I don’t think it is people being possessive but rather people finding their value over the work they do (sentence ended up being weird but I hope the idea is clear). So I see someone dedicating a sizeable portion of their life on a discover

Turkey did it some years ago (2005). Removed six zeroes and named it something like “new lira”. Then named it back to “lira” after most of the old money is out of circulation. 20 years later, I think some more zeroes are available to be rem

And if it’s the very first gen of the Leaf, then, as far as I know, they don’t have thermal management for the batteries. So it greatly stresses them both for discharge and charge and that manifests as reduced capacity. Lithium cells are ha

I think that applies to many other electronics they sell too. I find them pretty well engineered overall. My guess is that it’s because they sell any particular piece of hardware in millions and it’s in their best interest to design it prop

Interesting approach. I have a feeling that this is intended for sparsely built houses (the typical american housing maybe?) since in a dense European city I’d imagine it would pick up tons of cell phone signals from other people in their o

You can but it isn’t efficient. You lose (V_in - V_out)*I_led Watts to heat if you use a linear regulator. You might ask why not connect them in series and get the voltage difference as small as possible. But the “forward voltages” of LEDs

They might turn off/block egr which reintroduces exhaust gasses to intake to reduce combustion temperature. The upside of this system is that it reduces NOx emissions, the downside is that you’re bringing a lot of soot inside the engin

Pretty benign until an idiot holds a small piece of sheet metal in one hand and drills it with the other. Guess how I know :) To my defense, I put a bit of wood between the metal and my hand to prevent drilling my hand but little did I know

I use both kinds very frequently so I can comment on this. The main difference is that SLA strength is more uniform and FDM strength is very directional. And the strength of the output is highly dependent on the material for both printers.

We have multiple form 3 printers at work too, and they are very slow! It takes an hour to automatically fill the resin tank (which I cheat by pouring myself) and supply costs are ridiculous. But I really like the rather consistent output qu

Part of the reason is the compliance requirements. You need to pay quite a bit of money to USB-IF if you want to make anything USB and this is recurring as far as I know. There's also the other things like tests for EMC and ESD and wha

Ah, you’re right! I was talking about the “comparable” batteries, assuming them being chemical batteries

There’s also the self discharge aspect of things: cells lose energy even if you draw no current at all. This is dependent on many things including chemistry, quality, buildup, temperature and whatnot. I am not including lithium batteries (n

It changes resistance. My dad had an old, full mechanical/hydraulic automatic car and it was an extremely visible feeling from the throttle pedal when it changed gears or when it engaged the extra clutch (it had torque converter and so

The throttle feeling of a cable operated throttle is more about how much air the engine wants to breathe. I’d say it’s kinda still related to rpm, but it might be a completely different feeling on a turbo engine, that I haven’t experienced.

Two things; modern HID or laser or LED headlights should have the auto adjustment, so just jump to the second paragraph if you have one of these. But halogens can be adjusted usually from inside. They tend to have adjustment buttons to comp

One of mine is microvision, but the other one had a different brand (I don’t remember the brand though). But they are exactly the same machines except the text on them. The VGA accessory works perfectly with both. Regarding the image qualit

I have two of the microvision ones and I can tell you the reason: they have to scan to draw and that makes everything look very wobbly. It isn’t something you can clearly see but it is stil somehow visible (through peripheral vision I suppo

I think you’re right. Leaded additive is an octane enhancer to prevent knocking but it’s also good for valve seats and whatnot. That’s the bit what makes it difficult to just switch to other octane enhancers as far as I know.

One side has a magnet, and it firmly attaches the base board (steel). But the other side just has the pogo and is fixed there just by the weight of the thing. It works good if there's enough "bite" and the rest of the system

Only couple of times per year I drive those kind of distances myself, but I’d say the main benefit comes for “derating”. In other words, you can buy a 900 mile range car, and can travel 400 miles in Lapland winter (batteries don’t like cold

That wooden pipe looks very cool actually :) Do you know when did they make it/installed it? And how did they joined them, more wood?

I am very much wondering how Oura (the smart ring company) will handle this as the thing is very small. Their current design is fully casted, and practically impossible to do any kind of repairs.

Towards the end it says; > the material lasts longer than rubber, and has better abrasion resistance. With rubber tires these both would mean bad grip, I wonder how this material fare on that front. Probably not a problem with stroller w

I think what they meant is that the backup camera screen is embedded in the review mirror. I’ve seen those that it’s kinda like a first surface mirror and you can see the screen only when it is turned on. Otherwise it’s mostly invisible.

As far as I know something similar is used in Finland, but not with the industrial processes. Some apartments dig a deep hole into the ground, and pump the heat up during the winter, pump the heat down during the summer.

Very interesting article to read after 15 years and it seems to have aged like milk so to speak :) I think the main thing is that the author approaches the problem very logically (just comparing features) yet the users don't follow the

What you describe sounds like a dream career for me! Would it be possible to have a chat with you on what sort of a path led you towards it? I see you have no contact info on your bio, but you can find mine in my bio.

In Finland, at least, this is a thing. Parking enforcement is partially given to private companies but I don't know how it works with the underlying mechanisms (i.e. whether they are getting a fixed sum, or whether they get a fraction
