Even a torsen diff, or similar helical/gear type limited slip diffs are "torque multiplying", they need a load on one wheel in order to send the "multiplied" load to the wheel with traction. Modern stability/tr

There's a lot of blurring and different labeling of 4WD systems based on the market segment. Generally it's more helpful to think of 4WD/AWD as fitting into three categories: 1: A system with a transfer case that predominan

That's the only solution I can think of other than an outright ban. It could also coincide with the last gasps of the gasoline tax. It might still not be enough, however, and it would be highly regressive without some sort of heavy sca

There's somewhere around 60 million kids in the US alone. Picking them up and dropping them off from school, soccer practice, ukulele lessons, birthday parties, etc. is a large amount of time as a parent. Ask anyone with kids if they&#

Most errands involving cars primarily involve transporting people, who are usually more than capable of getting into cars by themselves. In fact, that's the whole point of Uber's business model. If I can send my car out without ha

If Uber is investing heavily in self-driving cars, there's a case to be made that Lyft represents a "purer" investment in ride-sharing without assuming the cost/risk of that massive expenditure. Uber is betting that they

He might be right, but it would require allowing cars to drive around on roads without anyone in them. Using a shared, limited resource in that way is such a prototypical "tragedy of the commons" that I can't see any governme

It should be easy to check if the results are more or less skewed for back, breast, and fly events, where most swimmers do not favor a particular side.

For large international meets they are assigned based on FINA's seeding rules: http://www.fina.org/content/sw-3-seeding-heats-semi-finals-a... Finals are seeded 4,5,3,6,2,7,1,8 fastest-to-slowest. Semifinals are c

That's certainly a good data point in the 'against' column, but it really only indicates that any current, if present, isn't likely to be caused by the normal circulation of water from filtration systems or similar. Ther

While I think there may yet be some sort of NLP/ML-based filtering that can improve the signal to noise ratio, the fundamental problem is that the effort is incredibly asymmetric. It takes an author far, far longer to craft their work

All of those things are exactly the conditions of a freezer, plus it's really cold. EVOO, and especially olio nuovo are not 100% oil, there's lots of bits of fruit in there that benefit from the lower temperatures.

Because I wondered if it would be better, so I tried it, and it is. It's an easy thing to A/B test, especially with twin-packs of fresh oil at Costco, give it a shot.

Try it, you'll like it. It's an incredibly easy thing to do, and it's noticeably better after 6 months or so. Also: you can't "kill" nutrients. The biggest risk to oil after light and heat, as I'm sure you

One thing that is not commonly mentioned is that olive oil freezes very well. I typically buy a large 5-liter tin can of olio nuovo in the fall from a known producer and then freeze all but one liter of it in mason jars, unfreezing througho

Also interesting is which compression algorithm you're using. HPACK Header compression in HTTP 2.0 is an attempt to mitigate this problem: https://http2.github.io/http2-spec/compression.html#Security

It's a bit hard to have a reasonable discussion about this without knowing the features of what it's being replaced with . Lightning connector, sure, but what does that get me? Until we get an answer to that I don't really k

Either you learn Erlang, or you learn Erlang and Elixir. This seems to be the case for languages running on a VM originally developed for another language: Writing in Scala, Kotlin, or Clojure? You'll still need to know Java. Coffees

As ams6110 noted, it's likely not a 2-factor auth attack but rather a password reset attack.

There are already clothes folding machines at the industrial level so it's not that far fetched. They're used on t-shirt screen printing lines, for example.

Ok, the original title was accurate and describes what's in the article.

But the article does address both the in-state generation and consumption. It doesn't do a great job of clearly separating the two, but it mentions that both are down dramatically. Here it explicitly refers to all power fueled by coa

Awesome, thanks so much for pointing that out.

Well, I guess we're both going to do it the same way in swift 3, which is probably the whole point...

See I always thought most people who wrote foo++ actually meant ++foo and it typically only came up when the operator precedence made the two not equivalent, causing a subtle bug. I can't even think of a time where I really needed a

Rust did too. There's probably a pie chart somewhere of time lost to having to type out "foo += 1" vs number of hours lost to people screwing up operator precedence for foo++ or ++foo. (EDIT: as munificent points out this is

One thing I don't see in this list (though maybe I'm missing it) is the ability to expose a Swift function as a function compatible with the C ABI. Something like extern "C" in C++ or no_mangle in Rust. You can pass @con
