Well, Tiktok is already banned in Pakistan, India, and China so that's over 3Billion people.

The power could come from anything (solar, wind, wave) other than the dominant current source for all ammonia, the Haber Process. TFA mentions this in the headline? Could this be done before by just using water+air+solar, yes it could. Fran

Yes, it's region banned (not just by IP so VPNs don't even really work well). You'll get a 404, if you try connecting, and your packet rate won't support video through a VPN. Note that it's also banned in HK and Ind

TikTok is literally banned in China (along with YouTube, Facebook, Insta, etc, etc).

Yeah, the breeder reactions are good because they can burn long lasting isotopes, generating short half life and more easily disposable materials, but they also make more of the risky isotopes (those with low critical mass that are more eas

All the process steps are limited by wafers for hour. Lithography (esp EUV) might be slightly faster, but that's not 30% of total steps, since you generally have deposit and etch/implant for every lithography step. It's close

I don't really know either. Deep China to me means anything other than the coastal Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen megacites full of foreigners. Anything interior with less than 20M people, but still 5-15M like Hefei, Wuhan, Xi'an, Ch

I understand this is only a nitpick, but I'd point out that if you've spent any time in "deep china" you'll realize that there isn't connection to much of anything beyond the firewall. Even if you're in a

I assume you mean the perpendicular direction crossing lights? Most pedestrian lights have delays longer than that in California for safety so you might stop at a green light. Also, if nobody presses a button ped-lights don't even tur

I'm wondering how you would know when the yellow light was going to come on. Do you have some sort of countdown, or innate knowledge? Because, otherwise do you just randomly stop at green lights guessing that a yellow light might come

Wow, yeah a 10B parameter model is pretty tiny and 300 3-GPU clusters for $18M is not really cheap. I guess enormous is in the eye of the beholder.

Yes, but unless it’s incredibly boutique, the buyer would both be tasting the beans and running tests on the product. It’s not that hard/expensive. The large low margin chocolate manufacturers (Mars, Mendelez) definitely already test,

I can really understand. It's quite clever marketing and non-experts (media and politicians) are quite easily drawn in. Then of course, they can't admit they're wrong so they'll build a multi $B boondoggle with little to

To be fair, green hydrogen in a fossil fuel shill talking point (so that they can sell more blue/grey). Hydrogen shipping and end-end efficiency are terrible. Make ammonia instead, if you're into that sort of thing.

It's interesting that in the main study this is based on (for metals rather than BPA etc) they state both that the average results are dominated by outliers and that, "As a whole, products in later cohorts (2016, 2019, 2022)

If you're getting paid (or have historically been like at FAANG) a significant amount in stock, you've been willing to put up with 50+ hour work weeks and crazy management schedules. If there are layoffs, management reorgs, and ve

Every bacteria in the Petri dish doubles each generation, until it doesn’t. It really doesn’t seem like a winning bet (other than fear mongering popularity), because you’re unlikely to be right, and when you are things seem to be falling ap

I think the parent's experience has as much to do with being remote and at a satellite office as anything else. You're not going to hear a lot of bitch/moan on conference calls or even on Slack (which everyone knows in monito

One problem would be that you can't just check the URL, you'd have to check the content. Not only are there many URLs that could point to the same content, but content on a page can obviously change. I suppose you could compare ag

Exactly, if you're only 1cm off the surface you follow every nook and cranny. If you're 10km off the surface only Everest is a blip.

The only issue I see with this is that as a classic physics trope, we've approximated the earth as a sphere. If, instead we approximate it as a fractal... then the distance is infinite, or at least highly dependent on the thickness of

In order to increase interaction it will always default to playing movies that will cause the most disagreement between people in the room. You will have to pay to create family harmony and keep it from showing your children (or your parent

I really wish PieAdblock was in the article headline, since it's more relevant. "UBlockOrigin GPL code stolen by Pie Adblock Extension and Honey team" Of course Pie is scummy, it is brought to you by the people behind Honey.

The classic thing people say is "asking the right question" gets you half way there. Your approach sounds like something I call "getting to No" for a problem. It's sort of a combination of "getting to know&quo

I mostly agree with you, especially for OLED. The use of "pentile", vert RGB, RGBY, and RGBW of various rotations makes it a pain. However, they already do super-resolution, transport compression, local dimming and other tricks in

I'd have to agree. It doesn't matter WSJ, NYT, WaPo, LAT, Trib, all garbage. When I started to see grammar mistakes and typos in the NYT, I knew it was over. They were optimizing for clicks not correctness. The infotainment that

One thing that goes unmentioned about room temperature superconductors is that they store energy as well. U = (B2/(2u0))V. 2u0 is about 2.5E-6N/A2 So a 1m3 7T magnetic field would be about 20MJ or 7KWh. That doesn't sound li

Totally agree, and wouldn't really comment on it except to say that the cheapest Sawstop is $1-3k even on blackfriday. That's not really in the same league as other jobsite saws that are $100-300. Each one really is a ~10x step in
