Fair. It depends on the output of the turbine they might use. Various articles about Jay Leno's EcoJet car also says that they were looking into ways to add an "intake" muffler, also citing that the Chrysler turbine car see

Eh? I'd be surprised if the proposed gas turbine was THAT loud. We're not talking afterburning turbofans from a fighter jet, or anything.

There's conventional liquid fuel on board -- gasoline, or diesel, or compressed natural gas -- that allows a turbine to run, which in turn drives a generator, which in turn charges the batteries. Same thing as the hybrid cars with an i

I mean, you could say the same thing about HSTS and key pinning. Domain changes hands, but "oops", HSTS was set and the old keys were pinned. Is that actually a problem? No, it's not. Similarly, as the owner of a new domain

Why do you keep harping on someone "appreciating" or "liking" the comments? It comes off as you equivocating your sexual advances towards coworkers as being something worth giving, that the existence of one time where y

Yeah, I'm worried about both the technical aspect -- did I correctly understand and explain this algorithm? -- and the quality of the writing -- do you understand what I meant here as I described doing a "depth-first search"

The potential for a domain to transfer ownership and still use the same paths, yet have different content seems incredibly unlikely. Like, it feels like you were trying to come up with potential issues for the sake of finding a way to say

Ask HN: Where do you go to get your technical blog posts / articles proof read?

This strawman argument detracts from a bigger point: many people dislike the idea of a CEO getting bonuses no matter whether the company's chips are up or down. It's not revolutionary, but the signaling is still appreciated and i

I ran Windows 7 on a 13" MBP, and then the 13" MBA when it originally came out. Never experienced full-speed fans unless I was playing videos games on it, doing something computationally expensive for an extended amount of time,

Sorry, I'm not sure I get your last point: are you saying the black cab drivers selectively take cash, or don't as a whole? I've never paid for an Uber with cash, so I'm struggling ti understand the argument you're

There's probably no reason I can't still do it, aside from physical distance problems and getting the free time lined up on both sides, which was far easier when we could just schedule it during working hours as 20% time. If we&#x

One of my great regrets with leaving my last job was that: I had little FP experience, and we had one guy with a lot of it. We had done informal teaching sessions, and had planned to try to write blog posts / record podcasts of our li

Do you not find it strange, or at least confusing, that you're arguing a point here that is predicated on studying for an interview, rather than the actual position? "This person didn't study for the interview, so what did

This sounds a lot like confirmation bias. You enumerated what you what you do when in these situations, and that your expectations of candidates are closely aligned to your own behaviors. There doesn't seem to be much room for unde

Sure, but what I was trying to get at is: if you had a string of interviews that felt "bad", and/or rejections, that you would probably be a little sour, and that's what I get from the article. It doesn't strike me

Just out of curiosity: how many bad interviews, or interviews with a rejection at the end, have you had in a row? Or total?

Hell, Intel Haswell in Apple hardware (15" rMBP, mid-2015) rips through the battery, even on stock OS X. I've been at home, on AC power, starting around 9-10% battery, where it tells me 12+ hours until full charge. This laptop is

Having the shared library that can be replaced by itself, instead of deploying N things, is nice. Not sure it's the end of the world, but it's nice. On the flipside, though, this is probably a case where using something like Rust

Having an advantage implies they can do equivalent tests with their proprietary methods, which has not been rigorously proven. If the tests aren't actually equivalent, they haven't improved anything. Charging less for vaporware

I don't think it misses the point of Erlang/Elixir at all. 1) Docker is a popular project for running applications in containers. This is a familiar deployment pattern for many devs(ops) people, so it's yet another option so

Can you explain your rationale on the first point WRT render time being "waaaay too late"? If your app is rendered via JS, having the CSS loaded at runtime should not matter: there's no markup to affect (repaint) and the CSS

Well then, color me surprised. If I can somehow, without paying at all, upload a two-hour mix to Mixcloud, with all copyrighted material, and have it not taken down.... that's great.

by tobz 11y ago
Mixes get kicked off of SoundCloud because they have a higher chance of one of the X songs/samples in them being picked up in the copyright detector net. The fact that it doesn't happen, or that it happens less, on MixCloud only
