As others said, obviously the goal is to live longer in good health. As for why, because.. I like living. Why would I not want to do it for longer?

This is true, but seems unrelated to the point I was making.

> All the while, fiercer heat waves will require more energy-hungry air conditioning to keep people healthy. (Though ideally, everyone would get a heat pump instead.) An air conditioner is a heat pump. I'm not sure the distinction t

In North America there was no channel 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_1_(North_American_TV) Old school TV dials went from 2 to 13.

On the radio?

Channels really should go from 2-13 instead, but this is awesome.

He had me up to wading into the water. That seems unwise, and unnecessary when you could shut off the breaker first. Also, as I assume others have pointed out, modern toasters are both electrical and electronic devices; I expect they wouldn

Because the Founders didn't think of it, and though it would obviously be a good idea now, it's no longer possible to get enough consensus on literally anything to amend the constitution.

This is the conclusion of the article: > This world and the standard of living we enjoy are the gift they left us. We can never pay it back. But we can pay it forward: we can keep progress going, and build an even better world for the ge

No, the opposite. We should appreciate all the marvels that progress has brought us, and use that as motivation to bring about more. That was the conclusion of the piece, and I agree. Progress has gained a negative connotation to many peopl

I didn't hear much criticism. Have always thought they did well with the styling. And yeah, I might even say they have the best brand image of any electric car company at this point - which could be a big part of why VW wants this rela

Definitely not true for me. I had a windows pc and mac laptop for years (as well as Linux home and work servers), but when it came time to replace the laptop I switched to windows, mostly because it's more configurable. Also integrates

Huh, it seems to me that realizing buses have doors on the side adjacent to the edge of the road is more an example of crystallized intelligence than fluid.

That's fascinating. So I guess the sound must be produced by something in the body; blood flow would be my guess. And then the structure of the ear is maybe amplifying it?

Yes, agreed. That was actually my original point, that maybe the Industrial Revolution looks like a special period in history from the perspective of today, for that reason, but in reality it's just a period along a long-term exponenti

by tempestn 2y ago
Let me rephrase. Any exponential with a defined beginning and end point - ie any that we are considering over a particular time series - will have a region at which it appears to rapidly increase, before which it appeared relatively flat. F

by tempestn 2y ago
Yes, but every exponential will have a region in which it begins rapidly increasing. Perhaps we just call that period "the Industrial Revolution". The reason it's relevant is that the premise of the article is basically that

by tempestn 2y ago
I'm not sure this so much shows the significance of the IR period, as the fact that progress is exponential. All these graphs appear to be long term exponentials plus noise.

The total tolerance is not +/- 2x, because the denominator of the calculation also increases. You can add as many 5% resistors in series as you want and the worst case tolerance will remain 5%. (Though the likely result will improve du

Yes, now you can tap the button and then use the scroll wheel to adjust, but as I said, that option has literally only been available for a week or two, at least on my car. For the first three years of ownership you were stuck with the to

Small third row. The nice thing about the Y is that you have 7 seats when you need them, but don't need the footprint of a massive SUV when you don't, which in our case is most of the time. It's a foot or more shorter than

Agreed. But I wanted an electric SUV with room for kids and dog and such, and the Model Y absolutely blew away competitors in 2021 in terms of space for people and cargo, in a reasonably sized vehicle. Still does to some extent; no one else

Ha, maybe that's been an option for longer and I just never thought to try that particular incantation. I even googled this issue and didn't discover that. Will have to try on mine now. I do find it amusing that you now have the o
