Cool to see this! I took one of the first-ever MAS.863 classes in 2001... looks like those archives are lost to time. Probably for the best. Keep in mind that prototyping is completely different from design-for-manufacturability (DFM), whic

Haha definitely do not do this, unless you have a million dollars to burn.

Technology Review is not "MIT", it's an attempt at competing with Wired and Popular Science.

We recently bought a 2022 Nissan Leaf (SL 62kWh) as a 2nd car and it's solid. (Primary family car is a Honda Odyssey.) The 2022 Leaf has 3x as much range as the 2015 Leaf I leased awhile back. Simpler design and better UI vs. Tesla, an

Wish I could. It makes me anxious and angry. But if I drink /exactly/ the right amount, it really helps with focus and motivation.

I think the most relevant portion of the article is: "There was one person who emerged handsomely from the Beanie Baby bubble: Ty Warner. Aside from getting caught secretly hoarding $107m of his Beanie Baby riches in an offshore Swiss

That's funny, because Fall desperately needed an editor. I barely managed to finish it. The "real life" plot lines were mostly enjoyable, the "virtual world" stuff was just interminably tedious

There are plenty of Trump voters around here, they tend to have big TRUMP signs and American flags in their front yards so they're not hard to spot. From my perspective, Trump acted as the human incarnation of rage and impatience for a

I live in a dense, walkable Boston suburb that is served by the MBTA commuter rail. But it's also full of "Masshole" drivers and adjacent to a couple of high-traffic major highways. I've observed a sharp increase in impa

LOL, talk to some people who are currently in their 20s here in 2022. "Hope for the future" is not how I would describe their discourse.

I hate hate HATE this style of web site design. Great content but why does it all have to be scrollbar-triggered-dynamic? It never works right for me. It's completely unusable on mobile and incredibly tedious on desktop.

As others have said, it has improved a lot. I started cycling in Boston/Cambridge in 1997 and they've put a ton of work into infra since then. However I now live in a northerly suburb and the inattentive drivers combine with a nea

Ignorant question: are solid-fueled rockets at all interesting, anymore? Do they have any advantages (e.g. simplicity of design) over the fancy throttle-able liquid-fueled engines?

Yeah this is why small businesses have all ended up on Facebook and, to a lesser extent, Squarespace. Big players providing a consistent service with a simple interface is going to win every time.

My mistake, the requirement is currently 10 days, not 2 weeks. But it's up to the school district, things don't change overnight just because the CDC changed their recommendations.
