DIARRHEA_xd | 3 years ago | on: A little exercise each day improves muscles more than one big weekly workout

As with all regimen-based health/nutrition studies, the results can be ignored. Instead, use these studies for ideas, and experiment yourself to find out what works for you.

> but it turns out that the theoretically optimal structure is a single blade

In Betz's own derivation, the ideal rotor is an "actuator disk", having an infinite number of blades, which have no drag.

I'm not usually a fan of unfounded racism allegations. But the guy's username is "bantuq"...

Upon further review, the countries are Iran, Suriname, Sri Lanka, Argentina, Turkey, Syria, Sudan, Venezuela, Lebanon, Zimbabwe per: https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/inflation-rate-

> 1. Middle East, SE Asia, and South America all have inflation above 50%.

This source is lacking, but the only countries above 50% inflation I can find are Turkey and Argentina. Could you point me in the direction of where you got your numbers?

Perhaps you misread? The parent comment says:

> It was a conspiracy theory, according to liberals, to believe that the vaccine would be mandatory and that it would not stop the disease.

> It was a conspiracy that russia would invade ukraine according to conservatives until it happened.

You appear to be agreeing with him? In any case, the use of "nutcase" isn't productive.

Who says fads are confined to Tumblr?

The notable exception to this, of course, is Trump's primary AND general elections.

Hey please consider changing this comment to substantively add to the discussion. Empty snark, no matter how good it feels, really isn't HNs style and doesn't promote healthy discourse.

TikTok and Netflix are great places to start.

Well I personally prepend @everyone to all my messages.

Haha so melodramatic.

Anyway, here's how a 3D printed autosear works for an AR15. FYI the plastic'll run you about a buck or so. https://gunstreamer.com/watch/ar15-3d-printed-autosear-demo-...

DIARRHEA_xd | 3 years ago | on: How much health insurers pay for almost everything is about to go public

> I actually don't think the US president has that much power in practice.

Completely agree. As the world gets larger and more interconnected/free, the power any one man can have decreases.

DIARRHEA_xd | 3 years ago | on: YouTube removes criticism of dangerous fractal wood burning, but leaves up tips

Children and ESLs. I personally tune in to see just how far they'll go this time.

perfect bait, well done.

DIARRHEA_xd | 3 years ago | on: Three Arrows Capital has defaulted on a loan worth more than $670M

That take is far from hot. Tragedy has two inputs: What happened, and who it happened to.

DIARRHEA_xd | 3 years ago | on: Researchers achieve ‘absurdly fast’ algorithm for network flow

It's lacking. Their explanation for the greedy algo is great, less so for every other. By the end of the article, their 'explanations' degrade to speed analogies.

If I have the names right, your parent is looking for the derivation of "Optimal Power Flow", and its linearization "Linear/DC OPF".
