Seems to me like atmospheric water generators are a good fit here. That gets rid of the brine problem entirely, and from what I've read it's competitive in terms of energy consumption. https://solarimpulse.com/solu

The thermal conductivity properties are perhaps what makes this material most interesting. Translucency is fine in many applications, for example as greenhouse windows. I've been fantasizing about building a rather big greenhouse latel

I mean it might, but then again it might not. Tesla is far from the only company in Sweden that doesn't have a collective bargaining deal in place, in fact it's quite common to not have one. This is supported by the Swedish model.

As a Swede, this lawsuit is actually more interesting than it might seem. The issue at hand here is that a government agency is failing to provide the service it legally must provide (delivering licence plates), due to it's dependency

I think your current implementation of choosing the octave for us is good, but it would be nice if it was possible to play the notes without guessing them, and thus causing the octave to change(ie moving to the octave of the next note). If

Technology has a way creating new jobs when it takes old ones away. I'm not wise enough to know that those new jobs will be, perhaps we're all destined to become "prompt engineers" or similar. Who knows? I've worked

Exactly why I'm so excited about it! And so confused by the apparent outrage on display here for it. How is it morally wrong for me to be able to do that? I'm trying to understand it but so far all I can see is gatekeeping saying

Oh that would be so cool! I could finally give all my game ideas a shot, even the more weird/experimental ones! As it is now I have to consider expected payout divided by expected effort, and a lot of ideas are just non starters becaus

I have, and it kinda works, but I usually have a pretty good idea of what I want the theme to sound like, and I'm never able to find something that even resembles my vision. That leaves me with 2 options: hire an orchestra and a choir,

I already can't pay them, so nothing changes in that point. I don't know why it makes you so angry that I want the best tools imaginable to make music, for my games and otherwise? I promise you won't be inundated by the music

As a indie game developer, this could plausibly enable me to add decent sounding soundtrack to my games. I couldn't afford to pay a proper artist, and my musical skills are... Limited.. It _is_ just a tool, a new instrument essentially

Is it possible he did a good job with his successful ventures, and a bad job with the unsuccessful ones? I find it difficult to believe both SpaceX and Tesla was 100% pure luck and chance. Not even the devil is that lucky.

Laws vary a bit from country to country in Europe, but here in Sweden at least the cops have to protect the safety of the people in the mass gatherings, safeguarding their right to protest/demonstrate/whatever. This system has rea

Kinda like how Nintendo basically created the PlayStation, and then abandoned it pre launch, leaving Sony with a almost finished competing product. I guess in the gaming industry you shouldn't kill your darlings?
