I think what it's missing is the full lack of cars. You still don't own your streets in SF! The few days Valencia street was closed to traffic in lockdown, for example, were incred…

Sunpower. Here's a list of panels sorted by efficiency: (just one I've been using while researching for a project) https://www.energysage.com/solar-panels/?noidx=true&sort_by=... I…

I'm a bit stumped about how to look for vulnerabilities for this. The linked tool, https://github.com/Forescout/project-memoria-detector doesn't mention the exploit and there's no …

My understanding is that a ballot measure must be modified only by ballot measure. Adding in a 7/8ths clause is a way of allowing, with difficulty, the legislature to change things…

As of now it appears to still be up: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/donotpay/id1427999657

Yeah, the headline seems to imply it’s some new ‘big bad’ where the article just slowly exposes that it’s a non-explosive missile. Killing fewer people by not combusting the surrou…

Actually, yes. At least anecdotally– I _had_ to do this when my iPhone 5's lightning port was damaged. When traveling overseas a cheap charger died, partially frying my lightning p…

+1 agreed– just a toggles for 'disable traffic optimization' and 'prefer 2+ lane roads' would do the trick. I'm definitely adding a pretty bad outlier to real-time traffic data abo…

It may feel super cozy and normal when driving a car around– but the reality is that it's a metal multi-ton piece of heavy machinery. I'm sympathetic to your plight but.. really it…

Low Earth Orbit.

> and it's why I no longer ride my bike in the city anymore So is your response to just drive a car then? That's a most-poignant tragedy of the commons.

I've met [Phil Sadow]( https://www.fastcompany.com/90209541/meet-the-renegade-whos-... ) the other day in Berkeley, he's pretty fully p0wned the S,3,X systems and replaced the tesl…

It's true, well done planet. [google maps view]( https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mobjack+Bay/@37.3314833,-7... )

You're not wrong, and this is the same argument used in regards to bicycling. Something I hear all the time: 'You ride in this city?! Isn't it super dangerous?' When the solution i…

It's a great example of the breakdown in understanding of a system. People envision WiFi as a wireless pipe or cable whereas in reality you're broadcasting in every direction out t…

Those 'ultrasonic deterrents' should be completely illegal to deploy on/near any publicly accessible property. Having run into them many times over the years here in the US they're…

Sure: amazon.com/gp/product/B00HPIYJWU is the door sensor and amazon.com/gp/product/B00E1OVFAK are the dimmers I have.

Yes, it seems like Control 4 was the root of his problem. My architect aunt always builds homes with similar expensive and locked-in systems and although they do seem to last relia…

This is the only article of original substance on the internet, everyone else copied pieces from it. I still can't find an answer (or even anyone asking the question): How does it …

Will homebrew switch the default install location out of /usr/local for new installations then? I doubt most developers will want to dive into recovery mode just to install wget.

Thanks for this! I offered a FaceTime tour of our scientific robotics labs. When I was in middle school learning and playing with electronics I would've loved that.

Boost ASIO for me. The ability to single threaded high-speed servers and then to extend to multithreaded with a things like thread pools and atomic stores is invaluable.

"This model makes strong and as yet not fully tested predictions, namely that females are the primary carriers in cases of genetic transmission" No kidding. Quite interesting thoug…

The writing on this one is much nicer! Add selective erase so only one character is (usually) ever erased and you've got yourself a very neat novelty clock.

you need some skills to bring the truck to a successful stop True, but that's skill most drivers don't have. Add in-wheel pressure and temperature sensors-- plus scheduled maintena…
