That IKEA portable hob is unfortunately one of the bad ones and the coil size is misleading. I haven’t seen any low cost segmented ones like you’ve described on the induction subreddit.

Can you share a link? I’d love to get one. Haven’t found anything like that on the US market.

> Those are either artifacts of a bad stove or using extremely thin pans. We have a fairly low-mid range model and the low mode doesn’t burn anything and the coils match the sizes of the pans we use. It’s a smaller than advertised coil,

Except that on all but the most expensive hobs, "simmer" is on-off and scorches the sauce. And on all but the most expensive hobs, the coil is much smaller than the pan you'd want to use (and many times much smaller than adv

And a lot of what gets reported as ghost guns in the press aren’t 3d printed, they’re commercially-made serialized firearms that have had the serial number obliterated.

In some verticals, like advanced materials or medical devices (outside of consumer/wellness at least), patents are expected.

Due to how turbulent federal funding has been over the past year, many or most PhD programs are being extremely picky about how many candidates they can extend offers to and are also on the eye for signs that applicants may be trying for th

If you use radar a lot, have you tried RadarScope? Nothing else even comes close to comparing.

Interestingly, while on-patent medications in the US tend to be significantly more expensive than elsewhere, generics in the US tend to be less expensive than generics available elsewhere.

The increase in F&A rates is due to the facilities portion, which in the "before times" was negotiated every 4 years with DHHS and had concrete data in the negotiation process to help ensure it was fair. The admin portion for

I read SubiculumCode's post in the same context as bane's, speaking to the current environment. You're saying that a group having to spend all of its time fundraising has always been true in your lifetime and you link it to y

The Clinton era was the golden age for life sciences (can’t speak to others) and it’s been a decline since then, either stagnant or a sharper downturn. Now? Complete operational collapse, a completely different animal altogether, and it’s n

I think there are a couple of misconceptions stated. One, endowments, this is thoroughly covered by others in past threads about funding on this site and in any number of articles elsewhere. University endowments are directed to specific p

It really depends on what you mean by "decades", but I've been in the system for a generation and what you're saying doesn't match what I see on the ground. During the doubling of the NIH budget under Clinton and Bu

Note that it depends on the grant if indirects are included in the award amount or on top; NIH is the latter.

I can't speak to the meso or macro regimes, but for nano (and in my case, colloids) dislocations are certainly a problem.

Re strain, sometimes you want that! It can be used to tune nanoparticles for example.

Was there ever a recall of the ECU, and if not, why did the UA events go away? Were UA events more common at higher elevations, where there would be more cosmic ray activity? This story is like Baba Yaga, it comes out from the shadows to sc

I don't think that copyright would apply because the EV1 design largely serves a functional purpose, and design patent infringement would face an uphill battle for the same reasons. For copyright of a "useful article" the fun

When I was teaching product development I called this the Mechanical Turk strategy. Completely agree that it isn’t automatically fraud, it can also be a cheap prototype that lets you start testing hypotheses ASAP.

Is it possible that the primary liability for OpenAI is trade dress? If you can produce things in (for example) the style of a Studio Ghibli film, such that an ordinary consumer can’t tell if the source is Studio Ghibli or AI, is that actio

The obvious retort would be, if the situation were so favorable for corporations before Bayh-Dole, why were so few licensing deals in place before the passage of Bayh-Dole (fewer than 5% of technologies were licensed)?

All else being equal, it's most straightforward to demonstrate infringement of a composition of matter claim (which tends to be the earliest for pharma) and so these are more valuable. Also, they tend to be the earliest to issue and p

For drugmakers, we treat research and development as an asset that is depreciated over 15 years, which is more or less the lifetime of their patents. This is not a good assumption. It's a super complicated subject, but what

I would argue that primacy in safety was insufficient: Volvo's consumer division was offloaded to Ford, and then Geely. Saab was even more obsessive about safety to the point of being pathologic, to their downfall, looted by GM for th

It's an interesting question for sure! Yes, I'd argue it is incompatible, at least for companies dealing with atoms. At some point, the technology lead erodes, "not bad" becomes good enough, and mature businesses are un
