This is not profound, it is only solipsism. Things exist outside your experience. Things exist outside my experience. The only way to get to the perspective you describe is to discard or devalue the experience of everyone else. If you encou

If your education includes substantial aspects of evolutionary developmental biology and genetics, then you have important mental models with which you can work with an organism. If you discover that the whole organism is effectively develo

Leaded gasoline has remained legal until fairly recently in a surprising number of countries in and around the middle east. It is still used in aviation fuel. The soil contamination from this is probably part of the issue with similar high

An earlier discovery draft paper is freely available, but only guesses at mechanisms: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2201.10385.pdf This is one of those things that seems fairly obvious once pointed out: that the energy in ligh

People not realizing this ship has sailed. Apple switched to supporting right to repair because 1) They are no longer dependent on the loss of battery capacity to drive new device purchases — meaning this issue is effectively over. Batterie

I’m curious why you feel “I’ve driven through there” qualifies you to dismiss the efforts of people working in the open, for very little money, to restore certain classes of ecosystems. “Blind man doesn’t want to pay for printed newspaper.”

Now to see how their development timeframes and synchronization efforts with big hardware companies go. This is where they will enter the real “hard” part of hardware, with an exec team from software. Can they respond to the market while ma

Disappointed they landed on the hero worship bus of “there’s no way a billion dollars at 18 would have stopped Bill Gates.” Yes, it absolutely would have. Inflation-adjusted that would be nearly $10 B in cash. He might not have gone and res

I believe parent is referring to design at the PCBA level, where this is mostly true outside of military/government designers who lag. The reality in that sphere is there is little reason to limit oneself to the constraint of expertis

Do you have an example of a document where it’s special features are more heavily used? Most of the posts I saw were basically just paragraphs and italicized sections.

Where you live you are subject to disinformation and nuclear is the last effort of delay and distraction. You could put up massive solar and wind farms next year. How long would it be until sufficient nuclear capacity came online?
