You’ve been provided with links to an article from a credible source, a paper, and a video, and you say you don’t believe any of it. The physics of this effect are both well known and easily demonstrated. What level of evidence is require

I don't think they mean this as power storage, rather, shifting the location of power usage to the place where power prices could be ridiculously low. Smelting bauxite is an energy-intensive process. If you do it in China, you need t

The trouble these communities face is when the online words spill out into real world action. I have no conceptual issue with nazis talking online about loving Hitler, but we have learned that these communities tend to become rallying poin

Comcast has had a pretty poor track record w/r/t their statements of what they do or don't do versus reality, and this goes back well over a decade (see: denials of Sandvine deployment). I personally was impacted by this beha

That specific claim is covered and debunked in the article. Short version: the seeds in the painting are black, which means the fruit is ripe. This won't happen to "starred" melons.

Embedded in your response is the general attitude one hears when concerned about not being able to do "a thing" in the Apple ecosystem: why would you want to do that? Questioning the use case and insisting that one doesn't ac

I can think of one commercial case for people in space: servicing existing systems in orbit. There have been a handful of STS missions that involved EVAs to service everything from the Hubble's famous mirror to correcting launch issue

IIRC Silverlight won a few deals for streaming media because it had the only semi-functional DRM solution available at the time.

If you're going to run alternatives to cloud services and call that good enough, then the same is also true for mainframe development. Meaning, I can't run DynamoDB locally but PostgreSQL is close enough for most tasks, so sure I

I would suspect this is because HF doesn't actually manufacture tools, they're a distributor with some white-label brands (all with hilariously "American" sounding names). This is also true of companies like Grizzly, wh

SBD and TTI each have various tiers of tool offerings, and while they may share outward physical design aspects, they are pretty clearly stratified when it comes to the parts inside. Using B&D vs DeWalt as the example here, you'll

That might be because Grizzly doesn't actually make anything, they buy from Asian tool manufacturers and rebadge for western distribution.

I think the fact that you find more people in the world with technical talent who are also poor has a lot to do with the fact that there are a lot more poor people in the world than rich. If a talent is equally spread throughout humanity,

To the contrary, it makes this story all the more interesting. It certainly brings a new wrinkle to a news event I hadn't thought about in a while.

Your experience is typical even in the cleanest of AC power conditions. Powerline is hilariously oversold and regularly provides less than 25% of the advertised throughput. This blogger has some great examples: https://specklepa

Can you give some details on the test methodology used? You are more than doubling the throughput of any publicly-posted performance tests I've seen. If your tests show > 1gbit of throughput on a device which has a 1gbit port, some

One problem is the cost of these devices. The unit shown in this article sells for $1500. Another is the slow refresh rate, which is often-times fine for tasks like reading a large set of text (ebooks, entire newspaper sheets, etc), but m

3M makes masks specifically for welding (3M 8515). Due to current circumstance, they can't be had for any price (they are also N95 rated), but normally that would be the solution to your problem.
