According to Verlinde, there is no dark matter. Tell me how he's wrong point-by-point. Just because gravity is emergent doesn't mean it still cannot have effects similar to what's been perhaps wrongly attributed to dark matte

Some feedback for the OP: 1. The tester and another team member spent a year developing something that would intercept calls and relay them. Two problems with that: (1) two person years spent, (2) and that sounds like serious NIH (not inven

(Note: fredley responded when my comment was just the first line about public libraries.) I think this gets too expensive. Instead, I think you need to just serve the lowest denominator and help those that don't even have that with oth

This post gets it close, but what we need is the best tools that can run in a web browser on a public library computer. Many don't even have a Chromebook or RPi. And really what we need are the best tools that can run on the lowest end
