I checked out the Toyota Mirai - it does indeed use hydrogen gas cylinders from what I can tell. So this research is targeting simply the ability to transport hydrogen. Ironically, the ships that carry all that ammonia to Asia almost certai

I've encountered this viewpoint before and it took me a while understand the nuance of the assertion - as it is so matter of fact it is easy to take "not a science" as a value judgement - especially as we often enshrine empir

I disagree with your sentiment enough that I want to downvote you (but won't as that's not what downvotes are for). STEM workers are absolutely underpaid in the EU for their level of qualification - a non-CS PhD grad is "luck

Caffeine == Caffeine But if a Coke is ~3mg caffeine 100ml and coffee is ~40mg per 100ml, drinking 13.3 "units" of cokes will not be equivalent to 1 "unit" of coffee. 1. Timing of the intake will affect the efficacy (x mg

This. The levels of expenses paid for senior people in big organizations is insane. A friend recently rented out an apartment in central London to people working for a nonprofit org at £10k per month and this is only scratching the surface

Javascript has mutable datatypes and weak typing by default - that makes it easier to write buggy code than making it harder to do so. To write nice JS, you have to be disciplined and very cognizant of what you're doing. And then you h

Your point on stabilising muscles is on point. This is why pistol squats are worth more than just a body weight * x two-legged squat. This is why yoga is valuable for more than just flexibility. Isolation of a muscle is all great and can ma

I think your assertions may be correct and you'd still be off in that the some large fraction of the money facebook takes from big companies came from advertising avenues subject to exactly the same risk of being ignored. Think billboa

You're right - I fully agree with you, but I actually think that's kind of an entirely separate issue. If it took your team an 18 month death march sprint just to get to the "red button" stage, I have a hard time imagini

Are you still programming everything in ones and zeros in a tape to be run by a Turing machine? If not, you're using tools to get your job done. It turns out that most tools allow you to get your job done quicker so you have more time
