It’s not perfect but ideally it’s not the only data point. Typically you’d want to have corroboration among multiple data points to refine estimates. Sortof like a Kalman filter.

In RF, delay can be used to attenuate signals. So filtering of signals.

This is just more idealism. Slavery was a heavily economically motivated endeavor, obviously, otherwise it would never have occurred in the first place or wouldn't have taken so long to abolish. The other two examples are just a changi

Agreed more or less (lived in all 3), although South Bay can be a tossup. I've felt slow doing 80 and fast doing 70.

Only if you want to die! The standard highway speed is 15mph over the speed limit here in CA. If you follow the speed limit, you’ll be going too slow to effectively maneuver or see incoming cars and increase chances of a crash. Ergo: break

I've always felt uncomfortable using these, from the residual smell. I wonder how many subtle toxins we can't smell. I hardly fill the auto-release spot these days for that reason, haven't noticed any down side so far.

I believe they were citing apple not allowing them to do so as the cause, but it’s been years now that they’ve been able at this point, and others already have brought integration.

This is such an uncontroversial take, I’m really surprised to see it get so downvoted on HN. I upgraded my phone the day after it froze when I tried to make a call. I never want to be in a situation where I can’t make an emergency call. Tha

Thanks kind-of the point, except standard convection ovens are weaker. See my other comments for details...

by surfpel 4y ago
Toaster ovens are too low power and don’t have enough convection still, at least for my use case. I roasted chicken just last night, and got a beautiful golden crust with a thoroughly cooked interior… you can’t do that with a typical toaste

by surfpel 4y ago
Yep, you got it. “Air fryer” is just a marketing term for a stronger convection oven. My “air fryer” has a toaster oven form factor and the splatter containment is awful, so the basket design really helps with that, from what I’ve seen.

I bought one recently. It’s a game changer for me. It’s really just an oven that solves the main problem with ovens: being slow to heat / under powered. It’s really mind boggling that these took so long to hit the market!

The brain is a physical structure. So is it inconceivable that some genes may code for phenotypes in both the brain and external appearance, or have some indirect purely biological relationship? I’m not suggesting that this would account fo

That is one specific definition of a recession. It's funny to me because if we're resorting to semantics and nitpicking to prove whether or not there is a massive and broadly defined societal issue going on, then it probably isn&#

I want to fully reply to this but there is too much to dismantle and it would be unenlightening to do so. All I will say is that in being offended by a rather benign comment, you have yourself committed what you accuse me of.

Precisely. This is what it means for a company to get 'comfortable' with something. It means that given enough demand they have developed the tools necessary to do that aforementioned thing and those tools now can become accessibl
