   I know they generate a moderate fraction now, that's the point of my post. I think they are backing themselves into a corner. The problems to date include very high energy prices. Even larger challenges await; these will grow as renewa

   Please correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is that nuclear doesn't ramp up/down very well either. Most nuclear plants use fission for the base load but gas or other fossil fuel generators for the variable part. Since

   What's the meaning of "immediate mode" in their description? The only context (no pun intended) in which I know this phrase is the old, deprecated way of writing OpenGL vertices. https://stackoverflow.com/que

    So, this implies that a serious bug in any program with the 'call' hook could prevent your phone from making a call, even 911? Seems like a big deal! In software I write, the logic for 'emergency' priority events doesn&

    If there is an expert in immunology here I'd really like to ask a question: Aren't antibody titers just one measure of immunity? Since ~everyone with just two shots get them a while ago, and people receiving the boosters are recei

    Good Post. I'll just put my back-of-the envelope calculation here to insert some optimism. While the energy emitted is immense, since the event was so far away (1.6e9 lt-yr), then if we plug in the solid angle subtended by the detector

    The innovation here appear to be the chamber. (caveat: I still need to read the paper). A few thoughts follow. They are going for a UHV***, probably <1e-10 mbar, but want to do it with a passive pumping design. In an ordinary chamber to

    No Child Left Behind passed in 2002. My understanding is that this mandated a lot more annual standardized testing that continues to this day. Is the data from the NCLB tests consistent with the NAEP results?
