   Seems like marketing hype to me. An 8-hour transatlantic flight requires something like 600MWhr of energy. That's about 75MW, which is in small nuclear reactor territory.

   That would be pretty neat. I bet the author takes feature requests.

   I don't Minecraft but I do have kids. Can you unpack some of those terms? What is Java Minecraft vs "regular" Minecraft? What is "modded technical Minecraft"?

   I'm continually surprised the boards and/or the shareholders of his public companies have not sought to rein Elon in. Even if we accept the commonly-quoted meme that his IQ is in the 150+ range (which I strongly doubt), a person s

    G+ had a good idea at its core, though. Facebook lost its appeal for 24-year-old me as soon as all my random aunts and uncles were on there posting boomer memes and commenting on photos of me at a kegger, or whatever dumb stuff I was getti
