This article linked at the bottom is interesting too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ne_supra_crepidam "Let the cobbler not judge beyond the shoe"

It's a pity that paternoster lifts are so unsafe [0] — we could avoid all problems to do with scheduling if they were safer. On a related note, could someone please design continuo…

Just imagine what you could build with 600 Falcon 9 upper stages.

Nothing stopping you — it's still there and still works. I use it for one of my sites.

As mentioned above, adding a viewport meta tag will make most unstyled pages look much better on mobile. > Why are mobile browsers defaults so wrong? History. When mobile browsers …

Are you asking, or are you trying to drum up interest in a product?

Why is this even a federal issue in the US? In Australia time zones and daylight time are solely the responsibility of the states. I don't see why you need the feds involved.

> The only battery power fridge0 needs is enough to turn it off cleanly when the solar panels stop producing -- a few minutes of power instead of days -- and a small amount for its…

Yes, you would think 'conservatives' would be big on conserving "god's creation", but no. Apparently having 'dominion' over nature means killing it, not looking after it. Also, the…

I recently spent a week on an island with almost no ICE vehicles. I saw one small ICE tricycle utility vehicle — all the other vehicles were pushbikes, electric scooters, and horse…

75,052 icons and no way to search any of it. All the data is in the img title attributes, so in-page search doesn't even work on the icons already downloaded. Cool idea though.

> which they need permission to do anything else with Not really. You can run pretty much anything you want if you build for the web.

At the distances involved even the beam from a gigantic laser will be spread out enough not to vaporise anything — you won't need a magic material, just a very large, thin, and hig…

> you can't use these lasers to slow down the probe You can, but you need a couple of solar sails. You beam the laser at the sails to accelerate, then at the halfway point one of t…

Dogs are social beings and have minds. They understand cursing and thanking. Maybe not the actual words, but certainly the emotion behind them.

How old are they? I found with my parents that as they got older they became increasing incapable of using modern computerised technology. The older the tech the easier it was for …

And completely unnecessary. Should be a list of text links.

Singapore is close to the equator (1°17′N) — the days are roughly 12 hours long all year. No, it's not exact. They vary from +3 to +12 minutes. It's close enough ( It's not entirel…

Definitely so. Unless you are on the equator, the sun is up for less than 12 hours a day from the autumnal equinox to the spring equinox. The sun will set before 18:00 local solar …

If the connection fees get too high, people will disconnect. Then they’ll probably ban it.

> you could build enough solar panels that solar output at 18:00 matches power demand No you could not. For half the year the sun has set by 18:00.

I find the opposite: a 24 hr analogue clock shows you directly where you are in the day without any thinking or even looking at the numbers; with digital you always need to do a bi…

Be the change you want to see: start using ‘a third past’ instead of ‘twenty past’ and see what happens.
