That thing you linked to is not a bike, it's a motorcycle. It should be licensed, taxed and insured like one.

Afaik almost all ebikes do not have regen. If it's a hub motor it's often geared with a one way bearing, and if it's mid drive (getting more popular) then you cant have regen as the chain is not back-drivable. The efficiency

I believe there is math for this very question. A similar principle applies with heatsinks. You cant just continue increasing the heatsink on a CPU, the outer edge of a large heatsink won't go above ambient and thus any heatsink bigger

Regarding 1, I honestly don't think this comment is valid, and I believe the current generation should not rest on this particular laurel too much. A lot of things have changed in the past 56.25 years. New people, new technology, hell

What's the purpose of summiting Everest if it's been done already? What's the purpose of summiting again if you personally have already done so before? We don't do these things only to be the first to do it, we do them b

An alien race arriving at our shores cannot be anything but disastrous for us, IMO. Why go through the massive expense to come all the way here if the intention is something that is not conquering or total dominion over us? We did this t

99% is not good enough. Not even close. Are you saying that for every ~1.5h of driving there is a minute where the car could go full an hero on you?

When you buy a really nice power tool or hand tool, it's going to last you a very long time. It will remain fit-for-purpose for decades to come. The cost can often be justified because it's an investment in emotional happiness. It

I did not even have a raid, I was too cheap to allocate drives to parity. So I had two of these and a couple of other drives in a JBOD array fused together into a logical filesystem using something I can't remember now. Maybe my approa

The hard part is convincing investors that it's a good idea, so that they can drown you in gold. Or maybe that's the easy bit. I don't know. The reason for failure here is lack of a killer app. Everyone is excited, then when

You cant conveniently ignore the cost of model development and training. This is like saying solar power is free if you ignore the equipment and installation costs. Even worse still, model creators are in an arms race. They can't relea

You are being downvoted and the replies so far aren't helping you understand why your statement is very wrong. "Steer by wire" means there is nothing but copper signal wires between your steering wheel and the front wheels. Y

If the political will is there, anything is possible, rules, regulations and laws be damned. NASA put a human on the moon in less than 10 years in the 60s, and today it's taken then a little longer than 10 years to get a single unmanne

Thanks, I tried to look exactly this up, but couldn't find anything. Looking at that video, the only thing I could think of though was that cable, presumably detaching shortly after the video ended, and the cameraman is just standing t

The nice thing is that it's _very_ easy to get to a lifting weight that's considered super heavy in normie reckoning, but a warmup weight for folks that lift regularly. In other words, you can get to squatting 50kg/100lb (one

Can you please ELI5 winched gliding to me? Is a glider basically joinked into the air by a large and fast winch, and then detached and the glider glides on it's own "power" back to the landing? Or is the winch at the destinat

So initially I wanted to give you a knee-jerk response about how Synology could have gone with a warning rather than an outright ban. Then I read the article... It seems that this was never an outright ban, but non-blessed drives either gen

If these jobs you describe had higher pay rates, then all those bottlenecks you describe will magically go away. I reckon the San Francisco PD salaries are not really all that "fantastic".
