Not OP but I have a TypeMatrix that I really like.

Yes. Tesla/SolarCity are doing exactly that - they're about 400,000 roofs in, so far.

a) I'm pretty sure you just made those numbers up b) Yes, Nuclear power is heavily regulated and this affects the cost. But that is the world we live in - and the world we build generating capacity in, so deal with it.

Right, but onshore wind is massively cheaper. Also, renewables can be built out incrementally and start generating very quickly, so your ROI starts almost immediately. With nuclear you're looking at a ~10 billion upfront investment, th

There is a lot of macroscale dumping of garbage - and the plastic stuff just accumulates over a time, until sunlight and wave action break it down. However, a lot of this plastic _starts_ as micro-plastic particles: microbeads from cos

Musk's comment were intended to demonstrate that powering the US on solar is practical - you don't need to cover the whole country in panels, you actually only need 10 square miles. You wouldn't actually put all these panels

I've used it for really simple templating stuff with Dockerfiles - which it works fine for.

Been using this for a while in it's various incarnations - this one is definitely the best so far. Very useful tool for UI prototyping.

I would buy a linux version of this.

Yes - that's 12km of the coast of Suffolk - down south, almost in the channel. Much warmer and calmer, relatively. Also, no one lives on it anymore, afik.

I don't think that the cold, grim, gray & very rough North Sea would be anyone's first choice to start a Seasteading habitat.

Union mounts only went into the linux kernel 3 years ago (2014) - and have lots of limitations. It's also not really a central concept. plan9 doesn't have a $PATH env var, for example - you just union mount all your binaries into

It's a truly distributed operating system and it's unix taken to it's logical conclusion. Everything is a file and everything is network transparent, thanks to 9P. The first wikipedia article is very worthwhile reading - this

This is all covered in _great_ detail in "The Defence of the Realm: The Authorized History of MI5", by Christopher Anderw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Defence_of_the_Realm - this article is a nice summa

I think the answers to those are probably: No one really knows, and No, not yet - although they do now (optionally) ask for your facebook/twitter usernames when applying for an ETSA.

Because they don't want to get detained, be denied entry, have to travel home at their own expense, and be refused/blacklisted entry in the future, probably? If you're not a US citizen, there's no plausible deniability,

As I understand it, they generally don't just aimlessly scroll through your email/facebook in front of you, then give your device back (although they can, if they feel like it) - they get you to surrender your credentials, then sa

Hmm, thanks - that's much higher than I thought. Still, leaves 50% hunted though, which is very high. If 50% of the animal protein that we eat was hunted instead of farmed, we'd eat the last elephant, tiger, chimp, giraffe, etc..

The problem is that mostly we don't farm ocean life - we just hunt it, on an industrial scale.

Double ironic that some of these disused railway lines - with fantastic rights of way directly from town centre to town centre - have been turned into cycle tracks.

The Nexus 5 is very user serviceable - all the parts a labelled, most things just clip on/off. Replacing the power switch is a 10 minute job, and costs ~$5.

As you sort of imply in your second footnote, "has enough details to make the experiment in another laboratory" often _isn't_ a requirement to pass peer review, sadly.
