No many people realize that jets have been slowing down since the 707/DC-8. And this has been intentional as a trade against fuel efficiency. Both the 707 and DC-8 were nearly transonic by design.

It's about costs: both energy and economic. Those are BOTH non-negotiable facts. I agree: there are NICHES where hydrogen could be right. NICHES!!! Not everything or even most cases.

Environmental estrogenic chemicals are a common factor that could explain both. This includes HRTs that don't get removed in water treatment but also many plasticizers in plastics are estrogenic.

The brain is a "prediction machine" that uses experiences to build the model of the outside world. Play is how you train that model for situations you can't or haven't experienced but are likely very critical. The examp

Depends on how you measure "debt". If you include cities that are essentially bankrupt in CA, it's very high. Most CA cities are unviable financially.

BTW the Federal exception is impossibly narrow to ever meet the first year you are overseas: a date in February starting overseas is required (it's like 10.5 months WITHIN the calendar tax year - e.g. if you move overseas in March of

There's REALLY very little you can do. There's no happy feelings or happy thoughts that can be practical.

This is how I sometimes get my chicken, turkey, duck and geese chicks. The other is from local sources. At one time you could send human children by US Mail as well. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/brief-hist

Yes. Duh! That's part of it. But not entirely for the reasons that Thiel says. You still have to make bits with atoms and like the fallacy of "zero cost" during the Dot Com boom, nothing is actually free - the atoms do matt

If you say "the math says", it's very likely your model of reality isn't complex enough to make it remotely real or possible. This is a common mistake. Abstraction Fallacy or Model Fallacy.

Honestly, I live in the the WORST NY county for Lyme but it really isn't that big a deal. The country across in Vermont is Vermont's top Lyme county. And I live in the woods. Basically it's easily treated once you are fairly

So true. I lived through most of the Vietnam War (live on the 6 o'clock news) and the fall. The lessons have been obvious to anyone who CHOOSES to pay attention. But the lessons aren't ones that politicians drunk with power and

Exactly! Thank you! Having sold high tech products B2B, I can confirm this. Also "out of the box" can work with nerds if that feature allows them to do what they "really want to do" more easily and faster.

The equivalent of: "Someone might call customer support and that would be costly; let's not have customer support at all so avoid that cost altogether!"

Honestly every industry and even every company in every industry has unique lingo and idioms. It's a large part of your first year at a new company: mapping and digesting the differences in language. Most companies I've worked fo

TSMC is 100% B2B (business to business). B2B market dynamics have almost nothing in common with consumer markets. Sales for example is 100% "direct" - you knock on doors and visit to close deals in-person. You can use Zoom et al

One author is an MD, the other is an MBA (!!?!??!) That doesn't smell right. It's also a pre-print without peer review yet.

In theory, sure. But most "real world IoT" devices are appliance-like and seldom designed for the real world nor for non-technical owners. I'd estimate the number of IoT devices with "good and wise security in the desi

You can never design-in security after the fact - it's got to be architectural. That's my primary problem with ALL "IoT" businesses and products - security is very much and absolutely the last thing considered.

They can but it also will reduce their business. The problem is that the "solution to the system equation" might have a complex/imaginary solution as its only solution (i.e. the business is not viable at any product price or

I've been on the Internet since it was still called "Arpanet". There is NO GOOD SOCIAL MEDIA - its nature is primarily negative and bad for society. The reason is that it's inherently addictive by design and it operate
