This giant model stopped a terrible plan
推荐理由
I learned of this plan via this short Tom Scott video. Fascinating.
说明
这是2016年由Tom Scott发布的一部讲解,主题归在Civil engineering & construction。它讲的是bay model engineering history这一支里的具体问题,而不是把整个领域扫一遍。适合按兴趣直接看、不打算先补课的人。内容上可以概括成:Tom Scott tells how John Reber's plan to dam San Francisco Bay was disproved by the Army Corps of Engineers' giant hydraulic Bay Model in Sausalito. The model showed the plan would have been dangerously wrong.这些读者给出的理由,核心是:HN recommends it as a short, fascinating story of a scale model preventing a terrible engineering decision.讲法不绑某一条新闻,过几年仍然可以当材料看。从2018年到2026年,有5位不同的读者在4个不同月份把它推荐出来,其中明确叫别人去看的有0次。适合用一集把一个概念补上的人。抓住它用的那个图像或类比,比背公式重要。如果已经会了基本定义,就把注意力放在它怎么把bay model engineering history变成能跟着复述的例子。
