If that is truly the case, then we should encourage as many people as possible to visit the Tails' site. If the list changes from "these people are doing 'dangerous' things" to "these people know someone who li

The article in question: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12383012 It's fun to think about, but the presentation played fast and loose with a few concepts. Sparked some lively discussion because of that. I really l

They do claim specific numbers in their handbook ( http://transitx.com/transitxhandbook.pdf ): 20 lbs battery, 2 electric motors driving 4 15cm wheels, with a max load of 800 lbs. (4 adults or 8 children). Whether that's

This doesn't bum me out at all. Looking at the headline examples given, they all seem to move tech in a better direction. If more of the trivial things are commoditized, then more effort goes into competing on the things that matter. E

Looking at the chart in the middle of the article brings up more questions than it answers. Maybe it's the weird 3D perspective, but it looks like all groups get better grades in evening classes. Furthermore, it looks like finches do b

Yeah, they are ARM specific, at least according to https://siliconlabs.github.io/Gecko_SDK_Doc/CMSIS/SVD/html/i... . "The CMSIS System View Description format(CMSIS-SVD) formalizes the description of

In terms of density, yeah, I think they are comparable. At least, as much as any other place in the US is comparable to NYC. Somerville's astounding density is one of my favorite facts, since it seems so neighborhood-y to walk through.

This question has a FAQ entry near the bottom of TFA: > Why not just make a bare repo in KBFS? The Keybase filesystem journals changes and syncs them after writes, kind of like Dropbox. Which means you and another team member could be fi

The units in the linked thread are slightly wrong, which was corrected later in the thread. 300 Wh/mi * 55 mph = 16.5 kW. The most powerful generator I see on Honda's site is 10 kW for $5400.

I would be interested in seeing the log of the prices on the vertical axis. The curve seems to fit the exponential decline in prices that I expect to see. I think the difference in regimes would be more clear cut that way. Just picking the
