Yet. If we do start building them, they'll probably be small modular reactors instead of the giant old tech ones, and those are both faster and cheaper to build.

It's one way to do that... but the present format and management of the domain name system isn't important. You can create a security certificate for any form of text string and use it to validate the other end of the connection.

Yes, you just have to get everyone who might want to access a .org address or their DNS provider to recognize the new root. That's the problem - you have to get organizations - some of whom are deeply invested in making money off of DN

And there are chipsets now capable of simultaneously using GPS, Galileo, and BeiDou (Chinese system) for greater accuracy. Any ability of the US government or military to "cut off" GPS has been nullified.

Exactly. Internet naming is a situation where artificial value is assigned to a nearly valueless resource for the purpose of collecting rent. There's no technical reason we can't have multiple systems for translating names into

I noticed this too. In addition to planting forests that we then harvest and convert to biochar at peak rather than letting them decay and release carbon back to the cycle, we need to use energy intensive means to capture carbon. I have see

Not really, but bomb waste and spent fuel rods are separate subjects. The volume of fuel rods we're talking about here is small enough that for the most part the spent fuel rods are stored on-site at the plants. Not a great long term

It's not all of humanity. Just people in industrialized nations, for the most part. The third world has babies as much as they can as often as they can. So many of our "first world" problems wouldn't happen if we'

Nutty article. After the US exploded the first atomic bomb, every other country that had been working on one knew it could be done, and that was the last "secret" of the bomb. The reason the US did it first was due to its industr

Initially, at least. Valve isn't the same company they were back when they developed things like HL2. They've basically been sitting back and sucking up money for a long time. They're good at that, but there's no indic
