Also from the American tradition I wish my baby was born. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sFpU3zslpHw

Safe here doesn't mean "can't kill you". Instead it means this chemistry doesn't exhibit thermal runaway ( http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/lithium_ion_safet... )

General purpose digital computation is often power limited (either from the supply energy or thermals of the device) and there is an (academic) resurgence of analog computation on …

Look at load line impedances. The effective output impedance of a transmission line depends on the fraction of wavelengths of waveguide transmit the wave. At any half wavelength, t…

This is done but mostly for peripheral IO (like DACs/ADCs, disk, video or audio codecs and even between non-shared memory for processors) but can (and has) been used in the main me…

It depends on what you mean by fully formed. For example the idea of vectors and quaternions, which seem so natural, is quite new (~250 years old) [1] When maxwell derived and unif…

inner layers can be repaired but it is even more labor intensive http://www.circuitrework.com/guides/4-2-6.shtml things can get even crazier: http://www.circuitrework.com/guides/6-…

MIT "hack" comes from the pranks and unauthorized adventuring that many undergraduates came to enjoy on campus. (eg. http://hacks.mit.edu/Hacks/misc/best_of.html ) Hack was then us…

Additionally AC transmission is inefficient compared to DC transmission; the skin effect[1] really kills you [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect

With respect to CPUs this is not entirely true. Processors with different clock frequencies roll off of the same assembly line but small variations in manufacturing change the qual…
