Thanks, that second paper is helpful. The OP is really the proof that passive Wifi is actually useful. In my opinion, the real advance here is in that second paper you cite, the fact that they've built Wifi enabled devices that are powered by the Wifi signal itself.


>I heard that airliners can't land with a full load of fuel and they have to dump it to land in an emergency

I think the main reason they do that is that way there's less stuff to burn if there's a fire or explosion.


No the main reason is with equal weight it is way harder on the airframe to land than take off.

Electric airplanes are small so it's not as a big of a deal, but it will limit their ability to scale.


> Several companies (Graphenea etc) have scaled up CVD and continue to work towards much lower $ / m^2 targets in the near future.

What is the approximate commercial cost of CVD-produced graphene sheets?



Wow, cool. I imagine in volume it's within a factor of two or so of that?


I'm no expert, but one major distinction I can see is that libclang would be used in (editor) process, and a clangd server would operate outside the editor process and communicate over a protocol with the editor.


I have an extra one that still works. If anyone is interested in it, please let me know. I will send it to you if you pay for shipping.


I'd like it.


> looks like they've excluded areas with more tourists If it's anything like NYC they did this to avoid upsetting the existing bike rental businesses in those areas. They need to do this to get local government buy-in of the program.


This is exactly the case. My understanding is that they've pitched themselves as a commuting solution to get approval, and the local tourist bike rental places complain as they get closer to the standard tourist biking areas of Golden Gate Park and the bridge.

Edit: The lack of bikeshare on 24th street is a separate issue with Calle 24, which could reasonably be called NIMBYism.


> For now, electric ships make most sense in populated waterfront areas where they can be recharged easily and improve air quality and noise pollution

And probably requires a duty cycle that can afford sitting at a dock for hours a day to recharge, right? So passenger ferries (that typically don't run 24-hours a day)?


It spends ten minutes at the dock charging on each trip.


Yeah, I don't think she gets nothing. She was paid a salary for many years, I would't be surprised if it was a pretty hefty one. There were probably other perks, too (wasn't she known to fly private for business trips?). It looks like she simply relinquished some equity that probably wasn't worth very much anyway. This settlement doesn't look like much of a deterrent to future would-be fraudsters.


I believe there have been some studies that show that artificial sweeteners affect your insulin response to real sugar, but I think it's far from settled science.



But why consult reviews when you can rely on anecdotes?


I'm not sure how scientific it is but when my wife and I got into keto we bought several sweeteners and did glucose testing at home.

The tricky thing is some artificial sweeteners spiked mine, while others triggered hers.

So it isn't enough to say "artificial sweeteners do | do not", you'd need to test your own reactions via blood glucose testing. So many pin pricks. Neat data though.


Agreed, this has been my experience as well - and what I've read from others too.


There's a lot more detail in the linked paper.
