Yes, or maybe more accurately - we are the American equivalent of Formula SAE Germany. The German teams are significantly more advanced and better funded, with some of the teams running custom built electric inhub motors (something that&#x2

This is not an accurate take. It does not require some great expertise to identify edible mushrooms, and in cultures where mushroom consumption has been common for hundreds of years (such as Russia), basic identification techniques are well

From what I understand, one of the big bird issues with turbines is that birds of prey like hawks, eagles, and falcons don't generally look forward but down as they scout for prey, and thus are likely to fly into turbine blades. I beli

The aero packages for these vehicles create a pretty significant amount of downforce at relatively low speeds - for example, our car last season produced ~140 lbs of downforce at 35 mph. Edit - A lot of that comes from the rear wing though,

Yes, this car uses powered ground effects (PGE) to achieve the necessary downforce at low speeds (they mention this in an instagram post) In Formula SAE in the US, PGE systems are not allowed, but in the European equivalent they are. Take a

Although the other comments are correct about the 30mph optimization for the aero package, this car uses active underbody aero (aka, fans) to create additional downforce even when at a standstill. See the recent runs of the Speirling at Goo

I learned that the two of them were housemates for a period of time while taking a mycology class from Alan - can you imagine being a fly on the wall in that place? What a colorful group.

I have to say I think it's quite possible and comical that the professor interpreted your work on two of the three questions as additional evidence that you did know it should be an "and", since I would guess relatively few s

Did you know that hemp was not used in Dr. Bronners soaps until the 90s? I think it's well know that Emmanuel Bronner suffered from some mental illnesses - the man lost his family to the holocaust and was sent to a mental asylum upon a

Everybody has different needs, so I can respect that it's not a perfect soap for all people. That being said - are you diluting it or using it straight? I usually dilute 4 parts water to 1 part soap for handwashing / showering. Al

Could you clarify by what you mean as "it wasn't very nice"? I've been using bronners for a decade and have recommended it to more people than I could count. I've never had anyone tell me they downright disliked the

I'd imagine you aren't the only person who may be having a hard time adjusting from a remote freshman year to an in person sophomore year! Outlook is a big part of these things, and sometimes optimism is a great tool even when it

One thing I'd add to the advice given already is to get out and socialize sooner rather than later in your degree. When you are a freshman, everyone is in the same boat as you, trying to piece together a new group of friends. It can se

I am not 100% on HN policies regarding flagging / renaming threads, but I do see articles get renamed on a fairly regular basis without getting flagged into dead status first? Is there not a mechanism to suggest a different title witho

"The point of the polices was to counter the incredibly destructive result of the surge of cocaine, crack, heroin use in the mid 1970s and early to mid 1980s." This would be plausible if the policies were focused on those drugs ex

Not directly related to the article, but - I am extremely disappointed that this article was flagged. It certainly displays the general inability for people to openly analyze ideas and narratives that (at first glance) appear to go against

While this is true, it overlooks the selection pressures that exist on nucleotide selection. If I recall correctly, the canonical bases are relatively robust to radiation in the ir, visible, and uv spectrums when compared to other nucleotid

Well, yes and no. If they just wanted to heat things up, they'd throw the reaction over a Bunsen burner or some other appropriate heating element. So while I agree that the reactions are speeding up due to an increase in available ener

During my rather short stint in a synthetic chemistry lab in college, I learned that it was a relatively standard practice for folks to "nuke" their reactions in a microwave in an attempt to speed things up. Certainly, nobody want

Isn't DMT biosynthesized endogenously in most mammals? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31249368/ I think it would be fascinating to know more about the anabolic/metabolic pathways that create these molecule

Could you elaborate on what you mean by "compromised"? Sure, they can no longer be stacked 7 units high, but I am skeptical that cutting out a handful of windows and a door is going to make a container structurally unsound for the

Maybe it's just me, maybe it's just a snapchat "feature", but one of the first things that struck me was the idea that this young woman sent the rant out to something like 250 people, of which a nonneglible portion was

While I entirely agree with the sentiment of this post, I often find myself wondering - how does one effectively combat this attitude without making a full circle? How is anything to be established in society without some sort of "migh

Not a physicist, so maybe I took the wrong gist away from the article, but - it seems like what they are saying is that systems that are generally modeled by complex equations have always had real valued equivalents that were known. So it&#

I used Google Glass in person for about 10 minutes, and after so much oh-ing and awing over the tech, for me it was pretty disappointing to experience. It felt like I was using a cheap Android system from 2012 overlayed onto reality and, uh

An alternative (or additional) solution that I have considered is making it easy for a user to provide keys to others to allow access to content. You could use some combination of the two sets of controls to provide pretty granular privacy

Curious as to what others here think about the idea that the Tic Tac UFO could be some sort of high energy particle beam being controlled from the ground? My mom unfortunately passed from cancer, but she was able to get proton beam therapy
