What makes steel awesome is that the properties can be tuned across a wide range. Sure, cheap structural steel has a tensile strength of about 0.4 to 0.5 GPa and the most common types (i.e. cheapest) of "high strength" steel can r

Gonna be blunt here. Almost no one is going to care that the service is from a new small company. Nearly everyone will expect the same level of quality, reliability and service that your competitors (i.e. airbnb) provides. If anything, p

I'll ask the obvious question... how does this service make money?

My understanding is that in those nations, non-shareholders have board representation , not voting control. I.e. they have people on the board to hear what's discussed and give them a voice in deliberations, but no actual control. I

But if the education system provides quality education with parental involvement, doesn't that imply that it provides quality education without parental involvement? You know, since parental involvement is not a part of the education

Why would you risk everything to start a company only to be forced to give up most of it to other people? Why would others invest (i.e. buy stock) in your company only to give up control to non-owners?

I think the revolutionary aspect of a rotation detonation engine is the "rotation" (i.e. continuous) part, not the "detonation" part. IMO, it is pretty novel.

I started programming professionally in the late 1980's (almost a half century ago :-)... and we had IDE's, UI builders, databases, "resource managers", etc. One the UI side, we had to deal with windows, layouts, menus,

That what we're seeing is really reality is the simpler explanation. Because the alternative is that what we see is a simulation ... inside another reality that has full complexity. Which increases the overall complexity. Thus, Oc

Working in the industry, I can confirm that the above numbers are approximately correct except for the employee costs -- those are roughly double and up. You also need to hire a fund administrator, auditors and compliance firms (maybe $50k

Your brain is neither BFS or DFS. Your brain is a biological neural network. It is associative, that is, your brain follows paths of relationships. The brain actually is "like calling a computer a hard drive" in that memory and

"To protect everyone else" is not a non-answer, it's the actual real answer. You may not like it but that doesn't change the fact that that's how vaccines (at a societal level) work.

They are talking about the reliability of AWS vs GCP. As a user of both, I'd categorize predictable startup times under reliability because if it took more than a minute or so, we'd consider it broken. I suspect many others woul

Um, if 70% to 80% of people have "low self-esteem", isn't that just "normal" self-esteem? Please don't take my comment as snark, I'm asking this in all seriousness. When most people possess some psycholog

They think that because that's what happened. The Fed pushed out $4T of QE and inflation barely budged for over a decade (after 2008/2009 recession). It took a global pandemic + a land war in Europe to bring on substantial infla

Tornado Cash is described as a decentralized crypto-mixing service. Given that description, all it did was move money around. Is this a mischaracterization?

They can't "sanction all forks". Sanctions are applied against people and organizations, not technologies. Criminal money laundering is still a crime. It doesn't matter if you use TC or not.

This is like asking, "should I cook for myself or go out to eat?" I don't mean to be that guy, but your initial opening "I know it will depend on the person" says it all. I don't really understand why one tak

Heh, a bit harsher than I would have stated it but I can't help but agree. Of course, 30 years ago, I would have disagreed with you. Probably in a few decades the author of the article will agree with you too! So there's that.

McMurdo is not at all self-reliant. Everything from food to fuel, from clothing to electronics, from tools to entertainment comes from outside. It is the exact opposite of self-reliant, it is completely dependent on the outside world.

It is not possible for any modern technological society to be "perpetually self reliant" with a population of less than a few hundred million people. And that's with access to a planet's worth of resources. Hell, it wa

2% inflation a year over 17 years (2019-2002) is about a 40% overall increase in prices. Having lived through decades where inflation was 5% or 10%, it has indeed been very low for the past couple decades.
