that's sloppy thinking. I'd much rather they built bunkers, them not doing so is just a sign that they're pursuing pipe dreams instead of reality. It's not a lack of commitment to the ideal they're pursuing, it&#x2

If it turns out to be a successful motor, they will either license it or be flooded with competitors with similar designs. The big secret of this new motor is pretty much whether it can be successfully done... kind of like the secret of ma

Common misconception. I purchased my boat for $3000, and have spent around $12000 on it in four years making it safe and cleaning it up. I don't have the money to pay for a $20,000 retrofit to electric power. I can't afford a Te

Also, China is not a democracy, and much of their growth has been driven centrally. It's debatable how long it can be sustained, and it behaves very differently from open markets in an oligarchy. Different rules apply.

It's a strange game... the only winning move is not to play. If any project accepts that its goal is to gain users by displacing other products (commercial or not) then that project is committing to a fight it can't win simply bec

They're selling a 25-40 hp equivalent. My boat needs something like two 75 HP motors to run safely at displacement speeds, and much more to get on plane. In case you're curious, it's about 10M long. You have to have a larger

Only for tiny boats, though, and they're quite expensive. My boat needs two 150kW plus engines to move at speed. I might be able to get by at displacement speed with two 50kW engines, but something that like isn't available, and

"on board" in this case means producing a full line of servers with the AMD chips, not just being interested in them. People can't buy interesting ideas, and businesses aren't going to change system vendors overnight.

Fission hasn't been practical in the past using old reactor technology. Climate change makes a big difference in the equation, though. Marine nuclear power is one of the best understood, safest areas of nuclear use that exists, even u

No, we've never been running out. The government liquidating the strategic reserve distorted the price, but it will adjust. Helium is produced from natural gas wells but with the prices for the gas where they have been for so long no

Physical space is almost never a constraint in data centers. It's power and cooling that are almost always the limit. If AMD's chips offer better performance/watt, that would make them attractive. The capital cost of purcha

Unfortunately, like many vehicles electric boats are limited to new... no one offers retrofit parts, and it will take decades before enough of these trickle down to new owners for them to take the place of existing boats, even assuming the

If you look, there's an excellent paper on an academic team that did a low cost construction project on a small mill for micromachining. They achieved very high accuracy with fairly ordinary components. Here's one link to the pro

Correct - the bias I was referring to was that you seem to believe that a "technologically superior" country would be better at managing nuclear reactors. However, the truth is that technological superiority of a country has littl

You're speaking very generally. Many peoples of the world don't eat farmed meat the way the western world does, preferring fish or even insect meat as a mainstay. A percentage of the population is vegan or vegetarian. Also, &quot

Again? They did this regularly with the telecoms, too. At this point it's just a gift to the corporations, no one anywhere believes they'll actually build rural broadband with it.

I played E&B at first. I lost interest when I realized that the only thing worth doing in the game was following the high value trade route to get better ships. Over and over. Nothing else let you advance remotely as fast, and if you

CCP was and is crippled by the legacy code in the game... and they chose to not try to fix it all at once(which to be fair would have required major refactoring and cost) but to try to evolve the code over time. I think if they'd just

Yeah... I really like the change to chat they made recently, that was one of the things that I thought was broken about the game. I don't like skill injectors much, especially once it became possible to buy them with real world money..
