   I'm imagining an elaborate battery black market. One vendor specializes in 9Vs. Sure, they're partially discharged, but if you're unscrupulous you can get mobile power for cheap...

   This guy is rad, I met him on the trail and we bike toured down highway 1 for ~3 days together. Amazing to see him in this video like 10 years later!

   This was so confusing to me at first because last year I stayed in a Sonder that I booked through AirBnB.

   Indeed, sort of like how not ever bathing is only a problem if you think long term.

   I think a more appropriate analogy is that this is like a safe deposit box. You lost the key. The bank is obligated to help you out, even if for a fee to drill the lock.

   The age referred to in the link is the age of the vehicle, not the age of the occupant(s).

    This is not fear mongering, it is actually true. NHTSA reports have shown repeatedly that newer cars have fewer fatalities. Perhaps there is some other reason for this correlation, e.g. maintenance. https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.g

    We use a similar technique at Interana. Our DB is a column store, but we break things up over the time dimension to keep file sizes of individual columns reasonable. One of these time buckets is essentially analogous to a single parquet fil

    This is why a lunar base should basically just be a refinery, launching fuel into orbit to refuel ships destined for other planets.

    This is a good idea though, it gives you some flexibility in trading off range and payload. Probably maximum take off weight is the limiting factor here. But if it's just me, and I have 200 lbs of extra payload, why not load that up wi

    Also, 30 minutes is long enough to just do a few take offs and landings to stay current on the cheap, or just for doing short lessons or flight reviews. I could definitely see a flight school having one of these around just to meet those ne

    I always get excited when driving or flying over SLAC! Although I understand that the facility is now half laser interferometry.

    It is common practice to take the fastest runtime. This will get you as close to the actual runtime of your code as possible, assuming it's deterministic.

    Santa Cruz, California has been doing this for a few years. It mostly works well but those bathrooms get trashed.
