   True, but those are usually not on a moving vehicle and have the luxury of being as heavy and big as desired. Engines on ships instead are limited by weight and size, engines on cars/trucks a little bit more, engines on planes much mor

   Hydrogen is gaseous at normal temperatures. Both Kerosene and hydrogen are flammable, but being gaseous means that the resulting exothermic reaction will happen much faster and thus the energy will be released much more violently (think:exp

   You are confusing combustion efficiency with thermal efficiency. Having a combustion efficiency of 100% does not mean that 100% of the energy stored in the propellant is transformed into kinetic energy (the thing the plane is interested in)

   I understand the advantages of an electrical motor to an ICE, but I have doubts regarding your third paragraph. The energy density of Li-Ion batteries best-case scenario is around 1 MJ/kg, whilst Kerosene is 42.8-42.6 MJ/kg. That&

   Most industries can profit from more, better information. The entire field of data science is evolving so quickly and I truly believe it will bring huge productivity changes 10-20 years down the line.

   This was not a good idea to read at work. I tried to control the giggle but still coworkers noticed and I had to show them. It's hard not to anthropomorphize the neural net and have a little bit of pity/laughter at its struggle to

   The article has a point, but I dislike the heavily condescending attitude of it. At the same time, I do believe that social media is a mixed bag. It is great for interaction with the community (even I have gotten two responses from Musk him

    I'm tired of ads, tired of how they make me waste my time, attempt to manipulate me, tired of the billions we spend (read: waste) each year on the entire ad industry. Millions of hours of smart brains wasted on getting people to click

    I know I sound like a fanboy, but fast.ai and Jeremy Howard are just so level-headed and "practical". I highly recommend anybody that wants to get into ML/DL to try out the 2 coursers they offer. Really fantastic way of teach

    I mean, what he said IS tecnically correct. You can easily fit a 256-bit key in a 128GB micro SD. Sure, there will be a lot of space left, but what he said is technically correct :D

    I've been hearing about an incoming correction since 2013. As always, no one has any clue when it is coming and the age old tenet holds true: Time in the market beats timing the market.

    I am vehemently against that notion. If your only point of contact is people who speak spanish, you will never learn english. If your only point of contact is people that think that the world is flat, then most likely you will grow up belie

    What if you grow up around insane people? What if you are daily surrounded by people with faulty reasoning and illogical, biased conclusions? Would you not adopt these neural mechanics too? You are a product of your environment, and if your

    I'm curious as to what your theological beliefs are? How come you list Jesus (which I would understand if you are christian) but also, in the same breath, Buddha?

    So it seems that quantum particles do not "choose" their state until observed. I've heard this multiple times now, including in this article (demonstrated by the 33 sticks analogy). I'm curious, has any research been don

    I'd advise to anyone living outside of city centers to step outside sometime when it is dark, and try to spot something in the sky. There is lots of things to spot! You do not need a telescope, the naked eye is more than enough. Not on

    I can attest to this working quite well. On a related note: In Mediterranean countries there is often the tradition of sleeping "siesta", a short nap in the afternoon. Seems to have some use.
