There is pressure to standardize the "feel" of an emoji because otherwise miscommunication can occur between users of different platforms/emoji fonts.

Well, all that mandatory tech does make the cars more expensive...

Wow, ridiculous. In Croatia almost every condo built in the last 20 years has AC already pre-installed (or at least conduits and installation location prepared).

It's basically impossible to buy "cooling only" AC in the EU, everything is also a heat pump now (and it makes total sense, making AC heat instead of cool is just a matter of adding several cheap components to reverse evapora

Warning in this context means something obvious to the unsuspecting user that collapse is imminent. Like a building creaking or buckling minutes or hours before finally giving way.

And solar plants, unlike most other plants can be easily and quickly shut off so you don't even need to sell at negative prices.

Labor also isn't getting cheaper, and someone has to assemble and test all those switches. You can automate... but LCD touchscreen is simpler.

It was a non-event because 2100 will actually be an "odd" one, divisible by four but not a leap year. Every dumb implementation that looked at division by 4 got 2000 right.

> The biggest issue with touchscreen is that the tech they are using is likely going to disappear in a few years at best, and getting replacement parts is going to be a mess. This issue is even worse with physical buttons.

I'm sure the really important switches (like the big "red" SCRAM/trip button) will still be physical. As they are in SpaceX Dragon capsule.

> Science is cheap. Indeed. Sustained nuclear chain reaction was achieved in Chicago Pile-1 beneath the stands of campus football stadium at the end of 1942. That's when, scientifically, it was proven that the bomb is possible.

From what I can gather, 160 Wh/kg is currently possible with sodium-ion, maybe even a bit more in the future.
