Yes. I think the main limitation is not land use — rather: political will, energy storage, transport, manufacturing, and power leveling.

I love all these "You are also right" comments. One of the skills I hear about being prized in Chinese culture is the ability hold two conflicting ideas in your head at once, without feeling stressed about it. And that skill seems

Doing that is part of the problem, as pointed out in the article. We harvest from those forests currently — the problem is we harvest the big healthy trees because their wood is the most desirable. They're also the most resistant to bu

Did the fire gain intensity where there was a recent burn, or just happen to include that area? I'd like to know where the fire gained momentum, what areas were critical to it being a disaster rather than a nuisance.

Is the complaint, then, that China gets to profit from US-funded R&D? Because genuinely, the human race as a whole is benefiting from that R&D — and also from China's appropriation of it — by getting cheaply produced implementa

Yes, as long as the US tries to maintain its advantage over other countries, of course other countries will claw back their own disadvantage. In the meantime, we're gradually building up a world community so that there isn't a sen

Sorry, I meant once you've examined n trials, what is your 50% confidence interval about the odds for a single trial? I think it would be 1/n.

Read farther — that's quoting a 2016 report that is already proving obsolete. The article continues, contradicting that very report: > But demand for oil consumed for transportation is already waning in certain markets and segments.

If you're truly estimating, though, wouldn't you use a 50% confidence interval — which gives you the rule of 1 (chances of the thing being true are 1/n — if you've seen 20 pages without a typo, chances are 1/20 that

It would be much more difficult to displace Facebook than MySpace — it never reached 100 million unique users per month, but Facebook is over 2 billion.

Deforestation of existing land for agriculture, which leads to habitat loss and environmental degradation. I recommend a web search — there's lots of info out there.

Wow, it looks like — even proportionally — the most profitable companies have grown since 1955 (the earliest year I can find ranked lists for). * 1955: GM makes $800M profit [1]; GNP is about $3 trillion [2] — GM's profit is 1/3

Yes, TouchID is a keeper! Any chance Apple will back out on the touch bar for MBP's — "We've learned from that experience."? I have one and am not thrilled with the touch bar, but I really prefer fingerprint unlocking

It's not the ambulance that's expensive — it's staffing it with both an EMT and driver, even when it's not in use. And in the wealthiest country in human history, that staffing cost is also the highest in human history.

The cost isn't so much the vehicle as staffing and maintaining it — ambulances, in order to be effective, have to have both an EMT and a driver on the clock.

But how much of that difference is nature vs nurture, and how much variation is there? The more egalitarian society becomes, the easier it is to see what is intrinsic and what is imposed. We still have some progress to make before we'l

Rather, I'd say it reinterprets "run the program" to be "have access to the program over the web". In other words, if I use your website, I should also be able to stand up my own version that uses my own data.
