Wifi 5 and 6 had several "waves" of half-baked, broken implementations of MU-MIMO and OFDMA with many consumer routers and such missing features. I'm not surprised people are skeptical.

I have nothing against Copenhagen per se (I prefer Rovelli's RQM which is a minor extension of it), it's that until we have evidence otherwise there's quite a space of consistent metaphysics that are equally valid. That freed

Super determinism is a perfectly valid interpretation of quantum mechanics no less valid than Copenhagen. It's a bigger shame most students aren't taught that Copenhagen is not the only interpretation consistent with experiment an

Or general aviation since they use engines derived from ancient automotive designs. Fuel injection isn't common.

Yes, the punchline of the joke is that synthesizing pseudoephedrine from meth is more convenient than buying Sudafed after the law on restricting sales ostensibly to reduce meth production. i.e., the law didn't do much to halt meth pro

Easily the best example of why the stupid federal law limiting access to a useful decongestant backfired.

I wonder if it wouldn't be simpler to just sponsor forests instead. Plants have already mastered solar powered carbon capture and sequestration, of course. There's a lot of other positive externalities to increasing green cover in

It is incredibly irritating that the IRS apis are not publically available. Feels illegal to be honest. You have to set up a company with multiple more hoops to even get docs.

The major problem with logarithms is that there's no verb for "to take the log of" analogous to exponentiate Logarize?

It comes from the first two terms of Newtons's expansion of (1+x)^(1/2) the generalized binomial series. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_series

Haven't they switched to coulomb counting? No need to infer state of charge from voltage alone.

That's incredibly impressive. Medical device approval for anything novel is very hard.

Not off domain registration, clearly. It's a loss-leader and gets you in their product. Significantly cheaper than any of the "low cost" registrars I've seen for `.net` and I already used them for DNS anyway.

DP can only be passively converted to HDMI if the source uses DisplayPort++/Dual Mode, which is not supported by the DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C spec (Why? Who knows). Every usb-c to HDMI adapter has to actively convert the signals

It doesn't happen in Gullstrand-Painleve coordinates which would be a "correct" set of coordinates for a freely falling observer as they enter into a black hole. Or the Lemaitre coordinates work too. Passing the event horizon

Given the ingredients have known semiconducting properties one would think they'd run it through the wringer to expel any doubts as to its superconducting properties. 2DEGs and such at room temp are common, GaN transistors do it and th

This is the rigorous basis for a lot of electrical engineering shortcuts like phasors and active/reactive/real/apparent power analysis. Makes a hell of a lot more sense when it isn't just pulled out of the ether.

The tradeoff for sealed batteries was significantly improved ingress protection, larger charge capacity, and lighter weight. The market spoke and nobody seems to really care that much about user replaceable batteries except a vocal minority
