Play isn't idle play, we do it all for a reason, like all other animals. Kittens play to practice hunting. Puppies play to practice fighting. It's an evolved behavior where animals that practice do better than animals that don&#x2

Lovely article. But I have my doubts. Were these prisoners really outwitting their guards, or might it have been the other way around? Is not instructing their captors in engineering subjects, navigation and astronomy, which all have substa

I have mixed views on this. Long Tesla: If prices are falling, costs must be falling. Surely the $4500 USD Chinese EV represents close to the true long term minimum cost of producing one of these. Margins compared to ICE are going to be awe

Before, the American economy has been built on excess consumption. Assuming that the rising tide lifts all boats, rewarding and encouraging excess consumption helped everyone, not just the wealthy. That's almost the opposite case when

Not sure if there is basic/core technology development being done or valuable technology being generated. Is supersonic flight essentially just throwing a lot of jet fuel at the problem of wanting to get someplace fast? Are we expectin

This is like trying to access information buried inside a data structure. You need the right incantations to get the right information content and not just the headers.

Whenever you see a cell chemistry with metallic lithium in the anode, watch out! They tried that 50 years ago, the result was unexpected dendrite growth after many years, causing cell short-circuit, fire, and loss of life and property. Bona

If we don't like companies abusing their power, we can complain and decide not to buy the products of companies doing that sort of thing, and support their competitors. There's only so far courts takes you, for a consumer company

I would call this cleanliness graffiti, maybe graffiti sculpture. The term reverse graffiti should be literally removing graffiti or covering up graffiti with paint.

Though the title is copied from the article, the title is needlessly inflammatory. Given the replication, practical application and self-admitted quantum physics vs. standard model crisis/failures of modern particle physics, astronomy,

There are certainly not "small trace amounts" of heavy metals in solar panels. If they sit there for 100 years, the heavy metals will not stay put. Have you visited the rust belt? When cars reach EOL, they often don't get &qu

Sunlight is already energy. Surely you mean something to do with energy conversion? It's upsetting watching millions of acres of fertile land becoming essentially salted with heavy metals. What is really effective at energy conversion

Maybe the post title is inaccurate. The article title itself continues with "and a centuries-old British company ruined lives". It wasn't a "bridge collapse" that caused anything. Yes the bridge sucked, but lots of

Is this a paid advertisement? Hard to tell the difference. I'm surprised at the other comments. I didn't notice any video content on the site. I consider video to be king for repair and hands on work.

Does the person who wrote this article think that a custom disk image == a custom logo? A mistake only possible from someone with extremely poor subject matter expertise, or by text predictive AI? Or, am I totally out of whack and have no i

I believe the old adage is the law conservation of bicycle + lock weight: as bicycle grows lighter and more expensive, lock(s) must get correspondingly heavier. Weird to see this cited with the year 2017, I think I read this article back in

Ding ding ding. They even throw their lawyers under the bus, saying that they are discouraging use of the term Velcro for the purpose of legal defense of their valuable Velcro trademark. Did this gain any real traction at any point?

A large seawall to be sure, but not a particularly tall one. If I recall correctly the seawall was remarkably short relative to maximum expected wave heights on a 100 year time frame.

The LFP is also super cheap, and the NMC are expensive (C in NMC stands for Cobalt which is $$$). You can get 1000km in range with any chemistry, probably even lead-acid if you make it heavy enough. NMC life is fine, but it's just expe

I don't think they would be interested in Ryobi, they would want to be using oxyacetylene torches. The effect would be something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOgKwKFG4Z0&ab_channel=Quote... Given the

Interesting, but I think many ocean-going vessels tend to be fairly long for good reason, with the bigger, longer ones also being faster and more capable in rough seas. Offshore commercial fishing boats are an example of shorter ocean-going

For people who care about this, I would recommend float charging at 40%, slow charge to 60% before use, then slow discharge to 40%, preferably all done at 10 degrees C. And, for safety reasons, you should ideally have supervised charging in

Beware of battery technology announcements that only give a single parameter! They have usually made drastic tradeoffs in other areas in order to get the headline number. And we are left to only speculate. But, if the other numbers were gre

Here's old footage of the foilborne Canadian Navy hydrofoil HMCS Bras D'Or from the 1970s, with some rough sea action right at the start of the video. Doesn't look like a smooth ride, and must be a huge stress on the hydrofoi

I interpret the article as saying she's working on rehiring Greg as president and Sam as CEO, in "parallel" with the board looking for a different CEO.

To the contrary, I would prefer to interpret the article's wording as saying she's working on rehiring Sam and Greg into their old positions, presumably directly against the board's wishes.

Now we know were Murati sits. Are they planning to fire her too? Sounds like they would rather "replace her", problem being that probably no one credible will agree to do it at this point, except maybe Ilya?
