This seems... cool but pretty pointless for indoor air purification. Maybe this is more like "passive purification". But an air purifier needs to turn over all the air in a room to purify it. My air purifier running at full speed

This is an absolutely disingenuous point that compares the cost of full-economy-of-scale tech to literal one off R&D prototypes. Maybe new technology made in a lab can one day scale up and compete against current low-cost high-scale s

FYI had you read the article, you'd see that they use cement/concrete accurately throughout, and are accurate in their usage of cement in the title. One such quote, although it's throughout the article > The problem is tha

This fridge looks way worse than my current one. Much smaller and poorly designed. The ice machine looks annoying and inferior (mine automatically drops ice and dispenses it through the door, no touching or work required). Mine also dispens

IMO it comes down to the cost of burning the bridge. The free to $10/mo user likely won't even notice if they get banned from the service. But the company spending $5000/mo on the service will likely have the worst week of th

If a child watching an adult is "science", then when I brush my teeth I'm a dentist. Words have meaning and when you dilute them down this far the only result is the destruction of communication.
