I'd absolutely love that opportunity. I'll be out there with my wife and son next year. Would love to drop by and meet a hello HN-er. I'm pete hat watson-wail period es.

I could go into the physics, but in short, no. Two hard contact patches just grab way more than a propeller can on air. In water it'd work, but then you've made a boat and the wheels are irrelevant. Boats have always been capable

You're not wrong, but not entirely right either. They've not done it on a road surface from standing start. I know a reasonable amount about the tests that have been done to make those numbers, and Tesla require a foot rollout on

Not the OP. You're right, it was always 1.9. They're still talking out of their backsides though. If the Rimac supercars can't do it without a fan to suck the car to the ground, Tesla sure can't. Without a fan you just c

Rural person here. We've been having this argument in the UK for the last... Oh, 400 years at least. It basically boils down to, some muppet in Whitehall shouldn't be making laws about what to do with sheep/cattle/pastur

I'd say it's worth noting that this only applies to SAAS. There's a giant pile of things missing from this if you have inventory, manufacturing or anything else more complex than software and developers. Pricing is an unbel

I'd second this. It's a bit waffle-y, but the shout for starting with a Van Westendorp PSM is pretty solid. Would like to have seen a mention of Gabor-Granger as that then helps bring a secondary element of profit maximisation int

It's likely being used in place of a propane set up for heating something like chicken houses, or maybe lambing sheds if it's somewhere cold. Propane bills generally run about $30-60k for a decent sized operation, whereas if you b

Obviously Ethan knows this and just isn't going into it because this is more a history lesson than a theory lesson, but the same applies to white keys. So B♯ and F♭ are perfectly valid notes. C♯ major for example contains B♯, despite t

You're missing 37-38, 45, 53, 58, 73, 81 and 90, and that's just the ones I can't think of off the top of my head. I'm sure there's probably double that number I can't remember, because they don't intersec

Actions and tactics in this sense are different. An action at a strategy level might be "cull products not aligned with a focus on the athli-leisure market" or "create a new line of footwear positioned around the fashion tast

It's not uncommon. Most Roman mosaics were laid using tesserae made of of local stone (most commonly limestone, sandstone and marble, but varies by area), glass and ceramics. Even in the case of the ceramics, the colour was baked in at

Dying naturally (for basically anything we commonly consume as meat) if humans had never evolved, would be being eaten by a predator. We're just much much better at predation than anything else.
