Article doesn't mention one of the more interesting (to me) aspects which was how feedback was avoided. The solution is elegant: each vocal microphone is doubled, meaning there are two at each position. The phase is inverted on one of

Only very indirectly. It's actually because of a 2012 rule that kinda-sorta-normalizes emissions credits by vehicle size, creating a perverse incentive for manufacturers: https://www.resources.org/common-resources/

Eh, maybe? There's got to be _something_ for sociopathic ex-squaddies to do who don't want to go back to civvie street. I found their existence believable, if not the high speed Range Rover driving stuff. It's very clearly no

That was a brilliant show. Not just because of Gary Oldman. Well-drawn characters throughout. I've just started season 3 so no spoilers please :)

Hmm, what’s starlink needed for if it’s completely autonomous? Satellite internet covering oceans has been around for a while - but the hard part of fully autonomous sailing is not a low latency backchannel for telemetry :) Some small, dron

Ha, I'm glad you capitalized on what was a great opportunity for a bit of inter-coastal banter. I'm only sorry my response was delayed. Perhaps we can reconcile our feelings at a holistic soul-healing retreat :)

Felt that very strongly in southern Westchester county NY. Not like the 2011 earthquake I felt in NYC, which was kind of slow and made the building I was in sway violently; this was more like the vibrations from a huge truck passing nearby,

Haha really? Can't tell if joking. Something else we used to do in the '90s was View Source.

"Centers on..," would be pretty normal usage. Making it active, like in the article ("Centers at least one...") is a little bit unusual and I can't recall seeing that usage before. Swapping it for 'features&#x2

True, they're bona fide classics these days. but what is telling is that an image search for "rusty delorean" returns a lot of broken cars, but none covered in rust. Here's the worst I could find: https://i.pi

Not a huge amount. I don't think you can "coat" (i.e. electroplate) one type of steel over another. You might consider chrome or nickel plating the thing but the costs would be quite high and it'd flake off in time anywa

Yep - I cheaped out on some 304 grade fixers in the engine room on my saltwater boat and they were rusty garbage inside of a season. And that was just salty air, no direct water contact.

John DeLorean managed to make a fleet of stainless cars in the 1980s, in troubles-torn Belfast, financed mostly by cocaine deals. And his cars didn't rust. Don't want to risk Dang's ire here with a snarky dismissal so here&#x

The DOS version was one of the first graphical things I ever saw. My dad pretty much lived on the road in England and one day he came home with this installed on his portable (not really a laptop). Everyone remembers their first experience

People say this to downplay what flying an airliner is like, but driving a bus is hard! They're huge, have lots of inertia, you've got dozens of lives in your hands, some systems complexity, schedule pressure, a percentage of whac

Don't discount that unified inbox either. What an incredible thing, never seen anything like it implemented a tenth as well since.

I came here to pour scorn on the claims of an attempted multimedia CD-ROM in 1985, but turns out the first one was released in 1987! Red Book was mid '80s. I could've sworn they were a mid 90s thing but this really could have happ
