Free banking is a lie. Banks are making money by taxing every transaction you make with your credit card. People would be shocked how much they are paying the bank for the convenience if they were presented with accumulated, monthly payment

Now the only issue is, I will be an instant subject of ridicule if my team sees me using something called "Meow Hash".

You are wrong. "Lift is the force that directly opposes the weight of an airplane and holds the airplane in the air." https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airplane/lift1.html#:~:tex... . Since gravitati

Those planes work in a little bit different regime. For a plane flying straight up you have (usually) two things happening: 1. It is trading kinetic energy for potential energy. 2. They have so much power that their engines can literally li

Actually, it is "pushes-flow-down-so-goes-up". You remember? Action requires opposite and equal reaction? Plane is (mostly) not a rocket and so to be able to fly it has to act on something and the only something up there is air. I

The best way to search for extraterrestial life I heard is a swarm of drones placed in such a distance from the Sun that it acts as a gravitational lens to greatly magnify any planet around any star in even quite large distance from our sys

Am I? How many serious applications have more code than the operating system, all libraries it uses, all extra tools running there to make it work/usable/maintainable, all CPU design, and so on? Even if you just look at the Linux

No, I don't use Spice at all. I am calculating stuff by hand and/or building prototypes (especially when I can't calculate). Sometimes I use Matlab to visualize something I have calculated.

I am amateur EE. My boards aren't very complicated but with exception of RF stuff (which I just don't understand) contain most of the interesting stuff: typically one or more STM32s below 200MHz, some flash, sensors, external inte

If you think about it, two completely different programs running on your PC share most of their code. You just have to be willing to recognize that the operating systems, libraries, even CPU microcode and structure are all part of the progr

Put this in context of a lot of other species who were not able to evolve a mechanism like that. The way I understand this there was likely a very small population of elephants already without tusks, maybe some kind of genetic defect that h

I think this is a wrong measure for something that is happening constantly. We can calculate excess deaths from Covid because we have base (a year before the pandemic), but we can't calculate excess deaths from fossil fuels because we

I know this, but a lot of people may not know because they don't care to read HN. Then they try to board a plane and get rejected.

It is also wrong for one other funny reason. I have been a security officer for a credit card acquiring business and have been designing cryptographic infrastructure for credit card payment systems. I have also implemented a complete credit

This is tiny. A typical power plant produces 1GW. Chernobyl produced 1000MW per reactor. Fukushima produced 1100MW per reactor. So you still holds true that you need many times more of these reactors -- in this case about 4 times.

I disagree. I lost vision to my eye due to chip flying when cutting wood with an axe (carelessly...) If you are looking strictly at accidents in unit of time, than maybe powered tools are more dangerous. But what you should do is look at ac

Safe? Probably. It has negative temperature coefficient without need for control mechanism, water or any other medium supply. When everything around fails it just sits there at its nominal temperature which means it is inherently safe. That

This sounds legit at first sight and I thought so in the past, but as I gain more experience I find it is just an excuse. I thought a lot about entire topic. I think excuse comes from our internal necessity to think as being better than oth
