I think understanding the why of mathematics makes all the difference between forgetting it soon after an exam, and being able to use it later in life. I sometimes find myself needing to return to something I once knew in high-school /

I don't think it's smart to build a medieval style city in this age, due to transportation concerns. But I think there's merit in using computation to plan and simulate a soulful city.

The biological hardware for producing hydrogen already exists; green plants make use of an oxygen-evolving complex to split water into oxygen and hydrogen, and the hydrogen then goes on to pump ATP synthase. However, storing hydrogen is pro

Encrypted protocols are often not fully encrypted, and expose enough to determine the nature of the traffic, if not the content. Even TLS, leaving Server Name Indication (SNI) unencrypted. Fortunately there is work underway to encrypt SNI.

I imagine a problem with that solution is that most of the time, the solid isn't behaving as a liquid. The partitions / baffles may complicate unloading, as you can't just pipe the solid out; a conveyor belt is typically used

It's costly and unnecessary if you can ensure that the cargo behaves as a solid. There's also the issue that once behaving as a liquid, it can then seize to do that, and remain in a slumped state.

It seems strange to me that the LA Times would cut off European users, when they presumably have to comply with the new California Consumer Privacy Act, which is similar, anyway.
