I sure hope robotaxis speed somewhat. Most humans do and they should go with the flow of traffic.

In the west water systems are pressurized using a large reservoir and gravity. I imagine its similar in third world countries? They have unreliable water due to the reasons they have unreliable power: poor ability to plan, not enough supply

In the eastern US much of the fracking done is to extract natural gas. Not a waste product there.

Go one step further and ban mechanized transport all together. Streets will have very little congestion. We can just go back to footpaths.

"The consolidation appears to be driven in part by President Donald Trump’s proposal to cut the agency’s $4 billion budget by 55% for the 2026 fiscal year that begins on 1 October." This statement is wrong. What a sad state of aff

My standard is that software should appear to work instantly to me, a human. Then it is fast enough. No pressing a button and waiting. That would be great.

For lots of companies (most?), web browsing is critical to them. Amazon could fund browser companies. Brave exists. Is Opera still around?

Do you spend extra for albacore? That usually has higher levels of mercury than regular canned tuna (skipjack).

Tesla FSD is already very good. Maybe a good thing the Boomer generation can do is to help make automatic cars legal.

Liquid water below the surface is the newer interesting part. You can see Mars ice caps with a telescope from Earth.

The resources for subsidies come from the taxpayer. Plus how you and who you subsidize becomes political. Lots of complications.

Darwin saw sexual selection as so important to evolution and that he discusses natural selection and sexual selection as different types. Of course sex is part of nature.

One bright spot is that I find it much easier to avoid ads in my media than in say the 1990's. There is usually a higher paid tier with no ads. Youtube, X, HBO, etc and ad blockers on the web. I'm off of Google search with Kagi. I

In rural Colorado there is a law that makes subdividing lots under 35 acres very difficult. There are lots of areas in the mountains that have expensive housing. You are allowed to build one 15,000 sqft house but not ten 1,500 sqft houses o

There is a reason 80%(?) of the world almond crop is grown in California. It has a great climate for almonds, a lot of land, and water to support the trees. We need to trade something for our IPhones besides the promise of future dollars (d

The battery storage part of the company is growing quickly with a new factory in China just coming online. That part of Tesla is growing faster than cars and Elon says it could be a bigger business in the long term.

Falcon 9 proved the concept of reusability. Almost everyone does not understand what Starship will do for space travel. Like Musk says, imagine air travel where you throw away the plane after each flight. That is where space travel was at.

It doesn't make sense to send humans except many humans want to go. Those humans are working on the project to go to Mars, not send robots to Mars. We can do both of course. I would like people to start a civilization on Mars. I would

Blue origin is doing pretty well. Got partly reusable rocket to orbit recently. NASA has no reusable rocket in development. This is fine, as the private market is doing it, but SLS needs to be retired soon. Maybe after the manned moon landi

Have you tried the latest version of FSD. I recently got a Tesla with it and it is about at the level of someone who has been driving for a few months. Has made one or two non-accident mistakes over the last few months but nothing serious.

It might be good if the author list had a fraction attached to each author for their contribution share. It could be painful to negotiate this but would help with citation inflation.

How do the wealthy "hoard" money today? It is not like they store piles of copper or warehouses of grain. Maybe having multiple homes they rarely use is a form of hoarding but most wealth is invested in stocks, bonds, and other th

Being married should mean you get to use her strength and her family's strength. Two working together. Otherwise, yeah, not worth it.

Cockpit doors and the fact that just letting hijackers do what they want is no longer acceptable to Americans. We solved the hijacking problem about 60 minutes after the first plane hit the twin towers. Flight 93 is proof of that.

Dude. 100 Helicopter parking spots. Just thinking of a future where 100 people owned them and flew right to their high rise apartment parking space. Pretty sweet but I would not like all that noise.

Put this tower in the middle of central park and it would probably have the most expensive apartments on Earth.
