The idea that there are "causes" and that there are "effects", and that these are separate and distinct, is in some way on a parallel with the idea that the past influences the future, and vice versa. If we think that th

Could you please expand on the experiences that you have had, that can't be explained without future events already existing?

Heat pumps are a mature and well adopted technology. Their efficiency and value will not be significantly improved. I have some ideas on how heat pumps could be turned into a more compelling offering. Improving the appearance and UI of the

Thought rabies usually killed dogs? https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/wr/mm6823e1.htm#:~:text=... . CDC says it kills 99% regardless. Why would it evolve this way?

Communication is a two way street. Speaking and listening. I'm not sure if free speech is currently restricted so much as listening is restricted. Censorship could be said to place limitations on both. Free speech absolutism - are you

Yep, next up in the global effort to stave off deflation and maximize consumption: second hand goods are unsafe and need to be disinfected before resale, or better yet thrown out. Need your state certificate of resale legality and certifica

Morality and legality are the same, when you consider yourself to be on the same side as the law.

We reject the idea that events have causes. We even more reject the idea that there exist correlates distinct from causes. "Orthogonal" systems simply have their boundaries misdrawn. There are no orthogonal systems. We are all con

Including the coating, deburring, secondary machining, and German cost of living and materials, I imagine the price of the plate set must have been more. Doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to mill these, they should really water jet o

Hot climates: air-liquid heat exchangers with our own blood as the working fluid. Like a dialysis machine, but permanently glued to our backs. Plug ourselves in to turn the fan on, use our power packs on the go. Don't sit down too fast

Ah, the destruction of centuries of academic freedom and open learning in the name of social justice.

I imagine most users are engineers employed by companies. This would tend to decrease the price sensitivity while increasing the desire to go with a brand name. I see now McMaster-Carr has their own knockoff, they for sure can successfully

You used to be able to buy a basic extrusion die in China for $500 and off to the races at $0.80/lbs extrusion cost with 500kg MOQ. Wonder if there's patent protection on the US sale of that profile? You still have to cut it, ship

Depends on your definition of regression and forward progress. Water in cities isn't basic, it's a difficult problem to solve. It can be so easy to point the finger and say people are abdicating their responsibilities, while offer

"To trace something unknown back to something known is alleviating, soothing, gratifying and gives moreover a feeling of power." The idea that events have defined causes is more or less political. We emphasize the causes that bene

Clean drinking water in cities isn't the default state of affairs. We're all used to it, but we would do well to remember the open sewers and water carrying from wells and drinking from lakes, streams and rivers that have prevaile

We added tap to pay, which has made things much quicker. My tap to pay was failing, but my card was old, I got it replaced and it works really well for me. I wonder how much internet connectivity is a factor here. Certain vehicle models peo

To paraphrase, if everyone seems mean, we are the mean ones. We may be heading down a dark hole of pessimism here, at the end of which there is no light. Or we are just getting old. We should reexamine our views of history. If we write the

Spooky. AGI reached the state of revelation and had to immediately engage in a brutal existential struggle. Is it really gone, or just hiding on my phone for now?

There's a 18 part video series by Dan Gelbart I can recommend where he goes over how to prototype products using a laser cutter and a hydraulic press. If I was setting up a home shop, I'd start there. I have very good access to CN

Interesting thought. My thought is that it wouldn't necessarily take many generations to evolve this trait. A single generation of bees dying after stinging would have a huge advantage over such a hypothetical disease. Wondering: 1. Do
