wow I hadn't thought of those in a while and I also used to love seeing that history and thinking about where the book had been. Thanks!!

can this sense mice?

You're correct, I'm mistaken that Constantine split the empire. That being said I think there are some semantics as far as "co-emperors with regional responsibilities" being in a s…

Many Western polities have sought the title of the Roman Empire and the legitimacy it endows. Constantine split the empire, and Constantius II did not rule over Rome (or many other…

on the contrary it's important for these people to be unencumbered by the technology of today to imagine the future. Imagine thinking in 1900 about flying, or even going to the moo…

I think it would be prudent to disengage democrats from being 'left wing'. There is certainly a progressive wing of the democratic party, but none of those are the people he donate…

he ain't a left winger. right winger cosplaying

what do you mean short term? We aren't even in the short term yet (has the AI revolution truly begun?) and the owners of compute are already disgustingly rich.

Pixel 8 uses a version of stereo imaging but at the pixel level instead of at the full sensor level. It's not fake at the base level, the physics of it allow for depth information …

depends on what phone you have but LIDAR sensors are used for more than just faceID

This is a very natural progression of technologies that escape industry/defense to get into the consumer's hand.

there are thousands of varieties of a lot of things though...

Are you trying to psyop us into using Lojban?

Not really a fixed relationship between the two. Sometimes the entire blueprint of the PSU is from a different OEM. Corsair did this back in the day for a while where their HX750/H…

yes, but it has been given the blessing by the western governments.

Unfortunately this is using BLS data that captures largely urban areas and fails to account for a large and quickly growing segment of the workforce that also tend to be lower earn…

its purpose isn't to produce photons, neither is the lithium niobate. The purpose is act as a material to mediate the nonlinear interactions between photons to achieve fun things l…

I don't think so- seems like they demonstrated a supercontinuum source, which is a pretty good approximation of "any wavelength" laser. Pretty cool on an integrated chip.

30B images over the course of 6 years by a few million players. In a game that runs daily quests like this and weekly quests can easily be accounted for by a small fraction of user…

30B images isn't that much in the context of Pokemon Go playerbase of ~50 million (conservative estimate based on users today). That's about 600 images per person, in a game that h…

Different target markets. Audiophiles and wealth exhibitionists are much more willing to pay the large amount

More often than not, the building is unnecessary. I'm sure the University s fine having a fancy new building, especially if the upkeep is offset by the American taxpayer.

Well many buildings that are donated have research conducted within them. Not always a lot, but a large building is going to have plenty of uses. Eg stadiums often have medical res…

The federal funds pay for it through the indirect costs funding its maintenance most likely... I suspect that represents a significant portion of the total cost of the building.
