BTW, a highly disturbed sleep like he is describing is a common sign of burnout/depression/anxiety disorder. Do not ignore it! There are drugs and therapy, it is worth it. It is do…

Is this neural-network generated? The bio makes me think that it is, in fact, written by a machine: > Perhaps you'll think my comments are unthinkable. My only response to that is …

Where is that market meltdown? The FTSE 100 is down a whopping 1% today, and down 3% over the last 5 days. Looks absolutely normal to me.

Oh I'm sure it's cleared enough around the various pipes and cables that lie on the bottom. But it's still a far cry from the entire bottom of the sea being safe.

The Baltic Sea is very very shallow, with average depth of just 55 meters. It's not particularly difficult to do, sadly :( "Fun" fact, mostly unrelated: the Baltic sea floor is ful…

Imagine if it was arabic (to keep the LNG prices up, which everyone in Europe is now buying from the middle east like crazy). That would surely stir some things up.

It was in "maintenance", as claimed by the Russian end operators. Germany has successfully pressured Canada to send a replacement turbine to Russia (violating sanctions), after whi…

What does a sound card actually do, besides ADC and DAC?

And the future of the planned 6-th generation unmanned combat aircraft ...

Fair point. I guess the difference is the lack of strategic alliances throughout the history with anyone in the area. There were tactical alliances, even with Iran somewhat recentl…

The most fascinating fact about the state of Israel is that it is in an on-again-off-again state of war for something like the last 4000 years. I cannot fathom how is it possible f…

Meh. Energy cost has been plummeting ever since the steam engine came about. I cannot stress this enough, it has plummeted several orders of magnitude (versus for example gold). I …

There has been a lot of progress in cameras for smartphones, for very good reasons. And I mean a lot, see the physical design of a modern smartphone lens for example. I would guess…

> Luckily, the Dotbot clearly identifies itself in the User-Agent header, and they have a working support email, so after a five month communication in a ticket I discovered the re…

Defeatist attitude is completely expected if you're burned out/depressed. My suggestion is to treat the latter (lots of good advice in the thread) to get rid of the former, not the…

Find a US based ETF with the asset and use the SEC :) (Matt Levine wrote many times about how securities laws can become somewhat global somewhat arbitrarily)

With the successes of F-22/F-35, PAC/Patriot and HIMARS/M270 (each is an obvious top of the shelf product in its category) - is Lockheed now going after Boeing's professional fligh…

I am trying to learn about radio (and the electric and magnetic fields in general), and I'm following the Great Scott Gadgets' "Software Defined Radio with HackRF" video series. I'…

I wonder if this could have a military purpose as well, as in whether this could be used in a combat area. Any of the other types of electrical power generation systems are very "c…

Yeah, but that's the minority on a global scale.
