Well we all share the air with aircraft. How would you feel about a pilot “demonstrating” controlled flight into terrain on autopilot? I assure you my Lear’s autopilot would do it.

The whole series is amazing. I strongly recommend watching SG1 S1-S7, then stargate atlantis S1 in parallel with SG1 S8. Some of the best television ever made. https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/how-to-watch-star

This is scary if true, because it opens up all kinds of doors for external EM fields modifying human cognition doesn’t it?

Nah. We have enough AT&T-style soulless megacorps. Give me some flavor.

There is huge room for efficiency improvements. What we need is cheap, large-scale production of 24+ SEER heat pumps.

>How much GHG was emitted to build them, and how much GHG is expected to be saved While this is a fair question, I love how these types of questions seem to only pop up with solar/wind/batteries (and by proxy EVs). Nobody ever

What we need is a 10-20MV DC national transmission grid that connects all 50 states. States should be able to buy/sell power to/from this grid in an efficient manner at interconnect points. This lets a solar panel in Texas "p

Renewables + storage will provide a solid, low-carbon baseline until He3-he3 fusion is commercialized and we use that energy to dominate the solar system.

>Solar doesn't work that well the further you get from the equator. This simply isn't true outside of artic zones. While it's true the panels become less efficient in a $/kw basis, the cost of panels is already so low

This. I will take more than a decade of majority-sales being EV to convert the fleet. That's MORE than enough time to steadily upgrade the grid.

Just wait till the next shoe drops on DNA “evidence”. All the early tests used scary-low sample counts and the odds of a false positive vs someone else in your geographic location were fairly high.

This is a great solution to get past setup. Presumably most devices would continue to function once you kick them off hotspot.

I went through something similar. I just made sure all the high end appliances I got didn’t need WiFi to work. Having the capability (but not connected) hasn’t limited anything at all so far.

This. Soon I’ll have to jam 5G/whatever around my home to keep devices from “escaping”.

But he is correct in his assertion that the vast majority will not. America is a soulless nation that “just works” as long as we’re all making money from it. The second push comes to shove and we need to mobilize the nation ala-WW2 our lead

My biggest issue with SwiftUI previews is tweaks to a single UI file rebuilding random dependencies. Like, I just changed a color why is it rebuilding the graphing library AGAIN?

An entirely relevant observation. The kinds of people that pretend the top tax bracket is 37.5% are the kinds of people that don’t understand payroll tax or sales tax.

The case you’re slyly referring to was pretty much treason. Imagine if today a US general called Russia to let them know we wouldn’t launch nukes if the president asked. It would be all you hear about on CNN.

Are they though? I’m not exactly confident those work anymore. Our subs keep crashing in to underwater mountains.
