If you slow the bike from either the front wheel or the back wheel, energy is removed from the whole bike. There's little to no benefit from harvesting from both wheels.

All the resistance is from only the rear wheel. So its like rear wheel breaking, and potential lock ups in the wet. Surely its better to spread the load. Also means twice the surface contact. Wouldn't that be better, perhaps safer, to ride? Especially in the wet.

But the extra cost and complexity, even weirder look, extra wires. For emergency braking, keep the regular front brake. For minor speed adjustments the rear brake will get the job done.

As I understand it, if you ar a resident of the another country as defined for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (330 days a year outside the US _or_ have permanently settled with no evidence of intention to return to the US), you are exempted from the insurance requirements.

This really sucks for people who leave the US long durations (8 months in my case) at a time, but return occasionally. Have to either get insurance for the 8 months that isn't usable, or pay the fine.

In the leaked Rogers video, they say "OK Google now, what is the weather." Maybe that is the keyphrase?

If so. that would be incredibly annoying. To many syllables to simply for triggering the listen event. How about they ditch the product branding requirement and just go with "OK phone", or even 'OK Google"? Ideally it would be even shorter, but understand why they need something a bit unique. Even so, Star Trek and 2001 had it right.

You can change it, but yeah you're right. Not sure what they're thinking. They should just leave it to OK Google.

Kayak when in the Western hemisphere, Skyscanner in the Eastern hemisphere.

I talked to a company that did this kind of work, and they used tiny MEMS mirrors made of gold plated silicon.

They wouldn't tell me much about their customers, but they specialized in switching and splitting high speed data at the physical layer.

I appreciate the ability to browse around my inbox while writing an email, and I suspect that is why the change was made; however, I wish they had left in the ability to compose from the old compose window.

That picture is not a free-flying blimp, but an Army aerostat (tethered balloon). About 10 are used to enforce the southern US border.

Irony?

They used the image of a tethered balloon to depict one that would be wireless :)

Ah, thanks! I chuckled :D

Programmer, artist, technical writer, etc.

IIRC, they had a lot of problems with engine failures, as the 747 really pushed engine technology and size at the time. Joe Sutter's book [1] is an interesting look at the history of the 747 design (he was the lead designer).

There was also an issue with the wing resonating, which they fixed by putting trim weights in the wing of the 747-100 made of depleted uranium.

Some quick corrections:

Southwest operates from Dallas Love Field (DAL) instead of DFW- almost all commercial flights at DAL are Southwest flights. Midland(MAF) is a city about 350 miles away that they also fly to.

Southwest merged with Airtran, not Frontier about 18 months ago- they are still in the process of integrating their routes and operations.
