This is exacerbated by the fact that most developers have nice, beefy machines compared to most people who will be using their products. Though we've also experienced the opposite in the case of server-side code. Improved a lot of lit

It doesn't change the risk (benefit) side of the cost/benefit equation, but it does change the cost side. To illustrate why this matters, imagine a more extreme situation, where it was somehow discovered that a similar flaw existe

Yeah, they both just looked "old fashioned" to her. Obviously she could pick out some differences, but when they first went back to 1955, she didn't really notice that the cars, outfits, signage, etc. were particularly more d

Recently shared the bttf series with my 11yo. The third doesn't hold up too well, but the first two are great. The funny part was that she saw the 80s and the 50s as basically the same.

You have to push a button on the wheel to activate the turn signal, but while the vehicle is turning, the wheel is at an angle, so the button is in a different place than usual. Both in space, and for people who shuffle their hands when the

This reminds me, it would be nice if Google had an easy way to blacklist a sender and/or subject such that it wouldn't even go to spam. I have enough spam false positives that I needed to scan my spam folder periodically, and I&#x

It's clearly true that over the long term, calories taken in will be roughly equal to calories burned, minus a tiny delta reflected in weight change. However, what the parent is asking is whether we know that the longevity effect is du

I actually recall reading recently that that's not necessarily the case outside of extreme levels of exercise, because the body can compensate by spending fewer calories on other things - some of which it may be beneficial to put less

I think you have some valid criticisms of the article, but they'd probably be better received without the condescending tone. (For example, calling someone "adorable" sarcastically is guaranteed to elicit defensiveness IMO.)

The relationship between temperature and friction varies for different brake pads. Of course everything dissipates heat faster the hotter it is, but only racing pads actually tend to gain friction with heat (up to a point). But again, it do

Ah, of course, you're right. Thanks for pointing that out! I didn't really think about it at the time, but the equation you end up with if you use the acceleration approach results in a v^2, which makes sense when you consider tha

But the scenario we're talking about here isn't repeated hard braking.

Why? No production car is brake limited; slam on the brakes in any car and you'll go into (and stay in) ABS, meaning you're at the limit of tire grip, and therefore at roughly constant deceleration. Where would energy dissipation

by tempestn 3y ago
Cars can generally decelerate at a roughly constant rate of acceleration, based on the friction between tires and ground. Given the cars are identical, you can therefore define braking acceleration (deceleration) a, which is equal to both 7

However, pretty much any real world person doing those calculations and arriving at the conclusion that they're better off not getting the vaccine is engaging in motivated rationalization rather than reasoning. Almost no one is actuall

Comparison sites are predominantly not about good search either, but rather affiliate relationships.

It seems pretty likely to me that working a physical job late in life is correlated with lower income and wealth, which we know correlates to worse health outcomes. I would hope the study would control for that, but it's not clear from

Think about what it would mean to not have any advertising whatsoever. Most current large brands would essentially be entrenched forever. No matter how good a new product or service is, it's going to be almost impossible to reach a sus

I agree; not saying what I'd do. Just answering the question of what would likely be different in a communist society, based on real world examples. The value given to human life seems demonstrably lower on average.

I've addressed this by adding a custom instruction to only search when necessary, when it can't give a good answer otherwise. Pretty much cuts the searching down to when I explicitly ask it to do so.

They're serving first party targeted ads based on only their own data. If you're going to complain about that, it's close to saying that websites shouldn't be able to make money from advertising at all.

Maybe that's true for some people. I can only answer for myself. When we bought our Model Y back in mid 2021, I test drove basically all the competitors: iPace, Mach E, the Volvo XC something Recharge, etc. The MY had practically doubl

Most large TV makers make smartphones too, so I doubt software expertise is the issue. Probably more about market forces. (Consumers don't generally differentiate TVs based on startup speed.)
