Mine lags a lot. I would guess its because the its doing a rolling count. So my heart rate is dropping rapidly. (right after an activity)

The think I learnt about my fitbit HR tracker is that its not accurant when you check instantaneously. But the pattern is reliable. For me when I am viewing live it lags by about 30 seconds. Depending on how healthy you are that might make it seem unreliable. Very healthy people will recover their heart rate very…

Don’t know where you live but here in California PG&E derives about 60% of their electricity from non-greenhouse producing sources (30% renewable and 25% Nuclear). Of the remaining a majority is natural gas (http://www.pge.com/en/about/envir…)

Or build a wall around it. Make Detroit pay for it.

Build a Wall! Make Canada pay for it.

Sorry! I misunderstood. Yes in that aspect you are 100% right. We are more or less attacking form the “sides”.

Thats not really true. AVRs (anti retroviral) drugs are in their 5th generation and are extremely sophisticated. Most work by binding to specific parts of the HIV virus and preventing it from doing it thing. Instead of thinking of AVR’s as a bomb think of it as a computer virus that attacks HIV (ignore the irony of…

I am against giving students $1200 laptops for school. At work its an indispensable tool, I just think a chromebook is a great tool for students need. A computer for research and school work.

I am all for Macs and am possibly the biggest Mac and OS X fan and believe that anyone worth they job should be on a Mac.

I totally forgot about the ILX. Yes thats a very good example of badge engineering.

Acura specifically is not badge engineering. Honda and Acura share platforms but its not exactly badge engineering.

Not really. State University are still amazing deals. My Alma mater San Jose State University (another name for California Sate University, San Jose) cost me less than 3500/year 10 years back. The cost has gone up to 7500/year for tuition now which is still an incredible deal.

Just a quick point for those shopping: You can add the Nav and the APP control to any trim level (you basically buy SD cards). So you could get the Base and still have the NAV and App control.

I dont think its about the actual performance. I am simply talking about the uniqueness. It like driving an Accura TL. You can claim as much as you want that the FWD of the TL is better than a Civic. But the RWD 3-series will never let you forget that the TL is basically a very nice Accord.

Personally for me the issue is that Its no longer Unique. The current Honda CR-V has a similar layout.

Personally for me the biggest issue is that the new AWD system is no different than what you can find in a 20K Kia Sedona. In fact the Honda has has this Quasi AWD since 1997 (the Realtime 4WD in the Honda CR-V).

A head on collision where two vehicles are exactly positioned is extremely rare. You are better off testing against a wall. (which is actually how a crash test is done).

I do agree. I think production versions will look better. As far as I know this is a DARPA test vessel.

I think only flying drones look “cool”. Just the way plane designers work. I believe they start with the shape of the plane first before any engineering work goes into it.

In today’s world parchment, Ink, maintaining horses and training men to ride them are much more expensive than having a 23 year with a cellphone.
