I think OP may be implying the fossil fuels are necessary for the "industrial revolution" part of a civilization's development -- and that industrial revolution is a gating factor for achieving spacefaring technology.

> you could argue that all the big cloud providers could easily compete with Cloudflare and crowd out their proposition. I would definitely argue the first point here, but not the point about crowding out. You said it…
Awesome. Loving the recent proliferation in web 3D. Q for folks at GH -- is this vanilla three.js? Looks like Babylon in dev tools. You guys should consider using react-three-fiber! Also nice little easter egg in the…
I would say that modeling teeth with geometry is very easy. The material, lighting, and rendering is the challenge, especially when you consider all of the occlusion (and hard/soft body dynamics) from your lips that is…
Pretty interesting! I have seen one or two of these "trading in public" apps emerge recently. The one that comes to mind is Commonstock. I like that this is a public web page that can have account-less following. I…
Admittedly, I know very little of the battery industry, and not much more about gravity battery viability. That said, naive me would would ask why we can't just fill ballasts with waste water or other dense waste…
Thanks, apologies for missing that. I wonder if other measurement tools (e.g. Adobe color picker) are also fooled by the OS in this case.
If you pop open Digital Color Meter app (macOS system util), are there any differences between the whites in the video and the #fff interface whites?
Gravity batteries! Basically a hunk of concrete that uses spare grid power to be hoisted, and then converts the gravitational energy when its dropped. Seems like there are only a few companies giving it a real go.…

text2speech and speech2speech seem like very different problems no? Especially when so much of someone's voice identity is based on speech patterns, contextual inflection, rhythm/cadence, how would realtime work? Just…
I think video generation for other media types is definitely getting some legs these days. This is a great start for music/podcasts. There are so many directions you could take it, but generally I suspect it will be…

Probably not an advisable strategy because there are many ways it would adversely affect certain groups, but as a thought experiment, what if a pre-requisite for future COVID stimulus checks in the U.S. (individuals or…
This discussion thread has me wondering if there's a good opportunity between the ubiquity of modern cameras (drones/satellites/phones) + computer vision to reduce the cost of those "total count" surveys you mentioned.…
I was thinking less about penalization or individual application decisions, and more about aggregate or anonymized datasets for institutions and governing bodies (College Board, Common App, etc.) to inform their…
Is there any way that it could make sense to require reporting the # of hours a student spends in SAT/ACT tutoring, whether it be private, through your school, or other? As a required field on the common app, this could…
This would make for an excellent after effects (or any post-production software for that matter) plugin. Would highly recommend going this route for the "Unscreen Pro" version that is yet to be released. Separately,…
