I think it's intentional. A lot of creators of computer display technology (physical) and computer vision based algorithms use a "standard image set" to present their invention's performance against a common benchmark, l

I was going to look this up to verify, but realized googling "do they still sell actual human..." probably isn't something I want in my search history. So, I'll just say, as a not-noo-fuzzy-recollection, I'm pretty

I did it with my wife about 3 times, in the US. One in a very nice yoga retreat place and twice in a cozy home. It was OK. I thought the evolution and music were interesting and soothing, but honestly, the thing that turns me off is the ove

That's not my point. My point was that, even with hockey sticks that are symmetrical, there is an asymmetry to hand functions/position. If you look at what they call "left-handed" stick, the blade is on the left hand sid

I've always thought the right handed guitar was actually left-handed. I'm a lefty and play a 'right handed" guitar, but all the dexterity needed is in the left hand (pressing the fret board in intricate ways). For things

I'm not sure why I'm bothering, but here is the definition of a "catalyst" [1], which states that a catalyst promotes a reaction that would otherwise require higher temperature. Here is a description of how hydrogen can

Probably overhyped, but Hydrogen Oxygen gas liberation from H20 followed by recombination and electricity production in an H2 fuel cell (exhausting water again) is very well known and used frequently. The difference is that normally the Hyd

Cool I'll give it a shot. I actually don't mind booking flights, but I truly loathe expense reporting. If you can do that task then you have a customer for life my friend.

When looking at the disc brooch, it's interesting to note that while each quadrant appear generally symmetrical, the branches that cross over or under are not consistent. A branch in one quadrant crossing over another actually crosses

C'mon, you're pulling my leg this company name, right? I mean, it's no PNAS[1], but it definitely got my attention and gave my 12yr-old inner self a chuckle. I guess I'm really just a 12yr-old in an old man's body.

Interesting read. Apparently, a lot of this expansionism is an attempt to restore China to it's original boundaries - prior to the "Century of Humiliation" (1) You would think we could all just learn from the past and move in
