Because it is bloated. It would run well on iot if you could make your iot device as big and as computationally powerful as a laptop.

You should look again. CREE is very near all time highs actually (especially if you ignore the 2000 bubble). CREE is a large but shrinking LED business tied to a small but growing SiC business. At some point the SiC part will overshadow the

This looks like video jacking. The description talks about acquarius, but the video is about a completely different free piston system being developed by a research group at newcastle university.

They did not talk about oil and how it lubricates itself. Only that it magically does not need oil changes. It is a two stroke engine and two stroke engines do not need oil changes, but that is for a very bad reason, environmentally-wise. T

The main problem with Bulgaria is mobsters and corruption. Bulgarians tend to be hard working and there are a lot of successful Bulgarians abroad but inside of the country one always has to live in fear that too obvious success will attract

That of course was complete bs. The story of him trying to help a fictional Roma was fabricated after the fact to save his ass. What he did is he got drunk and stabbed somebody. Bulgaria does have issues with the rule of law but that partic

I really hate how every company is trying to become a subscription company nowadays. Currently I have several devices constantly nagging me to sign up for some subscription. It is very annoying. And I certainly do not look forward to a futu

Is that a joke? Because if it isn't, I'd hate to tell you but you are wrong. That computer most definitely manipulates electricity. If anyone is about to take this seriously, check out how a transistor works. It most certainly man

The last thing we need right now is to force a bunch people into international air travel. They should not enforce the policy for classes that have been temporarily moved online due to covid.

Depending what application you have but if you have a relatively narrow and complex application, I would say definitely yes.

Carousels are good for things users should be vaguely aware of but are not likely to click on. For example if you have a company that sells a widget, you can have the important menu about buying a widget on the top and below it a carousel o

First of all the assumption of nuclear being low carbon is really doubtful. Nuclear requires fuel and uranium mining is a very expensive and dirty process. The real carbon impact on nuclear depends largely on the quality of the uranium ore

Latin America is an example how the "free market" theory as espoused by the washington consensus is very bad for developing nations. Latin America is the region that most closely follows the washington consensus and they have suff

Turbine engines are quite expensive in comparison to piston engines.

It is interesting how this dovetails with the trade war with China. When the media got all hot and heavy about evil Huawei and how the would use their communication equipment to spy on America, my response was simple. They can't spy on

The Ka-26 is an old design that is long out of production in the official Russian factories. It turns out that while many more capable helicopters have been designed after it, the Ka-26 is ideal for one particular narrow job -- crop dusting

There are established standards for compostable plastics (ASTM D6400 in the US and EN 13432 in the EU). The products of the company I mentioned above comply with those standards as well as many other products I am sure. So if you are lookin

by hristov 6y ago
By the way there is a solution to this plastic issue. Compostable plastics are a reality. See, for example, www.naturtec.com. We could have a world where all cheap plastics that are not expected to last (e.g., water bottles, cutlery, packag

You make a good point. Another good point is that alcohol always comes out worst in these types of studies because it is relatively easy to detect. Blood and breath alcohol tests are prevalent, the police uses them all the time, including o

I also saw his gates in central park. He was a true artist -- his art brought joy. On paper it makes no sense why those things would make me happy, but boy they did.

Yeah I had the same experience. It is really strange because speed is one thing people can practice for. Thus, many intelligence type tests try to give you more time per question so that speed isn't that much of a deciding factor. But,

There is a more insidious reason why employers shun people with high IQs for blue collar jobs. High IQ people may become natural leaders and can start unions or organize workers against management in other ways. High IQ people may find ways

It is not very useful to compare them with flu because people are much more likely to have flu than to have covid. These rates seem very small but remember that the study started in the beginning of february, when there were likely only a h

I was wondering about that too. After some research it seems to be something like poverty. I.e., being deprived of decent living conditions, education opportunities employment opportunities, etc. In the paper they used this index which meas

I am a huge fan of Lem and it is good to see these books are getting new translations and editions. I also like the cool 50s sci fi covers. But something is really annoying me -- why did they spell the name of the author in Polish? You have

I think everybody should carefully read the short section that says "Does the amount of exposure affect the severity?". Some people are looking at antibody studies that show that large parts of the population are somehow affected

I am not sure that these antibody tests mean what people generally think they mean. For example, there seem to be multiple events where people get sick even after it has been established that they have antibodies. Furthermore, people in env

They always promise it will be safe but it usually isn't. I wish we just were not wasting so much money and effort on this. Solar and wind are already far cheaper, we need to be researching energy storage solutions to make the already
