My head canon is after some politics they decided to severely limit Space OSHA. They’re just so understaffed they can’t bother to have any oversight of starships even after report after report of preventable violations keep getting added to the backlog.
They see what’s happening in Ukraine where a <$100 drone can kill an enemy soldier. The KDR for their drone aces are insane.
Eh there are plenty of places that have less population density than the US but they do just fine with transit. It might be true that most US cities are poorly designed for transit, but the density isn’t a the reason.
This was my splurge purchase when the startup I was in got acquired.
Eh ER is choose your own difficulty. It can be really easy or impossibly hard based on the limitations you place on yourself.
And the tune comes from Bruce Hornsby’s The Way It Is which references the civil rights movement. Also sampled by Got Rice.
Oh I was only addressing this:
Road bicycles like the ones used in the Tour de France use pressures in the 120-140 psi range,
GCN has a number of videos on this subject: https://youtu.be/jTZfrBVr5pQ?si=M5v6KP5ZZ9ZU5MXz

And here is some technical data from SRAM: https://www.sram.com/globalassets/publicsites/cms-campaign-pages-not-story-pages/zipp/totalsystemeffeciency/pdf-downloads/tse-explained2.pdf
Basically new data includes vibration losses which get larger as pressure increases. There’s a sweet spot to balance between rolling resistance (which decreases with pressure) and vibration (which increases with pressure). So when you mention ride comfort as a trade off, it actually has a much larger effect than you might imagine.
Yeah it’s because the theory has been that high pressure decreases tire deformation and this is more efficient. This is where the wisdom of under inflated tires become less efficient. However lower pressure (like 80-90 psi) allows bicycle tires to absorb road imperfections and vibrations which actually ends up slightly more efficient. But if you go too low efficiency will be negatively affected.
Airplane tires actually have very high pressures to prevent hydroplaning, which is more important than ride quality or fuel efficiency for them.
Yes fuel economy. Energy expended per distance traveled or power needed to maintain a given speed. Just the fuel in this case is burned by your own body.
At world class levels, a few watts here and there will make a big difference by the end of a race.
Probably less these days as it’s shown lower pressures and larger tires can improve performance.
This is really hard to read? Should probably stack the user share.
Supply chain makes the most sense. It’s not like pagers are used super commonly and I doubt they have good margins. Would be pretty easy to sneak something in.
They’ll be advertising in China with all those extra men.
The only benefit I can see is if you don’t take anything back down the gravity well. Build up manufacturing directly in space.
Feel like they took inspiration from the super fast missile shaped drones that makers have been building recently.
So you’d need to be able to radiate more heat away than you absorb from the sun (and generate from computing). You can reduce sun absorption by being more reflective. For the heat you do absorb and generate, you’ll need to concentrate the heat from all the systems into a radiator that gets very hot. The hotter something is the more it’ll radiate away. It’s hardly a simple design but it’s really the only option.
So you’re saying they had a… cook off?
Yeah but a baby has to be in the correct orientation and has to change orientation as it traverses the birth canal otherwise you’ll run into issues. An egg is rotationally symmetric along an axis so it’s much easier to push out. It’ll naturally rotate into the correct orientation and doesn’t need to be rotated.
