If there were visible well known characters that could be printed for those and keys on a keyboard for inputting them we would probably have RSV files. Because they are buried down in the nonprintable section of the ASCII chart they are a

I have not verified this, but reporting suggests they had targeting data down to the names of individuals in Yemen, as well as flight times and originating sources for the airstrikes, which if leaked would be very valuable to whatever air d

That's within the range of a kitchen oven. The biggest problem is that plastic is so cheap that even that relatively modest energy use may make it uneconomic compared to virgin TPA, especially if you have to clean the inputs thoroughl

In LA sure, you can get away with minimal insulation. SF is a different story. That city is shockingly cold. An uninsulated house in SF is wasting loads of energy.

“Show me the incentive, and I'll show you the outcome.” -- Charlie Munger In other words, if you want to solve a problem you need to align the incentives. If you don't your solution is likely to fail, especially on larger scales.

Both sides grossly overbuilt their nuclear missile capabilities. The maintenance costs forced them into partial disarmament treaties in the 80s and 90s.

People have been looking everywhere for a better solution than Dark Matter and especially Dark Energy for decades now without success. They may hate the theories, for good reason, but nothing better has materialized yet. Modified gravity

Depends how much need there is for long term energy storage. Off grid users have this problem currently when building solar+battery systems. They can pretty reasonably afford to install enough battery to cover a couple of cloudy days in wi

While true I suspect that the future of energy storage is overwhelmingly dominated by large scale battery storage. A lot of the alternatives fall in the "cute, but complicated, situational, and/or doesn't scale" categor

This was my problem too. I really wanted to like the series and the visuals were nice, but the Netflix writers room strikes again. The whole thing felt like the middle season episodes from a Netflix Marvel series.

Seems like a bad idea. Not only is it incredibly expensive to get there, but tremendously inconvenient when you need to restore from that backup. Also, lots of high energy interstellar particles bombarding your media. You'd be bette

A typical diesel or natural gas city bus has a curb weight between 20,000 and 33,000 lbs[1]. An electric bus I found lists a curb weight of 28,000 lbs[2]. It doesn't seem like extra road wear is going to be a major issue. [1] https:

The second point is the really important one here. Mistakes happen, having a factory reset that actually works is crucial to avoiding extremely expensive recalls. I'm reminded of the time a random NPR station accidentally bricked the
