Artificial "hackable" tests are opportunities to see progress at scale. While I appreciate the recognition that bespoke, perhaps Montessori, education might better prepare people for the open ended ness of life, there aren't

It turns out that all cars have four wheel braking... Actually, unloaded pickup trucks don’t use their back brakes very effectively.

This is the kind of chat that gives statistics a bad name. How does it make any sense to compare deaths per journey on foot to skydiving? What even defines a journey on foot? Why would you include the number of kilometers for the space shut

Well, Atlanta has integrated over 10,000 cameras and 200 pole mounted automated license plate readers. The per capita statistics are distorted by the relatively small boundary of the City of Atlanta, but there are still a lot of cameras. [

Anything faster than bcrypt is practically clear text due to brute forcing, and running bcrypt inside the user interface is needlessly expensive. The common practice is to ensure that passwords are checked and discarded before they can be a

That's ridiculous. In the worst case a domain name would cost $10 or $20 instead of $8 per year, which is less than actually hosting a page on that domain. In the best case, an uncommon and unused domain that's for sale for thousa

ICANN fees should be ten to one hundred times greater than they are in order to reduce the ridiculous hoarding that has occurred. We used to say that fees should be low so that the average person could have their own domain. After all, ther

Many of them are contingent on the states around them also switching. People are tired of switching offsets during the year, but also find more value in the sun being up later in the day (6pm is more valuable than 6am). To complicate this,

Actually that's a very reasonable thing to do. macOS has been using hardware accelerated graphics since 10.0, and leveraging this is better than fighting it. Also see https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty

I'm not sure it really won the spirit of the 0-100-0. Yes it completed the task faster, but it also required more distance, implying that it takes significantly longer to brake. A quick search suggests this is a known Model 3 weakness.

It doesn't seem difficult to add a small forklift as "arms" to support the bottom after it has been lifted up a little. Even a person would have to get the box up an inch before supporting the bottom.

MH370 was near SIA68 when it disappeared, and SIA68 was near the northern arc when MH370 should have been there. It's possible that MH370 could have hid from casual radar by flying near SIA68 until it was in quieter airspace. That&#x27

Yes, it was quickly ruled out. Was that the correct conclusion? How can we confidently say that the plane didn't evade radar? What about SIA68?

You're probably not using a desktop CPU with the same wattage. If Apple makes a 40 watt ARM laptop CPU, it might behave similarly to the x86.

For a safe, commercial autoland you would need CAT3, but if you're willing to take risks you could get by with less. And you would need a friendly ATC anyway or you wouldn't stay hidden for long. But the fact that the plane is cap

Used glass is difficult to transport and not very efficient to recycle. It's a great option as long as you re-use the container locally.

As a legally protected property, ownership of IP is not usually contested. Why shouldn't a single organization control writes and publish an open database?

And lots of tree farms do plant new trees, making it neutral. Coal is more carbon-dense, so you need to plant more new trees than already exist and there probably isn't room for them unless you clear a forest first, and then what are y
