Nobody's mentioned Strava yet. (Other sports trackers work as well) Cycling and running every morning does the trick for me. Starting the day early with the burning desire to complete something in the shortest possible time leaves you

I think you're confusing monolingualism with everyone having a lingua franca. Your argument sounds like "We should all just have one common language; therefore, we don't need others." Bilingualism has existed in countrie

Turkey and Indonesia do not use Arabic for communication. There's an Arabic continuum, and Saudi Arabic is rather different from Moroccan Arabic. There are subtle cultural differences preserved in the diversity of language. England, Ke

Fascinating. It took me a while to realize that the symbol that looks like 4^E is actually 'ye', or 'the'.

Wow incredible pictures. Also, 4200km is in the exosphere: I think you mean 4200m :)

> all the missed years of stargazing Thanks! I stargazed nevertheless with a pair of binoculars. It's tough (but sadly possible) to prevent people from doing things they really want.

It's quite ridiculous. In 1997, my parents brought a telescope to India. The Indian customs claimed my parents would "spy on Indian satellites" and never released it. As a young astronomy fan, this made me particularly sad. I

This actually happened in our lab when the experiment only worked when a grad student stood in a specific location far away from the control computers. Turns out he was blocking a stray laser beam, and now we have a curtain that replaces hi

Sensor data will have an interesting effect on insurance claims. There's always an unbiased witness who may not have the full information, but has much more than anyone else. That's just the interim period before full autonomy. Do

The quantum information did exist all along; it just 'leaked' into the environment through a process known as decoherence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_decoherence This is why I object to classical a

I always understand entanglement as 'cannot be factored'. It's really just that mathematical and simple. Say there are particles a and b that can be in states 1 or 2 entangled: a1 * b2 - a2 * b1, vs not entangled: (a1+a2)*(b1

But the article is about those without college degrees, not those with little skills.

Sure it's more complex, but it you're still more likely to hit the wall. Also, correct me if I'm wrong but climbing isn't quite as cardiovascular as cycling for instance, and I'd be hard-pressed to find an endurance

This may be an argument against breakfast for the sedentary, but athletes on extended training programs usually need to eat in the morning. You're much more likely to hit the wall on an empty stomach, a few hours into your training.

How do divers communicate over long distances? If they don't, that's something worth solving in its own right. If they do, couldn't the ROV use the same thing?

Surely an ROV could be tasked to this effort (at least for the identification part for insurance).

Knowing what you know now, would you have skipped the post-doc? Or did it provide some further insights that your PhD could not?

I hope he's held accountable too; it's just the vitriol in the threads that surprised me.

Serious question, but why are we all so serious? Maybe he's a pathological liar; maybe he wants fame; maybe he's just a conman. Does the bitcoin or tech community gain something from hoping for his arrest?

Interesting: CdTe has a bandgap of 1.5eV, closer to the ideal for solar efficiency than Si, which has a bandgap of 1.1eV. Multijunction cells can achieve efficiencies of over 80% since each junction can address a different part of the solar
