I'm super excited to see papers talking about these topics in detail, food journals are amazing. It was a bit dense for me in parts, but isn't it a very standard bread cooking trick to stick a cast iron pan in the oven to give it

Within reason, I personally am not offended by small variations based on legitimate negotiating for larger volumes (or even smaller volumes). I feel like most places will give you at least a bit of a discount if you offer something in retur

I almost only see this for very expensive non-commodity products. I think in these industries the vendors at least believe that they are more likely to make a sale if they do it person-to-person over the phone. I don't know if they&#x2

Postdoc pay is ridiculous, I had a job I was really interested in but the second they said it was a postdoc all I could hear was "this will not pay the rent". I don't get it. Urban universities are just so preferred that they

I've heard this dream a few times, and have had it myself. Hazardous waste disposal and storage. This is the big kicker for any research project I might want to do. Every other expenses after getting that set up is trivial (in comparis

Assuming you are working at PNNL I agree they have a great program. One of the few places I've collaborated with that understood the upsides involved. I do see more and more educational opportunities and attempts to be forward looking

It is probably roughly analogous (I do consulting but not specifically coding), but much of my "down time" truly is "letting the ideas percolate" because properly thinking through what you're planning to do slowly a

You sound like you're defining "development" when you talk about the difference between the future and present values of something. But I guess if the people actually doing the development pay interest to the people they got

Get one of these and you don't even need to populate a connector on the PCB, just buy the programmer once. https://www.tag-connect.com/ I prefer the style with the little hook legs.

Your edit is an excellent point, thanks for the addition. If it is white in the visible but black in the infrared that could help with cooling sure. Personally I'd probably focus on windows and solar insolation from that first, especia

You are absolutely correct, but the ratios of their availability, because they are a byproduct, all go up by the same proportion. It's hard to avoid excesses of the less useful ones with shortages of the more useful ones. More useful o

Right, it doesn't actually exist. It is a technical definition that by definition absorbs no light, it isn't a practically realizable thing.

I cannot think of any reason why blue would ever have a lower emissivity than actual white. Rare earths are not going to come down in price, in my opinion. They're used in too many places and have too few sources. The US has a rare ear

Of course, they have the right to do whatever. What is interesting is the timing. Why is Facebook comfortable demonstrating to what extent they are somehow linked to wall street? That's just an odd choice, I wouldn't have made a c

What is actually interesting to me is that it would be shocking of Robinhood didn't anticipate getting sued over this. It smells and looks like halting trading because their owners didn't like the result. Maybe the lawsuit will fa

Thank you for the explanation, I do agree that such a system does discourage you from using less expensive suppliers... assuming a lack of competition which you rightly point out is the bigger issue. Of course, if there were sufficient hone

While true, wouldn't the point of such a rule be to provide a framework for fighting against exactly that? Without the rule they don't even need to try to manipulate the books, so there's even less to find as evidence that mi
