   Also, you don't see the first draft, you see the final edit. For me, this means that it's OK to try stuff. For a long time I got mad at myself for taking half a day to change two lines of code. Of course to get to those two lines

   Just like the "water carburetor" and other miracles that never materialized, the problem is that the alternative is cheaper and simpler (which means cheaper). It doesn't sound expensive to add water injection to an internal c

   If you wanted to burn plastic for energy, you can already do it at a electrical generation plant. You have to put more energy in to get oil out. Um. And climate change.

   I've previously worked around automation in an automotive assembly plant, and the thing that stuck out to me was the grinding being done in a robot cell. Grinding aggregate is very destructive of precision machinery (which is ironic wh

   I wonder if Air Traffic Controller is a misnomer of the same type as "Autopilot". It's a true enough description, but it gives the wrong impression to inexperienced persons. Pilots are always responsible for flying their airc

   The Great Salt Lake sits in a big bowl, so it normally wouldn't get very far, geologically speaking. It would affect millions of people though.

   I highly recommend this book! It's very very cool to see the insides of these components and to think about how physical processes are used to create components that can meet engineering specifications and tolerances.

   Everyone tests in production. Some people also test before production! Some people try to NOT test in production, but everyone does test in prod in a very real sense because dependencies and environments are different in prod. I think the q

    Gas clothes dryers are probably the only other one that people have a strong preference for. And yes, I think that is the intention.

    > There's no good reason I can think of to keep using gas stoves. Tortillas and marshmallows. Not enough of a reason to keep a gas stove really, but it's traditional to some people.

    Natural gas leaks are responsible for way more greenhouse gas effects than stove CO2. That is, it's not the stoves, it's the transmission infrastructure.

    Is there a name for believing in something enough to make it work, but not so much that you really believe it will solve your problems? Like Agile Software Development - you can make it work, but it won't solve your problems. You still

    I don't know you or where you are coming from, but it seems like you want people to take personal responsibility. That's fine. People do need to take personal responsibility. The answer can be more than that. When I was younger, I

    And you know what they feel inside their bodies? Something can be true, satisfying, and incomplete. Why do they eat too much? Because of moral failing? Or because a system designed to maintain energy balance in only one direction is incompl

    This analysis lacks proper understanding of the role that hunger and food drive plays. Imagine that you are at the beach, and you can choose how deep you want to wade or how far you want to swim. If you like the water and the sun and the wa

    Hunger is like a one way valve - you can gain weight and your body will not stop you, but as soon as you start to incur caloric deficit, your body will turn on lots of alarm bells. Hunger is also impossible to compare, as it is an internal
