I'm not sure what's forbidden here. You don't need 100% relative humidity to grab water from the air in fact in any wood has a moisture content that in equilibrium is in relation to the air moisture content. The moisture diff

My local forestery product association already claims that per unit of weight, wood is stronger than steel. We are seeing taller and taller high rises going up with mass timber. The idea here holds merit and has been attempted before. The v

Can someone explain the English of this slogan? It makes no sense to me. The thing being advertised is "what nobody else can give you". If I consider that to be "it", then the slogan becomes: Buy it for twice the price.

I like it! It has most of the features I need in a PDF doc and nothing of the bloat. The only features missing for me are: callout text comments, redact text, and flatten PDF. It's snappy and pretty easy to understand. Good job As much

E-waste prevention is hella important. It's a tough situation though. I think for a board that goes out in the public, even at a prototyping level, it's important to know the chip you have is not tampered with. I once wanted to ma

Is it safe to say that would not have happened without China? With all of the strong energy incumbents that the US has and their lack of desire for disruptive innovation I wonder how much the US can take credit for this reduction.

Studies have shown correlation with CO2 levels and performance but pinpointing the effect to CO2 alone hasn't been established. In fact, CO2's presence chemically helps with the oxygenation of the blood. CO2 is an indicator. I don

It's good to keep in mind that in your home the CO2 usually ranges from 400ppm to say 2,000 ppm. Getting to something like 100,000 ppm is not really plausible for a typical home. I get how in a submarine the conditions are different. F

Our current understanding is that no amount of CO2 is dangerous as long as everything else is fine, but in reality CO2 acts like the canary in the coal mine. When it climbs, it shows accumulation of stuff you don't want to deal with. M

I have a degree in building science, so maybe I can chime in. Note of caution: you will find yourself breathing heavily after reading this. It's normal. We do a terrible job at ventilating our indoor spaces. As a cave-dwelling species

Cybersquatting is one prime example of value extraction vs value creation. HugeDomain has sat on my obscure family name's .com domain name and wants to sell it to me. Every year their price goes up a thousand dollars. Hot take: We shou

Not a coding project, but I have been writing a sci-fi novel about a world where time goes backwards and forwards. It has some interesting history in it too. I'm looking for beta readers.

That's not true. Except for nuclear and solar collectors, all renewables, especially hydro, have nothing to do with steam.

Imagine you have 6,050 bitcoins but they didn't work out for you the way that you hoped. The most reasonable thing to do is to still advertise a bullish position because otherwise you are devaluing your own asset. There is a strong sen

This is a thing not because it adds strength or sustainability. We produce way too much corn and they are looking for ways to use them up.

For the uninitiated like myself, PearAi just took the source code of continue.dev (not fork, they copy pasted) and did some clunky work on it. That was their entry to YC.

One might look at this and think "huh 30% success is not too bad" missing the fact that this is from a VC perspective. From a founder perspective, this is abysmal because the chance of you getting funded by the likes of a16z or YC

This kind of argument ignores the real cost of having to upkeep a 50s car: the human suffering. Cubans are forced to use this option and their society suffers from it.

I think it's pretty elitist to judge the quality of a content via whether it's in a book/journal or not. In fact, the recent wave of scientific fraud discovery shows that one can hide data manipulation pretty effectively in a
