That's exactly the Amazon scammer business model. They can have a new store with a new name in seconds and be back in business with none of that pesky customer service and other accountability.

Given how easy it seems to reproduce, someone had better explain this effect if it's not what is claimed there... PS: this looks like anyone could reproduce or refute it in their basement for a few hundred dollars given all the details

Gas is artificially cheap, but it's at enormous expense to the global community. The US spent $2T on the gulf wars to secure this, and globally spend at least $7T a year on fossil subsidies. This needs to end immediately. https:/

Some of us actively hate big cars for daily use and are angered at the "SUV" (usually neither sport nor utility) unithink forced on us, and are frustrated how hard it is to find anything different. I want basically an electric Mia

For archival purposes though, a proprietary codec on a proprietary app in a proprietary OS that could be gone in the next release is not a panacea. This demands a format that will be playable at highest quality in 50 or 100 years. Not an e

Yeah that's why I said at most, so assuming still air and perfect piloting. The worst case is lawn dart, 0 glide. 35000 ft x 20 ratio x 1/5280 mi/ft

In context of the paper, "high-speed gravitationally accelerated dive following fuel starvation", it bears mentioning the L/D ratio of a 777 is around 20. Which means if you lose power at 35,000 feet, you can have at most 132

Goodreads is Amazon so its ratings are suspect, like everything else on Amazon. It would make a ton of sense to have a third party rating and review site with some kind of dependable reputation for posters. You could still affiliate link to

If you're interested in other artifacts, you might also be interested in Fiestaware, some colors of which had U in the glaze until the mid forties. Here's one from my collection, moderately active. For comparison, background is ab

I don't understand the venom here. SpaceX bids on contracts, does the job, and goes home, no drama. Most recently, they split a bunch of contract wins with ULA.

NASA is to blame for their part as responsible steward of public funds. The agency has bent over backwards, to a fault, to hand a contractor a cherry deal, papered over quality issues, performed dubious acceptance testing, made them look g

Picked by a local expert. With regional variations, any book about wild mushrooms is bound to be partly wrong.

Not a lawyer but the "reasonable person" test seems relevant here? A reasonable person would think the EULA clickthrough on their set-top box to watch Disney+ might have some impact on consuming media and paying for it. But nobody

One thing to help with the passive observer would be to have the knock sequence be time varying like a TOTP. It's still a very thin addition but more defense in depth the better sometimes.

Only some of the market is end users. The rest is businesses looking to replace headcount and they don't care what users think.

They didn't mention LIGO data correlating or refuting this work. Is that because LIGO is at different frequencies from the PTA so it's not useful here?

How is this different from JS pulling in tens of thousands of dependencies to display a web page? In the 80s we envisioned modular, reusable software components you drop in like Lego bricks (we called it CASE then), and here we have it, suc

About as minimal as you can get with pids and command names: ps(){ (cd /proc;for i in [0-9]*;do echo $i: $(tr '\0' ' ' < $i/cmdline);done); }

A stopped vehicle is a few minutes to tow clear. But add fire.... At least twice in recent times, a gasoline tank truck crash has destroyed a bridge that took weeks to replace.

This might be difficult to quantify but it feels like Jalopnik has always had a negative editorial slant around EVs. I suspect this is all the legacy ad dollars at work. Does anyone else feel this?
