My mom did this, too. The sofas facing. It’s horrific. Absolutely horrible. Even GUESTS hate facing each other, like on the subway. Lots of little nooks and crannies for subgroups to congregate.

An old plasma you buy for 20 cents on the dollar. It’s not close.

More money has been wasted on laser chemistry than any other field of optics. While it is possible, on the single molecule level, to perform very clever experiments, scaling to any useful result has proven impossible for two main reasons.

“How any normal person is supposed to grasp this soup of standards, built atop a single port that looks the same, is anyone’s guess.” How is any normal person gonna buy 3/8” shrink wrap tubing, a heat gun, and strain relief a batch of

Take a professional 4-5 day sales course offered in a conference room at a local hotel. Xerox used to have a terrific one; perhaps it still exists. Here is a summary. 1. The key to selling is listening. Your goal is to listen for buyer r

They can do airframes but they are still far behind in avionics and engines. If the C919 ships in 2-3 years at all, it will be with CFM LEAP engines and American avionics. The problem for China is you cannot cut quality in aviation; there i

“I think that over time, the revenue model is the dominant term.” Nah. The profit model. This has consequences for both the users and employees. The stockholders have shoved their way to the front, and their mercenaries are armed.

I like the unintended consequences of this. But maybe I’m shortsighted.

In pricing solar installations, it was obvious that prices rose as vendors attempted to capture virtually all of federal and state subsidies.

I appreciate this response. However the “cellular” is represented by the minimal computational data structure to simulate the gas. There is no automata. Ordinary physics, adhered to as closely as possible, and not phantasmagoric creation

Lesser minds?

Are there a lot of parentheses?

This is horrifying. Fredkin and Feynman are both heroes of mine, and both succumbed, for at least a time, to the idea that cellular automata is more than a game. Wolfram, another genius, appears still afflicted. This is a kind of intellec

Everything written by Poundstone is worth reading.

Some rich person should offer a $1M prize for a single useful application, or example in nature or science, of cellular automata.

Ridiculous. Somebody is trying to raise money from naive people. Sometimes my cell phone gets hot enough that a cat would want to sleep on it.
