As a bilingual person, do you dream in both languages, or one particular language?


In my case after living in another country for about 3-6 months I've started having dreams in new language. It came more less together with having inner dialogue in the head in new language. New one replaced the old one.


That just means your language is part of your memory, not that it is necessary for it to function.

I have not tried using a motor as a mic.


Good ole' Servodrive. I've read some threads with Tom Danley on a few message boards and he is one incredibly fascinating individual.

Wouldn't the efficiencies between input/output transducers be inverse? A servo drive transducer would use very little energy to produce a lot of acoustic output, so wouldn't it require a large amount of acoustic input to generate any signal at all?


AC motors as well. Lots of brushless quadcopter motor controllers buzz out diagnostic/startup tones from the motors as they power up.


Awesome work.


So, would this be consumer-facing internet, or would SpaceX be subletting capacity on their network for various providers to offer "space internet"?

This has been mentioned before in the context of municipalities building/maintaining fiber infrastructure and subletting to ISPs.

Do you mean the integration into the doctors' existing systems?


yep. how do you feed the appointments into your system?


Are we talking Patriot Act re-authorization or original signing?
