    Saw a Tesla semi today

    Probably this one: https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/electric-trucks-are-worse-than-diesel-trucks/ But it's not "cough" quite accurate. 1) There's no reason that an electric truck should take longer to recharge than a Tesla Model 3. It just has more battery cells - you just need a bigger...

    N/A Anyone try the Oculus Quest yet?

    Also a cool title: I Expect You To Die A spy puzzle solving game. Break into a lab, fix a submarine escape pod etc. It only takes about 3 hours to finish the game, but it's worth it if other people in your household can also play it. It's actually a game you can play while seated.

    NWS threatens to "throttle" access to wx data to save bandwidth

    I was involved in a Satellite that we sent up in the late 90's that provided internet access for users from Egypt to the Philippines. At some point it carried like 90% of the residential internet traffic from Kuwait & Saudi Arabia. (And yeah, the majority of that traffic was exactly what you...

    Why are airplane engine TBO hours so low?

    Back-of-the-napkin check: Continental IO-520 weight: 184kg Rotax 300 HP 1630 86kg, Tesla 10kWh - 62kg, Tesla 362 HP electric motor: 31kg = 179kg The math checks out - just needs a bit of engineering. Unlike with pure electric, which isn't supported by current science. Note, this isn't the...

    Why are airplane engine TBO hours so low?

    Or gas-electric hybrids. Once you have a super-reliable Electric motor, you can put in an automotive-grade gasoline engine to power it, and then provide a battery backup. You just need enough battery backup to cover an engine failure at low altitude. Maybe 30 mins. Combination of those would...

    Chinese boom in GA Market & Development

    In fact the Gini coefficient (measure of income inequality) of China is pretty close to the US. 0.465 in China compared to 0.48 in the US. (Perfect equality would be 0. One person having all the wealth in a country would be 1.0.). Cuba at some point was at 0.2. Russia is now at 0.88. Most of...
