DC charging at 350 and 500kw is getting rather common on highway chargers. Why stop there? Heat management is the key limitation.

This is not the whole story. Even though everyone (both male and female) can identify the most attractive top 5% of the other sex, there is sufficient randomness in the preferences that matches are possible and sufficient (more work for mal

We know that the universe doesn't permit perfect information. You have to pick if you want to know the speed of a particle or its location once you approach the tiniest scales (and various other trade-offs based on the fundamental unce

The goal of the concept of free will is to explain that there is a possibility of an event to be 'caused' by a human (or another life form sufficiently able). Without the concept of free will you would have to assume that the caus

I think that is a requirement for free will, but not sufficient. You also need locality (from within a boundary rather than remote controlled) and difference from randomness. Probably some more.

These clocks fundamentally measure how long certain processes at the quantum level take. We can measure time now so exactely that on the scale of the age of the universe we are less than 1/10th of a second inaccurate. Or as another exa

It absolutely is a gamble if Apple could grow again like it did when it grew from 55-60bn USD in 2018-2020 to a company earning 90-95bn USD in 2021 to 2023. On the other hand few companies could have achieved such growth and it seems better

Nonsense. Like many market failures it is about consumers facing decisions but lack good information to make their purchase decision or need to optimize over too many competing product parameters. For supermarket produce there isn't a

My uncle died after getting into a hypoglycemic coma at night. I think it is a real shame that technology hasn't been able to solve what looks like a medium-complexity feedback loop system.
