   well, luckily for the US, we have massive hydro power dams in the west that are low because of 20 years of drought, so we can actually do pumped storage. Ideally, we would pump salt water from oceans to the salt water reservoirs and use sur

   I work at PARC, and I hard disagree. My "CEO" of our division is an impressive salesman that just had everyone at our conference coming to our booth.

   I work at xerox PARC and we do IoT. Another group does 3d printing and others are doing various types of engineering and ai/ml.

   scrolling through the news on different subreddits is quite fun and informative. Quick and easy way to get caught up on local and world news, sports, politics, etc. So all scrolling isn't bad

   probably closer to 3500-4000 USD. Maybe $5k if theyre feeling greedy. But I think they want to undercut intel so theyll keep their margins reasonable so they can crush the Xeon line

   I'm waiting for 64 core CPU. 32 is nice but still not enough.

    agent based modeling where the probability of the agents' actions is dependent on actual economic data... more realistic sim city (city skylines)

    um, my Nissan got a windshield crack, I went to the dealership to get it fixed and they said run away. We [Nissan] will charge you ~$1000 and it might take the whole day while if you go to safelite, they'll do it in 2 hrs and <$300.

    it'd be fun to drop this vector field on a graph (maybe a sphere's surface), interpolate between points, and then drop in particles and watch their streamlines.

    Doesn't it make sense then to send the power eastward while max generating it and then import power from the west later in the day when you need it? You could theoretically leverage the time differences and peak usage/generation.

    I would say 5TB is reasonable. If a 4K movie is 100GB. then over 30 days is 3TB of usage. If 1 person per day watches a 4k movie and the household of ~1-5 people does other things as well, 5TB should be sufficient. I think that is a stretch

    idk about Boston, but in Florida, I walked ~1km to elementary school, 15 minute bus to middle school (11-13 yrs old), and then had a 40 km drive/bus to high school. While if I had stayed and lived in michigan, I would have been 1km wal

    I can answer this! So my work computers are 28, 32, and 96 physical cores each. And honestly, none of those are enough. I'd ideally have a very high clock speed 128 core desktop with a 1,000-10,000 compute cluster available with 10 gb&

    This is how I feel about Manhattan/NYC. It should be limited to taxis/uber, buses, garbage, ambulances, and delivery trucks. There should be large garages/parking lots that are free/cheap just north of it in the bronx an

    I think a dyson sphere would be great more for helping us prevent global warming than generating cost efficient electricity. Opening and closing the dyson sphere to control radiation flux would be a cool thing. We'd have planetary AC

    I share the same reasoning and why I personally, question a person in a position of management. Being overweight, fine. But being obese is just a lack of will power. It is refreshing to see CEOs like Musk and Bezos work on their health as t

    I work in an office but have to deal with multiple time zones 5 hours ahead in UK and 3 hours behind in Cali. Basically, I work in the morning for UK and night for west coast and take a long afternoon lunch, nap and workout.
