That sounds a bit odd. Sound is coherent motion of the conducting medium, whereas motion of gas molecules is random. I always associated the increased speed with reduced density, and hence reduced "inertia" with increasing tempera

I guess it depends on your point of view. Deepmind as far as I am concerned is the one true success that Alphabet is funding. The work they do is truly cutting edge. They may not be good at making products out of their breakthrough research

There are also genetically modified goats that produce spider silk in its milk. The protein that is, not long strands in the milk :)

Elastic stretching, the one that reverses completely on taking the load off, is the regime where there is a linear relationship between the stress load and the stretching. This should be seen as different from yielding which in mechanical

Tensile strength of 2 GPa for this silk compared to 0.4 to 0.8 GPa for steel. Really cool.. This is without including the strength to weight aspect!

Netflix on a plane? I have never seen that. Which onboard wifi allows that? Perhaps you are thinking of movies delivered via wifi, but the content is streamed from the plane itself.

I did not know the consequences were so draconian. However, I would imagine returning faulty or fake products will not trigger a score decrease.

Haha. Thanks for saying that internet stranger! Compared to me as well. It took me quite a bit longer to solve it too, even after i figured the rules.. so I guess kids are just good at adapting to the pretend-laws-world-problem-solving..

Thank you.. As fun as it was to solve the simple puzzle, nothing will replace the joy I felt when I showed it to my 8 year old daughter to see her solve it in 2 minutes flat with no instruction at all. Thank you for making it possible. I ha

Wait $350 is for the whole semester? So, if a student takes 5 courses per semester it will cost $3500 per year. Why can't the $15000 instate and $44000 out of state pay for this? If even 20% of the tuition is not going for class expens

Can I ask what it is that costs $350 per hour per student? There is one professor lecturing and a few TAs who work 20 hours a week at max. There are 60-100 students in all the major classes, 20-30 in more advanced ones. What exactly is the

Cheat to be a Navy seal? How? Are you talking about the off label viagra usage to pass hell week? Not that I am condoning the practice, but that is not cheating in my books. Desparate yes, dangerous but war is more.

I mean optimal amount of anything is non zero. Trying to get 0% of anything, so getting anything 100% pure is next to impossible. Near hundred (99.9 repeat n) is useful but is always not cost effective or possible as n tends to inf.

There may be separate multidisciplinary initiatives, but "Multi" in MURI definitely stands for inter university initiatives. All the MURI grants I have seen (not many and long ago to be honest) were multiple universities and one a

If your proposal is to make all grant applications blind with respect to grant writer information, it is an idea that has a lot of unintended side effects. Firstly, not every field, in fact, most fields are not Math or CS by definition. It

Yes, the university taking 60-70% is almost highway robbery, but it is hard to completely disassociate from them. For one, the university can through economies of scale reduce the cost of setting up and running experimental facilities. More

I am not sure how you came to that conclusion. This reduction can still be consistent with a fixed bar for acceptance. Say that earlier everyone who cleared the bar got funded. Now, only 60% of those who clear the bar gets funded. The furth

I don't read it that way. There is reduced funding available now . So the current batch is smaller. They are still thinking of more than 10 year horizon to mature opportunities but the funds available for that runway is smaller. Henc

I am not sure of that. If all that money ended up in rich people's pocket, never to see the light of day again we won't be having the inflation crisis. The money through various investments is now out in the open, driving up infla

Beautiful post. More about emotions surrounding shared experiences where coffee happens to be a bystander. This does bring me to a coffee problem that I could never adequately address. How do I with a slight OCD for cleanliness and fondnes

The current spike did not happen by chance or out of the blue. This is the result of worldwide efforts to limit the fallout of the 2008 financial crisis. To the extent that it was possible a lot of the countries followed the US in enacting
