same components in a more integrated system.
