Way, way, way before a laser runs into any sort of hard stop regarding atmospheric effects, it crosses the line into military power and can vaporize anything it wants. Also your statement seems incorrect to me, there is no hard stop for las

Pretty much every study ever has found a correlation of more fruits = healthier. That majority of studies just group fruits and vegetables together because they basically have the same effect as vegetables in terms of above correlation. Fru

I was just about to respond to one of the many "oh, the bias!" comments when I ran across your comment. I find it likely if one feels the article is biased, it is likely that person is biased in the other direction. The project w

There is a huge divide between "oh hey you didn't read the license and missed the fact that this OS addon takes 2%" and "the license said 2%, but it's actually 30%, oops my friend!"

It only has one usb port. If you want to use the port for something other than wifi, then you would have to add a usb hub that would cost more and be dangling off. I have the intuition that integral wifi is table stakes for a general comput

So you don't think I have "any basis" for saying that was not a factor in deciding to buy a phone? Do you know people? Most don't pay much attention things of this nature, the people on this board are not even close to t

The footprint of a nuclear power plant is pretty huge. That machinery is generally not optional even if doing a "fire and forget" design. Underground space would come at a premium cost, likely far more than could be saved on react
