While I believe/hope you are right there are use cases for gigawatt energy sources that cannot be met even with pervasive PV deployments. We will not be manufacturing aluminium with solar. We won't be pumping gigga tones of C02 ou

That's just nonsense. Forth generation breeder reactors burn their own waste to something close to irrelevant. Existing "Waste" should be continually burned and the energy used to sequester C02 from the atmosphere, for exampl

This is very bad news. I have always highly valued resumes as a very effective candidate filter. It works as follows: I take the pile of resumes, shuffle them thoroughly an divide roughly in half. The pile to the left goes in the bin. I rep

As one who lives amongst Australians let me assure you that nothing, not even vigorous beatings on the cranium with a heavy stick, will have any measurable effect on the brain activity of the average Australian.

I disagree. The potential benefits far outweigh the vacuous 'evil' you describe above. Lets first have the technology and capability that could possibly be abused before we try stopping that tech from ever happening... So what i

Excellent news. The more companies get access to large current datasets the better for all people that find dying inconvenient.

Also American made "documentaries". I cannot watch a doco made by Americans, its infuriating. Maybe 13 minutes 9 seconds worth of content stretched over 55 minutes of excruciatingly repeated cut scenes of the same damn clip over a

My $20 is totally worth the "risk". Here's some dude from Brazil, that has at least some demonstrable skill, willing to take a month and have a go at improving a tool I use every day. For the price of four coffees. As for Bra

Last time I checked, to powder stone took more than 0 Joules of energy. Unless this powder was transported back in time from gigayears after the last sun burned out in this universe and entropy is near max, to now, to make this pen. In whi
