Most sea going sailboats, and many others, are perfectly capable of sailing around the world, without any fuel. Solar panels are only needed to charge batteries, that are only needed if you want the extras: GPS, radio, other communications.

That and free education and dare we mention the topic - free health care. Then we don't need UBI.

I like your idea. The only reason all those accessories are mandated, is because the car industry made it so, thus increasing the value (profit) of a standard car. We could just as easily 'mandate', a different class of vehicle. C

Looking at the images from article It's obvious. They put the led's, into the lenses, on the wrong side. Someone had a great idea, with the arrows. But by the time it got into production, the insides were reversed. Maybe a drawing

Has anyone tried playing an old cassette tape, from a commodore for example, on a tape player, audio output to computer. Then transcribing? It would be cool to see how good or relevant some of our old programs might be. I have a mining prog

Article states found at 12000'. I wonder how much lower the mountains were, 100k years ago? They are for sure not static. Bet some geologist somewhere should be able to give us a yearly estimate. Interesting.

Google. That's an interesting summary, missing a lot of good writing and references. Also could explain this latest fly over from a cynical point of view.

Interesting article. Very long. But revealing. And disappointing. (Truth usually is.) Then the issue arises, who is worth supporting, that will truly defend our digital privacy?

Yes. I agree. It seems to be getting harder to set up hibernate as an option. Regular (non HN) users might not even figure out that hibernate is a possibility. But it definitely is a better option than sleep.

Cool. You get to see the image and even save it, before the pay wall appears. And an image is truly worth a 1000 words.

Although it's nice to be be able to read the article. Maybe one could quote a few highlights, as a usable alternative to archive link etc.

Thanks for that. It shows how a simple passionate speech, can bring about positive change. I also grew up without Mr. Rogers, but your link led me down a rabbit hole, and I recommend this speech, when he was older, especially the last half,

The concept reminds me of the great book by Andy Weir, Artemis. (He of; The Martian, fame.) Audiobook is very good too.

Not in a hundred years. Now. Today. Yesterday. We people, are appalled. Yet we still see the creep of ever surveillance. No privacy = no freedom.

This is cool. Like those huge chemistry reference books that we had on our desks, that weighed about 20lbs! Just more portable.

But if you raise property taxes, then the rental rates must go up, to pay for those taxes. That's one of the problems in many North American cities, where yearly rising local city taxes can make housing unaffordable.

Ah. That Lotus Europa. Metallic blue. There has been one in our family tool box since the 70's. Kids ask me why that's there, in between the screwdrivers and sockets, and wire and pliers. "In case of emergencies..."

Maybe you know Dan Carlin? His Hardcore History podcasts are amazing. History how it should be. In this case try the King of King, series. Although almost all of his podcasts are spellbinding and thoughtful. For all ages too. Excellent for

PS. I added Marginalia as a search option (even the default for now) in Firefox Nightly (on Android). In case others want to, under settings for search, you can add other, then name, and then: https://search.marginalia.nu/se

Congratulations. Truly impressive search results. I tried two, one word searches. The results were interesting, useful, and would have been impossible (well, really really hard) to find, on standard search engines. Plus, no garbage, ads, re

Isn't this how the War of the Worlds, started. A few observations of bright flashes on another planet. Humans then trying to understand and speculating the meaning? Launch flash? Or impact flash? Maybe Wells just got his planets wrong

Wonderful that you use the time sheet still. Something about their software design was so simple and efficient I use the contacts software daily. It's Installed on Windows7 and 10, and Mac, and Unix. It is still the best most logical.
