Does farm equipment need to pass environmental regulations? I didn't think it did. If it does I doubt there will ever be a startup in this area.

Driver support isn't a given. There's lots of normal hardware which may never be server qualified. You can make a desktop that will run server fine, but it's kind of a Linux situation; you can't pick random parts and ass

The issue is hardware. Most gaming hardware does not have server qualified drivers which may mean you can't use your hardware. Issues normally with WiFi cards and GPUs, most other things will work. No chance of running Windows Server o

I know all of the basic science behind this, but there exist old test reactors that can respond to loads quickly enough to act as peaker plants. Your information is either absolutely ancient or propaganda.

Higher wages. More market competition.

Sounds like red tape or other stupidity. Ramping up very hot yes, but matching loads like you would with a gas plant no.

I think this is an interesting development for smaller generating needs, maybe even personal, but: > Ammonia can also be burned in modified gas turbines, which IMO would be a great way to quickly displace natural gas in peaker plants, to

Piezoelements would work well. Not really a moving part in the traditional sense, with worn surfaces from friction.

If your colleague had thrown him out of the window the world would be a better place. Think on that.

Safety and liability actually mean lack of revenue from data collection and service contracts. It's nothing to do with safety or liability.

Yes. But because the radius on their launcher is tight the object will be experiencing ~10k times gravity as a static load.

Not proof of global warming, proof that this is the most efficacious tax to undertake and will not distort the market to be worse.

by R0b0t1 5y ago
By definition yes, but you need to prove the externality is there and actually worse than your proposed tax.

Floor plate loading is 50-250lbs/sqft over the entire area, with hotspots far greater. If what you really wanted was trees you could put them in there. I think he may have meant more just an open green area.

All other things equal you need to make a very strong case for externalities as the market is efficient. So far it's just people saying "planes are bad." It's entirely possible the externalities of having people (and goo

Time has value. Trains make a lot of sense for freight. I don't think taxing planes to make people not use them is the solution.

by R0b0t1 5y ago
Rail is great for freight but what surprised me was that while I was in Europe flights were faster and cheaper. I don't think the right reaction is to tax planes so that people don't use them, as time has value.

The problem with introducing legislation like that is you end up with the default assumption that it did not exist before the legislation.

Yes, just a cost issue. The park floors is a really good idea, especially for very high density city developments. I had some ideas in similar thrust to yours, I think it's worth following up on. One of the cooler things you could do i

Because Europeans are afraid of everything. I was trying to avoid a comment that seemed politically charged but I don't know any other way to say it. I was into hobby chemistry for a while -- people trying to do anything in the EU find

It's possible. The chemicals are not too dangerous, and yes, you can train yourself. Maybe it wouldn't fly in the EU.

If you control the search engines you can just make it hard to find.

You're partaking in the "say something bold and prove me wrong" rhetoric, you just like the assumption that nuclear is unsafe more. When acting with imperfect information you should not go to such methods.

They were in "need" of decommissioning because necessary repairs had been intentionally stalled to the point of making them politically untenable.

It fizzled due to FUD. Existing plants work and are defensible. The waste can be stored safely. In emerging economies new designs can be used, but they'll probably have to be trialed in a developed economy. You could also pursue econom

> Even when this wasn't given directly to citizens, as it was in the US, it still trickled down from businesses to labor through steady wages. Yeah, no. A lot of it just went into stock buybacks and other navel gazing.

There's usually no explosions, they burn vigorously. But before that they get too hot to hold. Cell management requires thermal cutoffs for this reason.

You're right. Also, you also need to know the password to give sudo.

Some of these are very cursed.

Ah, I did. The type cover/keyboard is necessary. It works well in laptop mode while on a table. It is harder to use in laptop mode on a lap, but possible with practice. The price is worth it, I think -- I have a friend who I convinced
