Most outages nowadays are caused by misconfigurations or hacking, not individual data centers going down. Think Azure, AWS, etc. Renewables aren't a panacea, but they exist now and are seeing growing deployment, even…
Climate change is having and will continue to have significant effects on our physical infrastructure, especially in the coastal areas, areas prone to flooding/drought, and wildfires. But I don't see data…
>But if its talk about presidential elections on a tech show then thats a waste of my time as a technology enthusiast. True; it's not as if elections are tabulated on some sort of "voting machines" that are…
He states pretty clearly that he's fairly liberal. However, in the occasional times there's an important politics angle to a tech story, he does a reasonably good job of discussing it objectively. Even when there are…
Although it would be nice to save money too, I don't think that should be the main focus here. The main impetus for this project should be the well documented effects diesel exhaust has on the health of school age…
We already have those fast chargers. The average EV gets 3-4 miles/kwh. 50 miles would be about 15 kwh. To deliver 15kwh in 5 minutes, you'd need 180kw charging. The fastest widely available chargers currently go up to…
The PHEV Chrysler Pacifica & PHEV Mitsubishi Outlander came out 5 years ago, and the PHEV Volvo XC90 has been out 7 years. Meanwhile I'm still waiting for Toyota to sell a PHEV 3-row anything (Sienna, Highlander,…
>NTRU may not be the fastest or smallest. "It's slower and uses more memory" goes a long way in encouraging the evaluation of other options.
I think you are confusing export with consumption. Russia's fossil fuel production is mostly slated for export, and thus they are very sensitive to the international demand for said fossil fuels. In comparison, US…
Neither of those exist without energy, which is a fine distinction from "gas and oil".
I'm far from an expert, but to me it seems that a way the little cores can help is by being more efficient (instructions-per-watt). Even in desktop CPUs there are power and thermal limits, and if the littles can take…
>There is no requirement to evaluate the truth value of an ill defined, nonsensical or self-contradictory claim. Calling a claim "ill defined, nonsensical or self-contradictory" is already an evaluation of it's probable…

Oh, was not aware that youtube was part of the federal government.
"Well-established scientific consensus" may not be perfect, but may I challenge you to provide an alternative with a better track record? It generally takes in new information and self-corrects over time. As I mentioned…
That was not an answer to his question, and I am really curious for an answer to it because I think it's a valid and reasonable point. Also, as to whether believing scientific general consensus should count as "faith"…
