Wouldn't it be awesome if there was a giant free fussion reactor! Close enough to get the energy, but far enough away to allow isolation of the reaction. Maybe the energy could just beam down on us from space? That'd be awesome...

Nice effort at defending life in make believe! But it just doesn't hold water. Referring to my original post: --- The real failure of those lost in make believe is that actual reality is about a billion times more engaging and offers a

WTF?! Seriously... It doesn't sound like the individual writing this article has actually grown at all. Why are the millennial generations so lost in make believe? The reason the "majic" went away, is because it never existed

Goggle stock is rising, executive pay is some of the highest in the world. What is the "deterioration" of which you speak? Search results, either reading them, or getting listed in them, is a user experience. Why should goggle, or

I was surprised the first time I saw reference to this in the HN feed, but even more surprised at how many times it's been reposted. Is this weird to people? In general I've learned to not pay attention to anything in the NYT when

That's all just good money after bad. How many more trillion $$$ are going to be pissed away on this? I'd say, shelve the idea for 50 to 75 years and then look at it again. In the mean time, I think we could make major headway on

While I think the motivation described in the article is stupid, some EVs would benefit from at least one additional gear ratio. I own a 2023 Nissan Leaf, the max RPM of the motor, and the gearing chosen by the manufacturer limit the top sp

What the author is describing is basically the difference between "free software" and "open source". While they may have the same license, the motivation of each is almost an exact opposite of the other. One aspires to m
