We are still at the if-it-is-real stage. I would not take any wagers that the generation one release is indicative of an industrialized product performance.

Fun thought experiment, but I would probably go with something like the Haber Process to create ammonia. Enormous industrial applications which led to a boon in fertilizer development and feeding of humanity.

Nice to be modest after building off of Rosalind Franklin's unaccredited work.

I have repeatedly read that Japan has poor quality iron, but what exactly does that mean? Iron is an element, so all of the reserves were in an unfortunate oxide requiring sophisticated refining? Just low total abundance?

What about all of those open pit mines? Surely some of them have access to a lower elevation location where the water could be piped. Or, two adjacent pit mines.

Texas just nullified a law which required 10 minute breaks for construction workers every 4 hours[0]. I do not even do back breaking labor in the sun and I take significantly more breaks throughout the day. [0] https://www.thegua

It was correctly written to the invariant promises of the platform at the time. If Python is altering the deal, that does not suddenly make the library writer at fault.

Still not encouraged by the no-GIL, "We don't want another Python 2->3 situation", yet very little proffered on how to avoid that scenario. More documentation on writing thread-safe code, suggested tooling to lint for race

Outside of any concerns about the dangers of relying upon a monocrop, what is the most efficient available mechanism capable of feeding humanity using ~today's technology? Soylent green and other options on the table. Science fiction w

I was considering that, but web crawling via shell definitely crosses the line of things I would not want to attempt. Although, I guess you could outsource that complexity with `wget --mirror`, bringing you right back to file-crawling.

I am trying to be charitable to the Java implementation, but I am struggling to understand the complexity there. Java can iterate over files, it can iterate over strings, the rules to permissively identify phone numbers are not great, but b

It could even be 2-3 generations behind and that thing would still sell.

Just as a point of reference, aspartame is considered to be 150-200x sweeter than sugar. 355ml Coke Cola has 39grams of sugar 355ml Diet Coke has 0.2grams of aspartame If the new compound was a 1-to-1 replacement, a putative Sweelin Coke wo

That's what the rich, landed people did to keep themselves occupied. Imagine how much worse life was if you did not have such idleness to create intricate rules around honor.

Huh, well good to know. Though not before his life was upturned and he did spend two weekends in jail.

I am not sure what is your point. Do not ever construct critical infrastructure because it might be targeted in war? You say window turbine, but that could just as easily be a coal plant, hospital, car factory, legislative building, etc.

How technically challenging is building(?) printing(?) these pieces? Presumably they need to withstand enormous amounts of strain. Can you produce an impromptu factory anywhere, or does this require sophisticated equipment that benefits fro

If you drive through Iowa, it seems like you will see nothing but windmills. Just an enormous amount of installed capacity.

I am unsure what you want. To make the source available for group X, but denied to group Y? - X presumably being someone without any potential profitability path - Y someone who can make money from it? I can get the rationale of not wanting

Nobody put a gun to their head and made them share their work. If they get indignant that people profited off of their backs then maybe sharing of the work was the wrong approach. If they wanted to profit from their ideas, they could have s
