They sent one to the municipality of Stockholm. The majority leader in Stockholm responded by suggesting they could just turn off the water and sewer system for the embassy :P

From what I understood, laser fusion needs laser efficiencies not just 40x better than what NIF uses, but like 3 or 4 orders of magnitude more efficient than the state of the art. Seems like a non-starter.

That's not it. Individualism doesn't mean you have to be blase about lying, stealing, and fraud.

Same reason they have expensive university, extremely expensive healthcare, for profit prisons, etc, I guess. There's a dog-eat-dog mentality over there which is quite puzzling to us Europeans.

So much tech that can be accomplished by just using Waterman butterfly, Peters, Dymaxion or any of a host of other projections.

99% up now. It's pretty impressive how fast they can get the system up and running again considering how seldom they need to do these types of things.

Is this a joke? Because that seems like exactly the wrong thing, and such a system would itself be a bottleneck for downtime issues. Using twitter has the huge advantage that spikes in users in Spain for checking this stuff is a rounding er

How big a deal would it be to include the bytecode->PySM translation into the ISA? It seems like it would be even cooler if the CPU actually ran python bytecode itself.

> have they done or said to make you believe that they support this? Most of those people are just cowardly bending to corruption, which is not the same thing as what was originally asked for.

The problem the article is talking about is that those different notations are used for super basic stuff that really do not need any of that.

Sure, but like.. the utter failure of projects like this is explicitly needed to NOT fail THE NEXT TIME. That's not "hubris", it's just how science and technology works.

It says "copyright microsoft" in that license file. Just because THAT file is MIT is irrelevant. They didn't retain the original license file. They should have APPENDED to it, keeping the original copyright holder name, other

Another code might be that Nintendo is still selling super well, producing great games and consoles, and just crushing it even with that kind of competition.
