Society evolved to the point that if you want to get to work in the US you need a car. There are a lot of places where you need a car to get to. In many places in Europe you can get to work or holiday destinations by public transport. In Sw

Well it would be nice if they could stop lobbying against emission standards and stop campaigning to undermine climate change and environmental activism.

This is the kind of comment that make me really hope that we can kill energy intensive coins before that happens. I mean if we 10x the waste heat that could be produced by asics solely for the purpose of mining coins, it could be enough

I love blimps and dirigibles, but I have always wondered about their practicality, particularly in inclement weather. like, when it rain, they get heavier, For rural or sub-urban logistics I can see how it could work, if you have large enou

Maybe they can use metallic foam to increase the surface area of the catalyst and increase the flow rate without scaling the noble metal usage at the same rate as the flow!

The Netherlands beg to differ, 17% of it is reclaimed/created land and more than half is on life support thanks to dikes, dunes and pumps. Singapore's Marina Bay area is reclaimed land. There's an airport in Japan that's

"How do bubbles burst?" Real estate prices are sky high, but what can bring them down? The taxes on corporations and the rich is sufficiently low that they can't spend all their money, and what is most safe for pension funds

Order minimum $50, order maximum 3 parts. There is not much margin for profit in there. 1 order inventory catalogue 20 years of date + X pages of "updates". This person doesn't suffer fools and I would venture it's more

Solar plant size vs production in Germany is not really a good indicator of the optimal areal efficiency of solar panels. Maybe looking at closer to the equator locations would be more fair to the technology. And putting wind turbines in th

Well, the efficiency warranty is usually at least 80% until 25 years, so 10 years seems a bit short. If there are enough of them, recycling can be made efficient, and disposing of them would in any case be easier than for the spent yet radi

If you don't have to make it as fast as possible in a pay per time used way, maybe the dumb solution can be cost effective.

Here is a negative two cents idea: Attach a dumb auger drive "robot" to the end of tether adjustable from the top, with an umbilical to solar panels, maybe a lidar or sonar to see the shape of the field, make it go in spiral back

How do you figure that one? Any company sell a lot of cars, would it really be thousands more ? How big would the dev & Q/A team need to be for this to accumulate to thousands more?

OP's solution to cultural bias is to ignore it and just go with convenience. Well, you have to start somewhere. But I agree that the only thing it's likely to do is annoy the heck out of everybody. I think they said French because

Everybody uses Javascript, why use another programming language? English is newspeak. They should just replace English as one of the three working language of the EU with esperanto / ido / interlingua or another conlang.

You can add o-ring on the stem to soften the bottoming out (varying stiffness), or you can go for super-light springs so there is minimal strength required for pressing. Or I've seen people adding neoprene foam to the plate for a softe

I've been looking into 12 / 18 / 24 month calls for Tesla, AMD, NVDA, AAPL and there is nothing cheap available anymore, even the really OTM stuff. There was some stories about 12 / 24 month sub dollar OTM Tesla calls th

I think the point of these super wide and straight underutilized roads is to be usable as landing strips. I think the swiss have some highway stretches like that too, but not in the middle of the capital. The city itself is pretty sparse.

Shouldn't they have an arbitration clause in there somewhere? Maybe that would open them to a Thousand Papercut bleeding when everyone activate the arbitration clause at once.

yeah, but how will the stock be covered, and by whom? If there is no enough stock to buy to cover the outstanding contracts?

I mean it's just a small forum, can they really have the same amount of influence on the market than a hedge fund or a market maker? What does the SEC care about a bunch of trolls on the internet?
