Jack is actually really useful for music production, far superior to pulse audio, so yeah, people do use those programs.

I don't do this, but I do notice that in super markets lots of people do try the fruit before they it. So there are ways of making sure you get good fruit.

If the technology actually works then the companies would burn less fuel, and save money in the process. That should be an effective incentive.

It has a maximum efficiency of around 40%. It is cool but really expensive.

wait, our urine doesn't contain ammonia, we convert nitrogen to urea as it is far less toxic than ammonia.

For anyone who has bought one of their laptops, how does the build quality compare to an old macbook or thinkpad?

Check out the sub synth in zynaddsubfx, its really easy to get started with it and makes a great sound.

This is context you might find interesting, I make less than 40k a year. This is a choice that I have made, and I understand that it has implications for the lifestyle I can afford.

Why are you buying a 5000$ massage chair if you can't comfortably afford to replace it?

Why is this downvoted, this is actually an important part of insurance.

There is a chain of individual steps that need to happen to create the final product of hydrogen fusion, helium. One of the crucial steps is the production of deuterium from two protons. This step is incredibly slow and limits the rest of t

The action of a trajectory is not minimized either, it is usually at a saddle point, maximal relative to some trajectories and minimal to others. The linked paper has a detailed discussion of this. http://www.eftaylor.com/pu

Actually the lagrangian is not minimized, it is merely stationary. An example of this is the harmonic oscillator, the lagrangian is clearly not bounded from below.

Technically there is Rankine if you want to do thermo in imperial units.

I really like this line of questioning as a response to the gp. hopefully I will be able to use this myself.

what are you talking about dude, could you point to something on the arxiv?

The gravity is there, thats what keeps the ISS in orbit. However the gravity acts on everything in the ISS the same, so there is no relative acceleration in the ISS. A cosmonaut who is not touching anything and not moving relative to the wa

My grandparents definitely don't have a multi million dollar home. Not even a million dollar home. That doesn't stop property taxes from really causing them problems. As I said, they are quite poor.

One thing that always bothers me is how it is framed as something for the rich. Yes the rich do benefit, however prop 13 also does a lot of good for old people who live off a fixed income. My grandparents are really poor, in terms of saving

At high frequencies the skin depth of copper decreases and the signal is confined to a small amount of material, which provides a high ohmic resistance to the signal. So for copper there is always a maximum frequency for the signal thus lim

This is one of the (many) things Philip Lubin has looked at. The momentum transfer from photons is far too low. However this can be partially fixed. A laser can vaporize part of the trash and then heat up some of the vaporized material, eff

Listening to Yanis Varoufakis talk about what Greece went through you get the sense that what they have on the Europe wide level isn't exactly democracy.

I have a question that didn't get answered when I talked to people about amplituhedron. Do the higher k (dimension, I'm unsure) Grasmannian calculations have any bearing on a world without super symmetry. Because Nima's tool

When I spoke to an exo collaborator he told me that exo put a really tight limit on the rate of neutrino-less double beta decay. If I was a betting man I would put it in the same category as proton decay, another theoretical physics favorit

Case studies make for bad statistics. I wouldn't want to make the rules for all of society just because it allegedly worked out for one group(?) of people.

No actually. The mass doesn't leave the earth.

This language barrier is partially what motivated the development of the Raven progressive matrices test. The test was used by the UK military to judge recruits without creating a bias based off of the recruits language.
