My memory is that two-stage rockets had a few more points of failure but were harder to retrieve, so not really worth the effort. The Estes engines solved most of the technical challenges, but I lived in an area with lots of trees and no h

Previous studies have shown that young adults who are susceptible to schizophrenia are more likely to develop it if they were heavy cannabis users at a younger age. As they get older it is less likely to develop, or they are better able to

It's really annoying that people here are talking about "Zero" fee funds as if they were zero-fee funds. As far as I can tell "Zero" means less than 0.05% fees.

The numbers in the OP show that the RO equipment is by far the largest cost so you need to maximize its utilization. The energy is used to pump water through the RO at high pressure so another alternative would be to use solar to pump wate

So if I build a plant today to produce water at 22 cents per cubic meter, somebody could come along next year and build another plant that produces water for 15 cents and put me out of business. Then the year after that, another plant produ

The nonprofit will hold stock in the BPC. I think the effect of this is that the nonprofit board, which is independent of Altman, will be restricted from selling their shares. However the nonprofit will eventually convert from a public ch

I think you are missing my point. Microsoft signed a 20-year agreement with Constellation to restart TMI Unit 1. Do you think Constellation would make the same agreement with Open AI? The risk is completely different.

What if it is a 5 gigawatt data center in the middle of nowhere or if the power source is a nuclear reactor or three? Presumably, data centers are paying a premium that other customers aren't willing to pay.
