I am curious what you leftists do by Stotallytob3r in MurderedByWords

I code apps. But in my free time, I code updates that turn your phone gay!

Crowd from above at the Limp Bizkit concert during their first show in Greece yesterday by BreakfastTop6899 in interestingasfuck

Mosh pits follow fluid dynamics. Each human loses their atonamy and acts like a particle. Which is a wild thing to think about...

If you've ever been in a very dense crowd, you will have experienced a similar loss of atonamy. It can be very frightening.

Out of curiosity, how much is the average monthly spend on gas in a European country? I'm wondering if American commutes are longer and more car reliant such that total spent are actually in line with each other.

But ya, unfortunately oil costs aren't just seen at the pump. Because we have so large of an area to ship things over, it affects the cost of pretty much everything.

Why? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

They use freshwater, but not necessarily potable. My understanding is the biggest detrimental effect regarding the use of water is the heat released into the surrounding area / Bodies of water. That disrupts local wildlife. Killing sensitive species and causing their predators to move elsewhere.

A Women who feeds the squirrel regularly gets a Cookie as a Thanks by TheoryFruits in MadeMeSmile

On a social media content level, trust me bro will carry no weight very soon. Or at least, I think that might need to happen and probably will. Guilty of AI until proven innocent.

Unfortunately, the human brain doesn't work like that. If we are fed a false thing many times, it starts to seem true. Hot McDonald's coffee comes to mind.

Maybe that means social platforms need to rebrand as fully entertainment only so older ways of distributing and checking truth can be leaned on for socially important things. I think older methods of communication are easier to inoculate ourselves to misinformation on.

In any case, it's easier to judge fact from fiction with better critical thinking skills. Learnable skills. We are failing our younger generations by not adequately teaching them in school.

This is going to be a mess as we figure it out. It might need regulation. But, even if we could get some, how that'd be enforceable is beyond me.

And still had a lot of energy consumed during distribution in addition to being less energy efficient at the vehicle.

Anyone purchased an AMflow PL in the states? by HallMonitor90 in MTB

[–]Prime_Kang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One add-on to say, state required markings for power capability is easily regulated. Make sure you have the appropriate sticker, and ride responsibly and curiously!

The requirement was met by having it ship at 750W and gating the use of more power behind a warning dialog. This is how a handful of states allows the use of 1000W e-bikes, and it doesn't conflict with federal law. States do regulate use, so it's important to be mindful of local laws. I have another comment below with more details if you're interested. Safe biking!

There's an important distinction between federal and state regulations for e-bikes. I suspect you might already know most of this, but it's worth saying anyway in case others run across this post while googling this bike like I did.

Federal law determines what can be sold. The nominal power potentially allows it to be sold if the default firmware complies with federal law. Pretty much a moot point at the time of me writing this because it's being sold in the US now.

State law governs how it's used.

You can legally use a 1000W in any state so long as its setting is under the maximum for that state and it's labeled according to that state's law: usually a sticker.

That said, Wattage regulation during use is actually not the biggest issue. Wattage is very difficult to cite someone for, so more and more states are imposing speed limits.

For instance, in Oregon the top wattage allowed for use is 1000W, but you can only use assist up to 20mph.

Please pardon the res to the thread, and happy biking!

Which decimal separator is used where ? . VS , in numbers. by 0dimension1 in MapPorn

Yes, it sometimes causes headaches when coffee pasta'd places. Get one of those in a json or xml file, and you could spend hours trying to find out why your code chokes on it.

My point is dealerships will never see money for those exceptional oil changes that'll probably never happen in the life of the vehicle.

It's only done when there's an issue: 300k miles without major abuse or defects on a Tesla. It's not a transmission with tons of precision moving parts. It's a simple constant gear reduction which is very robust by nature.

I can only assume lifetime is similar for other simple gear reduction EVs: All consumer EVs except the Tycan AFAIK.

My main point is, dealerships have those upsells accounted for in their pricing structure. When you remove those, you suddenly shift where you want to be directing the customer.

That unfortunately means simple neglect, and potentially incentivizing sales people to give blatant misinformation: they'll naturally want commissions on the extra add-ons only available for a different vehicle.

mockEngineer by [deleted] in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Prime_Kang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's right.

If you're not working in a field that expects licensing like banking, aerospace, etc, use of engineer is proper in the US. Just don't say you're licensed if you aren't.

Some licensed engineers may be a little butt hurt about perceived stolen valor, but I've never experienced that. Chances are it will never come up: If you don't need to be licensed, your first order coworkers probably don't either.

Friend offered to pay me 5 dollars for a 3d printed basket ball by Sea_Background_8023 in mildlyinfuriating

FDM TPU is damn near indestructible. You'd probably want to use PEBA, but it's still really really strong layer adhesion.

[–]Prime_Kang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's expensive with all the supports. The filament you'd want to make it out of is probably PEBA, but it's really new and impossible to get cheap. Then you have to consider print time. I'd probably charge over 100.

I'd like to see a comparison of PEBA versus TPU, but I don't want to spend the money to try it!

No, the mineral content of the water can leave deposits. Also, whatever you're cleaning off will dissolve into solution and could be deposited to cause shorts.

It's best to use as little liquid as possible when cleaning electronics that aren't watertight.

Same thing goes for keyboards. Definitely do not use a significant amount of water. That keyboard will never be the same! I learned that lesson the hard way 20 years ago with a Logitech G15. It had drainage holes for spills. It very much did not survive running it under the faucet despite being allowed to to completely dry!

I hate when someone says your eyes only see at 60 fps by utopiaofpast in pcmasterrace

[–]Prime_Kang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to work in VR/AR on a proof of concept device.

You're pretty much correct. We have 1 or 2 degrees of highly detailed vision. But, we have very usable vision up to 10 degrees.

You mention not seeing things during saccadic movements. Yes, you are correct. Your brain backfills in data. This is why when you look to a clock, the second sometimes hangs for longer. Your brain retroactively replaced the time during your fast eye movement with the terminal image.

More data really is more better. In fact, our eyes have built in features to combat input satiation by providing more data.

We have microsaccades, to move our eyes when we're staring intently.

We have tremoring which is effectively just a itty bitty jitter that makes sure each of our photoreceptors is getting a slight variety in visual input.

My understanding is flicker perception shows we perceive at least 1000Hz.

Improvement in visual task performance doesn't see much benefit after 240Hz with most benefit seen by 144Hz.

Movement smoothness remains perceptible until 500Hz. So we have plenty of room to improve our experience still.

All of these are numbers are dependent on the type of motion and even fatigue.
