A recirculation system will prevent high levels of CO2 buildup in occupied rooms, particularly with closed doors. I've measured the difference in our bedroom overnight between having the fan on and off, and it was dramatic (if I recal

Ducts are good for indoor air quality though. Keeping our central fan on at low speed all the time significantly reduces measured CO2 in occupied rooms, particularly bedrooms overnight.

I think I'd buy the physical version of this.

I recently ran into a similar thing with their streaming service, Apple TV Plus. Started a trial and wanted to add a profile for my wife. Browsed around the site for how to do that but couldn't find anything, so I googled and found a

Good points. The battery thing seems like a big one for someone who travels a lot especially. Headphone jack is nice, but I find a USB adapter works fine when I want to use wired headphones with my phone. Size/weight probably depends

Yeah, I get the audiophile one. (I mean, I don't get it really, but I get that there are people who do.) But the cheaper (but still expensive) one didn't seem to offer much. As many people mentioned though, battery life is a com

Who IS the target market for something like this? It's almost as big as a phone, and costs as much as many phones... why would anyone use this instead of their phone? I guess maybe if you have a giant phablet and want something more

That's a good point; if pilots come to expect the lights, I can see how it could be dangerous for them to fail, even if they're not supposed to be the primary mechanism.

That doesn't seem logical if the alternative is not having the lights at all.

Most mutations are indeed neutral. Of those that aren't though, I believe more have negative effects than positive ones. (But the positive ones are more likely to persist, at least historically, due to natural selection.)

More likely older fathers are higher status, which correlates with their own height, and therefore that of their children.

Currently they can and do screen for known mutations in IVF, but they don't correct them; they just filter out eggs that have them. Sperm can be tested, but I don't think it can be filtered.

Yeah, it's possible they didn't fully slam on the brakes immediately. But you don't expect the car in front of you to do so for no reason either, so I still wouldn't consider the second car at fault.

Yes, but anything that hasn't been customized doesn't need to be included in the URL, so most URLs will be much shorter by only including non-default values.

Yes. Watching the second video, you can see the second car's brake lights come on quite quickly, given the Tesla's actions were completely strange and unexpected. Less than a second from when the Tesla cuts in front and starts b

Agreed. However they could still simplify the urls a ton by including only non-default parameters, and still achieve the same thing.

I'm with you except for the cold vaccines line. Did you mean flu vaccines?

That small risk seems better to me in a densely populated area than burning fuels known to cause harmful fumes in their standard operation.

The article quotes a shortage of 3.5M homes. That's somewhat more than 25k. Perhaps a more difficult problem to solve.

A law that results in negative outcomes outweighing the positive ones is a bad law, yes.
982.
by tempestn 4y ago
A lot of tax law is bad, yes. I certainly wouldn't say all though.

by tempestn 4y ago
If a law results in companies taking actions that annoy and impede hundreds of millions of people in aggregate, there's something wrong with the law. Governments need to consider the actual effects when they write laws, not what the e

Not only could you forget it, I imagine it's going to be pretty difficult to have a mental algorithm that's going to be secure against a couple of your passwords being compromised. So if someone wanted to target you, I bet they&#

Any speculation on why it did better on the SAT than IQ? Somewhat more knowledge-based vs reasoning I guess?

That's true, but producing results that are close and just need tweaks is hugely valuable, as long as you're aware that's what you'll get. It's far faster to review and improve existing code than to start from scra

Agreed; the only thing I can see the logic for not keeping in there are 2FA codes.

This actually reminds me of something I was thinking about a couple days ago. You know how people can be resuscitated after hours with their hearts stopped, if they were in near-freezing conditions? Like people who have drowned in frozen

Ha, reminds me of something at a company I used to work at! One of their products included this little switched power supply of some kind. I don't recall the exact details, but basically it included a snubber circuit that was failing

1000+ channels sounds insane. Maybe it's normal to use Slack like that in larger enterprises, but IMO at that kind of scale they need to have separate Slack workspaces for each team, and then higher level ones (or a different method o
