What city is this in? Because I've never noticed one in nyc

In most situations i agree with you, but i think when it comes to the purchase of techie things (like which computers and OS a company should use) then the opinion of techies matters. Their opinion may not matter as much as it should, but in aggregate over time it can cause large changes in purchasing decisions

I think this graph doesn't have to move left to right, it can also move right to left. On several occasions quantum computing started to move up the "tech trigger" slope, but without any functional applications for the current technology the point slid back down to the left again.

I think the graph needs at least one more demarcated region. After "tech trigger" there needs to be "real world applications". Without real world applications you can never progress past the tech trigger phase.

In chemistry this is the equivalent of Energy of Activation. If a reaction can't get over the big first step, then it can't proceed on to any secondary steps

I was gonna say I've never seen a price gap that wide

Listening to the recordings of that scammer talk, some people really have no soul

Just based on the title it sounds sensible to me. I assume there's some incentive that makes the people want to do this

OMG thank you!!!

 

The website i used to watch streams of tv and movies is now offline. Anyone know of any other good pirate streaming websites?

When a company opens a facility in another country, why don't they just higher local people to be the managers?

fedia.io is the replacement you're looking for. It's an mbin, which is a branch from kbin

You just said that AC can't make an indoor space cooler than the temperature outside. This is completely wrong and easily disprovable by simply asking anyone who lives in a hot region. The air conditioned indoors is always MUCH cooler than temperature outside.

Like, how do you think freezers work? The temperature inside the freezer stays below freezing while the ambient room temperature is 80 F.

AC is an ACTIVE heat pump. It can push heat out to where it's already hotter, because it's using energy to do it. What you're describing is a passive cooling system, but air conditioners are active systems that use energy to push heat against the gradient. It's like how a passive water pipe can only have water flow down from it's highest point, but a powered water pump can actively move water upward to a point above where it started.
