It might be even worse than seeming like an asshole sometimes, it might actually make you anti-social the way being a VC or police officer does for most people.

It could be that having thousands of negative interactions with people tends to damage your personality in some ways. People who actively choose not to be CEO, like John Carmack, probably sense this effect and want to avoid it.

Some people might be better than others at coping with this. Steve Jobs might've been really good at this, or really bad, it's difficult to determine.
But a nearly "empty" flywheel is a lot less dangerous than a "full" one. While a full gas tank, even if cracked open and lit on fire, would probably burn, not explode.

I imagine seeing a flywheel leap out of the ground and short through the foundations of a skyscraper...
It's not X kWh of batteries for X kWh of flywheels, it's 0.01 kWh of batteries to provide enough power to run the flywheel's protection and control systems while it 'freewheels'. Ideally, you don't want to brake the flywheel while the grid is down, because then you're losing all the storage energy and need several minutes to spin back up when the grid is back.

That's a pretty pessimistic world-view you have there. How about science for the sake of science? or art for art's sake? Develop new capabilities and see what people can do with it - it's hubris to think that you can develop the future in a planned direction and be right. And as to not moving on until you've done everything with what you already have - that's silly. I mean, people are still doing novel stuff with pottery - I suppose we have to wait for your approval to move on to, like, bronze?
tl;dr Only chlorine bleach and certain washers with a "sanitize" setting reliably sanitize laundry.

With bleach you have to make sure you add it to the water at the right time which a malfunctioning dispenser can fail to do (and you might not realize it), but apart from that it works reliably and even with cold water. A "sanitize" setting can get similar results but it depends on the machine; her neighbor's didn't work as well as hers. Unfortunately non-chlorine bleach and "sanitizer" additives do not reliably sanitize.

The obsessiveness of the post can given the impression that this is someone who's a germaphobe, but she actually notes that it's not necessary to kill germs most of the time. She's just motivated to figure out how to effectively sanitize in the cases where you want to do it, like a household illness or cloths used to wipe up raw chicken.

Attention to details: stopping the engine when one exits the car with the fob is consistent with what happens when you exit the car with the key you used to start it.

It's difficult for regular guys to experience mindblowing sex with a woman that is giving them everything like they see in movies - they should be happy if they get their 5-10 minutes and then move on. So what they see in porn they never get to experience in real life and it might be significantly more enjoyable to them than the real, yet average thing that is available to them. I guess that also explains sudden interest in realistic dolls (can't shake the pathetic feeling from that). Some people here do experience the jackpot; if they are smart they don't talk about it, the rest is just theorizing what if.

Those are: one eminent domain case, one real estate case, one property rights & regulation case, a case on strategic grain reserve regulation, and a case on environmental regulation.

It's not very clear, but something between 5 and 10 repost are too much. Don't expect to get much response if you continue to post the same thing. Moreover, some people is starting to flag these stories ...

You must change your strategy. Write an interesting post about some problem you solver for your service (not a lame post, an interesting one). Some ideas: How are you sorting the stories?

Exactly. These companies are far from transparent, the best move is to not put all our eggs in one basket/country.

We too easily allow ourselves to leave it all up to Google and US companies with shady backgrounds and connections. It's why we must support the development of services like WeChat etc, so we are not fully reliant on the US. It also has the added benefit of allowing much greater focus on non-US people and languages, we're often forgotten about.

Just like most University lectures in the country. I don't think that is good or bad in itself.
If you're writing code in a language that compiles to multiple CPU architectures, it's not hard to get 90% of the way towards supporting all those CPU architectures without trying much. The remainder certainly requires some effort (much less if you think about it up-front) - this is where standard types like int, long, even char, and pointers, have different sizes - and where you can't just write out the memory format to a file if that's the same file you're loading on a different platform (even with the same type sizes, because of endianness).

Writing cross-platform code, especially for early games where you're using a fairly restricted set of the platform code (and even less if you're doing a software renderer), is similarly not that hard in the common case if you've thought about it/have experience with it. There are a few different approaches, but even just having a single file that has POSIX and DOS compatibility functions (ie, above the stuff the C standard provides) and some macros could probably get you 90% of the way there.

I don't mean to downplay how hard it is to, say, support multiple renderers, which is a problem that came later, or porting code that was written without any thought given to future portability. But given they knew they were supporting two platforms, it's not that hard to do (compared to the other, actually hard, stuff they did).

Here comes the "everyone is always a fully-informed consumer" trope. Practically a religion at this point.

How do you think Ford communicated with pre-sale consumers re: their product's inadequately reinforced rear end, insufficient crumple zone, "essentially ornamental" rear bumper, and increased risk of death secondary to fire or combustion? Under your scheme, how do consumers who wish to avoid death by fire learn of these defects? What economic interest does Ford have to disclose the problem if the deaths are cheaper than fixing it?

"In the [Pinto] memo, Ford estimated the cost of fuel system modifications to reduce fire risks in rollover events to be $11 per car across 12.5 million cars and light trucks (all manufacturers), for a total of $137 million. The design changes were estimated to save 180 burn deaths and 180 serious injuries per year, a cost to society of $49.5 million."

I would probably mostly remember the relative position of the button. So next time when they would add something in-between I would click the third from the left and would be surprised that something else happened.

I have it the same even with labels, truth to be told. I hate that nowadays Google seems to shuffle All, Images, Videos, News around, because I learned that Images are always the second one and then it opens Videos on full moon and News on Wednesday. Now I have to always parse before I tap/click.

I feel sorry for the designers that had to work on the redesign that introduced these icons in the first place.

They had to add a bunch of padding around the buttons in the toolbar based on a top-down redesign mandate. Buttons needed to be big enough to be used with fingers/touchscreens, with one glorious responsive UI for desktop and mobile. They discovered that labels didn't fit inside the "safe area" for certain languages, like German (and monitors had lower resolutions then). The icons were a compromise.

And then desktop web stagnated under a "mobile-first" mandate from the top. (Since then, the mandate-du-jour has changed.)

One of the great things about the newest GMail redesign is that there are settings around this -- you can make the padding narrower and you can change the UI to use text labels again.
This applies to any plastic film as well.

> No, it is not obvious. In fact, that is not a mainstream etymology at all.

It rhymes. That is not obvious? The proposed root *werg has hardly changed at all in over 2000 years!

> Nor is positing the initial dental as a “pejorative” prefix, something any recognized scholar of comparative Indo-European linguistics would do.

Was that a compliment? I'm aware that humanities research is full of opinion. That doesn't mean I was pretending to be a recognized scholar, just because I admitted an opinion.

> Furthermore, your connection of ‘dwarf’ and the PIE ‘work’ root to ‘warrior’ is, frankly, crackpot.

I did not read this off from a cracked pot to fill in the missing bits. I attempted internal reconstruction which is admittedly highly speculative.

--

Frankly, I suppose you are, like pretty much every linguist, biased towards your mother tongue, and can't readily accept the rhyme work~dwarf ... because that doesn't rhyme, indeed. Conversely, I have to admit a bias, too.

I couldn't even explain in detail how dwarf and Zwerg could be cognate or how to derive a Germanic root from those and other cognates. So, of course I expected the need to take this with a pinch of salt. But your spoon full was a bit much.

> What does a "cloud" have to do with webservers?

I've always assumed it had to do with the common use of a cloud to refer to the internet or other network on diagrams. With a cloud being used because it conveyed a sense of "the unknown" or "uncontrollable." Which is an interesting meaning progression to the current version of "cloud."
The application is likely better equipped to do something reasonable if temporarily storing lots of data is in order.

Still, GnuPG could do the buffering automatically for small messages and force explicit configuration otherwise. The latter might not be realistically enforcable given the compatibility constraints.
> Looking back at the history of physics, can you give me an example of an established physics theory that was discarded by experimental evidence?

The aether theory, which was discarded due to the null result of the Michaelson-Morley experiment.

That's true of things like Newtonian physics, which are still approximately true (in fact, asymptotically true), and therefore still useful in many environments. It's absolutely not true of things like the aether theory.

Now, if you want to argue that Special Relativity would fall into the second camp, even if this guy's theory is correct, that would be reasonable - Special Relativity is clearly right enough that particle accelerators work and atom bombs explode. But to say as blanket statements the things you said in your first paragraph? No, I can't agree.

It's not comparable. Gasoline is limited in how fast it can release energy, by how much air it can get. So you get a fire but not an explosion.

In contrast a flywheel can (and will) dissipate 100% of its energy at once, leaving you with white-hot pieces of metal if your containment worked, and supersonic pieces of metal flying everywhere if it did not. (Or some combination of the two.)

It's far more dangerous. The amount of potential energy is irrelevant, it's the power (how fast the energy can be released) that matters.
There are already solutions for that! We've had one out for a year:
