   I'm fine with nice graphics, they don't remove me from immersion any more than older, more basic graphics. My issue is when there is no substance to the game, when it's mostly eye-candy. As a Starcraft/Civ/Witcher g

   Well, Tesla has done a bit of work with other automakers, but it's probably not in their shareholders' best interest to give away their huge lead in BEV tech. So, why doesn't Tesla build that cheaper, smaller, lower-range car

   I think they're a scientifically-based "story"/"brand" stock based on climate science and reticence to change from other car makers...but, tangentially, if we have a recent influx of wealthy liberal people who

   Those companies dragged their feet for 20 years when we all knew the climate was changing drastically. Tesla is still the only top car company to take climate change as seriously as scientists say we need to (i.e. stop making ICEs now). Tha

   We already have a computer-brain interface: it's our fingers constantly touching our "phones". With such advanced devices hand-held already, why would we even need to interface with the human mind? If we're at the point

   We never have any problems with waste smell for our cat. Dr. Elsey's litter and a scooping out each morning is all it takes for us. We use a litter genie, this is key because it air-tightly stores the nuggets, which a regular garbage b

   Just wondering, do you think it more likely that: A) Russian-sympathetic people post their own sincere views B) Russians for hire in Russia are brought in on all forums/social media C) Russians use bots or non-Russian farms for the B)&

    Homework: What if we made 10-15 minute lecture videos for each class. Student would have to watch/take notes for 50 minutes at night. Then, in school, they do exercises together to practice, not just sit and listen. My favorite math cl

    The fossil fuel economy has enjoyed a psychological bubble: we can trash the atmosphere with whatever we want. Tesla was the ONLY automaker to look at the SCIENCE DENYING bubble and say: maybe we actually need to emit less GHG or our planet

    The sheer storage capacity of the battery is less interesting than the cost. Getting below $100/KWh will reduce EV price to FAR below ICE vehicles; while BEV's are already at parity with ICE on total cost of ownership, BEV's

    It's hard for me to publish my code in healthcare services research because most of it is under lock-and-key due to HIPAA concerns. I can't release the data, and so 90% of the work of munging and validating the data is un-releasab

    It's too easy for rich successful people who have made it to declare that you should follow your passion. We wouldn't hear a quote from the dozens of lesser-known physicists who struggled and wouldn't recommend the field, we

    I'm not Deva, however this is basically an anecdotal case from one clinic. To garner further scientific consideration, they'd need to expand their idea into an RCT, otherwise there are too many confounding factors and lack of cont

    The larger the vehicle, the more problematic. We need small, rightly sized vehicles. Commuters to office jobs don't need maxed out hardcore trucks, and allowing super old/polluting heavy duty trucks to spew garbage onto our commun

    Our biochemistry is based on the most frequently occurring elements in the solar system. It's the most likely biochemistry to use carbon, silicates for instance are much less likely for a number of reasons.
