To be fair, Schmidt's larger point seemed to be about how bad the US has been doing and he used China as a counter example to illustrate that. If his counter example turns out to be exaggerated that doesn't change the fact that US

Here are the relevant paragraphs: > However, a key drawback of this “power-to-gas-to-power” route, if electrolysis is used for hydrogen production, is the round-trip efficiency, which is “around 45%,” it says. The report provides an exam

Your last point resonates with me. I had neither previously considered where the big bang might have taken place, nor that this would somehow be an erroneous concept. I scrolled through a bunch of disjointed answers on Quora that left me mo

The Deng quote is slightly different: "If you open the window for fresh air, you have to expect some flies to blow in." ("打开窗户，新鲜空气会进来，苍蝇也会飞进来。") What you describe is true though, especially since 89 (TAM, collapse of so

This looks really cool. Will they have a mode to emulate an amber screen? I ask because I got to know turrican and other games like Port of Call, Rick Dangerous and Wings on my friend's Amiga 500 for which he only had an amber screen..

Right! Freespace 2 was great and is still being worked on by a dedicated community. Here's a reddit thread with a review and more info on it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/9h30rn/why_you_sh

Replying to myself here. it is indeed possible. On the website, go to "My account -> my books" (for me that's https://www.kobo.com/de/en/library ) where you see all the covers of your books. Direc

Seconded. Good UI, quick fixes whenever Google tweaks some things in the background. Also, the ability for background playback is key to listen to music. and the speed and pitch control sliders area lot of fun when listing to speeches (eg M

Are you sure? They do obscure the direct download links on the German kobo site (kobobooks.de), apparently preferring people to use their e-readers sync functionality. But last i checked I was able to download the kepub files after some bro

For me it's the weird new way of handling custom search engines that annoys me. Old workflow: tap the address bar, start typing your search term and then either press return to search with default search engine, or 2) tap one of the cu

This paragraph refers to the simpler-to-design gun type (eg Fat Man). According to WP the three PhD guys designed a much more complicated implosion-type bomb within only 3 years with public information and only basic tools.

That's really neat. What are some practical applications for Seam Carving? Maybe in video games with dynamic resizing of landscapes?

That's of course true. Which is another reason why I think that eg voting computers are an inherently bad idea (independently of who manufactures them). But my main point was that this sort of capability embedded in routers can only be

Disruptions would be there for sure. But I think building up that kind of capability is necessarily single-use only, and only makes sense if your goal is to use it as a direct prelude to an invasion of a country. Because people will relativ

That doesn't sound useful or very sophisticated from a spying POV. I guess mass-shutdown of Telco infrastructure would be catastrophic but that could most likely be avoided by having a mix of suppliers and a minimum of known-good hardw
