It's disingenuous to say rural areas are too poor to install public transportation. It's that there's too much to install (too much space) for any given user. Just economics of rural areas. It doesn't make sense unless we can significantly reduce the capital investment and running costs of public transport.
Hard disagree. People are far more cunning and twist the news more than an AI ever could. AI would in most cases remove bias and improve understanding among their audience. Case in point: current.report
Yeah well put. It should be said that regulations OFTEN cite certifications from non-regulatory bodies. Regulators are often legislators and executors, not scientists that understand the rationales behind good practice. Certification bodies (like UL, as one example, or SAE for automotive) have the scientists to do the requirements.
I feel the need to step in here. Certification != regulation. Regulation means there is a body that can enforce the requirements with monetary or other damaging repercussions. What Oceangate faced were certifications and their decision to side-step them were met with no repercussions except their reputation with those who wouldn't ever want to step inside their sub anyways.
Point is - regulations would have prevented this, but there are none.
I see it as marketing. Businesses are able to establish themselves wherever they please so it's incumbent on us to give them a reason to come here. Same as any consumer goods manufacturer would do to lure new consumers. The hope is that we'll attract more taxpayers along with those businesses and take in more taxes/profit from the operation.
Tax simplification and reform can't come soon enough. But frankly, I feel like we need more business and opportunity here.
Yeah probably not what you're looking for but Out There on Android is a sleeper. Think The Martian (yeah the novel) mixed with No Man's Sky. Some free and open elements with a journal-driven story progression. Difficult as well.
First of all, best user icon. Saw it before, commenting on it now
Second, the intent of supercaps shouldn't be range but batter loading. The limit of regenerative braking is not in the torque of the motor but what you need to do to transform the generated current into chemical energy in a battery. It's not as simple as passing the current through a capacitor, but with supercaps it is. So with the supercaps you can dump extreme currents and either use the energy for taking off or redirect it to the battery.
I demonstrated this in my senior design project at uni and it worked well. Didn't have a load I couldn't absorb with a bunch of the caps. The issue was they're very low voltage, so similar to the li-ion cells you need a lot of them in series to match the system voltage.
I'll give my thoughts for anyone dropping in from a search or wherever. I have a pair of MB42s (non-x) powered by a cheapish Amazon 20w DAC+amp and love the sound. Great for movies, music and gaming all around if paired with a small (8 or 10") sub. They're quick and detailed, but not too analytical. Great separation. You can close your eyes and really get yourself in the setting or pick out the instruments and reason about their construction or the method they're being played. Yet unlike a pair of monitors, these speakers are actually fun. They're not completely flat and lifeless, nor ever siblant to my ears. As I alluded to, though, they fall off around 120-140hz so you need a sub if you're watching movies (explosion kicks are completely missed by the MB42s) or listening to anything needing prominent bass like electronic or metal.
My only gripe is their field of listening is quite small. On my desk I need a couple of speakers stands to point them at my ears to get the most out of them. They're certainly good outside the sweet spot but if you're really trying to enjoy the media you need to position yourself right. If I even relax too much I find I'll miss the super high-end details. For this reason they're not at all suitable for the R/L channel of a home theater system.
Windy is it. Great initial view of favorites for the quick check and beautiful visualizations, but man does it get deep if you want to double click.
For instance, a few weeks back I wanted to see why the sun looked orange and the sky was pale at ~3pm, so I pulled up the particulates map. I could see a 6hr moving map of particulates making their way from Alberta CA over to the skies to my west.
Also, they show a breakdown of all the major weather service providers' forecasts and detail which are better in which situations, helping you understand if that forecast you're planning on is really going to happen or it's just wishful thinking.
Oh, and you can set up alerts to notify you days ahead of time if conditions are right for activities, like if it's cool enough and good enough air quality to go for a run or if the wave swells will be high for surfing or what have you.
This is correct. The water analogy has limitations that are exposed when you start to talk about transmission over longer distances or very small things like computation circuits. Having said that, humans have a hard time understanding this explanation because we don't have senses that even remotely describe electric fields.
Marketers care an unreasonable amount about how their ads show up from a UI/X perspective. It's meaningless, but these people stake their roles on it, convincing entire industries it matters. Then you get some marketers who are laid off entering consultation and keeping the wheels turning on these ideas....
Ask me how I know 😮💨
Anyways, imagine Reddit looking to go IPO and asking their customers (marketers buying ads) what they can do to improve their services to these patrons, and you get /u/spez breaking his back to please them ahead of the customers their patrons would reach.
