"We found that when people broke the rules, teams were less likely to win games." This seems like a prima facie bad conclusion to their hockey study, considering that the Panthers …

if this is due to that specific manufacturer having battery fires, i don't hate it as it seems like the battery replacement option is basically the same as a recall. completely dif…

This isn't really accurate, they're targeting industrial wastewater yes but they are working with and have tested brackish water up to several thousand TDS. They had a working EDR …

This is a questionable way to present what's an excellent project and hopefully soon to be commercialized technology. The big deal here is it's a presumably installation ready appl…

i'm down with solar robots, but this is definitely one of those problems that's only a problem because of overly restrictive immigration laws. installing panels is pretty easy, the…

i thought it was making fun of flat earthers? it's pretty amusing they have a good writeup on a very technical piece of very circular math if that is not the case.

This is really cool research, but to say "symplectic geometry, an abstract field of math that is generally far removed from messy real-world details" in the context of orbit planni…

There are several African energy startups named Okapi, I don't think it's an appropriate name for a CRM startup considering competition for visibility. https://www.unhcr.org/us/new…

you can only account for 6hrs of sun per day, so it's more like 30liters per day. that gives you 10m^2 per American. however serving Americans is not a practical use case. i agree …

I took couple years off coding to build a Kenyan infrastructure engineering firm - we're still going although I've started programming again. The biggest thing we've done is 6.7km …

love foraging seaweed and eating it in a bunch of different things. large scale consumption of it is pretty difficult unless you're somewhere that conveniently has both a lot of go…

I implemented the RS encoder that ended up being used on the production satellite bus for the telemetry system in space systems / Loral upgraded bus during my engineering coop in s…

one of the reasons why tech culture has an 18-24 month half life at jobs... it's almost impossible to get a market competitive internal promotion. "not doing performance reviews" a…

Scheduled my call with them in a week! Long overdue, but I wonder if the protein subunit still makes sense in an age where mRNA is an option. Obviously too much sunk cost to change…

i highly highly recommend trying Colmap if you like ODM. it's not suitable for drone footage by itself (it works but why), but it has amazing performance for just handheld video wa…

This is a pretty well debunked ratio for actual actions as it's pretty rare to get that level of multiplier... this goes over it briefly with some WW2 data although it's not as goo…

yeah.... a good friend of mine (dual citizen) who manages a large engineering team there for US startup was picked up randomly not at the protest shortly after they started, thrown…

this is a terrible title. what the article says is, a third of the corn belt has lost all of its topsoil. the rest of it has lost a large percentage of it (some of which may just h…

Did no one else notice the gem in here that BBC failed to mention, that this lizard has one of if not the largest dicks relative to body size of any vertebrate? Due to gender size …

I agree this is ripe for abuse, but I also know enough about the CA water ecosystem to know it's a welcome development from an agriculture capacity planning perspective. There may …

Wow... this much bullshit makes me really glad I never interviewed for them and recently switched to Gemini... Talk about taking corporate censorship to the next level!

I like how this whole yield paper and model is based on the results of a 3'x3' trial area... "With artificial lighting increasing the intensity and duration of light beyond what ca…

it's not cheap even domestically, N95 china retail price is 20RMB right now (not like 3M, domestic brands). Compare to US price ~$6-7 most of that difference is shipping. The price…

my friend probably had the virus (2 inconclusive tests) and tried to get into this study. some group asked her for $125 to get tested. i'm not sure if she saw any of the facebook a…
