Small? The Appalachians today are the resting skeleton of a mountain range so tall and enduring that the mud and sand that washed off them piled miles high and formed the Catskill mountains. The Appalachians were so mighty that their garbage formed mountains
Yes, it is still a quartz watch. The oscillator is still a quartz oscillator. However the mechanism which advances the second hand is replaced with onethat does not need to tick.
The kind of quartz watch is no longer a ticking quartz watch, it is a non-ticking quartz watch.
As for the specific wording of the article, I would assume the authoris not fully versed in partsof quartz watches, and does not know that the oscillator which keeps time is different from the stepping motor which moves the hands.
This invention targets only replacing the stepping motor, not the oscillator.
Thats exactly the proposition. Eliminate tifking quartz watches in favor of non-ticking quartz watches.
Say goodbye to the quartz watches that do tick replace them with ones that do not tick
French innovator aims to consign ticking quartz watches to history
The ‘ticking’ is what is being consigned to history. The article is about an alternative to ‘ticking quartz watches’, a non-ticking quartz watch
Its the ‘ticking’ part of ticking quartz
My understanding is that google doesn’t report that the review has been made, so developers justset a flag internally. Going to leave a review, then clicking back, should be sufficient
No bike friendly city, and very few advocates for them, are suggesting to ban motor vehicles entirely. Rather, we can structure infrastrucrue to serve both, instead of just cars.
A 4 lane stroad can be turned into a two lane, limited access road with protected, separated bike lane and a median. This actually improves auto throughput, travel times, and emissions.
A 2 lane residential street can have restricted parking, narrower right of way, and wide rsidewalks. This naturally slows cars, making shared right of way safer for all.
A pedestrian zone can have moveable bollards, so that deliveries and mobility services can still access, whil keeping the street safe for people.
In all these cases, its not about bulldozing buildings, its about changing the way we use existing land.
Theres a lot of people that pretend the opposite, as well. We are all biased towards the thing we like. Its obvious cities are popular, because they are expensive. Its also obvious suburbs are popular, because they alsoare axpensive.
What people mostly wish is that more city could be built, becausethe demand forcity living is still highar than that for suburbs.
I see this meh-meh come up occasionally, and I’m always amused because designers are constantly looking at the competition and adjusting to suit. Why do you think all sebtites look the same?
The one wheel works by having the rider lean in a direction to go that way. The more you lean, the faster it goes. It balances by pushing the rider in that direction. The trick is when you are leaning and going very fast, but then the board loses power and can’t push you anymore. Then the board nose dives and ejects you. Its the physics of the board, so they can warn you it might happen, but not prevent it.
99% invisible just did an episode on skyscraper conversion. Its farily complicated.
Programing is a lot less important than people and team dynamics
haskell is one of the mathematically founded functional languages, which is a whole family of loosely related languages that have seen lower uptake over the years. Other examples include ML and variants, and F#.
There are a few reasons why adoption has been slow:
Many of these are seeing some change. Haskell is getting better at outreach and comercial focus, and Rescript (ml for the web) has a lot of syntactical similarity to ja|ascript.
Whoa, hey, I just came back to this post and saw your edit. I’m really impressed by the way you listened to feedback and icorporated it in your stance.
And hey, these behaviours and the industries supporting them are really damaging. And fightinig those industries will require individuals to change behaviour. If we take action to live car free now, then dismantling the fossil fuel industry won’t affect us as much later.
Lets assume one dairy farm serves 2000 people. In order to limit the emissions from the farm, you must either regulate the farm, or convince 2000 people to give up dairy.
In your time as an advocate, how many people have you convinced to give up dairy? How long would it take to convice all dairy consumers?
Making a policy out of this introduces a choice in enforcement tho:
is it more feasible to make sure every individual brings their own flatware, or is it more feasible to make sure taco bell doesn’t stock flatware?
A lot of the time, these things boil down to supply side vs demand side, and regulating the supply side ends up being the better choice.
decimal inches is basically only used in machining. The only time ive ever seen it is in schematics and an indicators.
This is the very first thing I thought of when I saw cybertruck
None at all. He also doesn’t understend that the issues tesla has faced are largely due to poor process design rather than automotive design. The plans may call for small gaps ore big gaps, but they certainly don’t call for iconsistent gaps
This is just another study confirming what has been known for years. MLE is the multicultural expansion of cockney. Much of the accent survives, but has been modified by exposure to many cultures. Its been identified as the dominant native london accent foresomething like a decade.
