  Sony owns Blu Ray tech but not DVD. DVD was industry consortium to prevent a repeat of the VHS or betamax war. Only lasted a generation unfortunately.

  Geez that’s a lot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Know thy enemy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You have to be careful when talking about steel because coal is both an ingredient (steel is iron + carbon) and used for heating afaik. You can take coal out of the heating step (confusingly called steel making) but not out of the ingredient step, unless you want to find a different carbon source.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Know thy enemy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And oil for Styrofoam. And met coal for steel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stress⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So was a wrong, most researchers go through MD/PhD programs? Like what percent of researchers go through medical school? 50/50?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stress⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So I’m curious. The way I see it, the actual practicing of medicine doesn’t advance the field itself. What advances it is research and development. Do the researchers actually go though med school or is that path more like biology PhD, chemistry PhD, etc?

  Green usually means go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please ban data caps, Internet users tell FCC⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Any attempt to limit or ban data caps will draw strong opposition from FCC Republicans and Internet providers. Republican FCC Commissioner Nathan Simington last week argued that regulating data caps would be akin to mandating free coffee refills:

  Suppose we were a different FCC, the Federal Coffee Commission, and rather than regulating the price of coffee (which we have vowed not to do), we instead implement a regulation whereby consumers are entitled to free refills on their coffees. What effects might follow? Well, I predict three things could happen: either cafés stop serving small coffees, or cafés charge a lot more for small coffees, or cafés charge a little more for all coffees.

  You used to see a lot of bad analogies when people didn’t understand computers or the Internet. Are we still in that age? The Internet is a series of tubes?

  Shipping container houses are not it. I’d call it a scam, but that typically requires something actually for sale. But if it helps: it’s a scam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All these hurricanes might kick off a new modular house trend.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously? It’s surface area to volume problem. You have this tiny box. And then you have problems with doors, Hvac. The whole thing idea is idiotic.
