Motorcycles have also not kept up with the times on engine technology. They only began switching away from carburetors around 2005. Drag your feet on technological advancement, and your year-to-year product consequently changes less. Suspen

I don't know about 0.3 micron, but all the different sizes tend to come together. Presence of PM2.5 implies PM0.3 I've got a foobot, I like it. It was benchmarked by some gov't agencies and found to track pretty well.

The succession goes grassland, scrubland, forest. The grass is indeed more flammable, but the fires are much less intense. Dry cheatgrass, for example, flares up with incredible enthusiasm, but burns to ash in literally seconds.

Wouldn't that just be anti-globalist?

Yes, but there's probably less loss & spoilage in the supply chain for canned/frozen/dried/etc.

This is the awful irony of a lot of these farm robots. Like the pollination robots, for example. Maybe I'm just being shortsighted, but it seems like we already have pollination robots, called bees. Native bees don't even require

People don't like walking on cold floors in winter, so carpets get tried in all kinds of places they don't belong.

It's energy efficiency, but also old buildings. They weren't designed with insulation & sealing in mind, and as a result can actually depend on leaking lots of heat to control condensation, mold & mildew. Seal them up and

This comes across like the people who say, show me incontrovertible proof God does not exist and I will happily become an atheist. Knowing, of course, it cannot be proven. If you are actually of open mind, there are some natural experiments

But no matter how severe, or far-reaching an epidemic may be, Olivarius says, "Human beings are very comfortable at saying, 'It's not happening in my backyard, therefore it's not affecting me.'" I feel like t

There are many other varieties of currant, many native and thus easy to grow.

Buying produce regularly, I've been learning exactly this. It's a mindset shift- we're trained that anything can be had any time of year. But the quality difference between in season and out of season is staggering. Except, p

Why do we need to know the market value of visiting public land?

You play to the strengths of the part and the interests of the target market. People willing to pay the price premium for ThreadRipper are interested in throughput, not latency.

It doesn't even necessarily have to be a matter of preference- in general, throughout life you'll most likely meet more people of your own socioeconomic group, and less people of other groups. From there, simple probability predic

Worth noting in many cases the fee applies only to entering by vehicle, not bike or foot, and indeed many of the fees go towards accommodations for vehicles- roads, parking lots, traffic management, etc.

I would think it's tough to recapture significant marketshare & performance parity in two markets at the same time. Hopefully as revenue in CPU's increases, some of that can then be invested in R&D on GPU's.

I know there are scenarios where rentals do get improved. But insulation, efficiency & comfort is really hard to value, and so I've not really seen it happen. This is specifically called out by government & eco groups as a majo

Of course there's the problem of being unable to improve a rental- the landlord doesn't reap any reward and the renter doesn't have a stake to be willing to invest- so rental stock tends to be uninsulated, uncomfortable, poor

Thinking just of recognizable animals, typical cities have, what, rats, cats, starlings, house sparrows, rock doves, gulls, and not terribly much more. We can do better, but in general cities are not biodiversity hotspots.

At least currently, to me tourism would seem to be a distribution problem first. Ten thousand people visiting Paris is a much bigger impact than 2,500 spread across Paris, San Francisco, Venice, and Rome. Limits, such as a lottery, might dr

by ip26 8y ago
The elephant in the room, of course, is that tourism helps people think of themselves as part of something bigger. The National Parks, for example, help drive votes for conservation. If you've never set foot in nature, and you've

Yes, the existing one is underwhelming. But a plug in would take me anywhere in town on electric only, so imo it's a big difference.

You want an SUV ala Suburban, or Crossover ala RAV4? Supposedly Subaru will be bringing a plug in hybrid Crosstrek to market next year. If I wasn't too tall, only fitting in an Outback, that would be quite compelling IMO.

What about fat bikes? Haven't tried biking in ice much yet, but this winter I want to try.

People like comfort, and don't like to change their behavior. That is why. Same reason why nobody was interested in the original Insight (2 door, dorky, 70mpg), but the Prius (just like a regular hatch, 50mpg) sold like hotcakes
