I understand the author's animosity towards Musk, who is doing Tesla no favors. But to your point: "The 11,000 pounds towing capacity is about what was expected, as is the pedestrian-crushing 2.6 second 0-60 time on higher trims.&

FWIW, I was on the 3rd strike - after a few of the "Ad blockers aren't allowed" dialogs, I started getting an explicit "you have 3 more videos" countdown. I deleted all of my youtube.com cookies and I don't eve

I feel like teenage me might have answered most of these, with varying levels of honesty, but is any kid answering "What’s the best way for someone to lose their virginity?"? Yeah, don't ask that one.

No[*], but the monthly payments get more affordable. The principal doesn't change but if you're paying 3% on a mortgage and possibly getting a tax deduction on that interest so it might effectively be more like 2.5%, then you can

A lot has changed since 2018, especially related to remote work, which negates several of the points of this article related to local labor markets and lack of mobility at least for some white collar jobs. If you only read Hacker News you m

I was mostly riffing on the "Anchor Brewing Was San Francisco" title, but the boom and bust cycle of Anchor is quintessentially San Francisco. But it goes further, including a disastrous rebranding that is probably familiar to man

Ironically, Anchor Brewing was: * Originally built up by Germans * Run into the ground by San Franciscans * Rescued and reinvigorated by an Iowan * Run into the ground by Japanese which actually is a perfect SF story.

The sense of stuffiness can be due to humidity, mold, or probably just various household smells. If your sensors are able to do remote logging, you can do your own double blind test and cover up the displays for a week and log what you feel

This is solved by extending the constant time calculation principle to the CPU instruction level. Easier said than done, but probably only really necessary on HSMs or smart cards. On a side note, the Computerphile[0] YouTube channel has an

I have built CO2 monitors using MH-Z19B, Senseair S8 (same detector used in the AirGradient kits), and the SDC41 modules and my favorite is the S8. It seems equally accurate to the SDC41 and is easier to keep calibrated. It also has a pin t

They do a similar thing for their launch webcasts - they barely show or talk about the rocket and focus mostly on the pan-European cooperation aspects. It might be a cultural thing but they also know who is paying their bills. Always. Show.
