For me I lose my appetite for about a half hour, I was taught it's simply blood from your stomach being used elsewhere. After a short recovery period I'm definitely extra hungry.

For a successful academic, making a bunch of money in a lawsuit is the polar opposite of what they want to do with their life. If you value doing science and inventing things and mentoring students and the prestige that comes along with it,

And here I was hoping for something non-vacuous, like that you should have to pay a price when you buy something and when you dispose of it. Is it insightful now that buying stuff you won't use is a waste of money? This is why you sh

I believe that converting Ga2O3 back into gallium metal should not necessarily release any CO2, just the O2 that I suppose was originally in the atmosphere anyway. You should be able to do it with heat, electrolysis hydrogen + heat to reduc

Yeah, I was about to say... as great as this seems like it may be, surely turning CO2 into coal isn't a net gain versus not burning the coal. But there are plenty of point emitters of CO2, so if we imagine a grid that's actually r

It's actually pretty well defined, the issue is that the winners rarely see a reason to hold themselves accountable. https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/war-crimes.shtml The US agreed to this definition,

I'm pretty sure that if they want to ban Bitcoin mining they will just say it is illegal. They're actively shooting protestors in the streets, I think at some point you stop worrying about the technical details and just put the da

Many people have an ethical sense that if something is understood to not be done to them they will not do it to others. It takes a while for people to learn that, with exceptions, companies have never heard of this rule. But it's under

That's very weird. I don't know much about office politics but it seems suspicious that your manager wasn't there to directly address your complaints. Here's how I figure it. Let's say they felt they had conveyed th

Yeah, I read that so I was quite surprised that those state of the art units are entirely out of stock too. It is clearly quite a lot worse than that blog post says. I was ready to buy a 3B+, 4B, Zero, anything compatible with their camera,

I doubt that this comment will surface to the point where the OP can find it, but just in case -- I'm not sure if it's obvious whether they're saying that you need to improve communicating or improving something technical. On

I think they are just unrelated... I don't really see it as a hit piece, all sides here sound reasonable. It will be interesting to see what the end solution is. I think that the author would have shown a strong opinion on how to resol

Not sure about derivatives, but an integrator is just a rotating disk with a ball on it, both spherical. The ball rolls over the disk from friction, and the spinning is the magnitude of the output integral. The input function is the positio

I want to put together a DIY water cistern out of a 55 gallon barrel by connecting an inlet straight to the tap water through a fine filter. According to the CDC it's fine to store water that way for like 3 months at least, so we can u

Yeah, at the least you can just sample from a gaussian distribution around the nominal value; the shape is probably wrong but it's got to be better than assuming no error. Or you could just do error analysis on the formula to find out

Can't really argue with that, I found the actual responses very polite as well. I absolutely criticize nothing. I don't think "F2018 conformance will be fixed faster if..." implies that there is any actual timeline at al

Yeah, it kind of works that way in the US as well, though over-regulation of trades is more our tendency for sure since it keeps out competition from existing players (of course mostly the existing players get a say in the process). I won&#
