In the US RWD manual cars have been exclusively sport/GT for decades. They aren't cheap and a hybrid swap and/or daily driving miles would destroy their value.

It's just trying to visualize bang for buck. Not science, much less pseudoscience. EA ended up getting coopted by people who weren't interested in altruism at all but that doesn't seem like this.

The first 486 reviewed by BYTE magazine was an Apricot. It was a pretty nice machine compared to the Dells you see advertised just inside the front cover. https://vintageapple.org/byte/pdf/198909_Byte_Magazine_Vol

Yeah man if a barbarian fells a tree in the forest but nobody is around to hear it, is it still barbaric?

That's about the US West. It might as well be a different country, with respect to water. East of, say, Omaha, the concern is more getting rid of water than collecting it.

Low power and high power electronics don't actually have a lot in common other than the broad types of engineers you need to be educating. China has industrial policy. The country and companies are able to invest in BEV technology kn

I think there is a misconception that FAANG type coding interviews are trying to find stars. They aren't, otherwise they would not cap the difficulty and have a bank of approved questions which can be crammed via leetcode. They are te

Definitely not true. Otherwise we would have really fast C++ compilers and no one would ever have implemented hacks like precompiled headers.

Founding editor of this magazine works for Mercatus Center which is a F.A. Hayek fan club. You know, the Pinochet guy. You already know what the conclusion is going to be, the interesting part is how the author gets there.

Nothing, really. You can't build a company on a hack.

I didn't even think the link to greenhouse gases is denied any more. The merchants of doubt ran out the clock and what I hear from the former deniers I know is that it is too expensive and too late to do anything now, being warmer will

Gauss supposedly did it when he was 7. The hardest part for the compiler is figuring out that you have a loop that computes that sum and does nothing else important.

No, these types of accommodations don't really exist any more. That's kind of the point of the article -- they were becoming extinct 30 years ago.

If structured the right way, agricultural land has numerous tax benefits that can range based on jurisdiction from carve-outs on inheritance taxes all the way down to property tax exemptions on what could not even be considered a hobby farm

I've got a ton of mason bee tubes. They are awesome. To use a silicon valley analogy, nobody has figured out how to scale out mason bees. Not to the > 200sq miles of pomegranates, pistachios, and almonds owned by the Resnicks. Th

I think it is not a great analogy. As Jeremy Bentham wrote, “The question is not: can they reason? Nor, can they talk? But can they suffer?” I have relatives that do or have raised bees (as a hobby). Can bees suffer? I don't know.

I'm not saying anyone is doing 'enough' but neonicotinoid bans in EU are perhaps the most effective and 'costly' thing done so far. In Not that costs borne by poisoners

It's true but honey bees are still extremely economically important. And very useful because their hives are large and portable. The billionaire Resinick pomegranate/pistachoi/almond oligarchs put quite a bit of effort into

It's actually wild that you actually CAN manually lean the mixture. What's the last car that was sold without closed-loop EFI? If they were cars, most GA planes would qualify for 'antique' plates. Most of the rest are

It depends what adversary I guess. It seems like several middle eastern countries of very different religious bent are quite happy with our military activity. Though they are not usually named as adversaries they certainly are by any rati

No it is not, an earlier WA building (not necessarily the earliest) was across from the Burgermaster on SR520/Northup Way. I think they meant it's the original MS building 3. As far as I know there is no 'new' building

Pinks and oranges are notoriously not lightfast. Unless you use cadmium, which is kind of not something you want to be handing out to people who might be licking their pencils. Ever notice why yellow cars always end up looking pale lemon-

'Qume' at this time meant daisywheel printer, what used to be called 'letter quality. Not dot matrix, the output looked like a nice typewriter. which it effectively was, just with a parallel port instead of a keyboard.

I feel like nobody here ever drove in San Jose at night prior to 2020-ish. Because high-pressure sodium I like, LPS as in San Jose is like viewing a monochrome monitor.

Sure this is bad but what about states where they don't have universal free dental care with bi-yearly topical fluoride?
