Hrm, what about a thin film supercapacitor that's charged by a piezoelectric component fueled by the regular flexing?

That you know of -- it's possible he was secretly married, and his secret wife was sleeping with the likely first winner of a Nobel prize in mathematics. Unlikely, yes, but the tale is not certainly apocryphal ;)

This is not higher-order thinking (insofar as such exists). The search tree is first-order -- in a sufficiently complex game that the search tree cannot be fully examined, the heuristics necessary to perform at a high level without the nee

We have no evidence that we will ever be able to build sufficiently adaptable systems to engage with unfamiliar environments without constant direct human intervention, which is not possible at light-year (or even light-second) ranges.

And yet, the chestnut is one of the very few commonly eaten botanical nuts (along with the hazelnut and some acorns) -- nearly all other culinary nuts are otherwise (drupes, seeds, legumes, etc).

As the post you're responding to notes, Cecilia is the patron saint of musicians -- the song is about the fleeting nature of inspiration, not a literal description of a interpersonal relationship.

Even if forests are planted, climate change will burn them to the ground regardless. It already is: https://www.politico.com/news/2021/07/27/wildfires-rage-carb...

I doubt that's possible at this point, honestly -- this is our great filter. We had a chance, in the 70s and 80s (when the risk was frankly already fairly well-understood), but perhaps being the evolutionary top dog / intelligenc

It's a shame you're getting downvoted, because you're probably not wrong. Even if the increase in extreme weather events/drought/heat waves is less impactful on non-tropical regions, we're still going to be de

Huh, sounds like you might have been better off if "[your] emergency room doctor [looked it up] on the internet".

Read their comment history -- they're a climate change denier. Some people just want to watch the world burn, I guess.

I would very much recommend tracking down some cubeb (tailed) pepper if you haven't already tried it -- I feel like it's what I wanted long pepper to be. It's got a wonderfully allspice-y note and is particularly great in a

I don't disagree with you in principle, but the TFL menu specifically is kind of... a thing. It's explicitly stylized after an Escoffier-style menu (see e.g. http://ciadigitalcollections.culinary.edu/digital/

Smaller towns here in the northwest that have developed suburbs over the last decade or two are overrun with deer, because coyotes have been displaced. It's a real problem.

It's not the most visually impressive, but seeing King Clone (a ~12kiloyear creosote bush -- none of the original plant still exists, but the ring is a clonal descendent thereof) is a pretty easy side trip from Joshua Tree or on the wa

A 94% male cohort is so wildly disproportionate to the actual population of physicians (60% female) that it beggars belief. There are a number of potential confounding factors that could explain this ("natural" death being dispro

> Bicycles are dangerous... It's an interesting statement, given that every example you gave is about a driver of a car about to kill a cyclist. It seems that it's the cars, or rather, the drivers, that are dangerous.

I would very much recommend reading this essay, where a reporter goes to Miami, looks at property, and talks about this issue with real estate agents: https://popula.com/2019/04/02/heaven-or-high-water/
