> Vi Bilägare gathered eleven modern cars from different manufacturers at an airfield och measured the time needed for a driver to perform different simple tasks, such as changing the radio station or adjusting the climate control.

Not sure about your car but mine has physical buttons for the actions they're talking about. In fact I can increase/decrease my radio volume and seek via buttons on the back of my steering wheel so I never have to take my hands off the wheel.

The touchscreen is useful for things like switching between apps, entering things into the GPS, etc. The alternative to that isn't buttons, it's looking at my phone.

My biggest complaint, at least about Android Auto is that it tries to force voice commands. The voice interface is horrendous, just let me or my passenger use the touchscreen.
Yeah sure y'all no one is surprised by this, but it's still good to have studies you can wave in people's faces when they disagree with you.
> we spent billions of dollars on a new commuter railroad terminal that opens this year, and upgrades to run more trains per hour during rush hour.

This is my problem with trains in general — they make very long term expensive assumptions about where people want to go. But when the trends change (such as remote work,) then there are hundreds of billions invested in trains going places people don’t need to go.
> It is a giant pet peeve of mine when scientists run a diligent study and then the response is "No shit, that's common sense" with the audacity to call it "junk science." Putting actual data and numbers behind a "common sense" belief is what science is all about - it is not "junk science".

Oh, come on. It's well-known that eccentric exercises fatigue the muscles more. Maybe I can retract "junk science" and say "junk headline / junk journalism" because the study compared concentric–eccentric coupled (CON-ECC), concentric-only (CON), and eccentric-only (ECC) resistance training of the elbow flexors for their effects on muscle strength and hypertrophy and the headline is proclaiming "Less gym time, more results."

But we can criticize the participants in the study: 50 odd 20 year old novices?? Measuring their elbow flexion in three ways over 5 weeks. Are you actually extrapolating a lot of useful information from these results or are you outraged for the sake of it ?

> I think there are other fair critiques about the applicability of this study (for example, another commenter mentioned that they were dealing solely with untrained individuals), but the fact that they used dumbbell curls isn't one of them.

Not using compound exercises is an absolutely viable critique. Most exercises are compound exercises.

I've been thinking about this recently. I have friends who happily move out to pretty remote places, like the Pocono mountains or remote parts of Koh Phangan, etc, none of which is walkable and typically requires a 1+hr trip on a car or a scooter. Yet, they seem to have no problem socializing and having over tons of friends and partners. I guess it depends on charisma or something? If your friends or tinder dates think it's totally worth heading out to boondocks every time. I'm more with you, really want to be in the middle of things and everything walkable, but I have seen very sociable people thrive without that.

I think the bigger question for me, and it comes up about half the time when the topic of Roman concrete comes up, is to what extent Roman concrete has a lower or higher lifetime carbon footprint than modern concrete.

Stronger concrete means either less concrete or a slower replacement schedule, and the Roman formula absorbs a certain amount of CO2 out of the air as it ages.

The second to last paragraph of this article talks about it:

> Through the extended functional lifespan and the development of lighter-weight concrete forms, he hopes that these efforts could help reduce the environmental impact of cement production, which currently accounts for about 8 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Along with other new formulations, such as concrete that can actually absorb carbon dioxide from the air, another current research focus of the Masic lab, these improvements could help to reduce concrete’s global climate impact.

As we reach the end of the petroleum economy we are going to have a problem with making asphalt, as it is essentially diverting a waste stream from oil refining. When we only use petroleum for materials instead of setting it on fire, that's not going to be a 'free' stream of materials anymore.
Just my experience, but I'm not sure how much a degree matters in UK after you have a few years experience. The exception probably being 'big companies' and (obviously) graduate schemes. I guess getting your food in a door somewhere (if you have no other way, and no experience) - a degree will probably help.

All that said, I really grew up at university. I loved it. It was great fun, great to expand your social circle and I'd absolutely recommend it if you can.

> All the reservoirs of capacity have been built, except two

Can you elaborate? A reservoir is just something that stores water - it does not have to be on an existing river, although that is convenient.

California is huge. There is plenty of space to build new reservoirs. It's purely a political problem, as demonstrated by children comments below.

My app is in a weird place where it doesn't generate much income/traffic for me to invest significant amounts of my time coding up payment apis, but at the same time I'd like to keep it self sustaining and payments or ads are the only real ways to go. I'm more interested in payments cause I'd like to do rapid AB testing and see what customers find valuable and what they are willing to pay for. Ads are a passive stream and don't really help me learn about the business.
I’m suggesting that increasing complexity and nuance present in a substrate such as language is a prerequisite for high intelligence because high intelligence in individuals is a feature of groups, not individuals.

10th-gen i5 could not handle a single stream with most of the 4k content I tried, even though it was benchmarked as working. So if you're trying to transcode from varying sources I would imagine most people will end up wanting a discrete GPU.

If you're ripping your own content and can ensure that everything is set up right so that the integrated GPU can handle it, sure, it will probably work.

That being said they could have made giant strides in this area on 11th-12th gen, I have no idea.

After taking my memory for granted for so long, after a head injury back a bit over 20 years ago I was consumed by keeping a record of interesting site links I had read and found the information valuable, figuring it would come in handy in later discussions or projects. I for a while used a crude html page to manually edit in links and notes. I probably stopped doing that iirc 2003 at the height of google's IMO golden era, where if I could recall four or five of what made what I was looking for unique, the exact link I needed was posted generally in the top 20 (real) results. By 2005 the search for it game was slipping and I then relied heavily on bookmarks, usually every month or so I'd waste half a day sorting them and recategorising them and exporting to a html file to refer to when using other OSes. Present day I still bookmark, usually more to indicate the topic was interesting and the link may or may not be in fact dead, though for a while I used to curate the dead links into their own pile, but I now recognise or accept up to 25% of what I link to is more than likely dead after a few years, either the entire site, or it's been pruned ... occasionally there's a similar link at the site dealing with the same topic.

I've got no particular clue. But if the plan is to assume things happen slowly over 50 years then that is a risky plan. If things play out like in the 1900s, we could see an entire world war play out over 5 years and that'd likely break the US dollar. Or some similar shock. We still don't really understand the impacts of the COVID pandemic and what that is doing in China.

> Money in mattress?

The response to every crisis the US has had for the last 3 decades is to print and borrow increasingly large amounts money. And they are probably the most responsible fiscal controller around at the moment.

If you see that changing for some reason then sure, maybe money under the mattress could help. I don't expect that strategy to change myself, and the last thing I'd want under my mattress is money.
I really admire the organization and clarity of this documentation. I'm going to take a lot of inspiration from this. Good work.
I don't know why exactly you need BigQuery in your scenario. If I wanted to have Postgres->ClickHouse it would take single INSERT SELECT from ClickHouse.

If you need just CSV result dumped to GCS you can use clickhouse-local mode that has all the features like integrations with Postgres, GCP, formats.

Only but it is not a service with UI where your data analysts can click and drag what they want to export. But SQL can be simple for them to write and you need nothing more than a trivial cron job analogue to run it.

From my personal experience, for the majority of people, I would recommend to stay away from classic body building weight trainning. I trainned that way for several years in my early twenties (back then, I was even a certified body bulding trainner) and the overload in my joints was a recipe for disaster + the kind of body I developed was disfunctional for activities other than weights themselves.

The excercises I've been doing for years now (apart from other activities (climbing, gymnastics, martial arts etc)) are mostly own-weight ones (pull ups, push ups, dips, squats etc with variations). Every now and then I perform them using a weighted vest with a maximum of 20 kilos. This has kept me in very good shape, injury free and agile.

What’s interesting about western cultures is that they don’t seem aware that elsewhere around the world, white people are racist to other white people.

There are countless examples of hatred, even within people of the same ethnicity. The notion that this will somehow be eliminated by corporate D&I policies or public school level education is …. Unrealistic IMHO.

It’s upsetting to hear but I don’t think we can get rid of racism. Rather, we should be explicit about what is racist behavior at the legal level. People might hate but you can punish them for showing it.
> If you sell another 15-20% on demo day, YC can end up owning roughly 20% of your company for 500k.

How will YC own another 13% if you only sold another 15-20%? That would mean you sold 2-7% for 60k - 200k at a 2.9m valuation, unrealistic. Seed rounds themselves will be 10% - 15%, $2-5m at a $15 - 50m valuation. Most likely they're getting another 1 - 3% for that 375k if you raise a standard seed.

I agree that YC could've got a lot more impersonal with the huge 500+ batch sizes these days. But I still don't agree that the "connections" you're making or making "more people like me" are important when you're spending the money you say you need by raising from your own angels. Raising from your own angels stands as important because you're getting cash for operations and advice, no brainer. I think there's a good reason why founders angel invest after series B+, when they're possibly able to pull liquidity to the tune of several million dollars, making the $50k angel investments trivial. It shouldn't be your focus right now.

The serifs certainly are a dead giveaway, however, there is different amounts of spacing between the top of the bar and the bottom of the character. Additionally, the gray one is visibility off center even in the small image - I'm sure the other ones too.

I always wondered if this cut into what could potentially be made as a profit by the company producing the movie. If a $10 matinee ticket has a defined percentage split between movie theaters and producers, then a $3 convenience fee for an online purchase might go only to the theater, allowing them to take in a higher effective percentage.

The question the editors should be asking of their peer reviewers is: why was neither this, nor any of the other glaring errors spotted during the process of peer review, a process literally designed to catch things such as this?

This is why I think that peer reviewers should be deanonymized post-review, to allow for accountability and open conflict-of-interest investigations.
> Roman engineers managed to invent an ancient wonder of chemistry and physics that was concrete.

Technically, the ancient Egyptians used concrete in construction long before the Roman engineers were a thing.
The difference is they used it for mundane things like wine cellars while the Romans integrated it into their whole architecture system.

Pulling over is often not very practical or especially safe itself. One of my frustrations that voice assistants in cars are still not often that great.
I have the means to buy a much newer car, but I love my old GX470 specifically because it's the last generation of SUV that has a clear gauge cluster, physical dials for everything, a nice sound system + 6 disc changer without the associated garbage infotainment system, and great driver visibility.[1]

Almost every new car I've been in recently feels worse - much worse visibility, weird distracting visual elements on the dash/cluster, touchscreens, etc.

I feel like I'm going to just try and keep my GX running forever. Already have 260K miles and still runs like new.

If you run an open source router distro like OpenWRT or OPNSense, you can use it as the PXE Boot host. That's a device that needs to be running anyway.

I've seen a lot of people running their routers as a VM on something like Proxmox and that gives you even more flexibility but it does require a beefier server - one that could potentially replace all the RasPis, potentially making the PXE boot redundant. :D

I had to pick between the Tesla Model Y and the Ioniq 5, and the user experience of having real physical controls was a major factor in why I decided against the Model Y. It's a fun car, but it felt like I wasn't able to do anything.

At the end of the test drive, it took me 5 minutes to figure out how to turn the car off. I just sat there in the parking spot searching through the controls before finally giving up and opening the door- which turned the car off.

The preorder wait is three times longer for the Ioniq 5, but I think it's worth the wait.

This is one of the reasons I haven't looked into a bidet more. I'm no stranger to waiting until I can be comfortable taking care of business, but to be dependent on an appliance to do something as fundamental as using the bathroom, seems a bit too far.

Now, if I lived in Japan, somewhere famous for the widespread adoption of high-tech bidets, sure, it makes sense to adapt. But in basically all of America and Western Europe, it's still a luxury that if I adopted it now, I would be much more uncomfortable anytime I need to go to the bathroom away from home.
