   People are trying, Tesla is investing HEAVILY into battery technology and research. CPUs 30 years ago were 8 bits and barely scratching 10s of mhz, we arrived at our modern era through incremental improvements, not by saying "we need t

   I have engineered bamboo "wood" flooring that I like a lot and after a few years haven't noticed any cracking or warping; perhaps it went through more extensive treatment processes?

   I miss when laptops had trackballs. It was the only time in history when I preferred the pointing device on laptops to a standard mouse! (back in the 90s I used to use trackballs on my desktops)

    Yeah, the English are the only ones who are afraid of nationalism... I think you might be forgetting about at least one other country.

    Wow, that works surprisingly well. I drew a terrible cat face, and it managed to get it dead on.

    I'd personally prefer links to GitHub projects go to their main page rather than the Readme.md since the main page has the Readme.md displayed anyways.

    I agree that the book is much better than the movie, but I don't think the movie was terrible. I'd argue the movie was "dumbed down" to reach a wider range of ages. I liked the movie when I was 5, I liked the book when

    Wipr on Safari is great, it's super lightweight, probably the fastest ad-blocking experience on any platform. My only complaint is a lack of configurability, it doesn't seem to have any way to whitelist things etc.

    I wonder if they're using some kind of EDFA or other amplifier for that delay spool. For 350µsec we're talking at least 14.3dB of loss going through that thing, in other words, only 3.7% of the signal is coming out the end in the
