Wow, and the auto renew clause and right to change pricing without notice

Cool article and nice to learn more about the history in Asia. Giant bamboo is great to work with. Myself, an American, and an Argentinian guy build a guadua (word for giant bamboo in Colombia at least) gazebo/shelter as part of a work exchange in Colombia. Fishmouth joints for days, literally. I loved seeing other high rise buildings being built in the area with guadua scaffolding and framing (from what I recall, may be a mix of materials do not remember). There are a lot of academic research articles with giant bamboo building techniques but this is, of course, very geographic dependent.

Can’t really tell if this is tongue in cheek but starting a company doesn’t make one CEO. It makes them a partner/owner but typically CEO needs a board of directors etc

Always thought it was kind of cool how Feynman writes about, when learning calculus and maths as a younger student, would create and use his own symbols for things and how it worked well for him. But kind of realized if he was going to enter the scientific community would need to conform to the standardized notation/symbols for equations etc.

As seen on a sticker posted at a Topdog in Berkeley, "Do what you're told, it'd be chaos if we all thought for ourselves".

At least it gives us all a way of seeing what the link pages look like after completion.

This is not commented in response to any posting unless I'm missing something?

Do you anticipate a pricing model or feature addition for making links "do follow"?

I’m curious how combustion temperatures are lowered like you say - is it a pv=nrt relationship hinging on changes in compression ratio or something like injector technology?

Ford and VW put a naturally aspirated diesel into their vehicles up until the early/mid 90s.

I disagree the diesel crowd doesn’t discuss air/fuel ratios but perhaps I’m misunderstanding something. Sizes and types of turbos, fuel pumps, injector nozzles are frequently discussed. I do agree rolling coal is dumb but most/many daily diesel drivers don’t like it either, have always seen it as kind of a high school thing.
