You probably need a sputter coating machine too for most applications, and, at least in some cases, tricky consumables like liquid nitrogen. I'm with you in wishing that they were more accessible, though. So many people…
Average US home. In Europe it is around 6-7 kWh/day. This might increase with electrification of heating and transport, but probably nothing like as much as the energy consumption they are replacing (due to greater…
I've got to admit I found that 32% claim staggering. Does anyone know the source of that and what exactly was measured?
Za'atar is the name of a herb and also a spice mix
Thanks - the comments are worth reading too
I did a similar proctored digital coin toss type experiment at uni back in the dark ages. In the proctored experiment the best rate of pay was achieved by those who just skipped trading for each of the 15 days and left…
A similar method is handy for some mental arithmetic involving squares, e.g. it's easy to calculate 1005² because it's 1000² plus two added blocks of 5 x 1000, plus a small 5² block, so 1,010,025. Going the other way,…
That is quite an offensive and uninformed comment. I worked in that sector a long time ago and your hipshot is very far from my lived experience. If you want to educate yourself in what the large community of typically…
Not really comparable because these are 12 year old children. Not only could the phones be put away at night, but universally available parental controls could be used to lock the phones at a specified time each night.…
The advertising for this on TV was also confusing in this regard. It's only because most UK secondary schools already ban phone use in school time that (in context) it obviously means round-the-clock.
I agree that this study didn't separate the two very well, but it's a difficult task to be fair. They found that the kids' bed times were far earlier without phones, but was that a short term effect? Was it an effect of…
I don't think you have the appropriate context here. This isn't about "good" (in person?) friends vs digital friends known only online. This is about schoolkids who almost all have smartphones losing a channel of…
If you mean a printed book describing how every feature of (say) Chrome works, then no. They don't produce one. The "manual" for Chrome is Google's support Web pages for the browser, which I have read in conscious…
It's an interesting point you make about the effort involved in making a dish. I'm on a mission to eat, and mostly home cook, food from as many countries as possible. I'm at about 25% of the world's countries now after…
An argument can also be made for a similar effect on language. In the UK in recent decades I've noticed a trend towards young people from various regions adopting a specific south London accent or dialect. Ironically…
My old Samsung S20FE can plug into my office-issue Dell monitor and give me full Dex desktop (also using the second screen) and connect to the keyboard and mouse that stay wirelessly connected to the USB ports on the…
These come up every few weeks on HN. Something something Playwright, something GPT something. I fully agree that you should try to sell the thing first, because a good chunk of the people who might want such a tool…
Yes, I'm not sure how helpful it is in TFA to compare living costs against average living costs in the area and then call it a win if you're anywhere below. If I was unemployed my living costs would be far, far below…
Agree on Ripple Energy especially for the way the tax worked on it. Their solar offer seemingly made even less financial sense, due to the very high cost of paying for your slice of the huge costs of running the…
As per the article, it needs to be called AI to qualify for a pot of government funding.
Thanks for this recommendation. I've started with their Atomic Habits episode which is excellent. Critical thinking skills are an essential foundation before picking up this type of book. I'd be pleased to hear of any…

Low dose aspirin is used to reduce the risk of strokes: https://www.nhs.uk/medicines/low-dose-aspirin/about-low-dose...
Last time I subscribed they also allowed you to easily browse releases by record label, which I've found to be more useful for music discovery than the algorithms of the major services.
Less surprising that Dominic West is British, given his roaming American accent.
