This!

I don’t know how many people are aware of this; but LONG before anyone talked about electric cars, Chinese people have been putting electric motors on bicycles and trikes en mass. Last time I visited back in 2006, electric bikes and trikes out numbered pedal-powered bikes by a large margin.

In the grand scheme of things, *quality* of OEM headlights is a trivial matter. They all work at normal driving speed.

How long does the battery last? Or are these “dogs” powered by a giant battery hidden inside the box truck?

Over a dozen years ago, I came up with the idea of covering the moon with remote-controlled reflectors, and use it as a giant billboard.

That’s called running a yellow; not against the law.

A person walks into the dealership; he looks at Veloster, finds it attractive; sales guy says “you know, for a few dollars more per month, you can get this special edition with more power and everything”.

Someone who doesn’t have internet.

I thought so too; but I can’t find a better explanation for what’s happening; why does it help to reduce the sampling frequency at output stage? Hard for me to imagine the MP3 compression algorithm let you down sample *before* decoding. So the only explanation I had was the CPU can decode fast enough, but had trouble…

My second computer had a 486 DX-33; it was too slow to play MP3 at 44k hz, so I had to play all my songs at half sampling rate. Not sure why the CPU is the bottleneck; I suspect maybe the sound card of that time require lots of work from CPU?

It’s a short-term vs long-term profit thing. I used to fly a lot. Say to go from Los Angeles to Las Vegas; why drive 5 hours, when you can fly in 2 hours? Sure I still have to spend time to go to the airport, and spend time waiting, but it’s easier to sit there and relax than to drive.

I have no problem with people in front of me reclining his/her seat during flight; I can do the same. I do have a big problem with people keeping their seats reclined during takeoff and landing, after repeated call from the PA system, and on a few occasions, after being told in person by a flight attendant repeatedly.…

That’s literally how some news paper will print.

I’m more impressed with the very large span of the hanger. Can’t have supporting columns in the middle, I assume.

I think the advantage is mainly the thin air at 35,000ft. Rockets use a lot of fuel to push through dense air in lower altitude. Max Q (i.e. maximal dynamic pressure) on typical rockets happens around 35,000-46,000ft. By starting off at 35,000ft, you skip the most fuel-intensive part of the journey.

It is a gravel road, so it just take some gravel, a shovel, and a good tamper.

Nobody knows.

This is nothing new. I live on a private road. We patch potholes as soon as they show up. There is no discussion, no planning, no tax increase, no bond sale, no HOA due, no delay. A pothole appears; some one patches it; could be me; could be my neighbor; could be anyone.

Meanwhile, we keep on getting fatter. I see how this is going.
