This isnt exactly new. This is a obvious and predicted effect of ECE Theor. I'm surprised that neither the article nor any other commentor mentioned it yet. tl;dr on ECE Theory: Gr…

Skimmed the patent. Its 99% a pedantic and exhaustive explanation of a linear motor. The only interesting thing they mention, is this: The inertial mass of an object varies with th…

My second favorite Johnny story is how he did the math for the explosive lenses on the atom bomb, overnight. What we now call partial derivatives, was not yet rigourously proven an…

This almost deserves to be nominated for the AI darwin awards. "Volunteer community destroyed and leadership self-exiled because someone at corporate thought thier machine translat…

they can do it, but not poetically. not yet. just "contributing" a few, including "strawberry" for the memories.

You may not have a chance. If you did, it would be: 1. Identify the manufacturer stock number for the battery (part number) 2. Investigate the market for said part (may require pro…

Yep, you get what you pay for. They've started fielding systems that will handle extremes much better, but you dont get that kind of performance without tradeoffs. cascade systems,…

Devil's take: let them die. Having drivers on the road who are not capable of following basic and obvious posted safety rules, is a hazard to everyone. They need to be "not driving…

How to fix automotive repair: 1. The development and use of "rate books" is de facto price fixing. labor is a cost, and it has a price. Ban them by law. 2. Take the computers away …

interesting work here, worth reading through. This is backed up by Dabrowski's work, also. Perhaps "personality formation" itself is also a subconscious skill subject to overexcita…

needs a better title. They've 'united', but nothing has been bought back so far.

For reference and comparison, one of the other mental math systems is the Trachtenberg system. Soroban is much faster, but Trachtenberg is quite reasonable to teach people of any a…

The double entendre of "having studied Agrippa" in the footnotes is probably going to go unnoticed unless someone mentions it here. Contemporary to the cited Camillo Agrippa, fenci…

Finally. HFCS is a nightmare, I hope this is the beginning of the end. Farmers wind up growing trash GMO monocrops for ethanol subsidies and syrup money, depleting the soil and ste…

They've done this multiple times. See "100 Tons of Gold" for more. The Black Eagle Fund is also worth mentioning, the CIA liquidated Imperial Japan's SE Asian war spoils instead of…

well, from just a bit of research, its a wireless induction ammeter. for testing electrical validity of tiny surface mount parts. I imagine its specific to one type of component, s…

honest hard work, depending on the country. if you can cut it as a pipefitter or welder that will make you $100K easy. But its demanding, dangerous, risky work. welding for a livin…

For some further reading on health food starting from the land: The One Straw Revolution Everything I Want To Do is Illegal The biggest reason this wont happen without an equal pol…

Its not a failure to compete, its a refusal to compete. More important to them than profits, is control. The moment they start building out, advancing, and actually competing, they…

For your consideration: the theory of "Positive Disintegration" developed by Kasimir Dabrowski does help to explain the capacity and reality of schizotypal disorders. The easiest w…

The other picture showed Mads with a wooden pipe which he had made years prior This is really why. Any evidence or suspicion of drug use or paraphenalia is a major offense. Even it…

One critical factor that has gone unreported: hazmat material use. for example microwave magnetrons used to use beryllium, now domestic models rarely do. cadmium contact microswitc…

I seriously doubt its possible at all. This isnt a question of an alternate formula, its about computability and number theory. circumference is = π x D. π is an irrational, transc…

V.M. Glushkov. Soviet scientist who basically delineated cybernetics and computer science as a distinct field. He was about 50 years ahead of his time, so a lot of his best ideas w…

I live and work in a non-union state. There are still three or four relevant unions, because the work cannot be kicked down the food chain: Welders have about 20 productive years b…
