Another gas bubbling through the water "knocks" the dissolved gasses out of the water. So the oxygen bubbles up out of the water, along with the argon.

I believe you can make a process noncacheable today, and maybe even disable branch prediction. This would totally shut down Spectre and Meltdown. You can disable SMT, and there's a…

All good points, and certainly if you went entirely off-grid, avoiding a water tap fee is big savings. Though, 110 gallons isn't going to get you very far if you're totally off-gri…

Where does the article suggest the water is wasted? It seems to focus on the savings in terms of reduced demand on the municipal water plant- rainwater doesn't need to be treated- …

It used to be illegal to do anything except direct the rainwater, e.g. direct a downspout into your flower garden. You are now allowed 2 55-gallon rain barrels. The bummer is, even…

The reason it's so fascinating though, is that because it is a many-variable optimization problem where 1) many of the variables conflict and 2) we haven't actually agreed on the d…

Geography still matters because your interests are entwined with where you live, at least so long as you continue to venture out the front door.

Reminds me of water rights. During droughts, huge campaigns against residential water use in California- meanwhile industrial agriculture consumes 80%+ of the water used in the sta…

The only one who can keep up the house is owner, but as you can see in this case they'll just choose to pocket the rent. I don't think it's just a profit thing. If you're a small t…

Naturally, a lone country road designed for speed is fine. It's when you've got a high speed road with lots of on-street parking and pedestrians right next to traffic, even house f…

Speed, in of itself, is not dangerous Certainly! Falling from great height isn't dangerous either, you know.

I think the big picture goal of reducing speeds is much more than putting up a different sign. There's a whole movement out there pushing for denser development, reduced car-driven…

Reducing speeds is a form of collision prevention, is it not? A typical car can just about stop on a dime at 15mph, and a pedestrian has more time to react. There's a whole slew of…

Has there been a rash of failures? Not a meteorologist, but I usually hear that ECMWF & GFS have generally been trading blows, and have different strengths.

Has no one yet tried forking AMP and simply removing all the Google? Call it OpAMP. You might not get into the carousel right off the bat, but if you get the ball rolling you'd hav…

That's why it so perfectly illustrates the problem. The detractors are correct, a website can be made fast without AMP. But that isn't the problem AMP solves. To draw a crude analo…

Post-AMP, it's easy to see why it never got solved before. Many, many detractors commenting along the lines of: I was perfectly able to make my personal website fast; there is no p…

To me, the fact that 'nothing happened' was a very much the point Maybe nothing grand, but it's pretty hard to stomach movies that don't go anywhere at all. I come away wondering, …

The US is certainly too big for some things. But it's definitely not a good argument when we're talking about urban & suburban street design. How big the US is or isn't, means noth…

Ok, so really it's just about targeting a leaner body composition, that makes a lot more sense. Thank you.
