My first guess is that the change on the electronic band allows downstream electrical switching of a prism/mirror or other photonic device. So you have a special light signal controlling an electric signal to switch the “regular” light

This is a common misconception. It's something that was discussed orally and taken out of its context and is being repeated today [1]. Besides the fact that NATO is a voluntary alliance and not an empire. At one point Russia was eve

Historically, Pantone & Munsell in the US of A. Pantone is really print-oriented, even if they've surfed on the brand to expand to fashion & cosmetics. That's why the standard Pantone PMS colors don't have whites. Mun

RAL is a lot, lot cheaper than Munsell or Pantone (now both owned by X-Rite) and is particularly well suited for Industrial Design. - you can get yourself a fan of RAL Classic colors for $16, which are solid colors that include enough g

I am not sure this is the correct take, they happened to have assumed the debt prior. But the building was sold independently for this price at a public auction. They had to do this to find the fair value of the building to deduct it from t

What difference does it make? It cost them more than $6.56M in the end but to deduct the building at a fair price they had to auction it and nobody bid higher than that.

The idea is that it could help lower inflation as shelter is a large portion of core CPI. It’s not about lowering the prime rate, but having a lower rate for creation of supply, which would exclude all services (80% of the economy).

Does anyone have a good explanation of why the Federal Reserve isn’t able to have lower interest rates for supply creation activities? It appears that would be a useful tool that would work in favor of their inflation and employment mandate

I am a Software Engineer like you. I got started in making physical products in 2017 first with 3d printing, and today I do design for manufacturing. This might surprise some here, but if you can do 100% of the design and get good at it, it

The feasibility is not a function of the time or number of people. When you remove material, the slightest error is irreversible. By combining error rate, design tolerance bounds and work point size in a statistical model, you should be abl

The rough shaping is not at issue. The challenge is maintaining tolerances along all axis and constraints on your detail work while using high forces and pressures to work the hard material. Grinding is a good guess for the possible materia
