Sure, stick to the Model T, why not. It had wheels and seats, so there's that.

What’s more, it creates an incentive to accept more papers for publication, with obvious implications for quality.

To be fair, Americans use decimal already where it’s dearest to the heart: money, ammunition, and filling gasoline.

Efficiency is the standard red herring of the battery crowd - if efficiency was the prime motivation, we would all be driving bicycles and SUV or sportscars would not exist. What a…

Main news for me here is that this is (still?) considered newsworthy in Germany. At top US universities, I’ve been threatened with deportation, yelled at, prevented from going to f…

A sonic boom is not necessary when moving faster than sound, the Busemann biplane resolves that completely. There's been considerable work on sonic boom mitigation for many decades…

From personal experience: in Nature Communications the handling editor and editor in chief absolutely do intervene, in my example to suppress a proper lit review that would have re…

That's - not how that works. I suggest you look at any fluid data `riding' that border. "Super compressed" and "ideal gas" are mutually exclusive. "Equilibrium" has even less to do…

That's got nothing to do with some fluid behaving like an ideal gas or not. Also, except for very low pressures, vapor does not behave like an ideal gas.

Too bad they don't reference the actual inventor of vorticity confinement, Dr. John Steinhoff of the University of Tennessee Space Institute: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ste…

> The assertion of the US' founders is that such rights are inherent to all people, natural rights, and inalienable. It very obviously wasn't [1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki…

So are there strange quarks?

He was recently on Tim Ferris and discussed his ideas.

I’m in the same camp. I love that movie but can’t bring myself to show it to my kids yet with that relationship, the rapey behavior of Jones forcing to get his kisses, and the casu…

Exactly! Nothing screams “Democracy!” like repeating a vote a dozen and more times until it shows the desired result!

This makes no sense. Of course sound is a pressure wave - but so is being hit by a nuclear blast wave (after the initial flash). Obviously, the magnitude plays the decisive role he…

> We're not jerks. We're people who notice problems. You're shooting the messenger. The definition is literally in the title: "disagreeable personalities (selfish, combative, and m…

In any case, thanks for putting it out there!

How is not “maintaining the same level of naval readiness “ not a “loss in capability”? I guess the grapes were sour anyway?

Just in time for my family! However, the instructions remain hidden behind the browser address bar on my iPhone SE, so it took me a while to figure out what to do. I thought tappin…

Sure, I guess you can hire someone to represent you posthumously to attend your child’s high school graduation or wedding.

“Surprising” refers to journals , not universities. It’s completely unsurprising (albeit unethical) that universities take the easy way.
