I don't know what to think of it. The article grossly misinterprets the experiment as some sort of magical thought interface, but in fact it's just a utilization of EEG devices and software. But then I read the comment of one of t

That would mean that matter and anti-matter should generally slowly repel (due to the (anti-)gravity), but upon forceful collision they ultimately annihilate each other. That would mean that matter just touching anti-matter should not lea

You still need liability capital for a GmbH (e.g. LLC) which most start-ups just don't have. They start off single or as a GbR with a second or more partners, and then eventually change the company liability type to GmbH, when they g

Applying continuous pressure on solid hydrogen is equivalent to keeping the ice cool to prevent melting. On earth, I suppose, solid hydrogen would melt, boil and slowly evaporate without external pressure, if not furiously explode when mixi

Because there is no way to build a machine to generate continuously very strong magnetic fields (the limit is just below 40T iirc, by room temperature, Bitter Electromagnets). This is magnitudes lower than a 1200T pulse in that article. 40T

It depends on dimensions of the cage, of course, and in case the cage is not grounded the resulting inductive eddy currents could easily melt/ blow up the cage. Provided the magnetic flux is strong enough the cage also could easily be

There certainly are consequences concerning science and research of electromagnetic fields and radiation, fusion power research and application. Direct real world applications? There are none, really. Where would you need 1000 T which basic

According to Maxwell's Equations: faster changes in the current generate stronger magnetic fields. 40 trillion A/s is insane!

In Germany most start-ups are self-funded with maximum personal risk. That means that you only fail once, after that you'll never be able to recover from bankruptcy only to do your next thing. As Germans are not known to be risk taking

I don't think that it breaks quantum mechanics. It shows once again that the results of the double slit experiments are still not completely understood. That idea in the article only means that the Copenhagen Interpretation is being

Powermac g5 and/or power6. I got a CLFS kernel version 3.16 to boot and run (insanely fast) on the g5, but power6 is completely mysterious to me. There is some sort of RHEL linux based firmware running on it, but it seems there is no w

You know, once a machine is running, you can do everything else that's limited by your own imagination. I've been trying to figure out how a powerpc machine is being booted so that I can insert my own 'hello world' OS. S

Less is more, right? Also, there are two kinds of bootloaders: simple + reliable, and bloated + buggy.

Well, say that to an actual computer scientist. They will argue without data science/informatics there wouldn't be any computers in the first place. Steven Levy's Hackers is a showcase that it's true. Coders/Program

I wonder why "data engineer" isn't one of the suggested terms. Scientists do not really program science, nor do programmers research programs, as their respective fields of expertise.

Yes, I see now why it's easier to blame Amazon instead of the traditional publishers.

It's a bit strange though, paradoxical even. Someone publishes a book independently, because posh french publishers didn't think the book would sell. Now that Amazon is involved and being the only way to obtain the book the bookst

Plausible. But it also means bad publicity, and bad publicity is bad for business.

Mainly with the "ad", because that article is about the book, not the actual interpretation that might be insightful (or not) in some way. Besides, much of Nietzsche's late work was indeed rambling, the guy was severely depre
