Is there any reason to need a concrete sphere? Couldn't a robust, durable flexible bag do the trick? My hydroflask, when compressed, will push water out :)

In the US Nuclear gives about 19% of total generation and hydro another 6%. So you don't have to go beyond 75% renewables to start with. Long term, we need a combination of the following technologies to get to 100% carbon free electric

I can't give you a different economic system than global capitalism. But we know exactly what it will take to dramatically reduce emissions. Globally, people want electricity, power, cars, hot water ect. When we can provide those goo

The article is paywalled, but more generally, can someone defend EA to me? Does EA offer a specific idea that we should adopt in our thinking? When I think of other, recent intellectual movements, I can clearly state "why" I shoul

I saw one driving down El Camino (Palo Alto CA) and thought it looked great. Respectfully, what generation are you? (Approximately how old are you?) I ask as there are really big difference in how it appeals to different demographics. And a

It's completely evolutionary! To add context here. The B-21 is an manned version of a drone called a RQ-180, which is an extremely stealthy flying wing. Coupled to existing engines (widely believed to be F-35 engines possibly with an i

Nothing has helped my sleep more than using 3M medical tape to tape my mouth shut during sleep. So I'm forced to breath through my noise when I sleep. (Or I wake up and remove the tape if I'm stuffed up.) I had sleep issues all my

Great question. As an American, I find going to the gym/exercising alone boring. I try to get my exercise with a group of people friends. Often this isn't possible. But I've got several activities in my life that I do with a

Your goals are easy to achieve (independent of the state of tech) - they simply require us to make it fast, easy, and legal to build housing if you want to :)

The issues is car's can't drive in the mud. When it rains, in less than 10 feet, your cars tires will be 50 submerged. So you can't even make it 100 ft, much less to the paved road to Gerlach.

The article is really confusing, in that it first says these corporates have 'agreed to this valuation' (is leaking that even legal?). But then we learn the investment amounts, "Apple, Nvidia and the other strategic investors

Respectfully, and this is a very personal decision, I see it the opposite way that you do. Our ability to counteract, or reverse, climate change will be directly related to the vitality and economic power of future civilization. So if you h

Respectfully - all of these "issues" get solved when you go from ~1%->100% market share. 100x increases in manufacturing volumes will do amazing things for final cost. Expanded market share to 100% will lead to every features i

Respectively, plenty of companies can build a smartphone for far, FAR less than the sale price of an iPhone. E.g. a $50-$130 Samsung Galaxy A03. It's Apples install base, app ecosystem, and social moat (iMessage) allows continued high

10u152, I don't know where you live, but you seem to be quoting US solar prices. Tragically, US prices are 2x-3x that of Australian residential solar prices. Generally Australian prices are $10k-AUD for a 10kw array or roughly $6.6k US

You're correct about LTV, but over 2020-2021 many buildings sold at 'cap-rates' of 2%. (A Cap rate is the yield on the building and effectively an inverse P/E ratio.) However, cap rates are now moving towards 4.5%-5% as

But if we both want to consume electricity - than we do have to make a choice about that source of electricity. And the data constituently says nuclear is far safer than coal, even though coal is far more common. So it really is 'apple
