This sounds really good! If the largest population and probably the largest manufacturer in the world goes green, that is going to be really good for climate change. I hope India follows suit.

As another comment mentioned, this website does look like Time Cube at first sight. However, the explanations of the second law of thermodynamics on the second page are quite decent and written in a humorous way. Of course it is not fully a

I am surprised I have not seen LabView mentioned in this thread. It is arguably one of the most popular visual programming languages after Excel and I absolutely hate it. It has all the downsides of visual programming that the author mentio

I didn't know there is such a thing as a metallurgical microscope. What makes them different from biological microscopes? And what is there primary purpose? I am assuming they don't make microscopes just for dissecting chips.

If we define a computer in very broad terms: a system used to emulate/simulate another system, could we call a wind tunnel a computer? It is a system that is used to infer what would happen high up in the atmosphere or on the race trac

This is so cool! "Dissecting" a processor like this could be a fun educational activity to do in schools similar to dissecting a frog, but without the animal rights issues.

I enjoy reading posts like this. Very thorough description. I am wondering if someone has insights into how the publishing model for more traditional publishers like Wiley and Elsevier work. Those guys are selling books for more than $200.

This article does a great job at explaining interval arithmetic. However, the introduction says >Instead of treating each as exactly 7 feet, we can instead say that each is somewhere between a minimum of 6.9 feet and a maximum of 7.1. We

I wonder if open source software can play a role in this. Maybe we can have an open source algorithm for determining credit ratings and private companies only provide a secure database of ratings. It will also offer the lay person insights

Why is the debt ceiling defined as an absolute number? Wouldn't it make more sense to define it as a percent of the GDP or tax revenue

In my opinion, the way Subnautica motivates is players to play is through a natural sense of exploration - it wants you to think, "This is such a cool planet, I want to explore it" and not "What is the most efficient way of m

[Spoiler Alert] Subnautica is amazing! I remember the first time I discovered the huge turtle whales - it was such a surreal feeling. The world design of the game does such a good job of offering a guided exploration that feels completely n

We strongly need a "prestigious" journal devoted to publishing reproductions of other studies. Moreover, we need to change our perception of a good scientist. Doing novel research is awesome and great but reproducing other people&

I used to experience this had a kid! Not only did words and some names have shapes, but they were quite often coloured shapes. I have quite strong memories of some of the associations I made between names and shapes. However, I have complet

Hahaha, that is so true and so annoying. I am perpetually scared of sending the wrong thing in the wrong group. It gets even worse if the groups have similar names. If only there was a way to filter on excluded members...

Many cars like the cybertruck are limited by the production capacity of the company. If you order one now, you’ll probably get it in a few months or even a few years. A used cybertruck is available right now, so people are willing to pay mo

I completely agree. I do not believe that AI is a disruptive technology like computers and the internet was. It will at best be a + 25 % efficiency for business processes - which is awesome and I am all for it. But it is not a game changer

I was doing some reading about the Mustang aircraft in WW2 and found about that they had V12 engines with 1000 to 2000 horsepower. But modern aerobatic aircraft only have around 300 to 500 horsepower. I was wondering if it would be possible
