This is not unbelievable. I don't even live in a coastal city and I still know a handful of active couriers. They're faster than drivers in congested areas and pretty much get a pass on all traffic control/regulation if they

I'll bite. The science, as far as I understand it, clearly demonstrates the addictive properties of nicotine and the negative health effects of smoking. The alternative theory I've heard is that there are secondary benefits to mod

The real world version of the problem looks similar to the 'flexible job shop' but with a few tweaks that increase the problem complexity significantly. Real time, accurate data collection is a non-trivial problem in a high-mix en

I lived in very reasonably priced 'point access block' apartment in the US Midwest a few years ago. It was relatively new construction, so I'm inclined to believe these aren't as rare in the United States as the author m

NO BRAKES, NO GEARS, NO PROBLEMS! This is really the way! Also, it is nice in the winter, because without brakes you can easily cycle in mittens.

It is kind of funny seeing an article on 'one pedal driving'... This has been the control scheme for electric skateboards for years. These EVs are really just large skateboards with over-complicated steering and all the privacy in

I'm pretty sure the Soviet context is actually the correct one. The robotics tie in isn't far off though, as some of the earliest autonomous mobile robots spawned from cybernetics research.

I see a whole lot of people talking about net givers and net takers and how these dynamics affect the usefulness of a friend/acquaintance group. This is HN. Private bit torrent trackers anyone? The higher your seed-to-leech ratio in a

My backup commuter vehicle is a inexpensive (but modified) off-highway motorcycle for exactly this reason. Sure, you have to have a small 'bug-out bag' (in this case a belt pack) with spare parts (bolts, belts, master links etc.)

Interesting. I've been wearing Royal Robbins pants for years and actually ended up with a pair of 5.11 pants that I think are excellent. I'm not surprised that there is a connection. Screw the branding, but I spend a whole lot of

Contrarian take, but tons of truck traffic on interstate highways makes driving far more fun (as long as there isn't road maintenance or undue stoppage). I'm actually looking forward to future me being able to ride my motorcycle a

I think the real unpopular opinion here is that our current brand of technological progress may be a net negative to society. Humans, without substantial biological modification, do not seem ready for a technology driven quasi-utopia. Keep
