The first era of silicon valley was the commercialization the transistor between the 1950s and early 1970s by Shockley and his renegades from the east coast. This established the culture of quick startup companies and nomadic engineers you really hadnt seen elsewhere in the world.
Then when the number of transistors on a single chip exceeded a thousand using cheap CMOS technology you could put a whole CPU on chip and complete computer in a box for a couple thousand dollars. This lead to the second era of the personal computer in the 1970s and 1980s.
There was story this week about the police approaching a 3d printing prothestics expert to reconstruct the fingers of a dead guy to unlock an iPhone. They tried the fingerprint image which didnt work.
Rodenberry said in his book The Making of Star Trek that he eschewed shuttles and invented transporters to cut the cost of filming and avoid the extra time it would take to depict a shuttle in the show. Ditto for many of the other devices. Constrast this to the Iron Man movie why they glory in showing expensive FX gizmos.
It less silly than Lost In Space or ominus as the Outer Limits. Two years before 2001 Space Odyssey and three years before the Moon landing.
(The Salt Monster was like 5th filmed including two pilots)

Mainly because scientists have focused on reading and invented clever technologies to do so. The guy who made the reading breakthrough, Craig Venter, is also a writing pioneer in his synthetic biology work.
Earlier this year there was a secret meeting ran by a Harvard prof to launch the DNA-WRITE project to improve write technology. The meeting was secret because it was feared that anti-GMO groups and general Frankenstein fear might quash the efforts prematurely.
P.S. Some computer write memory technologies are also much slower than reading.
Much of their compression comes from they dont use full 32 bit floats or integers to store the discrete cosine transform coefficients, but variable bit length numbers which can be squished more tightly. I didnt read the paper deep enough to study how efficient this bit hacking is machine operations. There might be few clever tricks there.
Bit hacking was more common in the early days of computers when core memory was very expensive. I recall Woz had some clever way of compressing color and shape graphics in the Apple II.
Much of the time when I "watch" tv I am doing something on the side like cooking or surfing the net. Fast forward would probably require my whole attention.
An incubator fellowship, like from ycombinator, hides the expenses until you get version 1.0 out. If its any decent, then a vc will throw money at you.
Web 3.0 is about the merger of browsers and apps with advantages of both and no longer see the distintion between the two. Apps were a temporary aberration to wall of pieces of the internet often for financial gain. No longer will there be the tyranny of of app store censors.
Scaling up the K computer to an exaflop at one gigaflop per watt would require a gigawatt of power. The Green500 lists says the most efficient super runs at 7 gigaflops per watt in 2015. There are plans to do a lot betterbthan this.
By Maryland physicist Joesph Weber. He used pizeolectric strain sensors on large metal cylinders. No one could repeat his results nor prove his experiment was sensitive enough. The LIGO project is a direct reaction to this failure with a supposedly better approach. But it took over 30 years of fund raising and technology development to make LIGO work. During those 30 years Congress threatened termination several times. And skeptics like myself though there might be something incorrect with LIGO physics until they finally got a result.
The Colorado legislature incorporated a state credit union for handling the growing volume of all cash pot transaction (nearly a billion according state strict monitoring laws). The regional Federal Reserve Bank refused membership of this bank and participation in final clearing services. Without Fed clearing services you cannot transfer money, cash checks or credit. The credit union lost a lawsuit earlier this year to reverse the Feds decision.
There is even a tech startup incubator called Boulder Canopy managing at least eight startups. I attended part of cannabis track at Boulder Startup Week in May. Numerous mom and pop startups buy from a mushrooming service industry (pun intended). The big divide is whether you directly handle leaf or not (farm, process, retail). The industry is shunned by the established financial and computer industry out of fear of seizure laws. Pages are quickly shutdown on conventional social media. So a shadow computer services industry is supplying social, cloud storage etc. yes, people saidtheir cloud apps were banned by all the conventional cloud companies as soon as their nature was discovered.
Trumps near racist appeals reflect what a significant fraction of US voters think. Trump has avoided being as politically correct as candidates in recent decades. Racist candidates were pretty blatant 40 and more years ago.
Any accurate social software is going to capture this bias in society. Perhaps this increased self awareness will help some to improve themselves. And rest dont care.
This kind of chemically reactive rock is necessary to capture CO2. The Iceland proejct used basalt which is mainly just available in Hawaii and southernmost California. Other fresh volcanic rock available in the Cascades and western US may wotk too. But most power plants are not currently colocated there.
This would be an issue in Cina and India, the other two largest CO2 producers.
But it doesnt matter due to the story telling and quantum leap in space battle scenes. You see elements of Kurosawa movies, Flash Gordon, Dune, etc. This was covered by an online book about the writing of StarWars in slashdot around six years ago.
I read it first time at age 12, but forgot the ending. Then was pleasant thrilled when Inhad reread it as a MIT student.
I dont know why this was never made into a movie. The Mother Thing whom I picture as a Star Trek Horta may have been hard to do before computer F/X. They could have done it as a pixie pupput like E.T. Or Yoda.
The closest movie plot to this novel was the 1980s Last Starfighter. It was also about a bored small teen catapulted into a galatic war.
Double the glacial low.
It may have been as high as percent several hundred million years ago. Life can adapt if over hundreds of thousands, but not centuries like now.
Part of reason Norway can be generous with social benefits is that has been a mini-OPEC in profiting off its large oil reserves. It has taxed and investing a large sovereign wealth fund. So if Norway goes all EV it just offshores its CO2 to oil consuming countries. They are not the first in doing such. The US cleaned up its air polution in part to offshoring dirty manufacturing to China, now a highly polluted country.

I still have a school address from 1976. They used exclaimation signs for uucp instead of at signs then.
First Cruise has an eye transplant to avoid discovery. Second he gives his ex-wife his original eye to break him out of prision-stasis.

Works fine with my 720 line digital TV. Paid for itself by avoiding cable DVR fees. I hear it wontbwork with a 1080.

No being killed to obtain it. Hopefully less land, energy, carbon, etc.

Plenty of people watch various net videos like youtube or porn, but dont consider it television.

They feel more effective than "you've won lottery" or African heir spams. I dont click on any.
