Hmmm, good question. Looks like for the nitro can they're using a nitro widget, like canned Guinness uses. They're pretty controversial - were discussed to death when they first came out. I guess, hypothetically, when the can is o

Thanks, that makes sense to me. I don't know a ton about mining history, but it seems that mining has always depended on cost efficiency. ("Duh?") eg, Froth floatation mining is the only reason that a ton of gold mines in the

Sure you can - many of us have phones in our pockets right now which are doing just that over LTE. With an imaginary phone running with an imaginary v4 extended address, you'd still need something in the network at the carrier side to

I think anyone who thinks DJB's proposal was a realistic easy option needs to look at the history of the class E address space (240.0.0.0/4), and the proposals to allocate it for normal use. Despite not changing the address length

Have a source for that? Or even an example of a fruit where it's the case? It certainly isn't true for apples - heirloom varieties often have higher sugar content than modern apples. Modern apples taste sweeter than many heirloom

I can really relate with your read on the treatment of type 1 diabetes. My father was involved in some of the early long-term diabetes control trials which began at the University of Washington in the '80s. One group was randomly selec

Got a source for that? As I understand it, aluminum wound transformers are more reliable than copper under surge conditions because aluminum has a much higher specific heat than copper - providing more of a thermal buffer prior to damage. M

A post-mortem from a base jumper? Those can't be common... As someone who participates in a reasonably-dangerous / reasonably-uncommon hobby, that discussion really resonates with me. So much in there to contemplate. Thank you!

Glowforge marketed their laser cutter as a 3D laser printer, didn't they? As someone waiting for their Glowforge to ship, I really hope their device wasn't involved in all this.

If you define a foam as "a substance that is formed by trapping pockets of gas in a liquid or solid", a roti is absolutely a foam. Or, a foam subunit. (When you make roti, it usually expands like a balloon during the cooking proce

Both of those examples strike me as very contrived. I can't think of anyone who cares that much about timekeeping who isn't running their own internal NTP infrastructure. Google's Spanner requires accurate global time, so the

Source for that battery pricing? Seems WAY optimistic. Given the weight + hazardous materials in an AGM, I can't see shipping hitting $15/unit unless you're talking about a container full.
