I have my doubts but perhaps. The thing is that hydrogen's buoyancy is so high that it lifts up above the dirigible very quickly once released. So fire risk isn't really that great in terms of burns. The bigger problem is the &qu

It's nice but it doesn't scale to the level of fertilizer use required today. Most people are innumerate (including people who should know better and could run the numbers) so they don't have a grasp of scale.

Yes but. Converting CO2 to anything still requires an energy source with a non-trivial amount of Joules/kg of CO2 fixed. This is in addition to any energy required to make a catalyst or maintain potency of the catalyst. If you are usi

Home schooling, Parochial and Private Schools. The only choice. All my best business partners and nerd friends were one of the above and rarely public school educated. And force state governments to pay for these as an option instead of pu

For rapidly changing technology industries, certificates merely indicate what technologies are no longer leading edge, and literally that they are trailing edge. You can't and thus don't do certifications for anything that leading

There's nothing inherently wrong with human-in-the-loop. In many, many, many cases, it's is lack of this that causes death, destruction and grievous mistakes while giving humans a nominal "plausible deniability" of mak

I've already been down to a local gun dealers - they are officially saying "no comment" because they can't predict how anything like CCW and gun purchases will change yet. But I have about $10K-$20K ready to spend when i

You are confusing correlation and causation. Places with Gun Control today have higher crime rates including expectation of death by gun than those that are Gun Friendly. Look at our government statistics. And the hierarchal structure of

This is simply part of the solar cycle. And it's a standard part of satellite planning when it comes to operational quality and reliability to account for solar cycle radiation effects. This is an ignorant fear article and/or an

The internet is far too "entropic" to trust bookmarks alone. This has been a clear failing of the web since the 1990s. I've literally been downloading pages since then to have a local image. I've written various native

Yep. One job I had was to work on a team to automate the destruction of 99% of all job applications coming from the internet while still nominally being in compliance with EEOC. We figured out a number of ways. The company actually ONLY h

It's the same reason why going through HR to get a job is inefficient and prone to failure, while "private channels" are more efficient for everyone and get the right person to the right job for the right price FASTER.

My primary take-home from having DOD/DOE security clearances, and having to sit through historical case studies every 3 months about security breaches, is that every DOD/DOE security lapses and espionage event in history were &quo

Here's the simple reason: First, product lifetime (aka reliability) is dependent on activation energy of failure modes - chemical or physical reaction processes that degrade the product structure from its functional as-designed form to

Some of the most popular YouTube channels are similar: people doing "mundane chores" - some watch for ASMR but I think a lot of it to connect to the real world - because online is not very satisfying after you get used to it after

Which is why one block yourself from most MSM and social media which is the primary harvesting system. Just say no to all of it! Ration it if you must use it at all - like having a brandy from time to time but never every day.

I agree. If you are extroverted, you DO NOT need a curated or arbitrary system to social network - you are simply going to do it anyway. If you are introverted, you WILL NEVER take advantage of even a curated system to "create" a
