You are right, it's just like real estate investment, but using speculative tokens that have no intrinsic value. It's like you take the housing part out of the housing bubble, and are left with the speculative aspect, the bubble.

I wouldn't sell Vermeer's eyesight so short. The human eye has about 500 Mpixels. In a healthy individual, the central yellow spot of maybe 100 Mpixels can be zoomed in with perfect focus on a spot no larger than a few square cm.

Well, the joke is a play on those gender stereotypes, the blonde waitress clearly knows much more then even the optimistic mathematician expects. The butt of the joke here is the university system and the jobs market.

You might have misread that: we don't know any natural process that would generate a single spectral line at that frequency, but it is very easy to generate artificially by a civilization. Hence, the interest. You can build an oscillat

You don't have a relationship with the recruiter or the prospective employer. They haven't "ghosted" you, they are simply uninterested in what you have to sell, just as you "ghosted" the luxury store yesterday

Tldr, they live on expensive hardware that is well marketed and has polished software attractive to consumers.

That's not really accurate since the "electrolyte" changes phase requiring external storage (H2O -> gaseous H2) and the re-oxygenation step cannot be performed (yet) in the same device as the electrolysis. It's not an

I think you missed the "when correctly used" part. Clearly, the person who hit you was not correctly using the system which places the whole responsibility of this situation onto them. When obeying all rules of the road, situation

There is no fundamental physics reason to use lithium, it's just the current best technological node. There are many technologies that are very promising in the lab, like carbon nanotubes, iron and sodium ion, aluminum-air etc. There i

Or, rather: a small enthusiast minority gets two cars, generates the critical mass required to build charging infrastructure etc., then everybody can switch directly to an electric when it becomes convenient for them.

> Hydrogen has an energy density of 120 MJ/kg. Divide that by 15 to get real world densities of compressed hydrogen composite storage tanks, you need a 104 Kg tank to store 7.5 Kg of hydrogen, for a total of 111.5 kg when full.

I think the point made here is that those very requirements are tailored around a ICE world. If, say, your city bus network is designed so that each driver can make a 5 minute stop at terminus and fill up when required, of course pushing an

Nor can you make a hydrogen plane with current (compressed hidrogen) technology, its tanks would be much too bulky and heavy. Unless you are proposing to transform planes into some sort of foam-covered Space Shuttle external tanks storing l

For hydrogen, the mass of the gas itself is negligible compared to the weight of the tank used to store it in compressed form: Therefore, an advanced composite container holding 5.7 kg of CH, would provide a range of 300 miles in a hydr

Aside from blending small amounts on hydrogen in existing methane feeds, no one will do this. Pure hydrogen is a dangerous gas that burns much hotter than methane, can seep trough the tiniest of cracks that methane/propane cannot and c

Sounds like a safety critical bug. Rotating tires and replacing them asymmetrically (for example, after a tire explosion for me) is regular practice. If a small difference in wear disables critical safety systems and engages them in inappro

As it stands, I don't see how hydrogen proponents in either vehicles or energy distribution can recoup the head start of pure electric. The best electrolysis + fuel cell cycles commercially available are maybe 35-40% efficient (electri

I have absolutely no idea why someone would connect the upper bits of the CPU address bus to the lower bits of the memory, if this is what the GP refers to. Their naming scheme seems irrelevant. Almost all modern memory is built in a large

I think that you are too harsh. I don't know their other papers but the fact that they demonstrate such a cheap way to break the airgap has real world implications. You don't have to be an international spy agency with custom hard
