The three-tier system is absolutely awful in a lot of states for smaller breweries. It has been used to severely reduce their ability to sell on-site for off-site consumption, which is key for smaller breweries. Many states set the revenue&

Nitpick, but the title SHOULD be 'I come to bury Delphi, not to praise it' The whole point of Mark Antony's speech is that he was, in fact, praising Caesar, despite the line stating otherwise. Flipping it around removes the e

You're welcome! Thanks for continuing the civil discourse :) But, let's take just apache and nginx as an example: Lots of people offer just webhosting as a service. It's gotten less and less common now, with things like Squar

I'm assuming you're missing some words here, probably "with Stripe" The idea that every credit card transaction or any form of dollar based transaction works on software directly built on Consul is patently false.

It's source available. Which is not the same thing as open source.

The problem is these companies almost universally could not exist without open source software that allowed them to commercialize things. It is impossible for the vast majority of companies to ever "give back" as much to open sour

Well, it's important to keep this all in context: They did not want to release the paper, even as a preprint, at this point. The infighting in the group necessitated it when someone went off script and threw up the original shoddy pape

I picked up a MQP out of curiosity with how the tech has improved since the original Vive - my last experience with VR. My office gets very hot in the summer - as of writing, it is 84F in there. The rest of my house is 72. I've had AC

Sure enough. Which, well, makes sense, since superconductors are "perfect" diamagnets, so them being able to do it seems to necessitate that the greater class of diamagnets on the whole can too. The only examples I can find of sta

Not an expert, but my understanding is that magnet configuration could not create a stable levitation for pyrolytic graphite - you need an array of magnets, e.g. https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1010/10

https://twitter.com/Andercot/status/1687748594563268608 seems to indicate that simply diamagnetic levitation cannot create the level of stability shown in this video.

Please read my comment again. I am not saying engineers (of the sort attempting replication) are more than amateurs when it comes to superconductors, I am saying they are not amateurs around relatively mundane equipment. > who is trying

Both papers were significantly rushed for reasons unrelated to the science aspect of it. Wait for the peer reviewed paper if you are this concerned about it.

If enough people cared, you could probably make the same argument that got sports betting into a place of legality and get at least some subset of prediction markets legalized. The sportsbook argument was that sports betting involves more t

It would not be a normal part of the process for people to be demanding samples just because there was a preprint posted on arxiv. It's a weird situation and they don't owe anyone any of these samples. They say they want to share

There's plenty of real scientists doing real science with this. It's pretty dismissive to talk about university labs full of PhDs posting preprints and videos and all of that and liken them to TMZ style reporting. People bring up

Sure. No one reasonable is seeing this and deciding they need to go investing their life savings in whatever adjacent stocks they think will take off. Skepticism is fine. The Nature article is still weird in tone, though, since there's

The covering over the magnet is almost certainly to hide the array of electromagnets underneath. You can find a variety of electromagnet toys that will do this exact thing.

It's one of the reasons people were thinking this might not be a fraud. Nobel prizes are capped to 3 people, and the speculation is that the rogue person published early to try and ensure they were one of the people that received it. N
