Waking up early and doing a workout for an hour or two helps me to sleep very well for next 3-4 hours after the workout -- or keeps me sleepy for half the day. Works totally differently in the evening. Brain just goes at double speed after

Have not read the "Built to Sell", yet the "E-Myth" is spot on. At least the first half of it.

Humans have amazing low-light adoption, but not if the human is blinded by/staring at a bright cell phone screen as seen on this video.

Second that! OU math courses were really good. This involves the materials and tutor support. Took them in 2003..2004, so things may have changed.

For last 16 years I have designed and manufactured "real hardware" for living (FPGAs, up to 18 layer PCBs, fast interfaces, RF, analog -- running an engineering house now). Yet I still tinker with electronics outside of the &quo

Have you seen one with /10 salary? Or some with any combined ten times multiplier in between (like 5x and /2; or 3.16x and /3.16 [sqrt(10)])? According to Glassdoor and other salary surveys it is not a discrete 1:10 duality.

I am a long term multi-screen user (last 16 years or so), including portrait monitors for document reading (reminds me that some CRTs used to do funny things in portrait as their cooling was not made for this). I often have multiple datashe

And there was simple resistor resolder hack to make GeForce 2MX think it is Quadro. It was very useless and very cool at the same time. Few people got into hardware hacking (read electronics engineering) thanks to this little and yet very p

You are right, I stand corrected. If instead of the ambient temperature, we have a cryogenic storage tank, getting 60% round-trip may be feasible in large scale.

Assuming about 300K ambient temperature (on site, above ground), 800K working temperature (store the heat at 500°C) and that the second law of thermodynamics still holds, the roundtrip efficiency can not be 70%. It must be below 40%, and no

If this is true in real trials, it is a big thing. Varroa mites have developed resistance to fluvalvinate, which is most commonly used miticide and formic acid is really easy to overdose. Lithium cloride in those quantities is quite safe an

Just speculating here on two points: - There is no real need for SR-72 to be manned on all flights; - Hypersonic plane would be very good for small (2m wingspan) drone delivery behind the enemy lines fast (in half an hour). This was already

Thanks! Kiva/Amazon is a great real-time optimization challenge. Digikey logistics is a good example of how it is well done with non-machines: https://youtu.be/pYqzccJdgVY

This is a good video example of how manufacturing works in lean factories. By reducing or avoiding inventories, fetching from temporary warehouses and machining stops (traffic lights here) you can often increase the production rate signif
