This is exciting news but the term power here should really be replaced with electricity which is clarified early on in the article. Electricity only accounts for roughly 20-25% of all power / energy used and the vast majority of the r

Other advanced tactics involve giving a broad clue that matches 3-4 of your own and just one other (either your opponents or a civilian). Your team can pick up all the matches across several turns and the one off doesn't hurt as much a

"will have" infers a future present though. 40% will have at some point in their life is substantively different than 50% having at a single moment in time

$5.2 million/year * 10,000 = $52 Billion / year if I'm understanding you correctly. That seems on the high side to me?

There's just barely enough time on the middle and last levels to double back even with the faster clock movement for going the wrong direction. Fun little challenge

I'm not sure the author is unaware of that. The last paragraph explicitly calls this out. >> Secondly, the rate of homicides in the US has been going up quite a bit for the past two years. This is supposedly a localized effect of

We do know though that the curve for number of infections is a logistic curve. And since we haven't hit the inflection point yet we know at a minimum (regardless of how many hidden/untested cases exist) we'll have twice the n

Clearcut is something that is easily / sharply defined. If you only know something when you see it then that thing is by its very nature not easily defined / loosely defined. These are opposite things. https://en.wikipe
