> Early tests show that the patent-pending filter can remove more than 99 percent of plastic fibers from washing machine wastewater. Could someone in academia educate me on the need to patent inventions like this ? is it just part of t

The gotcha will be the “poor” round trip efficiency, in comparison to other storage technologies. It’d be interesting to see if there’s any loss of efficiency with increasing storage duration too (relating to boil-off of the cryogenic side

Did I at any point in my previous comment say that using non-standard ports was my only line of defence ? Its security through obscurity, which puts you out of view of the vast majority of the chaos of the internet. It by no means protects

The only time I have ever had a machine compromised in 30 years of running Linux is when I ran something exposed to the internet on a well known port. I know port scanners are a thing but the act of using non-default ports seems unreasonabl

Yeah very specifically above or below. You don’t need to share exact location data (although you’d still need access to it on the local device) - just elevation. Don’t over engineer it - just an indicator about how much further down the sl

Add a “are my pals above or below me on this mountain” function (that doesn’t ruin my phone battery) and I’ll part with hard cash for this.

I wish the author had had the courage of their convictions to extend the analogy all the way to the glue factory. It’s what we are all thinking.

In our defence we didn’t buy the car, it was inherited. I’d have sold the thing the day it arrived if it was mine.

This 2022 BMW X1 my wife drives is the last BMW we will ever own. £395 for an oil change. £180 for brake fluid. £500 a year road tax. Meanwhile my 2011 Prius continues to pass its MOT without fail, needs just the usual very affordable co

Do you have any idea if either FWsim or Finale 3D were implicated in any of the “all at once” firing errors (some may say enhancement?) that affected e.g. San Diego 2012 or Oban 2011 displays ? Is there any protection against this kind of p

I’d be happy with other drivers just turning their main beam off slightly faster than 5 seconds after they have seen me.

Not to be pedantic but you do need to be able to see pedestrians at night too, who can legally walk on country roads on either side, without reflectors or illumination. It’s the car drivers responsibility to not mow pedestrians down whereve

For me it’s phones… specifically dialling a number manually. No matter how carefully I dial, the number on the screen is rarely correct.

Oh come on, nothing in the article suggests she’s still working. This is recreation and only that. Of all the old folks I know in their 80’s the happiest and healthiest are, and have always been, the active ones who still do circuits class

The government selling food directly to it’s citizens represents the raised red fist of communism to American conservatives ?

There isn’t a jot of pragmatism in anything you have written. Believing that the solution to ICEblock being banned by Apple is for the affected proletariat to rise up and run their own software and government-proof cryptography systems is f

How would you modulate the individual wavelengths, considering they all come from the same source ? I had, maybe naively assumed that laser diodes were switched on/off electronically to modulate a signal. With this laser you’d have to

As someone who cycles a lot, I can heartily recommend larger wheels and strong legs if you really need to slice through the traffic at 30mph. But I do agree that personal electric transportation should be able to travel at >15mph on suit

For sure, your average quick-off-the-mark, around-town EV is way more fun to drive than your average four banger. But, I've been in a Model 3 Performance and a Taycan 4S and experienced the ~3s electric 0-60, and... it's just ghos

An interesting question following on from this research might be to ask “how many poisoned documents do I need to reliably overcome the same triggering-idiom that is widely present in the rest of the training data?” e.g. how many times do
