Unfortunately this slows down adoption of renewables even more, China produces most of world’s renewables and batteries but bootstraps this industry with oil.

It's believed China managed to halve oil imports due to large (undisclosed) reserves, emergency public policies and overdriving coal use, but this can't last. China is also extreme…

> Is that why he bombed Iran and single-handedly caused a global energy crisis? Yes. Oil price hurts China industrial capacity more than the US economy. Oil companies made a $93 bi…

The new US policy under Trump is giving up trying to win the world and instead focusing on internal market and dominance over the American continent. Causing and sustaining frictio…

Sales connects the pocket of the people who need a problem solved to the pocket of the people who invested on the company that promises to solve it.

Skin tones are particularly difficult to pin down, besides the pigmentation there are two effects at play: 1) sub surface scattering (light goes thru and bounces under the skin a b…

This actually proves the hardest part of software engineering is defining requirements.

Or you make like old times and use the sun: build sky windows, green houses and indoor winter gardens.

This Pandora box is already open. Any argument about guardrails now are only attempts to create an artificial monopoly or keep this power in the hand of a single nation state, and …

Don't you Dare use logic to analyze their statement, it's based on moral panic.

There's money now to _build_ these massive data centers. If there is long-term money to operate, we'll see. It might mean we'll get cheaper cloud compute in the future, but I'm als…

It's inevitable. The value proposition of the software isn't large enough to justify (by itself) the valuation. Not to mention it's trained on lots of public or scraped data. It's …

CSAM is the perfect trojan horse to undermine privacy everywhere. No politician and no company can oppose it on the grounds of protecting privacy before having the reputation ruine…

Mid-August there’s a shareholder unlock of 20%, we haven’t seen the dip yet.

The organism dumps Mg on the blood as much as necessary because it needs to remain in stable concentrations. When a serum Mg test comes out low, the patient already has severe defi…

Not great, not terrible.

The grime around the pot convinced me they’re telling the truth about 52 years :)

In the old times, I bought a Nokia smartphone (5230) because it shipped with offline maps – Nokia had the license for satellite data before Google Maps existed. I also drive a VW w…

I understand that, but I would expect distant LEO satellites to appear close to the horizon, such that a relatively small aperture in the orbits would allow for a large cone of cle…

Should it be possible to coordinate orbits to create permanent clear spots on the sky where observatories are? A LEO no flight zone of sorts.

That's the difference between "inventing things" and "discovering things". If you believe you're inventing a solution, doing just enough to solve the immediate problem and stopping…

They make sense for so called audiophiles who don’t understand Nyqist frequency theory. It’s like photographers who are confused about the difference between raw and bitmap (jpeg),…

Selling tele-operated robots in the hopes you get AI valuation is borderline scam IMO. This is hiring a human worker with extra steps, worse cost benefit and in a dehumanising mann…
