Facts and reason mean little to fascists and authoritarians. Any excuse is sufficient to justify the hatred, fear, and greed needed to run such machines of repression. If the facts don't support the narrative then "alternative fac

The rumors in Aviation Leak were that (one of the) Arora was an external burn (not RDL) unmanned aircraft around Mach 5-6. The "skyquakes" described here set off the local seismometers at regular intervals (eg 7am monday and wedne

The key is this statement buried in the paper. The process starts by illuminating a scene with a monochromatic light source—a laser. What that means is that this only works with monochromatic light. The focal distance would be

Israel's IDF claims 55 commanders and perhaps 5000 Hamas fighters killed, while 17,700 civilians have been killed (over 3:1 ratio). Apparent targeted killings of journalists and aid workers don't help. https://en.wikipe

I think it's interesting to believe that Israel can effectively and permanently take out Hamas (and the like), while they cannot prevent October 7th. Either they have sufficient intelligence/surveillance or they don't. The

Maybe history, social studies, government, or economics classes in highschool should use a spreadsheet to show basic data analysis and statistics (mean, median, mode, stdev). It would be good if there was a more basic understanding of how a

The key is this: The “inert” label is a colloquial misnomer, though. As the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes, inerts aren’t necessarily inactive or even nontoxic. In fact, pesticide users sometimes know very littl

I was surprised they didn't use the word homodyne. One issue they didn't mention, but probably shows up in the noise figures is that homodyne receivers suffer from 1/f noise in the relatively wide band "direct conversion

Didn't the stock price go up _after_ the fact? It's about being able to predict what happens in the future that matters, unless you're supposing that he would have bought immediately before the announcement and sold after.

It's a really nice voltage with lots of support for batteries and up/dn conversion hardware. It's also right at the edge of what is human safe. You can burn yourself and blow up cables, but it's very difficult to electro

The rule of 72 is useful. It would give roughly doubling every 35 years for a 1000years means 28 doublings or a bit over 256million x increase in power usage. Only off by ~50%. I'm guessing that would put the population over a quadrill

So to be simple you're saying the field is the slope (or actually gradient) of the potential. So if it's constant (but high) there is no slope, but significant potential, like being on a mesa. And that difference in potential rath

With that many rearrangeable elements, you could make so many different "valid" solutions, indistinguishable without a photograph, that it would become art rather than a puzzle.
