Does anyone know of a good engineering level reference on Silex/GLE or general/commercial scale laser based separation. Most search results just show descriptive write ups.

AGI can't be defined, because it's the means by which definitions are created. You can only measure it contemporaneously by some consensus method such as ARC. You can't define AGI, any more than you can define ASA (artificial

I use Aspen-Hysys which is extremely expensive for non-commercial users, and would love to have a Pythonic alternative. That said, there's a long tail of features needed to make it practical (mole/mass/vol frac conversion, un

Why don't you look it up... why'd there be so much opposition to USA-ID in Africa, India, Brazil and South East Asian countries if it was preventing 14M deaths. I believe the technical jargon for it is "soft power" - bri

Corrected version should read: "14M people could die in 5 years due to USA-ID cuts, AND LACK OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS' CARING, study finds". USA-ID was not preventing deaths so much as it was funding the Western Elites' pref

Yes indeed, if white British people were expelled from their lands and their homes confiscated by anyone, Norse, Germanic or Russian, it'd be considered ethnic cleansing and a war crime. The jews of Ottoman era were Sephardic and Mizra

Your "terrorists" militias predate formation of Islamic Republic of Iran, in 1979. Yasser Arafat, and all other Palestinian liberators were also labeled as terrorists. Can you name one Palestinian who has fought against Israel&#x

So why was it called Palestine Partition Plan, and not Israeli partition plan: "Palestine Partition Plan" is United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 (II), adopted on November 29, 1947. This resolution, officially titled &qu

Israel defines itself as a "jewish" state, and at least 50% of members of current governing parties in parliament are from religious parties and zionist parties. In what sense Israel is not a theocracy.

Censoring is a lesser crime than murdering - the blood on the hands of the US, Israel and India far exceeds that of any so-called authoritarians. It's US, not China that operates the world's largest prison system - you should ask

But yet, it's Americans who in large numbers want to go to war with China over an island next to it, or worst, over an ideology they don't understand. Americans and other English-only countries are the most disinformed people in t

Freedom of noise might be more descriptive than freedom of speech, in so far as the Western democracies are concerned. In the US unlimited money has unlimited political power, so free speech, is irrelevant to power distribution, although it

A crude explanation might be like this - if you look at graphs of sin and cos, you'd instantly recognize their symmetries, but what if you're given the graph of a linear combination of them, and asked to decipher the coefficients?
