Laguna Seca, a fairly famous California race track, was opened in 1957 built out in the middle of nowhere. In 2024, people that moved near the racetrack sued to get it shut down.

I know there's some level of caveat emptor when buying a house, and realtors are guaranteed to not have any showings when it's noisy, but maybe just spell it out and the purchaser needs to be made aware.

I'd be more worried about all the leaded gas that GA planes use.

Oh no, there are all these old engine that can't use unleaded gas. The hobby pilots just have no choice but to continually dust the surrounding area with lead vapors. They certainly can't be forced to update their engines/aircraft. Cry me a river.

Oil, natural gas, corn (for fuel), soybeans (for cattle feed)

From the bubble center plot, I'm guessing that the bubbles are separated on average about a few mm apart? Taking the other comment's guess at face value, you're going from about 2 mm to 20 um, so 2 orders of magnitude. Air (technically SF6 in the article) and water (RBC is close enough) have acoustic impedances that differ by 3.5 orders of magnitude.

My assumptions here are *extremely generous*, i.e. favorable to the "oh, we'll just make it work with natural contrast", and even then, they can't hand wave 5-6 orders of magnitude of improvement. Furthermore, because of the use of super resolution, I'm guessing there's some exponential factor in there, i.e. double the density of bubbles/tracking points past some critical limit, then you need 8x the data to reconstruct things.

This is old (2025).

Fortune links to a BBC article, which doesn't really provide any more detail about the testing conditions. I wonder if rubbing a bar of soap on your windows would reflect light and be easier to wash off. Also, were the windows tested low-E or not?

I still don't understand why programmers seemed to get off on this sort of shit. Doing `while((dest++ = src++));` is great and all (maybe fine because it's kinda idiomatic now, but should you really be using that over `strncpy`?), but being clever like that in real code makes it harder to review, and harder to understand months down the line. I've mentally cussed out 'whoever wrote this confusing shit' to only `git blame` myself.

Isn't this true for people as well?

Why would this be any different from dropping a coin or other small metal object? If you're worried about ultrasonic noise pollution, nearly every SMPS operates there, and they're constantly running.

Don't know adding, but multiplication has diagram on the last page of the PDF.

xy = eml(eml(1, eml(eml(eml(eml(1, eml(eml(1, eml(1, x)), 1)), eml(1, eml(eml(1, eml(y, 1)), 1))), 1), 1)), 1)

From Table 4, I think addition is slightly more complicated?

Ever play Doom (2016)? It's about renewable energy.

Pesky little--very minor--side effect that it's extracted from Hell, and using it causes the denizens of Hell to spill over to our side. One would say they are "unleashed".

By raising the price of oil so much, our dear leader is trying his level best to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels.

The US military is extremely good at doing specific objectives. All militaries are garbage at changing hearts and minds.

That's what diplomacy is for.

Nowadays it's about efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Sure, 99% of the time a Shahed-136 might "lose" against a Patriot, but a Patriot missile costs 200x what a Shahed does.

Laser and EWar approaches are going to be more successful long-term as the price per "shot" is dramatically less, but deployments are slow.
