These guys have been on a major PR push for a little while. The business model and technology sound fantastic, and the potential applications really are numerous. I find the notion that ‘anything’ can be commercially produced by synbio dubi

I interned for a landfill gas capture company a long time ago. Apparently it’s quite tough to make payback on the investment. If value is applied to the degradation and GHG abatement, some groups might find it worthwhile.

It seems like the author is mostly talking about social security, rather than life itself. He also seems to be taking the stance of rerouting funding from other govt health spending such as disease research to social security. While I don’t

Tons of nutrient runoff into the coastline means certain beings will thrive: algae, jellyfish, and apparently urchins. We’re lucky the other substances in runoff aren’t doing even more damage. The question I’d like to know is: why is uni st

Former Norway resident here, 3yrs. Their lunch traditions are definitely basic, as they were not a wealthy country for hundreds of years before striking oil in the 60s. The point to remember is that while the fare is basic, the quality is t

I was referring to their messages to the public about how to react to advances in AI. Your interpretations are about AI’s impact on society. I don’t disagree with your interpretations, but it definitely doesn’t make mine wrong. They’re diff

The Ma/Musk AI debate in China showed two very different societal approaches to how to handle the impact of AI. Ma’s approach is: everybody work less and enjoy the perks. Musk’s is: learn AI or perish, and beware the consequences. The

Only tangentially related: has anyone else been getting tons of WSJ sponsored articles on Facebook about how ramen can stave off depression? FB targeting algorithm is only accurate if they think I like ramen :)

We looked at GHGSat back in 2016, really interesting tech and solid approach, with more limitations than expected (only land-based sites can be measured). They ultimate got investment from a collaborative vehicle. I believe they deserve to

While I don’t disagree with the sentiment of the report, I do question its credibility. They don’t cite their sources, but do make bold claims with broad statistics and buzz words. Looking into the authors, they don’t lack credentials, but

Agreed. A balanced and sober study would include the tax benefit from energy companies to Canadians as well as employee income.

I think that kind of reasoning is akin to saying we should eat pesticides because there aren’t beneficial pests in our bodies.. I did take an antifungal while sick, two actually. The first one made me break out in hives and the second one w

Agreed. Steampunk didn’t die, it’s just evolved into the Burning Man aesthetic.

The guy built a brand around a growing lifestyle and changed the way products are communicated. His impact on packaging is present all over the place if you look. He’s just looking for his next calling. I thought it was interesting read, b

Finally, an expert! I’m not, although I’ve been involved in energy for a while now. I believe the Germans made synfuels towards the end of WWII using Fischer Tropsch when they were running low on conventional fuels. What tech is new about t

UT Austin, Notre Dame, and U of Chicago, while not all public, are fantastic universities in the deep interior of the country. It’s a great point, although I think it’s already been done. There’s a lot of attention on Harvard in particular

Shipping is a very conservative industry and hesitant to new things. Time to investment payback was longer than many companies were willing to stomach, which was shortened thanks to Norway subsidies. That said, they’re growing quickly, have

Shipping is a pretty dirty industry, because of fuel quality they use and the general lack of oversight in the middle of the ocean. I was on the board of Corvus Energy ( http://corvusenergy.com ) while working in Norway, whose tec

Southern California too. I wouldn't worry too much about it medium/long term. The conditions in Inner Mongolia make for cheap prices because they come from loose clay.

One possibility is that the disease is carried by humans and affects dogs more heavily. When I lived in Norway mild flu symptoms would spread through society and quickly, especially when the weather would start to turn cold and dark.

The other options besides increasing price would be: - lottery (example: powerball) - waiting list (case: Alcatraz, Coachella) - application based on xx criteria (case: Antarctica?) or... a combination of the five (price being #5). In most

I think the answer is clear, if not a bit brutal: raise prices for tourists. Tourism is a luxury, not a right, and if there is a perceived negative externality to Norway from overtourism, it should be mitigated in the market. There will be

I think it's entirely possible that he's just selling high after a few decades of hard work. Ousting to me doesn't mean getting thrown out of the building with your things in a box, it can happen peacefully and gradually. Ja

At first I thought this was pretty garbage content for HN. Then I realized how many people on here aren’t native English speakers, and might need years of socialization to understand these nuances. Bravo

He was almost certainly ousted. Look for Ant Financial to grow in even closer connection with CCP interests. My guess is that Alipay will be used as a means to strengthen international dependence on the RMB. The trail of acquisitions sugge
