It's sweet that helicopters have ADS-B Out now in the US, I don't think they do yet in Europe. I would be very curious to check out the helicopters that fly to and from a nearby heliport.

Unless they also build a worldwide banking infrastructure, like the US has in the current inter-bank transfer infra (all centralized through NYC), the availability of a post-dollar currency is not enough. There are already a bunch. There&#x

This is already a big theme in Brazil. When you have an air conditioning malfunction, there's no one to fix it. An underground system of guerilla technicians develops, outside the bounds of the law, because they're not supposed to

The other answer has covered resurgence from natural reservoirs. I'll cover man-made resurgence. There are copies of it in all major countries' virology labs. Furthermore, it can be synthetised from scratch since 2002, see NYT. NY

Wow, that effect size. I'm amazed that the implications haven't been pursued vigorously, as it's so rare to get such an effect size in a clean, non-controversial (compromised methodology) experiment. As far as I can see, ther

The high hourly pay of a software engineer is not significant when that high cost is spread over hundreds of thousands of units sold. A corrolary of this is that when it is not spread over a high number of units, in a niche product, it will

Yes, you can precalc, and then you need very precise actuators to move the mirror to that precalced position. You also need precise surveying of the ground site to know its geometry. The precise actuators and surverying are expensive. Their

There's no known way to sell (or buy) GHG offsets at scale. Current GHG offsets are all artisanal efforts that don't scale. Scale would be something like the Sleipnir field Carbon Capture and Sequestration, times 40000. That'
