If Ford or Toyota had a Steve Job or Elon musk they wouldn’t be in the same place. Listen to interview with Jim Keller, yes, there is a whole team doing the work, but you need a technical/management person with the credibility and will

Hire Jim Keller back and build the next thing instead of milking the same customers. The company developing a competent alternative to the M1/M2 or nvidia GPU is going to have a good business. Seems to me that Intel is alway in this cy

But if you could cycle your battery from 50%-80% it’s possible you don’t get any meaningful wear on the battery. You could also just charge in period of low usage of the grid (if there were special tariffs for that)

EV batteries will store energy. As long as EV scale faster than solar/wind we will have little need for storage batteries. EV are moving in the direction of bidirectional charging and will thus become generator in peak demand period, t

Sprints are good to force a cycle of feedback on dev team vs customer. But they are not the problem you are trying to solve, just a tool. I like the concept of false idols in christianity: you must orient yourself toward truth and love (bui

Have you read the bible? Or see the biblical lecture of Dr Peterson on Youtube? I am surprised myself to find it useful after the stoics and other quests for meaning. It’ hard for me to suggest without any pointer to where you are. Maybe I

You need to dig deeper, only ask questions. What is his current view of the world of humans, etc. Once you have a grasp of that, there is probably a fiction that can show him how his vision is incomplete. We are after knowledge and to be us

Look at the research. Inflammation is naturally removed from mitochondria with the use of naturally occuring infrared light. (I know it sound far fetched and hippie) We have created an environment devoid of it and we reap the consequences:

And... one big factor in inflammation is our modern lack of sun exposure (infrared). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wadKIiGsDTw Taking someone sick with high inflammation and putting them in a hospital bed is terrible for

I agree, it only make sense if you have so much excess solar that you don’t know what to do with it in peak production. Even then, you need to factor in the depreciation of the hydrogen facilities.

The ocean is a harsh and very variable place. I have see a video of a ship refueling while underway with a tanker, you could do something similar but you need a way to recharge the electric tanker.

Those materials are not consumable that’s what make the most difference. For sure, there is some pollution involved in extraction of the elements, but you do it once. Contrast that with oil where you burn it and it’s done, you start over.

True, the population is aging (people live longer) and birth rate is collapsing. The result is that it’s not apparent when you look at population. But aging is having a massive effect on the economy, the job sector, etc. At some point it’s

I agree with you. But we are already doing ton of things. I know it doesn’t show on co2 concentration yet. Solar, wind power, batteries, EV are all on exponential growth curves. In 10 years we will be in a much different place.

You can look at the data on birth to know where it’s going (no human appears at 30yo) For climate in 50 years... Where humans will be. Consider that the internet was at the beginning 20 years ago. Where was solar and EV 20 years ago. I am b
