It's funny how you can take a multi-billion dollar idea, write it all out for the world to see, and it still gets ignored or ridiculed by everyone. It's also funny how you can take two of the greatest minds in our generation and d

I don't mind infinity in mathematics, it seems quite useful. I just don't think infinity exists in the real world. To quote David Hilbert, "The infinite is nowhere to be found in reality. It neither exists in nature nor pro

I stopped believing in infinity. In the real, physical world. That makes much more sense to me and fits in much better with my understanding of the universe.

Same as "mils" for thousands of an inch. It's actually wildly popular in the US.

Reminds me of the deep-water drone video where a beautiful unknown species drifts into view and then is unceremoniously ripped to shreds by the drone's propulsion system.

Might have something to do with the "need for speed". Running further than your glycogen alone can take you - increases your survival odds.

There is a Nobel Prize waiting for whoever figures this out. I am glad scientists are finally taking it seriously. Statistically, something is most definitely out of whack.

Perhaps it is time to compile a list of the most useful human and animal body modifications, so that we have some goals?

My suspicion is that Ethereum got so popular because there were so many ways to make money from it. Basically a cash cow for developers and miners. Does anyone know where the money making opportunities will shift to with POS? Block builde

There are Billions of dollars in cash just sitting around at companies like Blackstone Group waiting for the housing market to crash - which of course it will. https://twitter.com/zerohedge/status/15620806786526412

I didn't think you could use lead for anything but military stuff? We have RoHS requirements everywhere. The gold is so thin I would think you could see a nickel problem, but IDK. Most of our problems come from lead-free solder, it is

I understand your first three paragraphs just fine. That makes perfect sense. The fed can easily crash housing prices. I can also see how they can crash any large purchases financed by credit: cars, machinery, etc. I can see how they can

The design looks fine and professional. Some hopefully helpful comments: One trace is too close to board edge. Try not to run traces between 0.1" header holes if you don't have to. The vias might be a bit small for a simple boar

Someday you will start with a sheet of copper with green soldermask. A laser will cut out the traces then take off just the masking where the component leads need to be soldered. They can pretty much do that now. But nobody has a nice sol

We do zero prototyping like this anymore. Actually, we almost never carved copper plates anyway, we would just get perf boards with plated holes and wire everything together. Everything gets a pc board made now. If you can't buy a dev

I'm wondering if you shouldn't have different rules for hardware than for software? For instance, what if somebody told him Apple had patented indented buttons and he couldn't use them? I see lots of good improvement ideas
