I guess it depends what you mean by "waste heat". I consider the waste heat as the "extra" heat/energy on top of the heat moved. But even if you consider all the heat as waste heat, calling 30% more "far&quot

> And HVAC systems create far more waste heat than they do cooling, so this passive cooling will just be moving the source heat to the water, not dumping extra waste heat as well. Where do you get that idea? A typical EER 12 air conditio

I hope this gains some traction. I lived in Arizona for a while, which is on permanent standard time, and it was great. Now I’m on the east coast and the sun comes up at 8 am. Thankfully the clocks change tonight, but if they didn’t, which

Contrast with the recent naming scheme change for Wi-Fi, which IMO went from overly technical and wonky to quite reasonable. Wi-Fi 5 is followed by, of all things, Wi-Fi 6!

These "Google suspended my account" stories are all similar in that Google always refuses to provide any details about the supposed violation. Is there a good reason for this reticence, or are they intentionally vague just so you

All you have to do is try to run a conference in Chicago to see how bad unions can make things though. Sorry, you can’t plug that in, only a card-carrying electrician is allowed to do that! And he’s on break. My point here is that unions ha

Yeah totally fair point. I figured there’s probably some usecase I haven’t run into for this feature. Still, I think it says something that I’ve never missed it despite some fairly advanced Git usage.

Tangential to the main point of the story, but why were this CEO’s homes up for grabs when his company collapsed? Isn’t liability limited to the company?

I have to say, I’ve used Git for many years now and I’ve never, ever, ever wished for this, nor even knew it wasn’t possible. So this seems like a silly thing to claim as an advantage for Fossil.

Dismissing such basic security concerns as "extremely high standards" is quite off-putting. You need to earn a very, very high level of trust to successfully run such a service, as the other comments in this thread clearly show, a

Why isn’t the traffic ahead of the car taken into account? When I’m driving, following the car in front is a pretty good way to decide where it’s safe. Conversely, going somewhere no car ahead is going seems like a bad idea.
