Off topic but I bet you could tell the difference between an espresso shot pulled after stirring the grounds to ensure even distribution vs one that hasn't been messed with. I'm not saying you can tell the difference between stirring with a toothpick vs stirring with tiny metal tines. You can actually observe a difference in how the water flows through the grounds, you can measure how much coffee has been extracted into the water with a refractometer, and you can do a blind taste test and identify which is which. If the grounds are not evenly distributed, you get channels where the water passes through under high pressure, and this over extracts those grounds making the shot taste extremely bitter, and other grinds are left untouched or under extracted. I was very skeptical of this until I observed it myself.

Somewhat off topic but how does one make that cool 3D architecture diagram?

For what it's worth, my Model 3 from December 2018 with 35K miles on it has only had one issue (with squeaking upper control arms) and they replaced it under warranty, coordinated through the mobile app. I haven't had any other issues that would indicate build quality is terrible.

I think a machine learning algorithm wouldn't care about that, because with a large enough training data set it would start to account for that and be able to accurately predict energy output based on the image alone.

Is there an advantage to attaching the filter to the front of the fan so air is blown through it (as shown in the video) versus taping it to the back of the fan so air is sucked through it? Just curious if that would make any difference. It might be easier to get the filter to stay if it's getting sucked to the fan.

I used to live on the UWS and remember Citrus. Never encountered Coastal but do recall an eclectic menu. (No burritos though!)

I run into answers by Erwin Brandstetter on StackOverflow just about every time I search for something related to Postgres. I’m curious about his background and how he became such an expert in this area... it’s inspiring and extremely helpful!
