A smaller range that is only 2x the needed range of the average longer distance commuter.

The Nissan Leaf original 80 mile range was perfect for my colleagues that lived in the suburbs and commuted 25+ miles each way every day. Especially with a charger at the work parking deck.

"Home" is an interesting caching location, because per transformer or per neighorhood (especially at a point of going under ground) would likely scale better and provide the same race condition coverage.

For Residential, the race condition is typically on the heat pump first stroke. Smart thermostats with dithered (5 minute wait) starts go a long way for this; home/away schedules reduce collisions more, and then rate based timing adjustments go distance.

But, the problem is still uptake, smart thermostats are only peak reliability as long as there aren't 2 units holding out; and assuming no 2 units have failing capacitors, compressors, or a refrigerant failure at the same time. Real life is more pareto, at least 20% of your neighbors will unmaintained systems.

(Resistive electric water heaters are the next biggest draws, that have a dithered cache based on loss of water temperature; getting all of these units to smaller spot units or heat pump will be a huge step in grid reliability)

They provide automatic saving of comments drafts in case you return. Is it possibly abused by analysis, sure. Do they let you know that they're saving drafts, pretty clearly.

The standard html behavior of only an alert does not handle much of. the user desires.

It's especially interesting because prior to the time of the election, the administration approved food funding to states that GOP run states rejected.

This implies that the money saved by cutting research was fungible and not part of a still increasing deficit, that the government doesn't debt spend, and that there aren't positive externalities (including jobs, education, and supporting services in addition to outcomes from the research.

Indeed, not only did research programs get cut, but so did USDA funding which both balanced farming and put food on table. And this was a year after the previous administration reduced the deficit, sent food funding to states, of which ~13 rejected the funding.

Food funding, which, has been studied to increase economic output beyond it's costs, similar to research funding.

Glass is 30% cheaper to make from recycled glass.

But transport and sorting (glass is hard and sharp) eat into that margin, so presort

It's more hardware intense, but yes, add an rfid tag to each key, use a btle obd dongle, centralize computing in an arduino; phone home to a webserver the last logs.

Then at the end of the month debit each account that used negative gas.

The only thing this misses is encouraging fill-up before empty, but it could give notice when the tank is below ¼ before a trip

This is definitely ¾ of what you pay a mechanic to do; 1 publisher writes a maintenance manual for a car; mechanics all around the globe can use that to work on that specific car.

It's the mechanics that don't reference Google or the Haynes manual that are more likely to get it incorrect.

As a kicker, mechanics also have a pricing book for the task, they know how many hours a task will take on a certain car (rounded up for the most part).

Your comparison reads to suggest that Japan doesn't have Onsen culture or that sauna does not exist in Norway.

That's to say, many cultures from around the globe have developed similar activities that heat the body.

40° internal body temperature is not the same as 40° weather.

Yucatan is not the same as Dubai in Summer.

Your body is under heat shock trying to keep up in a Sauna (that isn't considered warm until 60°). Versus a healthy body CAN keep up in 40°.

The Yucatan equivalent of a Sauna is more like doing hard labor on a roof on a sunny day with no breeze.

And if Sadam did, then by proxy the US did.

It's even worse when your goal is commercial viability of carrying a relatively flammable liquid.

Tankers moving at a slow speed, across a narrow strait.

They don't have to sink to not be commercially viable; a few deck fires negatively impact your days at sea without incident.

You and the poster above disagree about the state of Twitter.

Twitter had been a growth company, it was early/missed the market with Vine, but was showing ad growth.

Now, as a private company, backed by the world's richest man, sovreign wealth funds, and banks that have written down their stakes, it has different economics than a tech / growth company.

It's ad revenue is now, not in the ballpark of the fortune 500 or trendy Instagram ads, but somewhere between reddit and sin site markets.

> Did the maker movement end? I dont think so

Bump.

Because we had our first high profile murder using a 3d printed weapon just last year.
