Rollout the "non-military stuff" and move the "wide variety of administrative, management, financial and medical tasks" into a proper group like the State Department or some new group with no final militaristic considera

Absolutely, the military continues to take on a variety of non-military functions. That being said, it does not detract from the point that the first use case is for war, and as long as these many other org exist under the DoD structure, th

I don't blame them, some of the stats in this article are astounding. "The US is militarily involved in 76 countries."* "The U.S. spends more on arms and armies than the next seven biggest spenders combined" "U

I am a big believer in regular strength training, to the point were I am generally in a worse mode for the day if I can't get a scheduled workout in. If you want to get started, find a group or a program and jump in. I like nSuns + reg

I see plenty of usage in automation. Most domestic (US) manufacturing is highly automated, there's simply no way around it. However, for some parts of the factory, tracks/wheels just don't cut it -- think iron works, rougher

Heat up the dry water. I imagine it's not much different that driving off the water from a hydrated mineral.

Except that aerogel, classically, is incredibly unbelievably fragile. There's now composites out there that are supposedly better though.

Even still, that was (looks like) assembly work -- they moved explicitly to be closer to the part suppliers.

You're going to very hard pressed to build a phone outside of Asia, and even more so without Asian components. Fabrication of the case and battery are doable outside of Asia, although to get a phone shaped battery, you might need to

I wonder if there's any salvageable yeast DNA on the pots. Would love to see some ancient strains!

What's even more interesting is that this is pretty accessible. Given fairly common equipment, at least in a hackerspace, you can make ~8 mil traces on plastic or FR4. Not only that, but you can make them in 3D and with plated vias. Th

Hey, just so you know, the link to your resume in the bio is misspelled, leading to a deadlink.

Absolutely. Their advertising material points out their performance compared to the S&P500, and makes no mention of correlation. I don't think that this typical benefit of a hedge fund is what they're trying to sell. It seems

1% of capital every year is crazy money. If the fund is really that good, they'll take x% of the profits and not charge a fee on capital. You take capital because you're not really that good, and you don't know (like basicall

The tricky problem with spice levels is there's a weird masculine/masochism vibe to it all, along with a highly subjective scale. So we end up with some way overestimating their tolerance, and some way underestimating. Both of the

This is very cool. I had to look around a bit, but I found a link to DRACO taking off at at a competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp3402SOk8A Apparently this distance is about 100ft. Stats are all over the place, b

My two issue with this is it totally relies on a specially constructed definition, and it leads to unintuitive results. The issue with special definitions is you can use them to say anything you want, turning regular, common operations into

Thanks -- any recommendations on a textbook for better understanding semiconductor physics? I'm a physics major, but haven't gotten to do much semiconductor coursework yet.

Eh, it's not as simple. From what it looks like, they're not just copying syntheses from the patent application. With this Chematica data, it seems like they were pursuing novel syntheses for a variety of drugs in order to minimiz

I get it, but the execution is going in the wrong direction. I want good documentation for everything in current consumer products. Good documentation makes things modular, not pre-drilling a bunch of holes in steel beam. If every printer c

Ah, the cruelty of power law distributions. Problem is they come up everywhere, all the time -- as often, if not more often, than Gaussian distributions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_law

As you might guess, a cheap boro distillation rig from china isn't going to be doing cutting edge research. But, for most of the more mundane undergrad labs and routine chemistry, that kind of stuff it perfect.
