The work required for moving the RTG up a slight hill might just negate the energy you gain from it. An RTG is not really meant to move itself very fast. Consider the Mars rovers, they move extremely slow but benefit from the stable, long t

It would take days to fully charge an EV from a typical RTG and there's no way an RTG could put out enough power to even keep an EV rolling on a flat highway at highway speeds. They are good for remote, unmanned stations but not much e

You don't necessarily have to engage in predatory pricing if you can sell in such volume that you can get better prices than a mom and pop as well as offering a one stop shop for most consumers. You don't even need to raise prices

Forcing companies to break up can have the unintentional effect of creating cartels where the previously joined companies of similar size work together to push out smaller companies with price fixing. If there is only so much business to be

I went to a GnuRadio conference a few years ago where a lot of presentations were on directional tracking of signals. One huge issue is that truckers are using GPS jammers that plug into the cigarette lighter socket to block the truck track

Sriracha isn't trademarked in any way. Anyone can make it and sell it in a similar bottle. Unless some restaurant specifically mentions Huy Fong or shows the rooster logo, the sriracha they are using is probably a generic version made

People not able to scrape together enough for a down payment on a house aren't magically going to be able to afford one if landlords need to sell their properties. A decrease in market value of rental properties due to major increase i

I had to reread this part a couple times: "How do you scare a Bellhead?" he begins. "First, show them something like RealAudio or IPhone. Haha, I forgot IPhone was a trademark before the iPhone.

You could do something very basic with discrete components for controlling wireless lighting systems but system starts to get out of hand when you need to have a bunch of lights nearby. It's much cheaper, simpler, and smaller to reduce

There's an LED on the box that says whether you are good or not. Seems like the check is only at start-up via a bluetooth connection so if you turn on the box and it's green, you're good to go.

No fucking clue. Some people like to leave jokey memo lines but I'm glad none of my friends have done something like that outside of the "friends only" option. I just say what it's for or give it a generic name like &quo

Not everyone buys an old 4x4 to go up and down muddy hills. Some people just want to be able to get to work in inclement weather but don't want to buy new or need to spend a lot on parts. If an old 4runner was the only thing in my pric

Last I checked, airbags are not required by any government nor are they a standard option on motorcycles. If you wish to wear one, either spend the $400 upfront or pay for the subscription for the months you do ride. The monthly subscriptio

The crank reminds me of one of a handheld electronic fishing game I used to have as a kid. I didn't see a fishing game listed but that would be pretty fun.

In your first transaction, you just set it to private so only you and the recipient (and Venmo and whatever gov't agency) can only see the memo line. The amount is always private. The setting sticks after that so you don't ever ne

Being out in the middle of the ocean with only INS supposedly keeping you on track is different than a GPS receiver that you can look at and see that you are not where you should be. Obviously the same thing would happen if no one was payin

You can do a few things: - Laser off the part marking. Not knowing what a part is makes the job much more difficult - One time programmable chips: can't modify or read off firmware if the JTAG bus is disabled - Encrypted firmware: help

The vendor asks for your information before selling you the part. There's two different regulations when it comes to this kind of stuff. ITAR is for pretty much anything defense related. It's not easy buying something ITAR as a re
