Still just as, if not more lethal due to high frequency AC

AvE might work in engineering, but I don't think he's a structural PE.

The Signal Path - https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSignalPathBlog A mix of relatively advanced and relatively simple videos, no rambling all content with great demos. If you have a test gear fetish this is your channel.

Many of my facebook friends (n~400, ~19 years old) are in a 'relationship' with their friends as a joke. Enough to skew any results.

Because humans hear frequency in log scale, pink noise has more "even" distribution of amplitude to our ears. Pink noise -> 100-200hz has the same power as 10k-20k ie each octave has equal power AFAIK.

This is a valid concern - due to not only differing grounds but also the transients/hf noise created from ten- and hundred-KW lighting dimmer systems, audio and lighting power must be kept seperate

Because some of these venues also run lighting rigs in the order of magnitude of 100KW and probably don't have the space/money/expertise to install a UPS with that power capacity.

While I agree that a patent may not be justifiable, the method of toxicity doesn't appear to be a biological contaminant, rather the material itself (or an impurity thereof). So it's different from the usual processes to sanitise

Agreed: with several years and tens of millions in investments, if it was possible, they would have some kind of demo.

Trouble is, it doesn't prove anything, or even come close to proving anything. The "uBeam FAQ" document, which is referenced multiple times to show the "cynicism" of the doubters, raises many issues which are not di

Being an FPGA (essentially a blank canvas where you can design a logic cirguit), it's not really comparable to a general-purpose CPU. However in specialised applications, it can be much much faster. see: bitcoin mining and other crypto

Very unlikely. The attack on Malaysia Airlines was a hijacking of the DNS, not an actual hack on the website. Plus with the reosurces fb dedicates to security, they have a much better chance of finding 0days than some terrorists.
