What an asinine no-information comment. If you think you have have something of substance to say on the topic, say that.

Etymologically I would say it fits. "Smith" means a metalworker, note the relation to smite, which one does a lot in blacksmithing, and "black" refers to the black oxide forge scale the results from repeated heating of t

Note that's not the actual top speed in use: "With that much power behind the 22″ wheel, the electric unicycle achieves a wheel lift speed of 140 km/h (87 mph). The wheel lift speed is the unloaded top speed of the unicycle’s

It’s so wrong to pretend that sellers don’t have a say in how much they ask for their goods that it borders on disingenuous. To blame the market (as if that existed apart from buyers and sellers) is to ascribe agency to something which is w

I find ground beef smells worse than any of the plant-based alternatives, personally. Give me the impossible or beyond burgers any day over a real burger if we're judging by smell or mouth-feel. In taste, I'd say they're equa

So you think the problem of high-tech spambots is that there aren't enough people using them? Is your goal to make forums and such unusable as fast as possible?

I'd say it's more like showing up at an all-you-can-eat buffet and eating with a fork. It's not anything that one should be charged extra for. If the bandwidth is the issue, they can charge realistic prices for bandwidth.

You lost a zero in there, so more like 146km.

You’re seemingly unaware that petrochemicals can be synthesized with energy and simple organic feedstocks. The chemistry is pretty well established to bootstrap up from water and CO2 to complex hydrocarbons and from there of course the same

Among the aristocracy, sure. Maybe the near-aristocracy. What about the other 99% of historical humans? Do you have any sources that the average peasant was marrying primarily for advantage? What advantage is there even to gain in a marriag

You could say the first X bits of signal from the start of the communication to the point where you can realize what is being said and can predict the rest with certainty represent the informative part of the message; that is, the less you

That’s the fundamental difference from the anti-GOF side. The fundamental difference from the pro-GOF side is that understanding exactly how a nuke works gets you no closer to being able to protect a population from nukes because there is n

This is a problem that would exist without ebikes since some cyclists are just much fitter and faster than others. It’s just becoming more exacerbated since there are more vehicles in the lane and a little more variation in speed. The ebike

This is an electric utility that will avoid a death spiral of distributed solar -> no incentive to tie in -> go off-grid -> selling less power to fewer customers paying to maintain the lines. Other utilities could take a note for t

She’s that not because she has claimed to be, but because she lives as one in mind, word and deed. That’s what makes women women as well, not simply claiming to be one. That you don’t recognize the difference between the lived experience an

It seems to me this highlights a flaw in the payment system - the inability to decline. Am I understanding that right? You really can’t refuse an ETH transfer?

I think you're missing the point - that system invites corruption of the appraiser. There's a nice kickback in it for someone who artificially inflates the appraisal of a worthless property and, forcing the city to buy it from the

You’re just describing a NIMBY - someone who may be pro-development in theory but not in their backyard. YIMBY is an explicit rejection of that. In fact few people are YIMBY in theory.

Most geothermal heat is produced by nuclear decay in subsurface radioisotopes vs gravitational/frictional source or residual heat of planetary formation, so it's effectively renewable at any kind of level of extraction that we mig

There are different types of storage with different trade-offs. In my opinion we'll eventually see lower-efficiency but low cost-per-kWh storage like CO2->hydrocarbon storage used for longer-term seasonal or disaster-preparedness st

Color me surprised to see that name again! I thought Aptera was dead and gone. I hope they fare better this time. The solar car route could be an interesting niche.

What happens to the tube and wire? Do these need to be cut away later to allow the tree to grow beyond a sapling?

I think you’re on to something with that. With so few round trip conversions compared to something that is charged/discharged frequently, the conversion efficiency doesn’t matter as much compared to the cost of storage. For a given kwh

In AI terms, you could think of Frodo as an adversarial example, specifically chosen to exploit a known bias in the watcher’s model.
