But in that case you just have a really inefficient database, and the entire point of the Rube Goldberg apparatus is gone. You don't need to solve the Byzantine Generals problem with a trustless system when you are trusting someone.

I think it looks good, and seems fairly modern. The settings app would probably work well on touchscreen, but I'm sure many apps wouldn't. Definitely still in alpha. I like the idea that it will be a bit more secure, automatically

It is a fair point, and you can, in fact, buy lithium-ion 12V batteries. The economics, safety, and performance characteristics are the answer. But, those lead batteries are sealed and recycled, and don't usually contribute to environm

Also, this is surprising because this was presented and led by Anders Hejlsberg, who is the creator of both C# and Typescript. If anyone should have picked C# it would be him.

I have been having good experiences with Windows on ARM. Better performance, lower power, thinner, and cheaper at the same time.

The currency stuff is a bit of a distraction. The real meat of the economic reform has been in terms of fiscal and regulatory policy. If there are no pegs, then production drives the value of currency. Getting production up is important. Cu

Looks like another intermediate option is bio-methanol. But, both options are very rare, with diesel being the overwhelming majority of international shipping. Shifting to either would be a very significant improvement over the status quo.

It may be an immediate option for places that have a very strong desire to reduce carbon emissions, but for profit-driven entities the push towards natural gas ends up as both more economical and more ecological. https://www.lngi

Energy density of batteries is much lower than that of fossil fuels. Which means that the weight of the ships would increase. In addition to the high price of the batteries, potential risks of electrocution, etc. There are intermediate opti

Factory robots that move in general are kind of gimmicks, except for those roomba things for Amazon warehouses. An assembly line with robotic arms has been standard for a long time now. And having many such arms working at the same time is

Sad to see an article titled "From Poverty to Progress" that doesn't even reference the classic American economic masterpiece "Progress and Poverty" by Henry George. It is near-impossible to be a "techno-optimi

Are these kind of tandem thermal-photovoltaic panels common? Where are they used? I'm sure this would be great for a space colony, but is it practical and affordable for normal commercial use?

I like the powerful ARM chip, I like that the specs go very high, and that the RAM speed is maxxed out. I like that it uses 120HZ and Gorilla Glass 5 for the screen. I like that it offers the latest Wifi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 On the downside,

I don't know enough to say which immutable debian spin would be best. For immutable in general, Fedora is probably the most refined. Their GNOME spin is the most well-known and is called Fedora Silverblue. But they also offer KDE, Sway

I would recommend an immutable OS because transactional updates and rollbacks is a great feature, and the added security is a nice bonus. Some of them are debian-based. You can still get the cosmic desktop of Pop OS in another distro if you

For an enormous project like this, it is probably more reasonable to just use the latest version of C, and turn on lots of linters and sanitizers. You could also use one of the various strict subsets of C that is oriented for safety. Might
