The fans cars have are not sufficient to cool the engine at high load.

It gets most of its cooling from the air flow. Cover up all openings if your car and you will overheat the engine very quickly. If you put a car on a dyno you usually put a big fan in front of the car to provide cooling.

"Maybe the incentives to be able to bullshit your way to a professorship are so great that no one wants to rock the boat." Our whole economy is fueled by people bullshitting each other.

I would think a successful study is way better for your academic career than a failed study.

They are writing automated tests. Same workflow as development.

Our testers work on a branch often for half a year or more. I always “love” helping them merge their stuff.

I was friends with some hedge fund guys in the 2000s. The way they presented it was that some funds have good technology but in the end there is a ton of insider information going around. It may not be strictly illegal (I don’t know) but pe

I wonder where the 1942 comes from. At that time nobody knew that there would a test named Trinity and trinitite was also 3 years away.

It’s pretty unethical to withhold information from people who wouldn’t do the work if they had this information .

You have to look at the whole picture. The people who drive to the theater emit CO2. Same for car racing. I bet the emissions caused by the race cars are dwarfed by the emissions of people driving to any larger music concert.

"Higher dimensions" sounds kind of appealing but what does it really mean?

A lot of US cities are already spread out a lot. But businesses don’t spread very much but concentrate in a few hot spots. That leads to very long commutes. If remote work doesn’t become much more common people can’t move into that empty s

I don’t think so. Once your house value falls, you can’t move anywhere else.

“Plus, houses are touted as a major investment vehicle for the average citizen. If they all go underwater due to lowered prices, it'll result in a pretty big economic crisis. So most government agencies won't want to see house pri

I could imagine that it will change the way you perceive things. There are experiments where people got goggles that switched the left and right eyes and people adjusted after a few days.

“And then there are the adventurers, who randomly show up on skis or in an Arctic Truck..” That’s an interesting point. A while ago I had a discussion with a flat earther who claimed that the military won’t allow anyone close to Antarctica.

“Maybe it's just me, but when people higher up in the hierarchy than me insist on describing themselves with "low status" labels, it really rubs me the wrong way.” Totally agree. Reminds me of a lot of articles some years ago

"It's continually amazing to me that more than 100 years after Marx and Engels wrote their papers on Socialism and Capitalism, people can't see past much more than those choices. Which seems to be very much a false dichotomy.

I think I still would have my K-3 if the autofocus would have been better. My Sony A7iv is just miles ahead. And the K-1 doesn’t have better focus either. It’s pretty sad that a company that was building such great cameras in timers of fe

That’s totally orthogonal to making tax filing simpler. One has nothing to do with the other.

You can. But you can’t download a large region like a whole state which makes long road trips a pain. Apple Maps is even worse because it has no offline mode at all.

I have tried OSMAnd a few times but it reminds me of the GIMP. Super powerful but incredibly convoluted UI

Organic Maps is great. I just wish OSM worked on search more. They are behind there.

The support is terrible. You can only choose a rectangle with the same proportions as your screen and the allowed size is too small for a trip in lots of areas of the US. Like a lot of software there are restrictions that make no sense and
