Any permanent habitation should include a smelter to alleviate some of the cost of shipping metals from Earth. From it oxygen or CO2 will be "waste" byproducts, liquefacting and storing them should not be a problem. I can imagine

Right, everything except solar panels should be underground, not only because of temperatures but to keep the regolith away too.

I suspect this will in the end be solved in utmost unsexy, boring and reliable way by solar plus huge NiFe battery and/or hundreds of kilometers of high voltage grid, manufactured by robots from local resources or asteroid mining. Or s

I saw meteorologists publicly shame rogue APs by name. This implies they do have means (directional antenna) to probe the source of interference and get information such as AP name, MAC address and distance. https://www.shmu.sk&#

I think he meant _useful_ energy. Is it so surprising that HN is primarily interested about civilian applications and cynical when none are in foreseeable future?

If humans end up getting expelled from virtual reality back into physical one not forcibly, but by lack of meaningful virtual pursuits... is that really a grim future?

Since we're talking in present tense that's the remaining 1%. Moon base can be fine with power beamed from a satellite or plain mirrors in orbit, no atmosphere in the way. Might end up being still cheaper than hauling nuclear reac

There's a reason for optimism as for the lasers' efficiency. But there are many other aspects that were only approached theoretically so far, such as how to get useful energy out of the reactor.

Can't check code by just running it, either. The problem with text is deeper. Checking the source of information is only a part of the problem, that human speech or prose itself is barely adequate for the information overload we find n

Anything that can be legally connected to grid has to be certified to stop supply back to grid in case of blackout. Is there any region where this isn't the case? I doubt it.

Sure, lets make hydrogen with solar. Now we have ultraflammable gas prone to leaking that requires high pressures and/or extremely low temperatures to have some energy density. Where's the infra for that? Have you ever considered

The question is, who is going to pay for critical business reporting? The readers - wannabe CEOs - won't, and the businesses in question won't buy advertising either.
