I don’t think I am understanding what you mean, but isn’t one of the potential use cases of AI to say: “Siri order me the thing I always get from _restaurant_ and it navigates the app for you in the background? Potentially this can be done

Kenda booster & rush. Continental race king. Maxxis Aspen & Aspen ST. Schwalbe RRs, Vittoria Mezcal, S-works Renegade & fast track, Pirelli Scorpion. Basically every MTB tire manufacturer makes an XC race tire in the 600g range.

I wonder why they didn’t put cars they didn’t test in the list… strange… They haven’t tested the current generation 3, S, or X.

I think decoupling health insurance from one’s employer could greatly change the entire healthcare industry. It would go a very long way to reduce cost obfuscation, among many other things. So many people think their health insurance costs

Cycling economy increases naturally with increased fitness. As with virtually all forms of fitness training. It along with many other factors is why someone can quadruple their possible power output with training. All without melting. Look

Regen braking in most EVs is significant enough that the brake lights come on when you lift off the throttle pedal (which is what engages the regen). Tesla has said their brake pads are potentially lifetime. And for good reason. You barely

I don’t think “beaming 4k video around the world” is really an issue at all. The way the internet works, with peering etc. bandwidth is super, super cheap. It’s basically too cheap to meter. AWS bandwidth pricing has no relationship to actu

Probably didn’t help that the app was so bad for months after Joe switched over that Joe was saying “sorry the app is so bad, they tell me they are working on it”. How much audience did they fail to convert? How much harder did that make bu

My understanding was that the whole design was based on a radical exoskeleton concept in order to reduce production cost. But in development that didn’t work out (NVH was a nightmare among other things) and so it’s a conventional structure

OSHA has 2200 employees. If you’ve been around construction you’ve probably witnessed how frequent osha violations are. Most people don’t even know hardly any of the regulations. I’d be shocked if even 1/4 of the construction industry

I haven’t been attacked by a deer, but I’ve had a scary encounter. Came around a corner on my mountain bike and a very large male deer, in season, with a huge rack was aggressively staring me down from 30 yards. Also had encounters with yak

That’s one of the problems with politics currently. Everyone is focused on republicans versus democrats, when in my opinion it should be the people versus those in power first and foremost. While I agree that there are important issues that

Alcohol is an interesting parallel. Probably most people know, or know of someone who is an alcoholic. How many of them want to quit? How many think they have a problem? It’s not surprising that many addicts of other drugs don’t seek treatm

Historically the level of privacy we have now is a recent phenomenon. What would nudity, sexuality and pornography be like if it weren’t taboo at all? Maybe societies role in this matter is creating the problem in the first place. And the b

The problem is that cities encourage/force HOAs to exist. The city gets the HOA to maintain the infrastructure indefinitely. So you can’t really vote with your wallet. Developers often don’t want to make HOAs, it costs more money and

You could write it in such a way where there are constraints. In California you can register a kit car. These cars are not compliant with many regulations. However it’s limited to 500 a year. Which is nothing. Ferrari now makes 13k cars a

They used a 1 Rep Max type intensity calculation (which is very common) and to get that baseline they used an isometric contraction with a joint angle of 50deg. So basically you put someone on the machine, set the angle, tell them what to

Took me very little time to learn the signal buttons. I honestly prefer it now. I just barely wiggle my thumb. Laziness level 1000 reached! I never use the horn… but yeah the middle airbag thing should just be a horn button. Leave the touch

Some teslas have 100kwh batteries. The Hummer EV has ~200kwh battery. Depending on how much extra capacity is needed to optimize for longevity of the pack, and charging, it might be far less than 10 cars worth of batteries. Potentially as

It has an R value of less than .5 per inch. Which is pretty much terrible to the point that it's negligible. A typical wall may have an r-value of 20, and a roof is 30+.

The apteta isn’t the subject of this article though. The aptera is legally not even a car, as it’s a 3 wheeler. It’s a pretty extreme vehicle. Very cool, but quite extreme. The subject of the article, is trying to be a normal 5 door car. So

I think one of the big advantages to something like peloton is how brief you can make it and how private it is. For some, it’s a more comfortable, realistic way to be eased into exercise. The gamification etc as you mentioned adds a lot to
