Maybe at highway speed. At city speeds I am constantly taken by surprise by electric cars that come from behind while I'm cycling (in the Netherlands, for context, where I'd estimate that at least 25% of the cars are already elect

I'm currently residing in Central Europe and 42C are scheduled on Saturday. I think it's a new record for the town. But other than about 2 weeks of heat wave per summer, the rest of the time the weather is quite livable. I'm

Is there any other country that has a non-English ISO name? LE. There are a few, such as Côte d'Ivoire, Curaçao etc. But those names have been used in practice much more frequently than their English names.

What EEG device were you using? Is it the OpenBCI Cyton, by any chance? I'm currently working with a similar ADS1299-based device, but I've still got a lot of work to do on it.

Since there are people who end their own lives early, i.e. suicides, that position is clearly not unique. But I think it boils down to where you are in life. No-one would like endless suffering. As for my own stance on this, i wouldn't

Not necessarily, maybe there's a strategy that returns 1 extra percent per year compared to just holding the ETF long term. Not quite enough to make a day and night difference, but enough to make it worth it. Still, I personally wouldn

No, you should not. Chances of it working out are probably slim. You probably don't need funding, as many solo founders can attest. Hiring should be done once the business is already generating an income, and should be scaled based on

People have built solar bikes, as in regular ebikes with 2-300w panels attached that power the motor. That's more impressive if you ask me. Other than that, lots of people (myself included) have run old, indirect injection diesels on u

I know quite a few low profile streamers on twitch that are barely scraping a living (i.e. ~$1k a month), with average viewership at ~1-200 in niche topics (Geoguessr for instance). There are a lot more youtubers making a living, but very f

I was looking for more practical tips and challenges related to alternative housing but most of the article is about the author's love life. So the title is a bit misleading IMO. For me, it wasn't really worth the read.

In other words, it's a gamble. And it has terrible effects on the public image of the company if you ask me. If I was a stockholder, that would make me question the long-term stability of the company, if the executive has tendencies to

My understanding is that the ETH and other algorithms designed to be run on GPUs have big memory and memory bandwidth requirements, which is what makes it more difficult (or less cost effective?) to implement on an ASIC. LE. I see you meant

Hmm, interesting. I kept most of my old laptops and only 1 out of about 10 has failed; A Toshiba Tecra S1 from early 2000s. The GPU chip on that one failed and it would have been too much hassle to repair. (soldered on the mainboard) Other

If I were in your position I wouldn't be targeting a FAANG job in the circumstances. Those are very sought after, highly competitive, the whole interview process takes months etc. Plus you won't be in a strong negotiating position

Virtually all off-grid solar installations use some kind of an MPPT controller with a battery setup. The controller is always charging the battery (when there is power output from the panels), and the consumer power output is supplied by th

I understand why grid-tied systems are built this way, but from an engineering standpoint this is really inefficient. Converting from DC to AC and back to DC, for no reason. In fact, most solar controllers are already designed to use and ch

Not in the US, but in Europe, delivery by car was fairly stressful (did that for a few months). Constantly risking getting a parking ticket wiping out days' worth of income. Doing it on a bike though is indeed quite nice.
