I think you're missing the point, it's an elaborate joke to draw attention to Iran's difficulties: > As a way to get around the imposed embargo, mining would have to be done secretly and undercover. Hence, a hybrid type is

It's a bit odd to me that you seem to deem fusion power realistic, while discounting other ways of generating and storing power that are basically available already. Power from renewables can be stored for the long term as hydrogen. Th

Part of the answer I think is that we often underestimate the level of sophistication of people who lived a very long time ago. Polynesians were expert navigators, they had a lot of knowledge of things like wind patterns, currents, birds, t

Ok, interesting. But there's a huge issue of selection bias here. We're interested in this virus precisely because it poses a threat to humans, so obviously it's adapted to humans. As a biologist, I therefore think this does

I'm flagging it because it's just presenting the view of some guy who asserts something. There's not enough information in there for a fact-based discussion. Since this topic is unfortunately a politically loaded one, that ba

What you're calling "energy intensity of production" doesn't look like a very important parameter. There's plenty of unused land that could host solar or wind installations and transporting electricity really is a s

Many of the things you're saying aren't correct, see my other comment (sibling to yours) for references. Nuclear is not cheap compared to photovoltaics, wind and hydro. Since the former two are bursty, overcapacity in them leads t

The article isn't about hydrogen cars and in fact points out that hydrogen cars have lots of problems.

I've been diving into this literature a bit recently, and it's been mostly encouraging. Affordable clean energy is realistic. Clean energy sources are typically the cheapest sources of energy [0]. The intermittent production issue

That kind of sounds to good to be true... This [0] seems to suggest that the low-beta anomaly is essentially an artifact of how risk is measured. Toughts? [0] https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2503174

Yes, it makes sense that it could be perceived that way. But that would not be entirely accurate, since it will get much cheaper to emit less CO2 once there is effective regulation in place. For example: If a really painful Carbon tax was i

I agree with what you're saying, I think people do have a moral obligation to try to be consistent in their beliefs and actions. But there's also a different way to view this: This is a textbook tragedy of the commons situation. B

Your argument is already assuming its conclusion, i.e. that all speech should be free. But then you also recognize that, no, actually, some kinds shouldn't be (i.e direct threats). The point is: that line you're drawing is a

Commenters here are noting many ways in which CS and biology are different, and how computer analogies can break down. I've got a PhD in biology, and have been into computers all my life. I write code as a biology researcher every day.
