That was what I thought too. But there are videos from people who are doing it successfully in the American west -- and in the edge areas around the Sahara. It's worth poking around YouTube to see just what people are saying they'

True. Boy that would be fun to unravel.

And all of this is caused by the way that the earth spins on an axis. And who chose this axis? Is this axis somehow privileging some? We should now devote lots of effort to change the axis to rectify this unfairness.

I'm pretty sure it's going to be Harris or Trump. One of those two.

And if oil, sugar and tobacco are out, where can we work guilt-free? At one recent discussion, a tenured sociology professor said her industry was not bad. And someone else chimed in by pointing out that they take huge tax dollar grants to

There are a number of interesting videos on YouTube about people who are adding swales and rock dams to their western land to slow down the departure of rain water. Apparently just these extra terraforming can be enough to turn barren land

It's called negotiation. When you go to the car dealer, do you pay the full list price? Or do you make an offer that "fall[s] short of the demands?"

The benefits weren't "stopped", they were swapped out to something that's really a better model for everyone. Defined benefits plans are very hard to administer and they often fail when the investments don't deliver

And there's lots of gossipy talk about who is "beloved" and who isn't. Like who has time to care about these things if you're not directly reporting to them?

Is there any reason to think this is anything but great?

They don't need to be immune from the same fluctuations in fuel costs. But if they use less fuel per ton, then a rise in fuel prices should benefit them more.

Somehow I think the magazine wants to make this more about Musk than the holes themselves. That's why the magazine puts his name first in the headline.

I've got to agree. All four of them. Or at least the first three. That is: _The Mad Scientist Club_ _More Adventures of the Mad Scientist Club_ _The Big Kerplop_ _Big Chunk of Ice_

Why are you being a Democrat shill? Didn't you see that recent video of Democratic party boss Hillary Clinton saying the quiet part outloud? If the social media isn't censored, "we lose control." And by "we", s

A friend of mine has motion sensors connected to an automatic sprinklers to keep the deer from eating his plants. It works pretty well, even though it doesn't use AI. Just motion sensors.

THis is a nice defense of it. Why should we valorize the ability to plough through thousands of pages of a Russian novel? Is that any better than reading one paragraph closely? Some books are just too long.

I've heard that places like MIT quietly tell their alumni that their children have a better chance because "they know what they're getting into." And this may be true. But it's a way for them to have their cake and

Certainly very clever. The only thing that bugs me about it is that I like the economic effects of the DRM. I don't print very much and the DRM lets HP sell the printers for next to nothing because they'll make it up on the overpr

Interoperability is essential for some of the smart contracts, but it ends up undermining much of the "wealth" that's emerged because of limits. Bitcoin, Ethereum and many of the others depend upon scarcity for their value. I

But that's not true. I know several guys who make a living at it. The casinos don't care because they make their vig on the action. The only losers are the folks on the other side of the bets. It is true that the casinos will find

Gambling isn't the only form of entertainment meant to tickle the part of the brain that craves risk. Movies have car chases. Amusement parks have roller coasters. And many jobs involve taking risks. Investment houses. Sales. etc. We r

Unfortunately, people with predispositions like that are even more drawn to marijuana (and other drugs). It's a form of self-medication-- that sometimes goes wrong.

It is one of the worst examples I've seen. Just one solid block of lifted text -- with the spelling fixed to look American. Does anyone know whether it could have been the co-author who did this alone?

I wonder how long it will be before the enviro types will be angered by those yuge fields of solar cells like the one in the cover image of the story. Coal mines and oil fields don't look great, but the solar fields are starting to loo

Around here, the problem isn't the people going faster than the speed limit. The problem is the driver who absolutely must go 10, 15 or 20mph than the other cars. The weaving and dodging is so dangerous. It's one thing to risk you

Money will probably go to the same folks who built all of those affordable EV chargers or rural Internet connection. If you don't actually build anything, the zoning doesn't matter. Problem solved.

IBM may not be the world leader any more in a number of ways, but that doesn't mean they're not relevant to all of their customers. So maybe the x86 will just limp along, but it's still doing pretty well. By the end of the 80

I'm still blown away by what many of the LLMs can do, but I'm not fooling myself into thinking that they're more than extremely flexible functions. You put in a query and get an answer. How are they that different from any se
