I was never sold on those shifters either. Mechanically indexed shifting in general never really was fantastic enough to justify all the additional finicky fine-tuning required for it to work well. But electric shifting is a whole separat

Technically that stuff is health data (especially the heart-rate, o2 levels, etc) so it's probably just not worth trying to fix the protocols.

Friction shifters suck really bad, if you ride your bike more than once a month. Having to feel out the right shift point, adjusting front derailleur trim, remembering where you are in the gearing so you can avoid cross-chaining, having th

You're sort of leaving out the fact that ABP launched its own ad network and advertisers had to pay them to get listed as 'acceptable.' It torpedoed their trustworthiness in the eyes of many.

Yes, that is how rates work
336.
by stonogo 1y ago
No, that would justify a higher absolute count of injuries. If the rate is higher, it's less safe.

"Names from N.C. speeding tickets were selected from the most common names where at least 90% of individuals are reported to belong to the relevant race and gender group." Got a better suggestion?

But that's where the funding is (was). The user facilities attract researchers from all over the world, and make sure that research happens in America. Instrument development happens in partnership with the labs for the same reason.

Then I have trouble believing you understand how cutting-edge research happens, because these organizations are the ones who fund it. The missing piece here is DOE Office of Science, but they're coming for that too.

That multiple correlation is just more evidence the test is flawed. No qualified psychologist would call it reliable, and that's been the case for some years now. Not all work is knowledge work. You might want to broaden your horizon

The assertion that "actual intelligence is hard to know" followed almost immediately by "apparent genetic heritage" is what's wrong with your opinion. And no, it doesn't work -- at least it doesn't work fo

This analogy might work better if the Mustang GT weren't, in fact, the same car as the Mustang. It's just a trim level, not a different car.

Purism devices can run Android APKs via Waydroid. I don't think this Google policy materially affects that, though, so I'm also mystified why they bothered writing this article.

Austin has a bad reputation amongst LEO, since the city passed oversight measures that many officers consider excessive.

Working hard doesn't guarantee results. I feel like this is obvious. I would imagine that they never got the thing to work right, or at least not well enough. Even if they did, there's no guarantee it's profitable, much les

The parent post was someone literally hosting a crpyto conference, and this one was someone who runs a crypto company. A sibling story describes the father of a 'cryptocurrency influencer.' Is there any evidence of real crime ha

The actual reason is "because they're being told to." Before that, there was a massive public-cloud push DOE-wide. Nobody outside of ASCR is interested in computing, and there's a lot of money to be made if you can sna

That behavior violates the Magnuson-Moss act. In normal times it would be illegal and you'd easily win a lawsuit about it.

You keep qualifying your comments with "by tech people" but the problem is that Google bought their way into non-tech people's computers. Every single Google product on every single pageload had an "install Chrome"
