Well, he's come a long way from being a horrible chemist to being an average chemist. Took him a few years to realize that chemistry is tedious work and you can't take shortcuts or it doesn't work, unless you spent a lot of t

We're not complaining about making papers more accessible, but about the clickbait and the resulting misrepresentation.

I do not believe in charity. This is another datum to add to the list. Don't care about no Simons Foundation. Just don't like the clickbait of quantamagazine. Never got anything out of any of their articles, would much prefer if t

Imho you can outright ban quantamagazine articles while you're at it. It's hilarious that there is an intersection of tabloid press and theoretical physics, but it's also a massive waste of everyone's time.

Well, that's the immediate problem if it leaks in your laptop. But OP is probably referring to its ability to dissolve aluminium. Go watch a video on youtube, "gallium vs aluminium" or sth like that, it's quite scary.

Their business model is of course tracking all the shovels and then selling the locations of all the gold.

Currently 30% of the comments in this thread are you claiming that. Why are you so invested in this that you resort to spamming it all over? Someone else pointed out that this yacht traveled through germany and poland too. Nobody knows anyt

The man did great things, but this quantum effect consciousness nonsense is a case of nobelitis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_disease

No idea where the 600$ come from, they did it with a laptop and a teensy. That article is pretty much garbage, referencing "spiegel", which itself is pretty clueless about this kind of stuff. This whole "elon mode" thing

I don't think that is quite right. Afaik, historically, in japan, green is a shade of blue. And they didn't comply with international standards, they aren't part of the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals.

If you don't care about government surveillance, stock lineageos is a completely degoogled android distribution. You could install it for example on a galaxy s10 or similar android phones. Careful when flashing, you might brick the pho

Cause it's the cheapest insulation. Not only is it plastic, it's also flammable and likes to revert to it's toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic precursor styrene.

Most brutalists might have been into socialism but definitely not most socialists are into brutalism. So blaming socialists for the failures of brutalism is logically wrong.

So maybe it was the blind (I'd say ignorant, grandiose, paternalistic) application, and not the principles, that caused the misery? Btw, I'm neither a socialist or proponent of modern architecture. Will call those out for their bs

I don't disagree, but i don't like how you make out socialism as the villain, sounds like you grew up with a lot of cold war propaganda. The absence of socialism means violence and war. If the states had a working social system, c

I've been a melancholic Firefox user since it was called Netscape... Tried Brave on my phone, but it managed to generate 90mb of network traffic in 10min where another browser takes 5mb. No idea what it did, I instantly lost trust.

Opening the door wastes energy. And it seems, mindlessly going to the fridge to see what's inside even though you know exactly whats inside, is a thing many people are doing. So there is an argument to be made, that a camera in the fri

Hey, i wasn't aware of nitrogen's narcotic effects. That led me down to this hilarious madness: "Hydreliox is an exotic breathing gas mixture of hydrogen, helium, and oxygen" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

No they are not, they are paying someone to do it someday. Those someone are shady. No carbon is currently removed from the atmosphere. Even when operational it will be a tiny fraction of what they are causing. It's a marketing stunt w

Yes, afaik, direct air capture currently is miniscule and when it is happening the co2 is sold on the market, where it replaces waste-product-co2, so in the end no co2 is actually removed from the atmosphere. It's currently in research

Sadly those are almost certainly greenwashing bullshit. John Oliver did a piece on that. Also there was this guardian review that didn't find a single satisfactory project among 50. https://www.theguardian.com/environme

Well i learned a different lesson. It's now extremely easy to set up a global transaction network, or you can choose from one of the thousands of existing ones. Maybe you mean the regulatory aspect, not the technical?

Oh, if it were also smaller and lighter, we'd be in heaven. If it weren't for the proprietary devil lurking in the corner, showing us a fake heaven while having us in chains, sucking the life of our dreams.

Yeah gastroenterologists in Germany are a shitshow (no pun intended). They all invested heavily into colonoscopy equipment and now must always do them for financial reasons. I was outright refused treatment when i didn't want colonosco
