Induction compatible cookware doesn't have a heating coil. They just need ferrous metal in them. They can be clad in aluminum, with a ferrous core etc. A cast iron pan works fine, and most stainless steel cookware is fine. It's ju

My guess is that the fan spin-up/speed was based on the CPU temperature or the case temp, not necessarily the GPU temp. The GPU had its own puny fan, but I don't know if GPU temp was even the core issue, though likely.

Yeah, but the Mac Pro was designed around huge fans. I think there were two huge 120mm fans in the front blowing through it.

I remember playing WoW on my brand new Mac Pro (circa 2005) and a month later the GPU was burned out. Replaced the GPU under warranty, a month later it burned out again. Replaced it a third time (with a lot of side eye from the Genius Bar),

Fedex also uses contractors to deliver parcels. A friend and her husband run a small biz that does nothing but Fedex deliveries in the Midwest.

I think my AC (even though new) is the biggest user, though the dryer is probably second.

I pay around ¢10/kWh (including all my connection fees plus the stupid surcharge from last years Texas debacle).

We're a family of four in the Midwest (US), and we average about 40 kwh/day. Roughly 14,000kwh annually. The only gas stuff we have is our hot water heater and furnace. Our A/C gets a work out in the summer when it is pretty

Obviously I left out that the bad apple came from his recommendation. That's where trusting the judgement of a great employee can have blind spots.

Loyalty, like love, can be blind. One of the best SREs I work with, is just a stellar performer. Over delivers, solves complex problems quickly and with well thought out and reliable solutions. We needed another SRE, so we hired his best fr

I'm not sure about the 10x part. On my team I have roughly 15 coworkers. Two are pretty useless, or at least perform at a level dramatically lower than the other 13. So how do we deal with it? Like the Internet, we route around them. S

Your first sentence ignores what you say in the second. In the US, poor people pay a significant portion of their income in sales tax which is regressive.

Swords and breastplate weigh far more than a "few pounds." Breastplate is close to 20lbs, a two-handed sword up to 10lbs. And that's just a small amount of the armor a knight would have (ignoring the fact that most warriors o

Sorry for your loss. I too lost my dad to lung cancer three years ago. He died right after Thanksgiving at 87 also. My stepdad died in December, so the holidays kind of suck for me. Hope you find peace.

You do realize that there are literally thousands of weigh stations in the US that would need to be upgraded? They're run individually by the states, who will have minimal incentive to cooperate.

It wasn't a matter of transitioning to new technology, it was a lethargic, dimwitted corporate mindset that they would never face real competition. Not only did Japanese cars offer smaller, more fuel efficient cars, but their quality w

If you want to be a franchisee, the easiest way (other than having $3-$10m lying around) is working for McDonalds, taking AOC at Hamburger U, and then joining their franchise program where they "lease" you everything for a larger

Trailers really wouldn't be the ideal place for a battery since they're often dropped off at a site. And that would also take up space in the trailer, adding weight as well. Two batteries would make the entire deal heavy and expen

Do you really know though? McDonalds has lied in the past quite a bit. For example, they touted their hamburger meat as 100% beef with no additives for quite awhile, then had to fess up when the truth about Pink Slime came out. Then when th

Battery swaps make no sense for trucking (and never really did for cars). The storage required for batteries would be prohibitive, and the charging location would have to keep a decent number of expensive batteries on hand.

I think you sorely underestimate how much emphasis large trucking firms put into route optimization.

Do you mean the trucking companies or the software developers? The trucking companies aren't small companies by any measure. Werner Enterprises for example has 13k employees, 8k trucks, and $700M in revenue. And they're a small fr
