   There is a critical magnetic field at which superconductors stop being superconductive [1]. Generally, a superconductor carrying a lot of current suddenly becoming conductive is a bad thing. This is directly related to the maximum current d

   I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. Non-payment of rent is a straightforward sure-fire cause for eviction practically everywhere. Even jurisdictions that allow a tenant to withhold rent to cover things like emergen

   I usually don't remember my dreams (and if I do, memories are usually very vague). However, I still have a sense of time passing when I sleep - ie: I wake up in the morning and I feel like some number of hours have passed since I went

   Doesn't even have to be an invasion. Industrial espionage, IP theft, cyberattacks against critical infrastructure... plenty of hostile acts that aren't all-out war which can be facilitated by having a compromised insider.

   This seems like a great way to hand China blackmail material that they can leverage against you. Obviously, I don't like government surveillance, but at least in the west we are (1) generally protected from the worst excesses by legisl

    The most straightforward solution would be to require the telecoms submit pricing tables to the regulator and force them to stick to them. If they want to make a change, they have to do it for the whole region, not just the area where small

    I thought the PRU was only available on their ARM A-series SoCs? I'm more referring to a bare metal microcontroller class part.

    The Pico's PIO peripheral is actually a really innovative feature in a microcontroller. It plugs the gap where you need some sort of fast custom I/O but you don't want to go to the complexity and cost of an FPGA. I'd lov

    Also consider giving Sentinel-1 a look, if you haven't already. C-band synthetic aperture radar, about 20 m ground resolution in its land imaging mode. Radar imagery works really well for water detection, and since it penetrates clouds

    I don't want to sound callous, but... they're cats. Not humans. How do you think all the medicines at your vet's office were originally tested? Animal models are used in biomedical research all the time, and yet they account

    I hear this criticism a lot. Am I the only one who likes the LTSpice GUI? Yeah, it's clunky at first, looks straight out of 1995, and you have to break out SPICE directives for features that really ought to have UI wrappers by now. But

    Naively going by expected value, 1e9/2^63 gives about $0.12 per participant as a reasonable starting point. But it is a weird one: the risk is really small but the required payout is massive.

    While this should have been better studied before the spectrum was allocated, it's not really the fault of the FCC. These radar altimeters have very wide front-ends, as as a result are highly susceptible to out-of-band emissions. The r

    Uranium is also much easier to trasport than gas thanks to the ridiculously high energy density of uranium. Reactor grade uranium has an energy density of about 3,500,000 MJ/kg in a light water reactor, whereas natural gas is about 55

    Fundamentally, any radar that can be configured to capture coherent data (ie: amplitude and phase rather than just amplitude) can be a SAR. SAR is basically post-hoc digital beamforming to sharpen the image. If you have amplitude and phase

    I love PGP, but let's be honest, it's not user friendly in the slightest. It's an esoteric bolt-on to email that requires both ends to want to use it and go through the trouble of setting it up, which basically means that it&

    Thanks! I was wondering if there was a way to do this. I don't really need calendar on a personal account, and for email I was thinking about shuffling over to somewhere else anyway.

    I don't think the article was trying to state that's the case for every millenial or Gen-Z, just that it's true for a wide swath of them. I'd say that's generally accurate.
