I got my honda partially because it has the closest thing to nissan's e-power (in many ways the same, but with a couple twists). At low speeds (< 45 mph) it's either off the battery the whole time, or the motor runs and directs

At this point it borders on cliche, but he broke at least like 4 of Matt Levine's (Not Legal Advice) Insider Trading Laws: - Don't do it - Don't do it by buying short-dated out-of-the-money call options on merger targets. - D

In the average case it's a fair assumption the dividend is going to be qualified, and the owner is going to meet the 60/120 holding period, which effective means it will be taxed at cap gains rates. If not that's kinda their

It's not really weasel language, the potential taxable events are limited to the people who are selling their shares back to the company instead of every shareholder. The potentially taxable dollars are the same (non-withstanding the b

I would argue in a global sense its more tax-efficient that tax-advantaged (which is admittedly pedantic). The main idea people need to remember is that if a company buys back its stock, someone else is selling it. For equality sake, assume

It's always wild that Season 2 seems to be polarizing, it is very different but it's so compelling. Tragedy is really probably the most complete way to describe it. But yeah the short scenes of "that's my f*ing town&quot

I kind of empathize where they are coming from, my electronics version of "this meeting could have been an email" is "this fpga could have been an arduino". I feel like we're constantly spoiled by the clock speed of

For a given jazz standard, if the renditions exist, chances are my favorite one is either Bill Evans or Oscar Peterson on piano. He's like if Chopin learned jazz. My potentially hot take is Blue in Green is Coltrane's best solo on

Yeah most of what I do is in SLS, I don't really know what the nuances to how the sintered metal powder ones behave vs polyamide etc. One of the bits SLS can struggle with is long plane or ribbon-like objects. And then as you get thin

At first with the kerning on my screen I was wondering why MIT had an Australian TLD. They seem most interested in the thin band running through the lattice, my curiosity is how well can the 3D printer make that consistently? I would assume

I mean is it just like, interest rates? Even if they have cash on hand, I'm assuming any big moves they would make are still really capital intensive because it's the auto industry. By stuff Tesla and Musk have said, they are ex

I'll admit I live under a rock so I've honestly never heard the term stroad. Looked at images and was like "ah, okay, right. Where I live..."

Oh, okay, I see, in that alternative system, the tiles still move, but your shoe with transducers is used to adjust the friction.

by gimmeThaBeet 3y ago
That's pretty gnarly. So the discs are basically doing little inchworming steps back and forth but never has to break contact by modulating the friction? Very much a bit of cleverness turned magic. The one thing that I notice is item 7

Yeah the 'force' movement was really cool. Maybe this is the other way you could do the Jamiroquai video for Virtual Insanuty? I've never really used VR stuff but I wonder what does it feel like in your head when your legs mo

Also as was seen in France this summer for instance, one of the interesting edge cases of water cooled reactors (really any generation that needs a lot of water) is that they can get basically thermally throttled e.g. the inlet water is too

My question is always how much are the real effective costs monthly/annually? The numbers always seem wild and are frequently quoted in thousands annually, so when you read things like: > “The amount of profit that they might be g

I recall seeing stuff about this in California, but I think that was more about people polishing the big slabs, this seems more about masons installing them? But really terrible stuff, I know that's who the article focuses on, but it&#

I agree, it's kind of a different class of threat for everyday people. Not assuming it would be the same, but picturing a spill at a gas station. Spilling gas is a problem, but at least it's just sort of there . If you get an a

Nah, I know, the iron is in WA, iirc the main coal mines are in Queensland and some in NSW. The main point was the comment that coal isn't BHP's business, when they've gotta be the largest coal miner in Australia.

by gimmeThaBeet 3y ago
Uhhh, BHP is like one of the largest coal miners on the planet. Though, it's just one of their operating units (mainly iron and copper).

I don't have any intrinsic issue with the energy export comment, just curious on the "how?" of it since Texas is a little over 40% of U.S. crude oil production. Is it just that the spread of production minus consumption of oi

Now I don't speak dutch, but in a context like that that seems fairly reasonable I guess as long as everyone's cool with it? With a caveat of 'if they don't hire anyone in those roles over 15, to me, that would kind of i

They probably didn't snd still don't. If JPM buying Bear Sterns is any metric, I would be worried that the government would 'ask' me to rescue another bank, and then take me to court over it for the next decade. It'

I was seeing that, I was a bit surprised that it seemed like the actual branded product. My habit is to figure out who makes that kind of stuff, when I saw Osem, I was thinking "how haven't they been acquired by some behemoth?&qu

My understanding was that long-term fixed rate mortgages were not common at all outside of the US and like France. This is from 2010 but has some good charts. https://business.sdsu.edu/_resources/files/real-estate&

I dunno, it's a bit fuzzy, I don't recall general layout issues when it came to rad stuff. If you are in an environment where you are that worried about an upset, you're likely using a rad tolerant fpga. Parent comment men

I remember Linus videos with the pocket operators, somehow didn't internalize that he worked for teenage engineering, and in retrospect it feels like the most plainly obvious thing in the world. Of course he does.

I read it to be a syringe or an iv drip. It definitely feels like disparate levels of administering, but going around this studio with an iv seems really inconvenient. > Later, just before taping, Joe goes over and gets his own jab of
