Thanks for correcting this. Can you explain the layer-2 network? Is this a separated kind of chain?

I hear the same thing from some of my friends, what do they have in common? They don't block trackers while surfing. Haven't heard it from people who block those. If it were really voice recognition, it shouldn't have an effe

Often times people say that GIMP is just another workflow and one has to get used to it, just like with Photoshop. Maybe there is some truth to that. But my personal opinion differs. Of all the tools I played around with over the years, as

Looks interesting. May I ask what would be the most valuable lesson you got out of it?

But you will always find people who believe one or the other and who would consider it a red line? In my opinion that's an impossible task to solve. The only solution would be for everyone to preset what kind of information bubble they

Remembering back those were awesome. Can't image what our parents thought. I was curious and looked it up. In Germany climbing structures may have a "fall height" of up to 3 meters. They can be much higher, though, since the

Anyone who things we don't share common ancestors with apes should really visit a playground. I'm terrified at what my godchild and other children her age consider fun climbing heights, speeds... and drops.

Wow, thanks for the thorough reply (and nice rant). Seems like fluid dynamics, like a lot of other fields, is currently running after the shining new thing. What a shame. Best of luck to your research, though (which went waaaay above my hea

Thank you very much, this gave me a little more insight. > They are looking at equations already known to be inaccurate in some cases Are there in your opinion better equations for fluid dynamics? Also, do you think it's possible to

Isn't this more or less Mearsheimer argument again? Some time ago I read McFaul's and Sestanovich's arguments against Mearsheimer and Mearsheimers reply [1]. Although I lean more against Mearsheimer arguments, he writes this

I really want to like Quanta, but every time I read an article, I feel like they just barely didn't "dumb it down" enough for someone who doesn't have any prior knowledge in the field and I have more questions than answe

Yeah, either that or major investments in energy storage. My strong feeling is that Nordic countries will invest more in nuclear and export to the rest of Europe.

There are multiple reasons, first that 2 years would still be a very optimistic time frame. The energy companies got a huge reimbursement for the shutdowns and are therefore not interested in prolonging, because it would actually cost them

I could also imagine that they fear additional restitutions to the energy companies and want to keep that fiasco from happening again.

But couldn't the same be achieved without taking it private?

Assuming there is still some room for improvement and other manufacturers can copy those results. Then, one could half the battery size (less resources) or to alleviate range anxiety (more acceptance for EVs). Both great prospects. Oh, and

Yeah, I wish these polls would also ask "null-hypothesis"-questions (for a lack of a better word). Like "Do you care about the war in Ukraine?" and then get more specific.

I wonder whether 18-29 year olds have more pressing problems to care about and are therefore more apathetic?

Of course, reading this makes me very happy, and I am getting more hopeful by the day because it seems that more and more things are finally happening. But I also can't shake the feeling that a lot of these programs/investments ar

It depends. When commenting I read the article first but often times I'm more interested in the discussion, other people's opinions, and further interesting related content linked in the comments.
