It totally surprised me when I read the article, but your comment makes sense. If there aren't opportunities to disrupt the equilibrium from collisions, molecules with Noble gases can be stable. After posting, I learned that argon fluo

It's interesting to see how flexible the building is (in terms of conforming to the ground). Obviously you need some bend due to wind/earthquake/etc, but it's rare to see it so obviously.

By the obvious definition of "Stable" of "Not subject to sudden or extreme change or fluctuation," I don't understand how you can compare the stability of Bitcoin as in the same league as traditional currencies. Bit

Not only losing the energy, but heating the atmosphere with it and drastically adding to global warming. See my other response (which I didn't initially realize should have been a response to your post).

Even if this was feasible, atmospheric heating from the microwaves interacting with the atmosphere (as well as water vapor and particles in it) would be a real problem. This would be equivalent to the Sun heating the earth+atmosphere on the

To put this in another context and clarify how ridiculous it is: Modern word processors are getting “helpful” enough that at times I feel like a word processor operator rather than a writer. They have support for spell checking. MS Word can

That was my first thought, too. On the other hand there are probably cheaper ways to beat your competitors than crewing a boat, paying for fuel/electricity, havign a datacenter crew on board, dealing with the challenges of getting a hi

It doesn't help if you need to use satellites, but you cloud use microwave. Microwave is line of sight, which would usually limit you to 40miles, but if you were to have a big blimp tethered to a big barge, then you can increase the li

They have the other stats, but in the drop-down, but consider that this is a situation where in some cases salaries+overtime are 2.5x the base salary. Only a small number of workers are skewed that high, but the overtime is significant for

It has more to do with the amount top athletic programs bring into big athletic schools. If the school is making millions on tickets and TV rights on their top-rated football team, they're willing to pay a lot for a coach that helps th

Very cool visualization. One of the big points of confusion I've had in understanding the press around this has been trying to rationalize the differences between the (union) statements about low base salaries against the (management)

There are a few potential issues with this business model, and I'm curious if/how you've addressed them: 1) if you're taking software IP from one country and moving it into another, aren't you then becoming an impor

Agreed. What linked-in does is absolutely the correct behavior. When someone uses linked-in to send me an email, my response should go directly to the user. This takes Linked-in out of the loop of the conversation, which is perfect. Other n
