Seems plausible. 1000mi of mostly rural interstate highways (how NJ gets its goods from points west), plus nuclear weapons development, testing, and disposal are popular enough wit…

Be very unlucky. Then the networking happens against your will. The divulging comes in the form of an indictment, or, if you decide your integrity is not for sale and you turn down…

Val Kilmer did the same thing to a coffee vending machine in the movie Real Genius . Instead of using Android, he used a freezer and a small hacksaw to section off coin-sized slugs…

This latest batch of census numbers still hinges on the subset of structures considered to be rental housing or owner-occupied housing. And I believe the census goes by what the pr…

There needs to be a similar moratorium on this red herring of an argument. Buildings off the rental market don’t count as vacant rentals. Failure to understand this normally subtle…

It’s time we passed a moratorium on building articles like this that fail to address the real villain in this affair: vacant properties deliberately kept vacant, because tenants dr…

Dear HN: I finally took the plunge (actually, my water did onto my 2013 MacBook Air, courtesy of a United flight attendant), and the closest modern substitute I could find was a 20…

The term for this situation is ”streetlighting”, where the possible reigns over the correct. “It’s dark in that alley. I’d never find my keys there.” Doesn’t matter if it’s extreme…

The biggest flaw in this study has gone unmentioned: smokers lie. No one’s following these kids around to verify their responses are accurate. A sizable percentage of high school k…

I read it again, twice. That is exactly what they’re doing. Their starting material is CO2-source cement, not some natural “rock”. Counterexamples are substantially more helpful th…

I wish more people realized the concrete thing is snake oil. When you make cement, you heat up natural CaCO3 -> CaO + CO2. The heat itself also requires combustion, so more CO2. So…

Everyone seems to misunderstand photosynthesis. It can’t occur without water, and in fact, the oxygen plants release is from the water, not the CO2. The smart money on useful compo…

Using similar logic, you could argue all countries need to get with the program and speak English. Or use US dollars. Or (yikes) Microsoft Windows. America’s quaint and annoying re…

CIGS, like CdTe, has always been limited by material economics. As demand goes up, the world economy’s limited production of these exotic byproducts can’t keep up. Believe it or do…

Let’s not forget that many thin-film amorphous silicon devices use multiple junctions as well.

Try dichroic if you don’t mean translucent.

My complimentary backpack that I’ve used for several years finally gave up the ghost. It’s also about time to order a mess of custom company-logoed packs. Was curious if anyone has…

The government did modify the spreadsheet, and we alleged as much multiple times. They didn’t even gave us one SQL query like that. All we got was a typo-ridden excel spreadsheet, …

Succinctly isn’t the word I would choose. A 9-page opinion with this number of issues brought is sloppy. Check the sound bytes under exhibit B on the evidence page to hear the auth…

Your first link, while from the case, has little to do with the appeal. To illustrate, that document (#177) happened long before the trial, and now we’re up to #485. The rest of th…

There are no outside, reasonable news sources. If you can make an intro to a journalist on my behalf, that’d help. Otherwise, your advice is like telling a poor person they should …

Check profile. Happy to answer specifics.

Wow, EFF. I knew when you turned me down for an amicus brief, my only hope of staying out of prison, that it was you were too busy doing more important things. Then I see this. Inv…

Don’t be so sure. Even though summer gives you more direct sunlight and longer days, it also knocks down your efficiency (and weather patterns in some areas will be more inclined t…

Suffice it to say, [1] is not what was being referred to (though it’s still a fair point). Let’s talk about the costs of this case. It’s been dragging on for 7+ years now and I’d l…
