This has been a LEGAL issue in Florida for about 18 months. The culture war in the state government has empowered anyone to be able to weaponize their dislike for differing opinions even if they are facts. So many professors are watering do

Does this mean other elements like cobalt are becoming the bigger bottleneck in battery production? The US found a large lithium reserve in Nevada not long ago; or to be clear a large reserve that they can now more affordably extract. As an

Panama has a tiny railroad that follows the canal, if they thought this was a viable alternative they would expand it. I think they realize the labor cost on both ends would make this prohibitive + the time to unload and load up another shi

There was another nicaraguan canal project that was floated maybe 10 years ago and supposedly financed by the Chinese government. The government officials involved all ended up charged with an assortment of graft surrounding the project.

The number of birds killed annually by windows is probably 100x that killed by turbines. Hard to convince everyone to remove windows.

Watching this reminded me of The Wizard movie from the 1980s. Which at the time (I was 7) I had no idea what ASD was, now it resonates in a completely different way. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098663/

thank you for that clarification. I also never suggested they were idiots. But resource constrained + not trained as electricians = me wondering how do you make it foolproof and safe and cheap.

I was surprised to see Adam Neumann as a keynote speaker at the Future investment conference in Riyadh a few weeks ago. I thought perhaps he'd be persona non-grata due to burning so much in saudi $.

So firefox was ahead of the pack on the add-ons/extensions game, but then didn't push it or support it after a while. Now after years of chrome having a few integrations or add-ons that make my life easier, i have a hard time swit

This may be a dumb question, but if we're collecting volcanic rock, could we not tap into geothermal energy from the volcano to get cheap energy?

I rode in an Argo car (RIP) and it avoided an accident where everyone in the car was like "where did that guy come from". It saw at an awkward angle around the corner before any human could have.

This is great news. This could bring jobs and link lots of regions of what's a fairly large (bigger than texas) country. Someone should start a pilots school for these planes.

I was curious about this. The guy you're saying was falsely accused was ALREADY dead from suicide before the bombing took place. His body was found days after the bombing according to Wikipedia [1]. (took 3 seconds to find this referen

Agreed. What do you think the reason for not doing it would be? Liability? Are they responsible if someone takes it and modifies code? I've gotta assume they could cover their butts with a terms of use. This could be a very solid best

A lot of them including porkbun make money on add-ons, like $40/year for an email account that likely costs them $3 to service.

I have friends who have volunteered to call people for various campaigns, they usually sit at a computer and it has the number queued up and they hit dial, and it goes. They do this for hundreds of calls an hour. but its exactly as you said

Not to sidetrack too much, but is this not a violation of campaign rules? Aren't all text messages from a political campaign at least supposed to be operated by a human touching a phone somewhere? This is to avoid robodialers and other

I think you need to think of it from 2 perspectives. What if I only had 5 years to make an impact and what if I had 20. The UN has its 17 sustainable goals [1] which can give you a better idea of what challenges face us at a macro level. St

Ah was coming to point that out. SP, Mexico City, and a few other mega cities in LatAm are already relying on private helicopters for the ultra-rich to get around the cities. They probably have an advantage over any US market for these EVTO

Look up the nordic, and reverse nordic curls, and tibialis raises and TKE exercises. There is a youtuber who has popularized them (kneesovertoesguy). I've found they help me immensely when it comes to stiffness/soreness in my knee

Wow, I went to UVA in the early 2000s I vaguely recall seeing him run once or twice. Had no idea he was a former student who never left. Just thought it was a quirky townie who was another interesting character of cville.
