Ahhhhhhhh... Other than making more money, nothing beats the sweet math that is compound interest. Saving 1M for retirement by 65 is within the reach of many Americans. For the worst case scenario, the median wage for a worker with no high

Hey, thanks, and best of luck, what a cool company. It seems like you're on the cusp of breaking even from yongjik's back of the envelope math, at least for the US commercial market. Is this a refinement of Fischer-Tropsch? Howeve

I imagine the engine is optimized to run on "average" gasoline for a given octane level, tuning compression ratio, spark timing, air mixture, etc. I'm not an ICE engineer, so I would love to know how much of a performance cha

Soooooo many questions. Gasoline is a distillate made up of several hydrocarbons -- is he synthesizing all of them, or just octane? What about additives, like anti-knock agents? Plans for diesel? No amount of fancy CNTs gets around thermody

Good lord, that place is unbelievably dystopian. If it wasn't real, I would have called it a bad Orwellian fiction. Dozens of security cameras everywhere, inside shops, streets, and even the mosque. Mandatory government id, tied to a f

Analog introduces it's own set of distortions into the final sound -- it's simply a preference for that style of distortion. Totally duplicate on modern equipment though, no $1000 cables needed.
