They did not mention whether it damages human skin. If it rips viruses apart how do skin cells fare? The way that researcher is gingerly holding the material with forceps without touching it does not inspire confidence. Furthermore i know t

I would like to remind HN that hoarding is a serious and well established mental disorder and that we should not encourage this poor soul that has fallen victim to a real estate version of this disease. It is unusual that someone should hoa

Roofs just do not last that long in florida. Hurricanes and floods are getting worse because of global warming, so they last even less. And yes an older roof is more susceptible to leaking, damage, etc.

This is not due to price controls. California does not have much price controls on insurance, and I doubt there are any on commercial apartment buildings. This is climate change.

Absolutely right. I had to change brake pads on my electric car at about 120 k miles. My previous gasoline cars usually had their brake pads last about the advertised 30K miles. Some people are complaining that the rear brake rotors of thei

You have a citation for 2022 which is right before use of AI exploded and NVIDIA started selling AI machines like hotcakes. I expect energy use to be much larger this year.

That is the least of it. We also radically changed the climate without really seriously trying to change our lives and our methods of growing food to reflect the new climate.

And why do you think they cannot get convictions? If they get video evidence of someone damaging a train car and get that person in custody they will get an easy conviction. Train companies do have police forces but since the advent of &quo

Ordinary corruption. Administrators at universities are paid decent but not very high salaries and yet the university itself is often a very powerful institution. So administrators are always looking to use the power and influence of the un

I am going to say something that will earn me a lot of downgrades, but it needs to be said because it is the truth and it is important. Grifting in our society went sky high when Trump started doing it and he was not punished for it but rew

It looks to me like HN has been in a massive censorship mode in order to remove ongoing stories about the Bitcoin ETF, the SEC and the Twitter/X hack of the SEC's account. That story was on the top by far yesterday and then it sus

I think the counterfeiters simply assumed incorrectly that the Peruvian mint makes new coins on an annual basis. They did not put in the year of the coin they were copying because their coins would be brand new and shiny and it would be sus

I am glad they went to 800V. The acceleration stat race is getting a bit stupid. But I think 800V is very important, at least for charging. It will not only let you charge fast it will let other people use the charger after you are done. I

This is a great opportunity for an aftermarket business. New LFP battery cells are plummeting in costs. LFP cells are also very reliable. Other than the battery, electric cars are very durable. Some electric car models (i.e., older Tesla Mo

The problem is that there isn't much union solidarity across countries and companies have completely different labor relations in different countries. As an example, all Japanese automakers that start factories in the US start them in

Do not buy this! It is a three wheeler that take advantage of the motorcycle loophole in the US. In other words it is registered as a motorcycle and does not have to have any of the safety features of a car and yet it is far heavier than a

I see $200 evse’s on amazon nowadays. Only 32 amps tho. As to why they are so expensive one has to keep in mind these are inherently dangerous so they do not buy the cheapest parts, they have to go through a longish federal approval process

I am willing to bet it runs the unifi software on an arm chip. Which is kind of funny considering they dropped official support for arm on third party devices.

Fiber cable can actually be a very good sensor. Some light gets reflected back from the most minute bends of the cable. By sensing reflections and comparing them with previous reflections you can see whether the cable has experienced any ne

Despite the optimistic tone this is rather depressing reading. This is the beginning of the industrial farming trend that has made all meat products rather tasteless.

AI is not a human it does not have the rights of a human and it is perfectly ok to tell it what to think. The only problem with telling AI what to think is that it does not think as such.

This is very good news. Now I would like to see western car manufacturers lower prices of EVs in unison. Remember how in the 90s the intel pc completely overwhelmed and completely destroyed several layers of computing competitors. Intel and
