Like the Mercury and Apollo capsules, like the space shuttles, the ISS, to borrow a phrase, belongs in a museum.
TENGs in Space
Years ago, I shared an article about triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), and I suggested I might follow up with more detail someday. Since then, I launched one on a rocket.
Information about Misinformation on Disinformation
While the terms are often conflated, misinformation and disinformation are not equivalent, and efforts both to study and address them should take care of that distinction.

Tuning the Universe

The proposed Weizenbaum test is so lacking in structure, objectivity, rigor, and specificity as to not even define what the grading scale or reference answers would be.
A Measured Post
