Oh, the wailing and gnashing of teeth over wake losses. Let's get some figures: * From their own study: the cumulative wake loss impact of four new wind farms in the Irish Sea on Orsted's existing estate is 3.28% [0] * "Wind

The 50GHz or 20ps figure is actually the limit of the gear the scientists had available - from the paper at https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1361-6463/ad9284/... "the signal state transiti

I got the impression that "faster" refers to potential bandwidth, as the device responds to shorter wavelengths (300nm to 1.6nm) than other photodetectors. Shorter wavelengths means higher frequencies, "number go up" = m

That format is really nice! I regret to say it but I found what looks like a typo - you've got "automcomplete" where I think you mean "autocomplete". I hope this helps improve your resume.

Addressed directly in TFA: "Drawing out the interview process is a thinly veiled attempt to launder this bias with a "neutral" process that they will likely disregard/overrule if it contradicts their personal preference.

Fortunately the accelerometer is a very low-power service. There shouldn't be much magic required, simply a threshold for accelerometer activation similar to drop detection. This sort of protection can false-positive fairly safely - it

Your description almost exactly matches the Maverick solar array produced by the Aussie company 5b ( https://5b.co/ ) - you are definitely on to something. Factory assembly and field deployment is a far faster, safer, and hig

Electric motors do get warm during operation, it is no surprise that some form of cooling fluid is desirable as the weight/power horizons are explored across the EV fleet. This article doesn't touch on battery pack cooling, which

There's an important difference between prediction and detection . If you're in a nontrivial earthquake, detection isn't helpful: You already know it's happening. The challenge is prediction. There are a couple of sta

So many people missing the point of 1:1s. They help to build a trust relationship between two people so that when there is something difficult to discuss, that conversation can happen. It is perfectly ok for most 1:1s to be fairly empty,

Best comment award! The point of doing these toy simulations, easily done on classical computers, is to understand the quantum circuits that calculate molecular behavior so that when those circuits are generated for nontrivial molecules the

I believe the article makes a fundamental mistake with its inferred description of democracy. In a healthy democratic system there is not just one single central authority to which all democracy has to be driven. A healthy democracy has man

There has been a UK Code of Practice since 2019, PAS 1881:2020 and PAS 1883:2020. Companies like Oxbotica are already assessed under these standards. See https://www.oxbotica.com/insight/oxbotica-achieves-safety-la...

"Burn it all and filter" is basically pyrolysis - use high temperatures to break chemical bonds and turn complex substances into much simpler substances which can then be reused. Problem is the energy input required for those high

Grinding the blades to use as filler is indeed one of the downcycling routes currently in use for old blades. It is energy intensive and there is limited demand for the filler because it has to compete with other very low cost materials, so

That source would be from the bp statistical review of world energy, a widely quoted and surprisingly impartial collection of energy statistics. Charts and stats from that annual publication turn up all over the place. Disappointly, they&#x

OMG look at the Y axis scale of the graphs. Everyone else is 0-1000+ (often 0-2000), Magnus Carlsen's graph scale is 0-200.

I'm surprised spamgourmet.com has not been mentioned - created-on-use forwarding addresses with a built-in self destruct. It is a superb solution.
