> Every car can go from a standstill to accelerating in a split second Going from a standstill to accelerating at say 3 m/s² is very different in a normal ICE car vs. an EV. It's anecdotal, but you must have noticed this if you

I know it is the third derivative specifically because a rapid _change_ in acceleration easily puts you off-balance. A change in acceleration effects a change in the forces acting on you (F=ma). When those changes happen slowly, it's e

Jerk (how fast acceleration changes) is useful. I've found being a passenger in newer electric buses to pose more challenges than ICE buses because EVs can change their acceleration so rapidly. While their maximum acceleration isn&#x27

I doubt your physical keyboard's connection to the motherboard is encrypted (I'd guess USB, I2C or maybe even PS/2 internally). I would also not be surprised if you can get small in-line sniffers that an attacker, with physic

It's also called false advertising. Not all responsibility lies with the consumer.

Can you fault them when that's what NordVPN and others claim in their YouTube ads? Tom Scott said it better than I could: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVDQEoe6ZWY

Great read, I loved following your thought process as you kept digging. At what point did you inform Cox about your findings? It doesn't sound like you were ever given the green light to poke at their management platform. Isn't wo

That's because comments are indented with an invisible gif ( https://news.ycombinator.com/s.gif ), not with CSS. Maybe you could add a custom stylesheet to Lynx to make the indent work? Some prior art: https:/&#x2F

I'm not a doctor/chemist, but as far as I understand, the polymerization of urushiol renders it hard and inert. Your thread discusses contact with raw urushiol as found in poison ivy, cashew sap (and apparently mangos) which is in

Thank you for the kind words! I've not even scratched the surface of kintsugi of course, but the little I've learned agrees very much with what you say. It's a true test of patience. Are you entirely self-taught then, or did

Would like to see the schematic and layout of the frontend board and a discussion on different design choices and tradeoffs. I designed something similar years ago (for Electrooculography, but it's the same principle) and getting a cle

TFA specifies "more than 1,500 billion". That's more than a _trillion_, not "billions"! Why the reluctance to use the proper number?

Do you blog? I'd love to read more, and I really enjoy your writing style.

Some white LEDs are actually near-UV LEDs coated with a phosphor layer to emit visible wavelengths. Could be GP got LEDs with poor coating allowing UV through?

Timekeeping leading up to the marine chronometer is also very interesting. Note that none of the timekeeping devices mentioned in the article would work very well at sea, making it impossible to accurately determine your longitude. Solving

I was able to reproduce the segfault in a project with millions of files. It spat out a JSON blob saying something about Could not start watcher on parent directory: Error { kind: MaxFilesWatch, paths: <my path> It works well

I get those too, but the Zed window is still open and I'm able to edit a file just fine. I'm on Fedora 38 FWIW.

In addition to the other replies, n=3 is also the point at which the system becomes chaotic. AFAIK only a handful stable configurations for three bodies in orbit are known; most initial conditions are difficult (impossible?) to solve for an

I can conjure up a voice in my head and make it say anything I want, such as "I like this picture", but it's a contrived and unnatural thing for me to do. It takes effort and "takes over" my whole brain. If a pictur
