I've read about this topic before and when I saw the link I hoped that there was news, but there isn't. If you count how many neutrons remain, you get a different answer than if you count how many protons are created, the effect

Who told you that? The word "open" is one of the most overused words in American marketing, and has never been an implicit grant of rights to anyone. People were routinely banned from project mailing lists long before codes of c

No one has the data for both sides of the equation. Google dominates search advertising, Amazon dominates online buying. If those companies merged, one company would have all the data needed to use deep learning to take all our money. Th

Long-term, we need to switch from planes to HSR for trips of 400 miles or less, unless someone can come up with a carbon-free alternative to jet fuel. Americans tend to have a warped perspective because our trains are so crappy compared to

I live in Campbell and work in MV. You are right, of course, but the reason is that the light rail route is ridiculously inefficient for that trip. It first goes way northeast, to Milpitas, before heading south. It's so bad that, de

Consider Green Day, a band made up of Californians who sing in a working class British accent. The British bands of the 60s sounded semi-American when singing because they were trying to, and the British Invasion bands were trying to sound

The story was written after the invention of the transistor, but it seems Asimov hadn't heard of them or didn't grasp the implications, and assumed that computers would be based on tubes (or valves, the word used in the story) for

While nuclear power has its problems (particularly for waste disposal), they should slow down the phasing out of nuclear and speed up the phasing out of coal: coal burning is much more of an environmental threat than nuclear power is.

Einstein was building on the work of Lorentz and Poincare, which is why we call some of the basic equations of relativity the Lorentz transformation, not the Einstein transformation. He didn't come up with it ex nihilo (on the other h
