@ramez I don't think there's a time where we settle for self driving cars being as dangerous as average human drivers. It makes sense to me that they would need better sensors than we use to be much safer drivers.

@drvolts At least partly because it's not practical to cool with existing radiators, right? (Condensation problems are serious, mini split heads are built to deal with this).

@LumberTrading Hopefully that excitement is longer lasting though, my 11 year old boy makes fun of them every chance he gets. . .

@pescami @mattyglesias @HistoryBoomer Worse how? I'm genuinely curious, what's the metric here, if this is 5% slower on an average city trip but 50 % less likely to be involved in an accident (from one very small number to an even smaller number of incidents) how do you value that?

@Tyler_A_Harper @ringofsour As someone who runs 100 milers, I recognize this as a similar obsession (even though it seems slightly nuts to me).

@MountainRoche @BRider9 I really liked this one, I found it to be the most illuminating interview with you recently. Particularly interesting that you have to be working pretty hard to need the 120+ g of carbs that you're eating in a race like that.

@aidstationfireb Rooting for Ludo to make his way through what's left of this field!

@mattyglesias People (ok, liberals) display a crazy double standard when they think it's wonderful to heat your house 90F above ambient temperatures in Maine or Vermont, but dangerous to use far less energy and cool your house 40F below ambient in Arizona.

@robertwiblin Are there good examples of people willing to take big risks when appropriate but play conservatively when that's the right move?

[Zak Steigmeyer @slackmeyer]

@robertwiblin It seems (from listening to interviews with Nate) that most of his subjects have risk tolerances in a narrow range, which sometimes works well and sometimes doesn't.

@mattyglesias Now go to a supermarket in Italy and try to find American (or even cheddar) cheese slices, or tortillas, etc. America not only has the supply chains, but the culture to appreciate global food.

@drvolts We were other places in Europe this summer and Booking seemed to have better options with far fewer extra fees across the board.

@jgault13 What!!!

[Zak Steigmeyer @slackmeyer]

@LombardTrucking I do this a couple times a week. Often I listen to Odd Lots while I run. Results are mixed.

[Zak Steigmeyer @slackmeyer]

@pescami Yeah sad but true. People on both sides seem to lose their minds a bit on this issue. Maybe because full inclusivity is explicitly not the goal of women's sport.

@jdcmedlock All these people fantasy drafting politicians. What about Tom Hanks? Can't he bring the country together like we all want?

[Zak Steigmeyer @slackmeyer]

@mattyglesias Those were great days. I'd love to see more push for speed cameras next. Of course, the two go together. . .

@drvolts If it's an air/water heat pump, is it made to work in cold climates and keep the coolant loop from freezing?

[Zak Steigmeyer @slackmeyer]

@drvolts Can it use multiple thermal batteries so that it can provide space cooling at the same time as water heating?

[Zak Steigmeyer @slackmeyer]

@drvolts Where is the control of the unit? Can it learn your heating/hot water use and the typical amount of solar power available to perform better?
