It’s not 2 kW/100 m^2. It’s 2-5 kW per a stack of 100 double-sided 10 m x 10 m squares. That’s 2 kW/20000 m^2.

You didn’t “merely point it out”, you described it as “hilarious”. This implies that you view the disclosure as some sort of evidence of impropriety, as if you discovered what game they were truly playing or something. As others have told y

At one point, I was travelling with my dad when the "shoes off" policy was relaxed (I think the shoes-off policy was relaxed a couple of weeks/months after the shoe bomber plot, but I can't recall exactly when -- and the

It says in the link that the company had the discretion to pay between $300 and $5000 per patent, and they paid him $110000 for 30 patents ($3667 average), which means that the patents he was generating were not useless. And the fact that t

I’m confused as to who actually owns the patents. The title says “Ford stole tech [...] from MIT, professors say”, but the lawsuit is “Ethanol Boosting Systems LLC v. Ford Motor Co.”. I’m not certain how IP rights works at MIT, but if the p

Less the notes and scales themselves, and more polyrhythms and phasing. This reminded me of Steve Reich's Clapping Music , and similar phasing-heavy works ( Piano Phase , Drumming , Music for Pieces of Wood , 6 Pianos/Marimbas

I'm far from an expert. I don't trade professionally (i.e. I don't derive my income from it), and I'm a chemical engineer by day. I think the best resource for anyone starting out investing would be "A Random Walk D

Oh, I didn't want to address that because I wasn't sure if the person above was generically referring to all ETFs and ETNs as "index funds", when I was specifically responding to someone who was suggesting that they we

What index funds doesn't Vanguard offer?

But you could buy those same ETFs with the same $0 fee on Vanguard (or Fidelity and a couple other platforms now), a substantially more established financial firm, and you could keep your residual cash in well established money market f

That's odd. I've always had the option for partial direct deposit (redirect a fixed $ amount or redirect a fixed % from each check to different accounts). Even my college job at a café had that option (to be fair, the checks were

NMS regulations do not apply to "odd lots" (orders <100 shares). This likely constitutes 99.9999999999% of trades done on Robinhood (and most retail trading, to be fair).

No, companies create excess value and grow. Tesla pre Model 3 is a very different company than Tesla post Model 3. A drug company is very different if they've patented a new wonder drug. New companies come into existence and offer shar

The people in r/wallstreetbets usually understand that they're making stupid bets. OTOH, r/Robinhood is full of completely irresponsible traders -- trading in illiquid securities, dumping tons of money in penny stocks, trigge

I couldn't find anything either. My guess would be that you aren't technically in the PhD program until you've passed your qualifying exam. Until that point, you're a graduate student but not a PhD student. After you pas

I have a non-heated non-electric one. It has a mechanical flow control and it branches off from the main toilet line, so you're getting tap-temperature water. It's surprisingly comfortable to use (and I used it in New England in t
