They aren't trying to solve the problem of 'doing it the best way'. They're trying to solve the problem of 'what else can we do with these high performance batteries'. So they have some where else to put overp

Because of mass, the number of neurons, how many calories we can toss at them, and how many calories a fetus/newborn can be guaranteed. Even if you have trainable brain, with neurons that can communicate with more percentage of the bra

Well I guess it is closer to what "media influencers" are pushing. Painting leadership in the worst possible lights, that for the good of the main characters to come out things need to end (zombie apocalypse or similar doomsdays)

This has been studied a bit. The mammalian strategy of heavily compartmentalizing and duplication, is pretty inefficient.

The ability to eventually update without adding/changing anything the user sees. A better resume wicket. AI HYPE. Appearing on HackerNews.

Synchronous motors can be nice where you have predictable loads, well thought out maintenance schedules, and few surprises. Or worst case just can't deal with AC. Almost nothing falls in that category.

I hope this doesn't become an Every House thing. Right now the price variations act somewhat as a subsidy for heavy industry. Though I'm sure some analyst somewhere had similar words about air conditioners.

Walmart is also perfectly happy to run companies out of business by playing dirty by purposefully playing with orders and inventory. Which they have done to Field Crest when they refused to outsource to their chosen Chinese factories

Quite a few PLCs have ladder logic as a programming language as a selling point. For physical systems it is pretty true.

It doesn't. The electrical world has been using contactor diagrams for complex logic for decades, and with the inclusion of more advanced computer components ladder logic (still the same concepts, symbols and logic) https:/&#x2F

I liked Lisp when I played with it, but realized that when it came to things I shouldn't* play with I wouldn't be able to use it for any serious project. Seriously even lacking a socket api is a sad state for a language (if I wan

Car loans are actually getting featured on Bloomberg for having similar risk last month. Though there were assurances that the same thing wouldn't happen since loan issuers were reining themselves in, that cars were far more liquid th

Do telcos get paid for wire taps? I can't imagine much enthusiasm to make enforcement agencies likely to want another another type of wiretapping system if they're underpaid for the current one.

I exited out of IT programming degree for the military. A big reason was I did math on what my future loans would mean to me to get a bachelor instead of just my associates. Sweating through the nuke program for 3-4 more years (extra compar

The most limiting part is energy storage. Even the other difficult problems like dealing with starting current, construction, heat, and lifetime have been solved many ways for a long time.

I'm not, surprised it's still around. MMOs in general are very good at investment/achievement trapping users. SecondLife also is but their users will spend pretty large sums, I've seen users some 3 grand in (before land

Amazing it's actually a decent study that passes smell tests. 15,000 students used, a success that is based on high rates (20 of 24), and a twenty % difference between groups. I hope they follow up to measure how well information is r

They usually do increase stock prices though, or at least announcements that would be released in places as large as national news channels.

The original malware author is probably already dead for affecting Russian banks. Or having a bad time somewhere for hitting someone outside the law. Don't people realize how dangerous it is to write untargeted malware. :mostly joking

If "you're creating value" there is going to be some sort of network. It can eventually get to the point where you'd wish everyone would just shut up (a pretty common open source Dev complaint).

Do you want 3 letter agencies having more ways to get access to private networks? Right now looking at how the election scandals went they are there at prosecution and have access that they are given willingly.

Malware is more interesting. The site itself doesn't seem to have enough ads or well placed enough ads to be "income as a goal". So I'm guessing it's a " proof I can do stuff " or "trophy room"
