Fascinating. It is good to see that some people are actually dreaming and acting on a bigger scale than rent seeking mobile apps.
On time at only double the original cost is a bargain by Californian standards. As you say, better to wait till its done before getting too excited.
Looking at that data it appears that a majority of California's water for power generation is coming from salinated sources, so at least for California the largest user of fresh water sources is still irrigation…
I would define "post-scarcity" as when you organize your economic system to constrain supply in order to prop up prices. For instance, the U.S. burns 30% of its corn crop to produce ethanol, which would never happen in…
This article seems very misleading, at least for California. If you look at aggregate water usage for California agriculture uses 4X "urban" and "urban" includes industrial, golf courses, parks, etc. So even if lawns…
Is this basically the same transition as V8 did with crankshaft to ignition+turbofan?
I use Ubuntu for programming and it is great. Still use Windows for HTPC though because I gave up on trying to get Ubuntu to sync video playback correctly after banging my head against the wall for a while.
> Although in our proof of concept demonstrations we rely on the assumption that the light conditions do not change during the exfiltration phase, extending the demos to handle these situations shouldn’t be a problem…
This "vulnerability" is extremely hypothetical and they have not given proof that it can be exploited in the field. Just conjecture and a demo in a totally unrealistic environment.
Yes, multi-threading has high overhead to provide the illusion of parallel operation, but when all the cores are saturated you are in the same boat, whether you have 1 or 100. The benefit to programs that don't use…
Nile is great for this
So net neutrality applies to their networks too right?
> Tesla’s vertical integration of service centers has an interesting side effect - recalls and repairs are pretty cheap This is assuming that Tesla's centrally managed monolithic dealer/service network will be run more…
> Predicting that it will rain at 2:00 PM November 10, 2017 is much more difficult than predicting that the average summer of 2040-2060 will be hotter than the average from 1980-2000 Yes, it is much easier to make…
