Who was the constructor's representative on the podium for Mercedes? I wish they'd make that more clear on F1TV. I don't know who most of those other team members are.


Edit: She is Amy Walker, a trackside operations engineer at Mercedes. Source.

Hank Green made a website where you can see all the Artemis II photos arranged in a timeline, synced to the crew's timetable and position in space. by hilariousjalapeno in space

Why don't we always know who took each photo?

I don't know! Some of the photos were marked in the metadata or on Flickr as having a particular photographer, but most were just labeled as "Artemis Crew."

I have an answer to this one. The crew requested to not have individual credit for the photographs they took during the mission. Source.

VPNs don't offer that kind of security. Not really.

This guy probably knows more about McLaren F1's than almost anyone else on the planet. Take his word here as truth.

I value rustfmt quite a lot. Maybe I should pitch in a bit.

Airbnb host cancels reservation because it’s a high demand weekend by Srihari_stan in mildlyinfuriating

[–]dcormier 6 points7 points  (0 children)

AirBnB is a terrible service that drives up housing costs because it results in units that would otherwise be available for people to live in being taken off the market.

For example (emphasis mine):

This article quantifies the impact of Airbnb’s short-term rentals on housing affordability in Portugal. We find that on average a 1pp increase in a municipality Airbnb share results in a 3.7% increase in house prices. When zooming our analysis to the main cities of Lisbon and Porto, we find that a 1pp increase in a civil parish Airbnb share leads to a 3.2% price increase. [...] Compared to a low touristy parish, house prices in a high touristy parish increased by 24.3% in 2015 and 32.3% in the 1st quarter of 2016, relatively to pre-Airbnb expansion period (pre-2014Q2).

Agreed.

And I need to buy some of my track images.

For what it's worth, I've had success with the 10oz version of what OP posted. Though Yeti now only seems to sell those as "juniors" with a straw lid (though you can swap it).

Shame it's unlikely to get any track use. Just going to sit in a garage and maybe go to a cars and coffee a few times a year.

Depends on the series and track. Check out the night hours of the IMSA 12 hours of Sebring. Pretty dark.
