   It's not really clear, the German part was going slower than the tunnel, but now that the tunnel is also delayed by at least 2 years, who knows maybe they are in sync again ;). The road link seems to be going much faster than the rail

   I think they mean the algae is in sunlight during the day and growing, producing light only at night.

   Germany just enacted a law that makes landlords pay part of the heating bill to change the incentives for upgrading the equipment.

   NIMBYs are the reason why large parts of the mentioned new 700 km Südlink connection are being built as below ground cables, adding enomous costs.

   I very much doubt that humanoid robots will be cleaning airplane cabins any time soon...

   Also trust in PCR cyclers ist often low... PCR is often not straight forward, chemicals can go bad, primers don't work reliably, input DNA has inhibitors, etc. So people are quick to blame the thermocycler if things don't work for

   Yeah, tell the thousands of PhD students who question their life choices over non-working PCRs every year that it's "optimal". ;)

    In normal biology labs real-time PCR is used much less than normal PCR, I'd guess 5% of PCRs across labs are run in real-time machines.

    Here is a nice video with slow motion footage of the bees in flight, and an interview with the researcher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jje1LPrsHbc

    The aquarium is great, but when I was there I found the penguin exhibit a bit sad: it's completely indoors, the penguins will never see the sun or sky...

    Tphakala recently also published a cli tool to process recordings, it can also use other models such as Google perch. https://github.com/tphakala/birda

    My travel health insurance lately warns of Egyptian hospitals and doctors trying to charge absurd amounts for simple procedures for tourists, and pressuring them to pay, arguing they can get it back from their insurance. Similar story.

    I don't think authors are very price sensitive. If they can get their paper into a good journal they will pay the charges, as long as they are not absurdly high. After all, it's not their personal money, often the employer also pa

    I wonder if they are profitable, or if some sort of government support is involved. I don't think power for all those lights is particularly cheap in Singapore, and the competition in the surrounding countries has cheap labor and lots

    This could be positive. So far things were gamed and manipulated to some extent, with some fake content, but it was never too obvious, and a bit of a cat and mouse game with filters and whatnot. Now, it's so easy to fake content that r

    Balancing gets easier when the center of mass is high. Compare balancing a pencil on your hand vs a broomstick.

    Yes, the question is how exactly you grab a "rough amount"? If you need 4 parts in each bag, is it really much easier to construct a system that can dispense 4-6 parts, than one that can dispense exactly 4?

    But that's what the article says? The (correct) criticism of that system is that the publishers just replaced the subscription fees with article processing charges for OA publication, and still profit from public funding the same as be

    Sure, but how do the parts get into the bag?

    How does this work without dispensing onto the scale one by one? Just shaking them out of a hopper?

    They just announced a while ago that they performed their 100 millionth battery swap, and just now "Nio's 3,750 battery swap stations delivered 2,073,500 battery swap services between February 10-23" (Chinese new year). Seems

    There are probably billions of e-ink price tags in supermarkets around the world, but I guess scaling it up is not easy?

    So this can only do the full 1000 W power? Kind of a one trick pony, no way to melt butter or a dozen other things that need lower power. For a restaurant that only needs to heat a few different items at high speed it's probably fine.

    I think the advantage is that hot water loses heat over time, depending on how good the insulation is. However with phase change materials, the heat is trappped in the phase change and is stable until you release it.

    I like graphs that compare various models, that gives you information on the confidence of the prediction, depending on how well they agree. For example https://www.wetterdienst.de/Deutschlandwetter/Berlin/Vorhers.
