Can you give an example of an LED bulb installation with 50%+ luminous efficacy? Perhaps you are thinking of the raw lumens/watt coming out of lab-grade LED material without consid…

The GPL variants, for example, require you to allow others to plagiarize your work.

Automotive night vision is expensive and unusual.

Summary: The FAA's B4UFLY app only tells you whether you can _fly_ a drone somewhere. It doesn't tell you whether you can _take off, operate, and land_ from there because that is u…

May I suggest more than one magnet per train to differentiate them. Simplest way: number of magnets corresponds to train ID. Small space between magnets (calculated from Hall senso…

GP's point is that we give humans the benefit of the doubt. You have reinforced that notion. >> the degree to which something can experience suffering is proportionate to the sophi…

>> a dead attorney is the only real "good attorney." You believe there should be no attorneys?

Please describe how it is possible to pick such a number. For example, I can readily imagine how to pick a random 32b float, but that it is an entirely problem with a nonzero proba…

Suppose that patents had prevented 90% of useful inventions and overall progress over the last century. That is, imagine that for every 10 inventions you can list from the 1900s, 9…

I don't comprehend the thinking behind not listening to voicemails. Why have a voicemail box, then? You're just making anybody who does leave a voicemail think you're ignoring them…
