I think the industry target right now is around 10~15 years 80% capacity. So yeah not bad for an emerging tech.

I'm not a welding engineer. I imagine half of it is checking the welds are to code and certifying it.

No not really. It's more for electrical or computer engineers. However there's nothing wrong with gaining more knowledge for the sake of it and it can be just nice knowing a bit about how your machine actually works. Of course, ma

I am all ears for suggestions on how to actually do that then. What will the regulations be? How do you get the government to want to implement such policies? How do you enforce them? How do you get around corporate lobbying against changes

First, I appreciate the paranoia and privacy concerns. Second, I doubt these will be flooding the streets any time soon., but yes eventually when the cost is lower and technology is more matured. Third, we're already being filmed by co

You're making good points. My reflective thoughts are first if you make a solid piece of software Apple should be hiring you to integrate your product into their main software stack. Secondly, particularly to your last point, I think t

Well that's their business plan isn't it? Apple makes a device and sells that. AND having more consumers means more available people for the developers to sell their product to. Can't all be like Balmer "DEVELOPERS DEVEL

For general physics I'd recommend Feynman's Lectures, which with your background may be too basic, I don't know. Engineering wise I'd recommend Horowitz' Art of Electronics. Aside from that there's so many reso

Does it actively discriminate or is that just a talking point that is repeated? Presumably what we want to say is if we have 100 children with similar economic and educational backgrounds and experiences and 70 are of type A, 25 type B, and

I think that's a rather limited experiential take. Rather depends on the neighborhood where you may see kids outside playing freely or not. Regardless: https://www.npr.org/2021/08/30/1032489883/china

Yup. There's certainly a feedback loop. Just stating things that make these larger vehicles more easier to drive, especially for women whom on average are generally shorter so, even with pumping the seat up it's still considerably

TBF Trucks and SUVs are relatively easier to drive in certain regards. Such as being able to see over parked traffic when making a turn. And I've found driving taller vehicles more comfortable for my back coincidentally.

How is the free market supposed to create an abundance of housing? You need some sort of scarcity to increase profits. Building plenty of affordable housing works against that.

Fair enough. Near future, I agree it's hard to imagine available resources for this outpacing available resources for fusion. Though fusion does have some more difficult technical engineering issues than SBS. By that I mean, as far I k

The applications for this are well beyond Earth. Additionally there was a lot more useful testing of various related aspects in this beyond just beaming power to Earth per the article.

Justifiable isn't what's being debated here though. That's a moral judgement and subjective to each individual. You said "Israel started the 6-day war in 1967 that led to the present occupation." Which I said was in
