Lots of assumptions there, let’s hope if it ever happens that they are less douchebags that we are

Well it’s only fair!

That’s ~4% that is typically considered low but even if it wasn’t.

It’s not one assembly line, and one product only… it’s every component from the chips to the glass, screen, circuit board and then the final one on.

You would need also experienced people in every part you would need to manufacture including engineers that are in short supply, an nevermind building the factories etc…

However unemployment figures suggest that would be impossible to do in practice.

it’s not just acost the issue, there’s not enough skilled people to actually build them.

Industrial engineers, people that would be willing to assemble devices would be in short supply

for once the comparison is apt

it’s too late, guillotine instead

A bit misleading, all it is, is that the CCS facility doesn’t capture all the carbon released into the atmosphere.

Whatever it wasn’t designed for that or it failed to meet the design capacity I am not sure. If it was a demonstration plant it might not have been aimed to capture everything but to test the technology under continuous operaton.

Nothing for this case at least.

It’s completely unrelated to Boeing per se. Likely a maintenance issue, maybe repair done wrong.

facepalm genial

He could had pulled out of the bid as well me thinks. Between presenting a bid and closing the deal there should be **due diligence **.

This is what I understand Mr Musk failed to do, after that it would have been nearly impt to cancel the deal.

CS is a different art but still artistic

Well then you will have conspiracy theorists to tell you that government backed IDs are fake cause reptilians are controlling them…

Newspapers l, specially tabloids feeds on sensational crap like this

They don’t have to serve you what you want if it’s not on the menu, they can try to accommodate if they really want but that’s about it.

But if you don’t have the ingredients they cannot really do that can they.

Cameras can already read plates, it’s not that difficult via machine learning

Abstract:

We discovered a simple regime where a near-critical plasma irradiated by a laser of experimentally available intensity can self-organize to produce positrons and accelerate them to ultrarelativistic energies. The laser pulse piles up electrons at its leading edge, producing a strong longitudinal plasma electric field. The field creates a moving gamma-ray collider that generates positrons via the linear Breit-Wheeler process—annihilation of two gamma rays into an electron-positron pair. At the same time, the plasma field, rather than the laser, serves as an accelerator for the positrons. The discovery of positron acceleration was enabled by a first-of-its-kind kinetic simulation that generates pairs via photon-photon collisions. Using available laser intensities of 1022  W/cm2, the discovered regime can generate a GeV positron beam with a divergence angle of around 10° and a total charge of 0.1 pC. The result paves the way to experimental observation of the linear Breit-Wheeler process and to applications requiring positron beams.

Most people don’t live in the US, also a lot of people don’t live in single family homes and park on the street. No garage means you need to install lots of on street chargers.

Putting a charger on every street parking location will become disproportionately expensive.

Yeah pretty much my understanding as well, I don’t think anyone has a notion of what it would take to generate power from inertial fusion and whatever if it would be practical.

All my headphones are wired so daily. I have a dongle for an iPad I use frequently and it works fine but charging it is a drain.
