I think it does. Whatever our choice of units (provided you use the same choice of units in all calculations), the ratio of mass of the proton to the electron will be the same. This is what makes the constant fundamental: it is independent

I think this article does a decent job of trying to describe the first principles we hope we can use to find why the speed of light in vacuum is what it is, but the reality is we still don't know. Plus, the article format doesn't

The price of the calculator is understandable, given the audience it is targeting. What is mind-boggling for me is that Texas Instruments can still get away with selling a TI-84 for $100 new, no doubt with The College Board's help. The

Could also mean we could need to plant less trees than we thought. At the very least, the models have to be updated to use a number of trees an order of magnitude higher than we previously thought.

If Marco doesn't provide an ad blocker app, someone else is going to do it. If he thinks he's gonna make a statement doing this, that statement is going to fall on deaf ears. Users keep indicating that they want ad blockers, even

At large companies like this there will always be politics you need to play to get ahead. It sucks but that's the way it is. The meritocratic ideal will remain an ideal unless you're in there on the ground floor. There's a lo

The impression I got was, he tried to be manager before being promoted. This gave his managers a convenient scapegoat when he axed his coworkers projects and they needed someone to be angry at. This reminds me a little of The Gervais Princi

I think it would be good if the FC workers unionize. It would greatly increase the speed of development for automation solutions and benefit robotics as a whole.

I don't know, I mean it's fun to watch, but as a spectator sport to fill an olympic stadium? I doubt it.

I was wondering when I would be rich enough to be able to afford such a set-up. Turns out, it's when I write a tech blog popular enough to make affiliate links worthwhile.

I share that curiosity. A band works best when the drummer and the bassist are "locked in". I have to imagine that if a neuroscientist were to image the brains of both the drummer and the bassist in a band with a really good rhyth

From all that's come out over the weekend, it sounds like former Amazon employees are quite welcome over at Facebook. Plus, like Bezos says in his all-hands e-mail, these people are recruited every day. If they are in a situation like

You can try getting a tighter fit and see if that helps. I've noticed with any consumer heart rate monitor, if the fit is not tight and the monitor moves even a little bit, the heart rate the monitor reports will be off. I'm assum

I thought I read somewhere that the heart rate goes up after eating due to the stomach requiring more blood to digest. I also read that foods that cause blood sugar to rise quickly will also cause the heart rate to rise. Does this sound lik

The article doesn't make it seem that it is bad for innovation. If one company can serve regional interests better than another three timezones away, seems like it would be good innovation for me. Besides, once those parking apps start

One thing I've heard is that this would help them in terms of taxes, allowing them to write off projects that don't make money, although I'm not entirely clear on how Alphabet would accomplish this. That would be no joke if t

A space race to Mars is a fun, if monstrously wasteful economically, way for the nations to one-up each other. A space race to build weapons to destroy each other's satellites is not fun, and not good news. I don't see the higher

In my experience, the only long-lasting change video games produce in the mind is the craving to play more video games. They are certainly addictive, but it's doubtful that they help mental health. Sure, people can use them to escape f
