I don't think there's a scarcity issue with electricity in places like Iceland where volcanic activity provides massive areas of land where electricity can be freely and easily generated. The issue is the ability to transport sai

The key to a hydrogen economy will rely on creation of hydrogen in locations with extremely abundant electricity like Iceland. The next step is shipping it like it's LNG. Not a small order.

This is just an extension and whoever is supposed to be vetting things at Google is completely asleep at the wheel. Think about the fact that this extension has been up for over 2 weeks but if I upload a YouTube video where somebody says th

You completely misinterpreted the statement. It was rather obvious to me that the person you were replying to was curious if there was any conflicts of interest that would cause someone to ignore a conclusion. Finding someone to blame as y

I always wondered why people used the phrase "dunk on" when referring to Twitter. Then I witnessed the purely and obviously performative nature of the bulk of these kinds of user's statements. Even ones who claim to be activ

Define "engineered". If it was bred in a lab via humanized mice engineered with human ACE 2 receptors, would you consider that? What about forms of "no seeum" splicing?

Just in case anyone thinks this was confined to rural areas it was not. I had to go do business in LA specifically around Manhattan Beach and Inglewood, and the folks that live there were taking me to strip malls where all the businesses lo

Are you also going to post Wikipedia articles about various atrocities committed against the Israelis or just those committed by them? Both exist and yet I seem to never find people that are willing to admit that.

That's not the region where they come from. They are primarily collected from their locations of origin which is in Yunnan. This is not to say that there are not horseshoe bats in Wuhan although they don't like urban areas and l

I too allowed my brain to be hijacked by my hatred for Trump. I allowed my biases to cause me to essentially outsource my decision-making to my enemy who then by aggressively going for a conclusion in a manner that was too early for concre

As an American, I'm surprised by the LACK of anger and distrust towards the EU by Europeans, specifically in the wake of the vaccine fiasco where the EU was so dramatically behind in procuring and administering vaccines to the populati

Absolutely. I studied applied economics. It's been maddening watching economists whom I respect making proclamations (one way or the other) with high degrees of confidence that inflation is or isn't a problem. They have no idea,

I studied applied economics in college. It's actually how I got into professional programming, due to coding for simulations as part of my major. It is way, way too early, based on my experience, to make any formal claims about why a

My comment had absolutely nothing to do with Trump or previous CDC policy. I thought he was a terrible president and a horrifically inept manager. But his presidency broke so many people's brains that folks like yourself immediately r

What's really interesting is how many of my comments on this topic have been downvoted to oblivion with absolutely no responses from the people doing the downvoting. I think a willingness to face temporary discomfort is something that

My brother's wife is one of these folks you talk about, with the "keeping kids out of school" and "leaving deliveries on porch for 3 days". Very well said! What I'm very curious about is what makes me perceive

You "question the authenticity" of my statement. I'm sorry, but this is part of the misinformation. Of course there are positive cases of COVID in schools, and of course high schools (my son is a freshman) have higher rates.

During the Obama administration, he put out an executive order for Federal Gov't agencies to open up their datasets. There were hardcore standards set, APIs, certain formats, etc. This is the same initiative that created data.gov. I

Yes this is true. Basically every Tesla owner that saw the story knew right away that it was being sensationalized. I was very surprised to see the LA times jump on it when they certainly have numerous employees that drive these vehicles.

What you fail to consider is that there are a lot of people who simply would rather sit around and do drugs and watch TV than do any job that they are qualified for. They also lack the motivation to want to acquire new skills that would al

I would encourage you to look for cities in the United States with declining populations or even states and ask yourself if you still feel the same way. Nobody complains about housing prices in Detroit. (Yes I'm aware there is a specif
