Just feed the DOI to Science Hub and be done with it. I have official access to a number of journals but use Sci-Hub even for those as the process of getting access is so much easier than running the Wiley gauntlet.

There is plenty of tech innovation which heralds from Europe but comes to fruition after moving to the USA. It is not a lack of ideas or one of entrepreneurial spirit but more one of a lack of VC capital and a more stringent legal framework

You do realise that your wife's Bantu-speaking ancestors displaced the Khoi and San (also known as bushmen) when they invaded the area which is now known as Botswana I hope? If you insist on decolonising Botswana it is not the we

What bugs are you seeing with NC News? I use it as well, mostly without problems. The recent introduction of the sync interval setting led to some odd sorting problems in the feed but that is easily solved by setting the interval to the old

You might want to consider reading my reply before you start spouting nonsense about right-wing forums , it might answer your question about why I chose taxation as an example of something which is seen as normal in current society but mig

Sigh. Whatever happened to intellectual curiosity in this place... No, I did not just turn a point about slavery into a rant that you have to pay taxes . I used taxes as an example of something which might be seen in a totally different li

That'd totally suck if you were to hear him say it here and now. In the context of the Roman empire and the period Cicero wrote this it would probably not register much, except for with a few 'activist' types like Spartacus.

You're using the word 'iPhone' where you mean 'smartphone'. Don't do that, you wouldn't call any car a Ford or any vacuum cleaner a Hoover either. Nor do you call any iPhone a Nokia, for that matter.

No equivalent of something like F-Droid on iOS makes it a no-go in all circumstances. I trust F-Droid far more than I'd trust Apple or Google. No opportunity to replace things like the system browser on iOS makes it a no-go in all circ

I don't know why mrmonkeyman's reply on Chinese having something against the number 4 was downvoted into oblivion although I suspect it was because of the all-to-common knee-jerk reaction against 'racism'. What he sa

I don't think hydrogen is a good energy storage solution. I do see its advantage over hydrocarbons for certain applications but the difficulties in storing hydrogen - a small molecule which is sort of an escape artist - make it less th

by Yetanfou 6y ago
An advantage of hydrogen is that it can be used in fuel cells, producing only water as reaction product. Using hydrocarbons of any sort in existing engines leads to the production of nitrogen oxides due to the presence of nitrogen in the ai

If only that were true, but political issues have crept into many technical topics in such a way that it is hard to avoid them altogether. Maybe a 'political' flag on politicised (sub)threads can help, together with an option to h

These are state issues, not federal issues. Other states have handled things differently, with different results. NYC chose a different path from e.g. Florida (which is closer to the 'Swedish' approach) which has led to a differen

Once SARS2 is history it will be interesting to compare the approach in places like NYC to those in e.g. Florida. I suspect the latter will come out on top when it comes to efficacy of the approach while the former will end up both bankrupt

Only part of the biomass comes from waste, either from the timber mills or from tree crowns and undersize wood. The rest comes from trees which are harvested for this purpose. The areas is replanted for this purpose with a fast-growing spec

Biomass works when there already is a source of biomass around which otherwise needs to be taken care of, e.g. in areas with intense forestry, next to sawmills etc. As soon as you need to import biomass you're lost since a) this entail
