Sadly, zero interest on my part. If I need information, it is already within easy reach: "Hey (Google|Siri), ?" or Just get my phone out and use website/app of your choice.

Reminds me of tinyprojects.dev Paper Website project from 2021 https://paperwebsite.com/

Smart inverters allow energy companies to reduce the solar power sent to the grid to improve grid stability, avoid overload conditions etc.

If other websites exist about this topic, why are these two specifically being censored and by who? If abortion is legal (within a set of guidelines), what laws exist that these si…

I really love Hannah, great communicator and keeps it interesting. If you're interested, I'd also recommend Brian Cox as a similarly fantastic representative for maths & science.

I wonder if the ORM deletes were slow due to looping through a list calling delete on each object vs having a bulk delete method which accepts a list of IDs?

Those photos are absolutely amazing, what a stunning demonstration of innovation!

Good catch, sorry should have corrected that. While not small for a machinist, I think by the average persons definition that is a pretty small gap for the oil to occupy ;-)

The bearing surfaces in an engine (ex: crankshaft main bearings) have very tight tolerances, usually in the 15-25 thousandths of an inch. The engines oil pump fills those tiny gaps…

I'm confused as to why they've allowed the data center power drain (which they knew was going to happen) to cascade into consumer power prices. Surely they should be charging consu…

If it is reasonable to have your privacy in a public place, does this mean that products like Flock which indiscriminately violate your privacy would now require a warrant for law …

Yuck, a little vomit just came up :(

That is very cool, dare I say impressive (at least in my opinion). Folks need to ease up a little I think.

The most efficient use of a roundabout is to indicate when you're turning across the roundabout (turning left if you live in the US) and when you exit (whether that is the first, s…

I don't think roundabouts are complex, treat them like a giveway/yield and they are brilliant. The biggest issue is they are an infrequently used traffic control device in the US. …

The fact they know they are sending marketing emails, not associated to your account itself speaks volumes ;(

That is horrific, I cannot believe Ferrari put their name on it yet alone released it.

I'm not a soccer guy, but I still think the piece on Lionel Messi was awesome https://web.archive.org/web/20140701122958/http://fivethirty...

I love the idea of hierarchy of intimacy, that is a great concept/phrase. I'd make it so you could tap a phone, you know their phone number, you know their email. Importantly in my…

In my head, the new Friendster owner wants to drive some amount of true personal connection - hence the tapping. The problem I see with not using a phone number as I described, is …

Tapping phones seems very limiting. I don’t see most of my friends in person that often, different cities etc. I think a better alternative would be a phone number. You only give y…

SpaceX, xAI, Collosus data centers, next space compute, X, Starlink and soon Cursor to join 2, 3 & 4 together?

What a great article!

This is very cool, impressive piece of work Paul.
