I'd like to see these now rated for leakage by monitoring, maybe even shorting half the sample. As far as I can tell, all cells now leak, while before it was some cells and aggravated with constant discharge. Edit: Because I would like

Nice job describing why ER=EPR is so exciting, and conveying conflicts within physics. The idea that Einstein held conflicting views is important to keep in mind because we see him being led by the data rather than dogma. Susskind has a lot

That's what I used the <$10 16gb Optane sticks for, when I had a batch of terrible small zero cache SSDs. Just to extend the performant life of the hardware I was stuck with. Worked ok.

That sounds like the author is defining good as "what I like, and can't or won't tell you."

This is an interesting point, and I hope it is actionable. Of course we need to understand the biological components and systems in detail. Unfortunately biology varies wildly between individuals, while the radio is constructed to a specifi

The steamers they use at burrito shops make the flour tortillas soft and flexible so they can wrap, fold, & stretch without breaking, and the steam moistened flour sticks to itself better when wrapped.

The only place I've seen kolatches (sp.) was fifty years ago in the little town of West, TX (and it's not really in West Texas, but more in between Fort Worth and Austin.) Those were pastries filled with various delicious things,

I like the emphasis on it as a Democratic function. This is the tyranny I see everywhere these days. Tech companies ignore problems that don't scale. Unfortunately, that means that the YouTuber making a decent living, who gets unfairly

Often it's more helpful to use one guess you know will not match, just to eliminate or split numerous cases at once. If trapped with _IGHT which could start with many letters, a guess like FARM would reduce your guesses in a single mov

This is seductive and comforting to those of us who like fiction, far more than true. We want to believe it, and it may be valid for a few of us (certainly wrong for others) but worst, it's too easy to believe because we want to. Those

I'm genuinely sorry if I offended you with my feelings. I tried not to, but clearly I didn't succeed. And in a context where everything seems to be treated as a value judgement, I should've been clearer. There was nothing nor

One element of this seems to be a tendency to make explicit words or phrases whose meaning is not immediately apparent. Look at the use of acronyms too: ATM machine (Automatic Teller Machine machine) ISBN number International Standard Book

I've met plenty of people who say "I only read non-fiction" always as if it's a virtue. A friend's father told her she made up lies about people who didn't exist. That was his opinion of her fiction. I think so

I'm curious how often this leads to mass death. I suspect that there is some escape from this, or else conditions leading to an ant mill are extremely rare, because it seems evolutionarily expensive. On the other hand nature is proflig

I was hoping that the ants were somehow milling food, perhaps using small rocks and sand (or a mutualistic relationship) over time to break it down. If a valuable food source was locked up and could only be accessed this way, I can certainl

Dealt with 'administratively'. These are felons interfering with international flights and need to be dealt with as such. This was a successful political hijacking.

This thread was diverted from questioning alcohol as a poison in "any amount " to culture war. This is the borderline astroturfing that destroys communities. Turn every discussion into a political one. I no longer read Slashdot kn

What's disappointing is how quickly your observation was diverted to panic and inciting outrage. I'm interested to know why the CDC now says "no amount" when the evidence for decades has been that small amounts are cardi

Nobody is enforcing anything, either in the parent or the OP, so don't panic. Your comment seems inflammatory and irrelevant in this context, but I'm sure that's not your intent. You'll be ok, don't worry.
