Two things: 1. Half of those drugs on the list do have medicinal uses. Even methamphetamine and cocaine are used medicinally (admittedly rarely). 2. Tylenol poisoning is the leading reason for poison control center calls. >80,000 U.S. Po

Maybe some code is so important and heavily trafficked it becomes a public works project, and various legs can bid for pieces of the project, line how all infrastructure works.

Eh, I doubt it, GPS signal is so weak, once the EM field in the air has so much power, I think the literal hardware ADC of any receiver would be overwhelmed/clipped with a high power jammer nearby. I mean it's possible that the fr

Only if it's used to obscure the meaning of a message. You can encrypt passcodes and remote control commands for sattelites and other radio control codes for various craft or devices. You can also still use message authentication codes

I think their point might be that matter is what defines the location of the force field. I.e. it's the EM field doing the actual work.

Lithium Titanate batteries can do this now, somewhat. I have some 35 Ah batteries that claim they can charge in 9 minutes (compared to traditional Lithium Ion, that would take hours). I don't have a charger that can supply the necessar

I haven't even been convinced it's fundamentally different from biological intelligence. But it's clearly still missing a few ingredients. But we are really close.

It's a multivariate system, the dragforce is determined by the car geometry + book , hand , whatever. They are both causes to speed. In fact you don't even need flow to infer speed. You can just use pressure calculations and

That's just it though. Yes, separating symbols/descriptions from the physics is a common conflation, rightfully avoided and called out here, but I think you might be overcorrecting unconflating the concepts too much. Quantum infor

You nerd sniped with this one. I looked it up, and apparently utility companies already use the lines for comms, so you would be stomping on those potentially (depending on frequency). As for radiating... Possibly... But the tuning seems ri

I just string the antenna across my attic. Coupling into my power upstairs is a bit of a problem sometimes though. Pirating power is something I've heard that happens, but I looked it up, and couldn't find an actual cited example

We don't know that electrons don't decay for sure. If we live in a false vacuum, for example, that could allow them to decay.

There is a very small slice that amateur radio gets in this band, in theory it would be nice to have a bigger slice, but honestly, building antennas for this band to transmit anything worthwhile would be pretty hard. My 7 Mhz antenna (HF, 4

You can hit limits with $100 if you use it all day. You can do it easily if you use in fast mode. I bet you could hit the limits of the $200/month using fast mode if you were using multiple sessions at the same time all day on fast mod

I found this article pretty confusing. And my comment ended up being pretty long, so I will TL;DR it: 1. The social critique doesn’t match my experience and seems under-supported? 2. The technical critique is interesting, looks like a mix o
