Possibly. If you find a solution, please forward it to me and I will share it with the nautical community.

Right. I was wondering why they are doing are chemical reactions on what should be a milling/grinding curve. They are really pushing the stereotype that software engineers think they are smarter at physical sciences but are actually pr

How long does a snowflake machine take to spin up? Why have an idle time at all? I have never used snowflake so I'm not sure how this works.

Some of it is fair. The author does seem a bit egotistical at times. They begin from a premise that "Everyone else is incompetent and I am the savior". There is a high likelihood that many other people in the org were lightyears a

This is incorrect. I have seen Madrid and Barcelona. Nobody is living off the land in those cities. They are fed by massive agricultural complexes and include alot of imports. Both those cities are way too dense for the population to feed t

I am talking about the actual milling of the olivine. Chemistry has nothing to do with it. There will be specific curves for the ore they are grinding. They will look something like this. https://www.researchgate.net/publica

The aluminum smelter in iceland is a former ALCOA smelter from Rockdale TX. They ship the ore in from outside. Let's not pretend mining bauxite ore is 100% renewable.

The reason I "suspect" is because I've seen so many papers and sources that do not include the total cost. Or they choose a very particular process that reduces their carbon output. This is true especially of minerals that ha

The cost of the false positives are much higher than the false negatives. Temporarily slowing down down 99 scammers is not worth stranding one normal person in a foreign country with no means to access their money and no means to recover th

Possibly. I am not familiar with the sort of basalt they are using here. It may very well make sense under those conditions.

Let's not forget the massive CO2 generated by mining, processing, and transporting crushed rock. I used to work on SAG (semiautonomous grind) mills for fine grind on copper-bearing ore. Grinding rock is incredibly energy inefficient. I

The problem is that people cannot afford to live in city centers. Especially those with families. You would think corporations would finally place their offices in more liveable areas but for some reason they feel the need to build in city

You missed the rent moratorium. My cousin got to live rent free for 18 months.

Backbone traffic will never occur over starlink. The bandwidth is tiny. The latency is high. Starlink barely works when you are on a moving boat or away from the coast. Believe me, I've tried.
