Cool trick - they're using HTTP auth URLs[1] so that the @ sign is doing a lot of the heavy lifting (plus some clever unicode slashes). It's an old school phishing trick, with the additional layer of looking like a genuine zip fil

> you need to burn ~3kWh of primary energy in gas to deliver 1 kWh to the household Is that so? I thought electric generation from natural gas was at least 80% efficient - and transmission losses maybe can pull that as far down as 66% -

You probably already know this, but for anyone else reading - it's more than just compressing and decompressing - it's changing phase between liquid and solid! It takes a lot of extra energy to go from a liquid to a gas - think ab

Once again, the absolute size is irrelevant - postage stamp or otherwise. It's optically scaled to fit your field of view - essentially under a microscope. There are VR devices with 4k screens already, and it's still not enough to

Sounds like you gave it an honest try and it wasn't good for your setup - won't argue that. I do think it's something that depends very greatly on your climate, local costs/subsidies, and your house. I also want to shed

They're saying that the attached video in the article is from a simulator training. The video is not of the real life usage that just occurred.

Nice! Fun little game - very similar skill curve to slide puzzles, where at first it's a little mind bending to try to move things where you want without disrupting the rest - but once you get the hang of it, it becomes very simple. So

Nifty little site! Though I don't think it's a great 'learning' tool. I would love if it presented multiple ways of achieving the same layout (EG legacy, flex, grid), so you could compare and see which is best. For examp

Wow, I might actually prefer the Naked version of Long and Winding Road. The stripped down background makes the vocals convey more emotion. For Across the Universe, I still like the more psychedelic sound of the original - but thanks for th

You're right, it's similar. It's sort of tautological to say that the 10% wealthiest own more of the wealth. But we're talking specifically about distribution here. The top 10% could own anywhere between 10% of the wealt

Keep in mind that most people are their wealthiest at retirement age. People near retirement tend to have a lot invested. People under 30 make up 50% of the population - but will not be their wealthiest for another 30 years. But in 30 years

That's fair - I live in a bustling city and get self conscious with people being able to hear me text and such. I know it's really effective these days though.

Awesome research! I was just thinking the other day, about how a qwerty layout for T9 might have been easier and more efficient. Cool to see something even better. A little off-topic, but this 6-button keyboard format looks perfect for my d

Nothing is stopping you from walking around without work. But if one must work (and one must) - walking around in the forest is a nicer setting than sitting at a desk, at least for some subset of the work.

You can't reverse a typical blur algorithmically, since it destroys information. You can only guess at the information that was there before the blur, and work from there. The stronger the blur intensity, the amount of possible startin

Nope. The file data is open within the browser context, and from there the app can decide what to do with it - which may entail uploading it, but doesn't need to be. The same way you can open a file in photopea.com without uploading it
