Gold is a worse conductor than copper. Silver is slightly better per volume but worse per mass.

Sometimes submissions that don't get traction originally get merged into a more recent one that becomes popular. Though... `past` link doesn't show anything else, but that might be because it was merged?

I've never heard of MOSFETs being used in extra-high voltage systems, but I have not been following the industry for a while. Do you have any links? I've only seen IGBTs or older technology used.

You wouldn't have to any more than you need 0 through N frames in memory to calculate frame N+1. Whatever your decoding state completes at frame N can be considered a key frame.

We have plenty of long-distance HVDC links, one of the most prominent being https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_%E2%80%93_New_England_T... , which also helped isolate Quebec from the Northeast blackout of 2003 https:&

The latter aren't being researched for CPUs, which are small things. They're for applications like long-distance power transmission, electric motors, and more. Things which aren't feasible to cryocool.

by coryrc 2y ago
It makes better sense than curtailing solar or wind production. 50% is better than zero. That being said, hydrogen is usually the worst option, but I don't think that's true for every scenario.

Make it twice as wide -- instead of 16x120 it's 32x60. Half as many clamps opened twice as wide. Repeat as necessary. Goes for every step. It only takes four seconds for a board to go through mine. Takes much longer to crank the wheel

I am assuming you are not a woodworker? Of course it's way easier. You can fit ten cutting boards on one set of bar clamps. Adjusting the planer takes longer than sending one board through. You only have to change sanding paper 3 times

That's exactly the outcome they wanted. Are those discussions leading to action on topics to reduce automobile dependence (the actual source of micro-plastic contamination)? If not, then you're part of the problem.

Throwing plastic in the trash is not pollution. "We" are not working on solving those other actual sources of pollution. We're just making people's lives worse. People think they've "done their part" by no

Why care if they get thrown out? If you are the median American, you burnt (aka "disposed of in the atmosphere") far more petroleum driving to the store than a hundred single-use bags. I bet a single bag is of comparable volume to

So it's better that I need to pay for thicker bags just to put in my wastebasket to collect trash? How is that better than getting a t-shirt bag from the store to carry my items home, then use the bag to line my trash, then throwing th
