IIRC it’s related to the nearby mountains. Fly up, pushed towards mountains, go lower, pushed back towards the river/valley were launched. I feel for other people who didn’t get to grow up seeing those balloons every year on their way

Is it usually a value-add or how often does the push for intellectual rigor slide to something else? Had a notoriously argumentative coworker from nearby SJ in SF. He’d always swear he was just asking questions or wanted to know why “they c

Logic goes back. Could have stuff from Babbage, too. I definitely feel SJ would appreciate an old school style math proof exposition even perhaps between mathematicians. (Forgetting any specifics as it’s been way too long.) Notably, NM does

One big difference between the US and other countries: The US doesn’t look at counterculture as a fundamental threat or challenge to the government. The US citizens actually have freedom. The constitution went so far as to identify the sove

Just because it’s not perfect doesn’t mean it’s not good or can’t be productive. But I have to also think of all the ways prohibitions have failed. Possibly, trying to find ways to make government officials less susceptible to outside influ

If it’s not clearly written out as a promise then it can be different. They called this a surprise so they didn’t expect it. Businesses are in the profit maximization at reducing all costs phase as a general rule right now. Gone are the day

I don’t see ECC mentioned in any actual specs linked/listed (could have missed it). Hope this isn’t taken out after this first run.

It’s sugar that actually gives energy. I’ve done a personal test with road trips in the past. Sugar will actually keep me going and alert for the trip. Caffeine not so much.

Couldn't a bi-directional link still be written into HTML? Like any other tag, it could simply go unused while being available so nobody feels obligated.

Yes they need to make a four wheel option that doesn’t look like a great way to die in any accident for those of us surrounded by F150s and larger.

Marginal cost is the derivative of the cost function. Fixed costs drop out of the derivative. You’re confusing amortizing a fixed cost with marginal cost.

I’m not entirely in agreement with the analysis here but they do make some good points and provide useful context. If influencing the economy through interest rates (as the Fed does) is a long latency process then they can move the interes

Raising a kid for over a decade before they’re biologically mature is actually pretty long term. Granted, they were probably able to contribute to a hunt before puberty so maybe my points not so sharp. But humans are clearly tasked with sur

They probably all golf together. They don’t need an algorithm. Though realistically, they have software to find a guest a room at any other hotel. This can become required if they overbook (they overbook as a rule, kind of like ISPs) and ha

Yes and in that context it’s surprising it’s not higher. More interesting would be the conditions of those without a cell phone. And probably error bars matter here more than usual. Like is this statistically different than 100%,99.9%,etc?

The replies your comment got are very very illustrative of HN. Not much actual advice but plenty of gut responses masquerading as advice. At one point in my life most/all of my socialization stemmed from going to garage and estate sale

Is HiiT really a good idea for people with increasing levels of being out of shape? That sounds like a recipe for doing way too much way too fast and getting injured.
