Dude, I like your analysis and eager attempts to calibrate but you messed up your calculation somehow. I'm pretty sure your problem is that your formula misestimates the amount of gas stored. It is compressed, you know. You of off by about

I think that copyright, with a shorter term, is a very reasonable model for pharmaceuticals given the current FDA process, but it is not complete. The FDA still frowns upon off label use -- but the challenges in medical regulation are for a

I do argue that this is neither theft nor transcription, but transformation or inspiration. Xerox did, by the way, try to commercialize their technology. They just misfired massively. The Xerox Star bombed, because execution matters -- a ma

Just as a thought experiment, what would be wrong with extending the vigor of youth twenty years beyond our societally imposed retirement age, 65? Two decades out from under the thumb of the expectations and institutions would seem a just r

It's really interesting to read this. I had no idea it was John Bardeen who was instrumental in setting this up. Who knows how the world would have changed with Zerox pulled the trigger on commercializing PCs.

That's obvious. Culture factors are the main determinant that they could find. It is unrealistic to assume the queried countries have a mean centered around complete gender neutrality, so your analysis is invalid.

Thanks! Transmission and distribution don't get the attention they deserve, it's true. I think storage can change that, though :-)

We've yet to unveil the details and results of our technology, but here's a preview: We have a breakthrough energy storage technology called Regenerative Air Energy Storage. The concept is to store energy in compressed air -- a motor/genera

The price of energy sometimes goes negative , even, because wind farms want to recoup the renewable energy credit. Craziness! Aquion is definitely an exciting competitor, and we wish them all the best. It is an honor to have such a worthy

For, now, I think, really, the main thing is to get the idea out there. And the opportunities for making a difference and making money with renewables + storage are immense. If we get the message across to governments and utilities and publ

To be as explicit as possible: poor functioning as a result of discriminatory stereotypes is no evidence of innate inferiority, be it in women or men or whomever. It is evidence of discriminatory stereotypes, that is all.

If your goal were to find truth your arguments would be more well reasoned. I can't ascribe your phrasing to anything other than sloppiness or a desire to incite controversy. To my knowledge we haven't found a single demographic group immun

That doesn't follow at all; and is phrased in a completely insensitive way. If you want to have a civilized conversation, stop that. Boys/Men are also susceptible to stereotype threat. The priming with race is well known. They are also espe

I think the cleanest experiments here would be those having to do with stereotype threat. For example, women asked to write down their gender (even just with a checkbox) before a math test at the GRE level score significantly worse. Asian w
