This is the comment I was looking for. I agree, most useless key in the whole bunch and you can't change it... Then again, sometimes it does take special software to support caps lock remapping.

I really love this stuff, this is a little more out there. (interstellar travel and all...) But I really believe that Nuclear power will be required to continue to explore our Solar System. Nuclear Thermal Rockets like Nerva[1] just seem li

I use .dev of course! I realize that .test is the sensible choice, but there's some odd WordPress/Serialization benefit to keeping the TLD length the same. Google bought it up, and I've never seen it in the wild, so it works

I just don't trust it when it comes to transuranic elements, I think that's what I was trying to say here. Everyone talks about the 'island of stability' but I just can't find the evidence. Meanwhile there's Am

Perhaps its the government? Lots of people think all these NSA programs are evil surveillance, could be it's just the glue that has saved us from just this. I'm personally amazed that people don't get hacked more often TBH...

I really like this comment. I think you're saying that moving data is easy, while computing the data hasn't kept up? Then again, I could be reading into this too much, and the computing part has always been a bottleneck at backbon

Insurance only works when you can get good coverage (lots of premiums being paid). Akamai and CloudFlare are DDoS insurance, and BK just got dropped. You don't see insurance companies rushing in after a disaster, this is no different

I really love the Isotope Table. I seem to remember having a chemistry teacher that mentioned something about the table being wonky or secretive. Total hearsay. I like the periodic table because I could verify it. Isotopes? Not so much...

Yes and no. Temporal as it relates to time. Time that me, you and everyone that will ever know of us could possibly hope to escape? Nope. Deep time? Yes. Temporary? Depends.

The biggest baddest Particle Accelerators in the 'Verse. I'm fairly certain we don't fully understand "common" supernovae.

Yes Yes Yes! There's the distinction of "Natural Elements" and I've always suspected that it was a somewhat temporal distinction. While I believe that the Periodic Table is a Universal Truth, "Natural" vs &quot

Here you go: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap041121.html > Billions of years from now, only one of these two galaxies will remain. Until then, spiral galaxies NGC 2207 and IC 2163 will slowly pull each other apart, crea

I never use a case for my phones. Honestly, I kinda like the way phones "wear down". It's mine, and I scratched it up a bit, no problem.

That is a great term. I believe it can also be extended to devices like modern computers. They are now complex enough that no single person can understand all the parts of the system. Now I have a word for it, thanks!

The profit motive could also argue that the best most advanced medicine in the world is found in the US for the same reason. You just have to be able to afford it. Corrosive to who? We have VERY GOOD medicine in the US, for anyone who can

I think the naturally occurring part is irrelevant. I mean it's not plutonium. Lots of interesting and unknown things are right under our noses, I don't believe that should change the value of them. The rest of your question is gr

I think you are correct, but I think humans are not as sensitive to distance measurements. If you sprint, and have a 100 yard and 100 meter dash time... Well certainly! If you want to say we just walked 100m to the car, not so much.
169.
by tdy721 10y ago
Yes! What is a meter? One Yard! 1km = 10 football fields (no end-zones) I find that meters are better for thinking about walking measures, why does our system even have a yard? Think in units, metric is good. I learned this in American Publ

I agree. Just mold and cast the finger. A bigger question is, why do they need the fingerprint... The phone has a passcode too.

IIRC, they also had success on some readers with just a photocopy of a dusted print, with a warm/conductive finger behind the paper.

By measure of "Hard" technology... Uber is just software. Electric Cars and Reusable rockets are engineering marvels, not nifty software. That's difficult.

Sorry, but solar space harvesting is a post Asteroid Mining kind of tech... Not really "Synergy" for few Decades. (and acceptance of Nuclear space propulsion) Come to think of it, if you can transfer the energy... Just put the rea

There are Nepotism conflicts between the boards of the two companies... Not a plan? If anything, it swings/stinks too far to the other side. IMHO... http://fortune.com/2016/06/22/tesla-elon-musk-solarcity

Most Hydrogen is generated from natural gas today and for the foreseeable future... It's no more an alternative source than Electricity, probably less, because we don't have Nuclear Hydrogen plants.

Tesla and SpaceX are specifically "Hard" technology... Most tech startups are Soft(ware). See: Uber SpaceX market share (Tesla too for that matter) will NEVER have a "hockey stick" growth chart... The tech is too hard

Solar offers even longer time to payoff/profit. It's a long term bet... even longer than Tesla's current profile IMHO.

Amazon was never a profit machine. I do think that's part of the core business, re-invest everything and more... and they turned into a giant comparable to Walmart.
