Buying electricity or anything now – independent, verifiable data and better than human interfaces.

Conclusion: Perhaps energy companies ought to be required to tell you where to get independent advice for choosing energy plans.  And the plan details and operation and benefits to the company should be open (public and auditable, verifiable and clear). Society functions best if incentive move workers to do what is best for users, not

All parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are covered now, including gravitational frequencies

Chad, I asked about 14 microMeters which is LWIR “thermal”. Breaking up the electromagnetic spectrum into tiny market segments is counter productive.  The real gains come from when the whole spectrum from below nanoHertz to above ExaHertz is covered.  I use ElectronVolts a lot.  It is even better.  And there are groups working from femtoElectronVolts

Texas Instruments employees have many interests, skills, backgrounds, a large website and a large footprint

Texas Instruments: Powering inclusion through employee resource groups at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbIxZXy14zk I would like to read and see more about how employees at TI (1) work together inside TI, (2) share together inside TI, (3) work and collaborate in a world of 8 billion humans, with 5 billion on the Internet. The name shifted a bit.

A ThorLabs camera for “NIR”. Comments on Kelvin labeling of image sensors and electromagnetic regions

Chad, I found the spectral sensitivity of the CS135MUN camera.  I am looking out past 2,000 nm = 2 um (below 1500 Kelvin, below 85 THz) https://www.thorlabs.com/images/tabimages/CS135MUN_Quantum_Efficiency_G1-780.gif https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/wiens-law I also found your ThorLabs repositories on GitHub, but probably not sufficient for what I need. https://github.com/Thorlabs Do you make your own images sensors, or use ones

A link going to House.gov is automatically going to a nonprofit site, without explaining relationships and funding

A link going to House.gov is automatically going to a nonprofit site, without explaining relationships and funding I was checking (“gun violence” site:gov) and a link comes up: https://iqconnect.house.gov/iqextranet/iqClickTrk.aspx?&cid=IL10BS&crop=0000.0000.0000.0000&report_id=&redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gunviolencearchive.org%2F&redir_log=802130211903248 This should stop at House.gov first, so that the relation between House.gov and a non-profit site is clear. As it is, Internet users cannot easily determine
