Put a motor-generator pair next the solar or wind farm and the problem of frequency stabilization is largely solved. Adds a big flywheel for more initial mass. But now you've changed the economics by adding a big, inefficient (0.95*0.9

For short term stabilization, say within time constant of fifteen minutes, of course you use hydro or nat gas. But the electrical industry makes very careful predictions of the next day's power consumption; that is within a time frame

And people who care more for gatekeeping will stick to academic echo chambers. The list of community driven medical discoveries encountering entrenched professional opposition is quite long. Both models are fallible, which is why discernmen

You cite the form you encountered and if you're any good of a researcher you will have encountered the original 4chan anon post, Borges' short story, or Chomsky's linguistic paper.

Big boom booms are easy. Nuclear bomb design research since the sixties is all about making them as clean and low yield as possible. These two goals are counters to each other, but once you've mastered it your nuclear arsenal becomes l

If they're identical and in phase, the addition is obviously a multiplication by 2 -> 6dB. If they're unrelated the signals can also cancel out. So not 6bB. If not 6 dB then what is it? An integral that has already been solved

Almost ten years ago I wanted to draw out the first thirty numbers in factored groups as shown here. It was to put in my baby daughters bedroom. Never got around to it. This is timely, as she's factoring in school now.

The US spends, per capita, more public funds on education and health care than any other industrialized nation in the world. Some of the worse performing schools in the US have the most per capita funding.

Oh, Im sorry I think I mis interpreted you. You want to talk about the crypto, not why the pointy stick is in Paris. Then we're in agreement

by mousethatroared 1y ago
But the article is about the crypto message. Yet it also mentions why the obelisk is in Paris: a gift from the, Muslim, Ottoman, ruler of Egypt to France.

And speed. So many problems would go away if we drastically lowered vehicle speeds. For starters we could drive lighter built cars.

Its not obvious to me that EV buses (or any EV vehicle, frankly) make sense. [1] Hybrid and CNG make a lot of sense though. [1] Run the math and hybrids come ahead of EVs in personal vehicles for GHG emissions. For buses it would be more

by mousethatroared 1y ago
The problem with buses is that utilization is very low. Most buses, most of the time, run near empty. This also significantly i creases their overall passenger mile GHG emissions. Hybrid buses and CNG probably make sense. But I doubt, fully

Im in favor of raising the gas tax to fully cover road maintenance. We're back to square one - it doesn't cover the $100/hr that a cleaner has to subsidize. Give me a proposal, or an explanation, that makes this fair and Ill

Let's agree that the service should be subsidized. Let's establish that Im amenable to a free service 100% tax payer. I am, in fact amenable to this. How do you establish fairness though? Best case scenario, say in the US ex-NYC,

Is it surprising though? Without looking up the data, off the top of my head. The bus driver needs a commercial license with air brakes, is a public employee and has benefits. He has to be making 75k/year + overhead. Let's say ove
