The Slack client is a mind boggling exercise in excess. It often requires 500MB+ RAM when I am connected to two different Slack "networks" and it's an IRC client!? Honestly with so much money and theoretical engineering tal

If you really want to save money on household type items, go shopping in the 'market' area at your local IKEA store. Compare that with Amazon prices for pretty much everything and you'll be blown away by how cheap IKEA is.

The value created by access to a car they can afford will advance both India and the world to the next level of health, abundance, and technology. Just as the car and the ICE advanced so many other places of the world from the horse cart.

They mention at the end of the article they are working on larger scale water processing systems which would recover and reuse the particles. I think this is critical not only for efficiency but also health and safety. I'd rather not

This suggests engines are 50% more efficient today than in 1960, with 80% reductions in fuel per passenger seat. [1] If advanced physical simulations could produce a wing 20% more efficient than the concorde, with engines 20% more efficient

I imagine there are two factors at play here: 1. Since digging takes time, you really only need the permits where you are actually digging. So if you start on a piece of land you largely control, or can quickly get permits for, you could t

I always found the Delta arrangement very interesting. The refinery took a $10 million loss which saved DL $100 million. [1] But it also saved rivals money. When they make cheaper jet fuel it doesn't just go to Delta. They have to

This is huge news to me. Standardized microsecond level wireless time sync available on cheap commodity hardware. We could've used this at the startup I was at 4 years ago. I see lots of uses in the AR space, along with device track

While I agree the tone of the article is a paid ad, the reason you can't compare it to a model 3 is because the model 3 doesn't exist yet. Comparing it to a Model S is ok in the sense that you _can_ compare a Cessna 172 to a Lear

I love walking and would do it more often, but how have you kept up the health of your knees? If I walk (like walking from A > B in one go) more than about 2 hours a day by the 3rd or 4th day my knees start to feel it.
