I mean, we are hugely complicated gene-replication/improvement machines. So you have come to the ultimate conclusion without actually spelling it out. If you really go to the basics then ones life is about attracting the best other-sid

I would also guess bonding and then using that adds two conversions worth of losses to the equation and are not free.

Sure, same goes for hydrogen. I don't think there are any hydrogen deposits that can be readily used. But important distinction nonetheless.

You compared them to coal. You put out 100 Billion tons of waste number. Biggest share of that is from mining coal. So why are you attributing the coal mining waste to lithium then? If you actually look at the numbers the benefits of mining

I know you are a sarcastic troll. But still, that 5 billion tons of coal gets mined, transported and then burned to produce energy once. A kg of coal contains about 8kWh of energy which it can release once. This is the best kind of coal. Al

Most of the mining waste you refer to is related to COAL. They produce roughly 5 billion tons a year of coal for which many times of that is waste rocks. 5 billion tons of coal gets mostly burned up. Meanwhile 50 THOUSAND tons of lithium is

I hope to give a little context on this. I have been fairly active in trying to immerse myself in the CO2 problem of the planet and what I have seen is that there are companies-interest groups that are lobbying for some technology solutions

Umm you are not driving much? There's like 50 shades of 'pressure' in traffic, to name just a few: - staring angrily - shaking fist - various gestures involving middle finger - shouting - using the horn liberally - flashing h

If any is above limit all will get red light and presumably some peer pressure might apply for the offender.

What I find coolest are the speed enforcing traffic lights in lots of villages in Portugal. Your speed gets measured at the town limit and if you go above there is a traffic light in a few hundred meters guaranteed to go red. If you stay be

US is a funny place, you can't transfer from one international flight to another without entering the country. So flying from UK to Mexico with a stop in Miami will involve immigration and all the jazz in Miami (including the need for

How big is the 'trustless' part of the ecosystem? 5%? 1%? Most of the speculation happens on centralized exchanges which very much involves (completely unjustified) trust.

I'm sure their premise that academics study something in isolation and extrapolate possibilities from there is problematic. But the author also focuses on papers that study 100% renewables grid. I find it pretty annoying that people wa

Sure, but the "I don't want to get something" comes from: "my system works for me, I don't need a change, it's being imposed on me". Change that is evolutionary can be good, that little tweak that REMOVES

Dude(tte) is losing an argument so they turn to HN for more arguments by writing a trollish blog post. I find naming to be one of the most bikeshady of activities. Pick something and move along. The more you think/argue about them the

Have you handled any of the industrial tanks? They are absolutely massive. The tank that holds 13kg itself weighs about 30kg. So the amount of force to 'dent' that amount of steel would need to be ridiculous. The weakest part is (

Well the "trust me bro" marketers (and developers) have told them this is all good. Is it responsible, idk, probably not. Then again, the point the GP seems to make is that this kind of platform should not be adopted for anything
