I think you misunderstand. The largest use-case for full-power is takeoff, and that is where the most energy savings comes from having an electric motor assist during the full-power need. That does not mean that full-power would be unavail

Typically, when one refers to an element as "radioactive" one is either referring to a particular isotope that is radioactive (e.g., C14) or an element in which the most abundant naturally occurring isotope(s) are radioactive (e.g

I think a lot is being lost in the translation here. I mean, Verily's analysis is a laboratory *determined* COVID-19 incidence rate in the sewersheds right? How is it any different from the laboratory *confirmed* incidence rate they

I think the Krakauer book does a great job of describing the nuances of McCandless's level of preparedness. Of course maybe the author has a bias, but it certainly doesn't seem that way to me. McCandless was fairly unlucky despi

"smart"? I'm not so sure. That assumes doing good deeds later (forever later really) is more valuable than doing them now/soon.

I suspect that the impaired splicing leads to a multitude of premature stop codons and stretches of RNA that don't lend themselves well to transcription and/or translation. Longer proteins, have more introns and are therefore mor

I believe the Manhattan project (where we basically built an entire new city, and entire new manufacturing process from scratch: mining operations, refineries, enrichment, milling, etc.) cost less in constant dollars than the stealth fighte

I don't think you appreciate just how much poop we are talking about. One example, Coyote Point is a huge park near San Francisco. Massively large grass fields and hills etc. Very beautiful but the fields are largely unusable becaus

I find that in general, the phenomenon of people parking non-EV cars in EV charging spots has gotten a lot better. I think this probably has a lot to do with the massive increase in tow-away signs I see at these spots. To me, and probably

Hmm. something wierd going on. Both of us don't seem to have a previous comment. Perhaps it got deleted or my memory is going poor. Anyway, my earlier point was that US dollars have an intrinsic value in that they keep you in good s

Already, at my work, even under work-from-home, all the EV charging stations are filled if you get in after 8 am.

You could pay your taxes. And all the others who need to pay their taxes, would need to trade valuable things to you for the dollars they need to pay their taxes. Also, almost all world trade is ultimately settled in dollars. And so, if

Your payback would be a lot faster without a battery I think. At least that is the case where I live (US/East).

One quibble, almost? everything is obvious to a bona fide expert in the field at the time of filing. The legal requirement is that something be non-obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the field.

They wouldn't get 97 cents on the dollar. I'm far from an expert on these matters but I've seen these types of deals before (much much much smaller judgements though). From my limited experienced, for an iron-clad, as close

try high velocity ducted ac, via heat pump. the ducts are 1.5 inch diameter flexible insulated pipes. Alternatively, ductless AC (minisplit) via heat pump. That said, whole house fan is nice.

Something doesn't quite make sense here. It seems there is good evidence that certain figures in Lesne's papers are fraudulent. Certainly that is a huge red flag and it is likely that some (or all) of the findings are wrong. Bu

It does carry severe legal consequences. If you defraud a federal agency into funding your research (which almost always accompanies any fraud in basic scientific research) you are committing a federal crime and you can go to jail.

I think all large scale texas miners use some sort of active cooling (immersion, A/C, etc.). They use a lot of power.

The last time we "reformed" CPUC so that energy markets could be more competitive and reliable, we essentially rendered the whole thing subject to the free markets. Immediately, both PG&E and SoCalEd teetered on the edge of b

non-competes is huge. I've personally been involved in a couple of startups in another country that got hammered by non-compete issues (once even just an implied non-compete). The fact that smart motivated folks can just up and leave

yes but the point is that they love CA DESPITE the tax burden. In other words, tax them. They will come anyway because it is great there. And the taxes will pay for ever more lovely things like nature preserves and clean air and water and

Some of the best public elementary, middle/junior, and high schools in the country are in California. Some of the worst are as well. California as a whole has a pretty good public school system. There are certainly issues. But many

The problem is that there are a decent amount of extremely wealthy people who absolutely do not get anywhere near 1.5 M in yearly "income". Many of these folks live off of things like dividends, capital gains, or even better loan

No sane person of any political persuasion thinks humans are "solely" the reason for climate change. I would even include both Jill Stein and Donald Trump in the category of "sane" in this context (but not most others).

Pre-vaccine and before effective treatments and putting aside the initial attempt to pretend it wasn't happening/hush it up in the very very early days/weeks, it was a wise and impressive response. What worked and was smart
