I just go with the simple "References available on request" and have had the same results (nobody ever ends up asking for them).

Also almost the exact width (between the legs) of a server rack -- hence the "Lack Rack"[1]

Yep, absolutely correct (d'oh).

The facilities from the '88 games (Calgary) are similarly still actively used for training and by the public.

edit: '88 not '86

I think it's one of those local slang terms -- because I knew exactly what you meant.

I wouldn't really call the Model S a sports car, it's more in line with say the MB S or SL AMG cars, a highway-eating monster.

I've found IEM-style headphones are better. Since they already block out some of the ambient noise by plugging your ears, much lower volume levels are required to block out distractions.

How so? Sharing this information is a condition of operating in an area. If that is unprofitable, Uber won't operate there.

> Only lame old decrepit acts use Ticketmaster anyway

... and a few little sports leagues like the NFL, NBA, and NHL (for primary sales).

Growing up in Alberta, the Red Solo Cup has also been a staple of every house party I've ever been to.

That seems to me to pretty severely contravene reddit's basic philosophy.

Aren't there still benefits to running at lower speeds? Electric motors aren't magic frictionless devices, higher speeds must still produce increased wear and heat.

It's hard to define 'paddle driven' cars, since of course any automatic transmission car could have paddles that allow manual shifting.

I assume you're talking about the paddle-shifted transmissions found Ferraris, Lamborghinis, BMWs etc. in the recent past. These in fact are the opposite of 'clutchless'. They were basically manual transmissions electronically controlled and with the clutch and shifting actuated by hydraulics.

Nowadays they use some variety of dual-clutch transmission.

That doesn't seem feasible for an entire city at all.

It's not really a static blacklist as such. Sites are added and fall off of it regularly.

Interesting -- most water softener setups I have seen are only plumbed into the hot water, I've been told that this is because drinking softened water is not recommended.

> The battle of blair mountain is a clear example of what happens when workers demand fair treatment in America. They didn't just send the army in to break the strike, they sent the air force.

The air force? in the 1920s?

There's a difference between having a warranty, and getting work paid for by a warranty.

> Many asked for ... more voice control,

Colour me skeptical

I was going to say: "But what about the quadrant system?" until I took a look and saw that apparently all of Edmonton is in the NW quadrant. That's some great city planning.

> Crazies or people who actually care about environment?

The environment???

Fluoride, like many minerals, is naturally occurring in many water sources, just not (all) of the ones that are used for drinking water. Additionally, the concentration of fluoride for this purpose is minuscule (0.7 mg/L according to Health Canada).

Which is owned by Google.

Well sure it could turn out like Google+ vs Facebook or it could turn out like Google Maps vs Mapquest or Gmail vs Hotmail.

Oh, is that all?! ;)

The TV tendencies are even more confusing, where "dog people" watch both super-masculine (entourage, duck dynasty) and feminine (The Voice) shows (and cat people are apparently the stereotypical geek).

No I understand your argument, I'm just trying to illustrate how small a part of the tail professional sports really is (turns out it's small but not that small).

It's not as ridiculous as you think. To continue to abuse the hockey analogy, there are ~979000 registered hockey players in the US and Canada[1]. There are 30 NHL teams, each with a contract limit of 50, for a total of 1500 players. That's 0.153% of all hockey players in North America.

EDIT: Need to read better, that's an order of magnitude off so it is a bit ridiculous.

I guess the reasoning behind the conclusion is here:

> When Hosoi compared the R values of FanDuel contests to actual professional sports teams, she found that the outcomes of real-life sports involved less skill and more randomness than

> their fantasy corollaries (with the exception of basketball, whose many opportunities to score reduce its randomness). In fantasy hockey, skilled contestants will succeed slightly more often than elite NHL teams will. In a real-world hockey game, a weird puck bounce can lead to a fluke goal.

> Because hockey games are relatively low-scoring, moments of randomness can have an outsized impact on the outcome of a matchup. To a lesser extent, the same is true in baseball and football, both games where scoring opportunities can be hard to come by.

But I think that's a flawed conclusion. The article notes that many unskilled players play daily fantasy as well. In the NHL (to continue the example), every single player and team is elite compared to all hockey players. If NHL teams played minor and rec league teams, their records would be stunningly lopsided.

Well, they fixed the math but now unfortunately the sentence is now ridiculous:

> if my math is correct, means building the damn thing is costing Tesla $55.6 per square foot. And that’s just the estimated cost of the contracts so far.

Based on a quick look[1] that's a totally average price per square foot for an industrial building. AMAZING.

Is that the right link? There are no other engineering fields on that graph.
