Thanks for compiling and sharing this info! I'm not sure a state-level point of view to this problems is the right way to view this problem. Except Texas I guess because it has ercot all to itself. Most big electric producer(eg, calp

Edit -- I'm an idiot and misread OP. I read "inspired by nature", rather than specifically "biology". Keeping everything below here just for goofs. I think the only thing that applies is the Computational Beauty of

There exists various forms of "water markets". I'm most familiar with irrigation districts in California, but I know there's other examples that facilitate the monetization of saving water in some form. Stanford and UC M

Is the money that was already donated still accessible? This doesn't sit well with me. I guess it's a private company, but damn.

Ising-like models can "model" a very, very wide range of phenomenon. It's treated in physics (of the flavor in this article, statistical physical, biophysics, "complex systems") almost like a linear model would be b

You are right not be convinced, because it is entirely incorrect.

Nope. Don't dare ask how they treated water/solvation. Lolz. Now, the question is, does it matter? When do you EVER need to know the exact atomistic, yet alone electronic, trajectory of a single protein starting from a given posi

Excuse formatting, one phone. Was gonna put more refs... But phone. Yes, this is not the standard "force field" pairwise stuff you're used to when you heard "simulation" of biomolecular systems. I don't know if

What is the particular appeal of an island? I love islands myself, don't get me wrong. But why not widen your search to a somewhat remote -- assuming that's part of island appeal -- warm coastal areas? Do you plan on actually goin

You can get to a frequentist technique from a given instance of a bayesian 'trajectory', so I don't really understand what leg frequentistism has left to stand on? How is frequentistism more 'cautious'? The anti-bay

I suspect you may have a point hidden within here, a point that I might even agree with... But it's hard to understand that point and believe that you are discussing in good faith when you conflate things that you must know not to, giv

Tagging so I can read about EB5 and come back later. But at first glance, and with my limited experience in tech as a founder & VP, 500k sounds far too little for 10 FTE for 2 years. Edit -- I'm sure you've looked into it more

Almost everyone I know between 30 and 40 dropped Facebook. Not completely, I'd guess the majority still have their accounts. Just no one uses it. My survey isn't very data heavy, but from the people I know, it's mostly older

Bummer, I suspect that biased the poll quite a bit. Facebook had an early lead when I first commented. It's on everyone's mind from recent news, so it was going to lean Facebook regardless I'm guessing. Edit only for poor sen

Re insutrial revolutioon, FYI, they're calling it industry 4.0 now, although I'm pretty sure it didn't happen how they expected, so maybe they'll just call it industry 5.0. Or better yet, it will somehow become part of t

Yes, you can explain refrigeration with ideal gas. But... You need non-ideal gas (attraction) to get temperature inversion. Then you just need compressor and voila, look at PT charts to find what temperature range you need. With ideal gas r

The emphasis on the entropy generation kind of confuses the point from my POV. What's important about the nozzle setup is that, by construction, it generates the JT throttling process. That is, the procedure is isenthalpic. Focus on th

My "blah-Popper" comment was a joke/self-deprecating to my argue. I agree that non-falsifiability isn't strictly sufficient grounds to dismiss something, but it is a curious smell. Edit- crap, I'm pretty new at actu

I don't think I follow? What am I dismissing? I don't quite understand QM analogy. QM arose to explain new observation from more detailed measurements. Consciousness and intelligence and all things brain have been (to an extent) k
