Tire noise is the major contributor at speed, and it looks like even in a typical US residential street with 20-25 mph speed limits, tire noise already dominates.

Note that they can claim to guess a location based on reasonable clues, but actually use EXIF data. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43732866 Maybe it's not what happened in your examples, but definitely someth

That actually happened at my job a few years ago, where some extra power draw off a power supply that was also feeding a PC would slow down the code running there. It does sound crazy...

Thanks for writing lnav, it's a fantastic tool. I constantly take advantage of the automatic benefits you mentioned, and also love the ability to navigate a log minute by minute, interleave multiple logs within the same timeline, navig

I think it's unfair to characterize this as a layman's myth given that it was a widely quoted figure in the literature at least until 2016. https://www.cell.com/cell/pdf/S0092-8674(16)00053-2.pdf (Are We

I buy Bob's Red Mill "Old Country Style Muesli" in the US. It is the only one I've found with zero added sugars. Most grocery stores in my area seem to carry it tucked away somewhere. Your recipe looks nice, but some dri

Luckily the original data from that day is available, so you can see [1] that the actual temperatures recorded in Zaragoza and several other cities nearby were far from that extreme temperature. Other Spanish newspapers reported the extreme

All those leaks contribute to the externalities of natural gas. I don't know the relative contributions between extraction and distribution, but leaks in the distribution network are also a problem in Europe [1]. It's certainly tr

This will depend on the specific threat model for the sensitive data you are dealing with, but generally files in an SSD can't be destroyed securely (and shred specifically does not help due to wear leveling). Instead, you may want to

It may be worth insulating it first. It cost me just about $1500 to go from effectively no attic insulation to R60 for a thousand sq ft, and besides making a massive difference in comfort it reduced energy usage by about 50%.

Maybe you're being hyperbolic, but the catastrophic engine separations in the Stratocruiser were due to propeller failures. http://enginehistory.org/Propellers/B377Props.pdf

Altitude is definitely a challenge, but I don't agree that peaks below 4000 m are amateur mountaineering and elite is reserved for 8000ers. As an example, Marc-André Leclerc made some incredible first solo ascents below 4000 m like the

The Moderna booster is actually a half dose, although I don't know if it tends to have stronger side effects than the first two full doses. Source: https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavi.

The law that you linked says that drivers aren't allowed to drive at an unreasonably slow speed, and defines that to be (for highways, with good weather, and just on the leftmost lane) 80 km/h. It doesn't say that the speed l

My partner and I lost a good chunk of our clothes and lots of time to a cheap $300 mattress. The fiberglass in the firesock leaked, and the first symptom was a very itchy running t-shirt. It took us almost a week to figure out what was goin

A very similar system is also common in small towns (population in the low hundreds or fewer) in Spain. Every few days a baker will come driving their van and selling bread, or a truck with fruit, etc. Even doctors and priests follow a simi
