I have not heard of this before - thanks for the evening reading.

Fun point I read about this topic while back is that planes essentially cost the same amount of money per pound in the air, so building anything with two times the MTOW is an inherent disadvantage.

My first thought as well - the author must be doing this stuff as a hobby/for fun, because that's not nearly enough to comp you for the time spent.

New subdivision next door, so I bought two houses to live in.

That's a bit of an inane, edgelord take, no?

Ah definitely misread it, thought I vaguely remember Forbes and/or NYT being the cheerleaders at the time.

I mean it's the New York Times, a story about female STEM start up founder is essentially an identity politics version of crack to them.

Well queues for proletariat and magic vouchers for the actual commies that would allow them skip that nonsense.

Oh crazy, never realize that either. That SL does look better with round ones though...

Cost of resistive heating is around 2-5x the amount you'd pay for nat gas equivalent. Probably not that dumb, unless your actually point is that poor people just need to be cold for climate change.

Non-sequitur, but I love that I get this sort of first-hand color on a niche industry on HN.

The Chicago one had about an hour wait to get seated for saturday brunch; clearly those burgers should be selling for way more than $30.

Those programs are universally designed to buy votes, rather than firearms. They are wasting public funds to further their narrative that gun violence is an entirely natural phenomenon - sort of like a hurricane - where people people involv

The question was intentionally crafted for that effect :)

Uh huh, now imagine you've built something with usage in mind, rather than a hodgepodge of leaky abstractions for what's happening behind the scenes: git undo git undo file

> Clunky, it is not. I want to roll back an accidental commit of an extra file to the previous, uncommitted state. Or even simpler, undo a commit to restore the exact state just before it happened.

by pxmpxm 4y ago
That's not necessarily true, right? There are large costs associated with changing what we're doing and in absence of being able to actually control the climate, those resources would be better spent on dealing with the outcome. I

There was a fun stat that model S cars when then first came out had bay far the largest proportion of first-time-in-this-price range buyers. I can't fathom that someone coming from his/her 10th s class would characterize Teslas as

What you wrote is entirely incorrect. You cannot wash trade algorithmically any more than you could do by hand (as a matter of fact, virtually all exchanges have self trade prevention that will cancel your netting orders), and exchanges pub

This seems like a far better idea than the segregated bike lanes with stuff in the middle (parking etc), because you can actually see any potential intersection contentions from afar. I'm still unclear how the former is ever a good ide

The proportions on that plane are all sorts of funny: https://aeroin.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/sofia_take_off...

So your grand idea is to replace commercial delivery traffic in new york city with bicycles?
477.
by pxmpxm 4y ago
Well of course it is, either a delivery truck unloads it to your local bodega, or an an amazon car unloads it to your doorstep. Again during the workweek, vast majority of street parking is only open to those two options, yet double parking

by pxmpxm 4y ago
Vast majority of space, especially around the Manhattan and the dense part of Brooklyn and Bronx already is commercial unloading only Mon-Fri, yet the dynamic I mentioned is common place. Again high density implies shortage of space - you

by pxmpxm 4y ago
Highly dense neighborhoods will invariably have cars, and especially delivery vehicles, double parking all over because density always implies shortage of space; bike lanes are in now way special in this context, unless you're suburban

Reminiscent of the "simplify and then add lightness" quote from Colin Chapman (of Lotus cars fame)
