I seem to remember Tesla opening up a bunch of patents. As a guess, that should be near the top of the list

I've seen some pretty right-wing stuff on WSJ in the last few months.

Hey, don't knock him. I'd never thought about it before. Being taught or corrected is great as long as people aren't dicks about it. Even then it has some value :) I shall use this…

Damn, did we ever get that one wrong.

This is not power. This is aid, planning, money, and ideally to show some semblance of leadership.

Excitedly read title of article. Disappointed upon discovering it's not that type of club, nor that type of swinging.

Unfortunately, the businessman involved is a moron.

1D is a line or vector, I believe. A waveguide for atoms would probably still be considered 1D I guess.

If he didn't make a video that got some degree of internet traction, it's unlikely his problem would have been fixed.

I'm guessing that a few of us would be interested if you could build one. This sounds great.
