I think you may be referring to US copyright law as opposed to European (which I thought was more lenient and should govern Boltzmann's work). I think it's like sheet music that is in the public domain, they use the threat of lega

This is a super frustrating phenomenon given that more recent work was typically funded publicly in some way... Nit: I'm not sure if I'd call Black-Scholes a law of the universe

I just confirmed that the PDF links for Boltzmann prompt me for a sign-in.

This is similar to the scenario that cost David Sokol his job with Berkshire.

You're completely right, let me rephrase to reinterpreting insider trading. I was specifically thinking of Bonan Huang and Nan Huang.

Let's say they've been changing the definition of insider trading. See: Bonan Huang and Nan Huang

Publicize on it. Imagine an ad where they demonstrate how flawed their competitors product is by showing you anyone can watch you on it?

I'd be concerned that taking any action with securities could be construed as insider trading (the SEC has been expanding the definition recently). On the idea of giving/selling the information to a competitor (possibly for some s

I'm literally working on this now as a side project. If the avenue I'm exploring is successful the concept of hiring artists will be completely changed.

Serious question: ignoring issues with O3 toxicity, could you strap a plasma wind generator to the front of a car to create downforce and reduce air resistance? Thinking through it I suspect the numbers don't line up for it to be feasi

I've worked for the really rich. In my experience/opinion I don't think they're evil but are focused on having more for the sake of having more. They grew up in such a way that they believe they are more skilled/h

Ironic article given the innate moral hazard for VC firms on the subject. The interests of funding VCs and startup employees only align in unusual cases.

I was granted 10,000 shares at a startup I worked for. I asked them "what does a share represent as a portion of the current company?" "We don't divulge that information." I am not going to lock up a huge portion

You mean horrific levels of entitlement?

Yep, just read to the bottom. It appears like it has properties similar to that of a wormhole but its more cloaking.

I hadn't heard of the 225xe, that's a much more intelligent build out.

Close, except for they lobbed a motorcycle engine into an electric car and called it a "range-extender" but the engine can't generate power to meet maximum demand of the car's electrical system. So, instead of putting th

Nope, the Mazda i-ELOOP system scavenges waste kinetic energy to run only the electrical system as opposed to augmenting propulsion. It's a step in the right direction but is a 5% efficiency gain opposed to a 50% gain.

Edit: corrected a mistaken assessment here. Yes, Volt is closest on the market but it's a horrible car. My point is that every single car produced from VW to Ferrari can get 50% better fuel efficiency if the auto manufacturers changed

I'm seriously waiting for auto-makers to pull their heads out of their asses and start putting kinetic energy capture systems into every car, economy to performance. The absurdly priced Porsche 918 is the only car to date that takes

I agree with your premise that the answer to "what algorithm lies halfway between JinJerry and YOLOBOT" is difficult to ascertain but I have heard of zero effort at trying to answer such a question. In the end I could see a scenar

How would you have prevented huge schisms during the IE push? In a world where invalid HTML documents aren't rendered at all we could have had the evolution of the format dictated by Microsoft because of their market position.

Einstein demonstrated, from both sides of the coin, that people prefer things to make sense and be reasonable. Relativity challenges that. Quantum mechanics challenges that. The seeming lack of naturalness challenges that.

On a related note, is anyone familiar with the blank segments on ITAR? I have been puzzling over what they could be reserved for for a few years now.

This entire post/thread appears questionable. From what I can tell there appears to be 5-6 accounts in coordination (2 are easily identified). What's even funnier is that, while I don't disagree with Alec's statements,
