Ya you really cant cool much unless you're willing to scrape. Unless they turn into a slurry? I dunno

Hehe. It is an example I ripped off of an old SV founder.

Thanks for the heads up. They've ruined vodka and a great example.

I think of it as a book every two and a half days. Note he doesn't have kids and spends half his workday reading books. He writes the list down and at the end of every year he sends it to me (I asked him to). It ain't light readin

They're also the diametric opposite of idle. I know a guy who almost became a zen monk. By march he writes the allotted number of scientific papers for the year (he works for a govt lab). He's the editor of the top journal in his

Assuming it's well designed. If so, this cant be beat. Arent studio monitors this?

The problem isn't that you cant make cables bad, its that you cant make cables excellent. Its like vodka. There's certainly bad vodka, but there's not such thing as good vodka, only neutral tasteless vodka.

What do you mean by "ton" in either Kg or on lb (or stone for all I care). Like calories, ppl mess that unit up all the time (tonne, ton, short ton, long ton, etc). If you mean 1800 kg, my full size 3.3 L V6 Sorrento weighs less a

"SUV that weight double, cost double and only seat five people at half the range." That's just not right. Minivans are typically as big, if not longer, and weigh more or less the same. As to cost, unless you're comparing

You didn't read the OP's comment. He wants an A4 He has a much bugger car because he needs fo fit three car seats. That the market has cars bug enough for him, and the reasons for providing it, are not germane to his comment.

"over the last 150 years" I believe that the next 150 years are not going to be like that. If for no other reason, demographic collapse will destroy the consumer base for companies. 1000 years? That bug ridden pinhole camera will

But reciprocity breaks down eventually, and it's not obvious to me that the paint will fade at all.

I thought he meant .22 for a moment but asked myself: "of all the places to ask what to do with a case of ammo, why all HN?". Then I realized it was probably some neteorking stuff

Clearly the metals and their oxides phase segregate, so the question is: "Why do you assume that molten rocks mix?" What mental model do you have that leads you to the wrong answer?

Let's assume American pilots are gods. They were shouting that their crafts were unsafe. No matter how good they are and how prescient, that doesn't help them if the aircraft computer decides it's stalling, forces a nose down

Id feel mostly vindicated (which is worse - no one likes that guy), but also reassured. Reassured that I'm not crazy! The decision OP took might have been extreme and costly (time wise and effort mostly). People around him might have l

It doesn't matter if the worker is sloppy and should have been fired, or if Boeings training is poor and should be improved. Boeing has a responsibility to make sure its workers do their jobs as needed.

So it's not the worker who ducked up, but there are loose bolts either way because the Walsh gang took over.

Most of it. Statistically. Its not hard to assign part of the deaths from the MAXes to the US.
355.
by thsksbd 3y ago
Ya but your sample size is way too small to measure the death rate. Aircraft deaths are rare, but flying is too. The two MAX 8s that fell from the sky were 100% Boeing's fault and could have happened in the US. If 5% of airline traff

So address the fact that there are 4000 lb boxes doing 70 mph. Physics, to a first order approx, doesn't care about the car mass, btw. It does care about A*Cd*v^3 though. Especially the v. A lot of problems depends on that v.

The tail is where important decisions are made. X meter tsunami waves -> nuclear reactor barrier walls X days without replenishing vital supplies -> warehouses and buffers. I loath to think how many bad decisions are made because some

This is probably a bad idea by ppl who think things they understand scale without issue. Yes HVDC exist and are awesome for very long lines and for underwater uses. Yes, most appliances in a house today are DC. That doesn't mean that m

They are far more expensive, and environmentally problematic [1], than an AC equivalent. [1] switchgear use SF6. DC will require the SF6 at far lower V than AC
