Please pardon what may be a naive suggestion. This isn't my area and illness had me "benched" for a long while. Is there an inverted solution? Maybe it's worth releasing not a simple PoC, but an unnecessarily large ball

Nearly all chips experienced transistor failures, rendering them useless, back in the day. Intel is the monster it is because they were the guys who first found out how to sorta "temper" chips to vastly reduce that failure rate (m

PD shows up as one of ten examples of traps in that long article. Note too that not every local minima is going to be a PD, or even close! Equilibria are sometimes now confused with PDs, due to the publicity given to Nash's Equilibrium

Mission control would have had the trajectory back up calculated and in hand, but separating from the lower lander stage and engaging the (different) return rocket at low altitude, outside of normal flight parameters, with an ongoing comput

The Apollo 13 explosion turned out to be a magnificent example of "false redundancy". By packing the three (supposedly redundant) fuel cells tightly together, NASA actually tripled the chance of losing all power. They now had thre

I'm pretty sure that steam shovels destroyed more jobs than they created, too. Samuel Butler, a century ago contemplated that change and also foresaw that this would eventually happen to jobs requiring more brain work, as well. But the

I'm gratified that over time Steam's services seem to have gotten better and not worse. I like watching Dota 2 International games for free. However: Has it struck no-one else as odd that it took so many years for Steam to comply
