Comment on Electret Mic: How it Works and How to Connect it to a Computer

Richard K Collins Internet Best Practices, Internet efficiency, Schools, Universities, Learning and Working, Visualizations Simulations, Web Policies Internet Polices March 1, 2022

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqLhvg0I2BU Your microphone link says that particular model is “discontinued”. I use Amazon for convenience and there are several electret microphone items worth seeing at https://www.amazon.com/electret-microphone/s?k=electret+microphone They have the electret microphone elements, but there are also some “electret microphone amplifier” breakout boards that are inexpensive and might work. I ordered some, but have not tried

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wZ0wTqJIxY I am fairly certain you are just seeing the fiber that is concentrated in the feces. It has about the same heating value per unit mass as the original, but indigestible. Most all the sugars, starches and lighter fats are likely to be used for energy – converted to energy, CO2 and water with

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/3340967_Industrial_applications_of_pulsed_power_technology_IEEE_Trans_Dielecrt_Electr_Insul/comments Thanks for gathering this together. But the last decades or so, the cost of high power, high dI/dt controls has dropped considerably – drones, 3D printers, PWM servos, robotics, vehicles. I have only looked at a few areas so far. What you sort of missed was the sensor and control and modeling side. Atmospheric

http://Article Nuclear Desalination: A State-of-the-Art Review Thank you for putting this together. This is a clear, and fairly complete, review of the issues, economics, performance and maintenance of nuclear desalination processors. I just wish that each site’s operational, financial and social impacts were public on the Internet in a form for comparison and optimization. Encouraging

Is there an Internet data policy for SKA and related data? Human value of shared raw, live data streams

Richard K Collins All Sky Cameras, Collaborative Global Model of the Sun, Collaborative Model and Data, Global Climate Change, Intelligent Algorithms, Internet Best Practices, Internet efficiency, Visualizations Simulations February 6, 2022

Karen Lee-Waddell, Pete Wheeler, SKA web contact, I am trying to piece together the Internet data sharing policy for SKA from what is visible on the Internet. Is SKA data going to be available to everyone on the Internet?  In accessible form? Reading these it seems SKA data is only for certain people for very

Hello, I was enjoying your model site.  One of the better ones on the Internet in terms of ease of use and clarity. The only thing that I would like different is to have parameters in the generated URL, so that I can bookmark a run and go back to it again, without manually entering

SpaceX Starship can return from Mars without surface refilling at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u55zpE4r-_Y The engineering design and manufacturing costs for atomic power are a lot less than the cost of hauling chemical or solar panels to Mars. Do the numbers and see what it is worth to spend on lightweight atomic power units and technologies. A few ten

Comment on a wonderful recipe

Richard K Collins Intelligent Algorithms, Internet Best Practices, Internet efficiency, Open Algorithm Development, Process Monitoring and Control October 31, 2021

It’s so delicious that I cook it almost every day! incredible recipe # 10 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G54qzw7iQM The food is beautiful. Your methods and cooking show well. It is easy to see the care you put into making textures that fit the cooking, and probably taste good and are satisfying to eat. But, you need context.
