Your post is an anthology of myths and incorrect information. Some facts: * Nuclear energy has received less than 50% of the subsidies that renewables have. Renewables only recently ceased to "need" this, and they've been un

Also, we honestly don't understand what "smarter" or "better looking" mean in genetic terms... we don't really even agree on what they mean between individuals. So, doing embryo culling works for specific, simp

I'm glad to see they mention one of the major reasons r/science is so successful... good moderation. Through some combination of random chance and volunteer effort, that sub has a (relatively) consistent, fair, and active moderati

IBM has been doing this for years.... at this point, research has to be a huge part of their expenses and royalties a huge part of their revenue. They invented things like copper interconnects that are standard now, along with a huge raft

It will if you attach an engine and fuel tank to it. Or alternatively, a small bird in the wrong place can take down a plane. Or for that matter, a clog in the pitot tube from ice.

He consistently does experimental things with model rockets that no one else has managed to pull off, or would even try at that scale. Reaction controls, launch tubes... he's really cutting edge, which is unusual for Youtube channels.

The robotic technology involved here is decades old. What they're doing that's new is designing for manufacture using modern materials. That robot arm is probably an off the shelf part.

It didn't go wrong. It went very well. It didn't turn into the idealized vision that the author apparently had for it, but that's not unusual.

This is exactly how such shops were powered in the late 1800-early 1900s, before electricity was everywhere. The belt systems (sometimes in large factories there were thousands of machines running) were driven by water power, steam engines
