Oh god. There is hardly any He3 on the moon. It is in the parts per *billion* range and a mine to run just one power station would be the biggest mining operation of ever. On top of that, He3 fusion is *way way way* harder than DT or even DD fusion. And with DD fusion you get He3 ash. It would still be cheaper just to breed He3.
If He3 is the best reason you can come up with to go to the moon. You have no reason to ever go to the moon.
You heathen! Have you forgotten the free market/capitalist rant. Wants are *infinite*. I mean next your going to say that the average american family doesn't need a 3000sqr ft house with 4 toilets and 4 cars? Or that only one house is "enough"? What is this enough you speak off.
Yea its pretty bad here. Free health care. Awesome standards of living. Low crime rates. I go on holidays most weekends. Food and living costs are lower than my contemporaries in the US, and we have great transportation. Fairly good employment opportunities if i felt like moving jobs. Cheap to almost free education, great maternity support if you want/have kids.
In fact one of the reasons UBI is pushed is for non of those reasons. It is sometimes pushed because for every dollar given to someone in "need" the government has spent 1000 working out if they deserved it. If everyone just get the basic income, the entire system spends *less* money. Similar arguments are made with transaction tax only. Simplify and get rid of government behemoth departments.
When machines are doing all the work. Why do we need to be working?
Do you think that drivers and fast food retailers are somehow at the peek of their game (I know people like you often think that). Well they are not. They are probably best represented as underemployed. If they had time and money to get better educated we could have them being far more "productive" than same lame employment figure or GPD figure favored by our currently outdated and retarded economic theory's and policies.
People like you crack me up. It is even funnier when your own life turns to shit, and it often does at least once or twice in a lifetime, unless your leaching off family money. And well its not like you choose to grow up in a wealthy family when your where born either.
err not really. Hash cash, which the current bitcoin is, is really just a method of selecting who gets to stamp the next block. It doesn't need to be billions of hashes, it can be something different. There are other algorithms proposed, and they don't have to be non centralized (bitcoin nutters not withstanding). As for the resource of running a server/blockchain stamper whatever the fuck you want to call it. There are many reasons outside earning "coin" to run one. Banks love the idea of getting rid of visa/mastercard for example. To participate you agree to run X amount of official servers or whatever.
Lawyers and Judges are not professionals, professionally speaking. They don't have to be correct about anything, you stay in the field no matter how incompetent you are. Your not even expected to fill in time sheets honestly.
Professionals have a minimum standard to maintain or you get the boot *and* are liable for your mistakes. Honest or not.
You can't exactly get those parts pressed at your local machine shop if you need replacements.
Why not? I mean where do you think prototypes come from. So yea you really can just order the parts, with the design from the local certified machine shop. It is however expensive and you get long lead times.
Digital does not "crush" things to a 0 or a 1. For example digital anolog "crushes" it into a 0 to a 65536 or even much larger. And no there is no order or anything improvement with analog. You are literally talking out of your Ass. You have no idea what your going on about. You probably made one of those BEAM toys and believed you made a breakthrough. Yea they are cool. But they are not the future of robotics.
It is already getting common here in europe. Much like the city bike services, car services are gaining in popularity. You pay only when you drive the car. Park it and then its in a database for the next person.
The requirement to "have" a car disappears pretty fast once alternatives are available. Especially if you can budget and see just how much that car really costs.
It is true many real heat pumps don't work when its cold outside but this has *nothing* to do with theoretical performance which is based on *absolute zero*. It is practical problems like the outside heat exchanger icing up and stuff like that.
IAAP and your mostly correct. However the force is no where near 10kN. However lets assume 1N, with 1m of seperation that is 1J of energy. Or enough energy to produce about a billion protons. So yea true separation distance are small before more quarks are created.
You should do that. Because 1kJ of of electricity is *not* the same as 1kJ of heat. A heat pump, pumps heat from outside into the house and for 1kJ of electricity you can easily pump 4kJ of heat from outside cold to inside hot giving a total of 5kJ of heat. ie 5x better.
So you really should study your basic thermodynamics and entropy because you don't know it. You want to look at a carnot efficiency and heat engines/refrigeration.

I like this new Mooo meme. Its a lot more polite than frosty piss.
In their defense, there is a lot of space nutters around here.
If we decide to do this "basic income" thing then I believe we need to make people work for it.
Why?
If machines do everything why do we need to work for it? As GP pointed out, why do you think your puritan work ethic belongs in a automated society?
2800 is a lot. Why was this figure chosen. Basic income is not suppose to give you a great living standard. Just a humane one.

And that is a big problem. Departments grow and new ones are created, and can never be shut down (DEA and TSA looking at you).

Yea really Sucks to be us.
....And, if someone can't find a .. way to make a decent living, ... they will turn to ... extortion, fraud or human trafficking.
One of the main ideas of UBI is reduce government workers :D.
In fact one of the reasons UBI is pushed is for non of those reasons.

I can buy a PIC or ARM controller cheaper than a transistor these days.

Luxembourg produces lots of steel. Which we of course use. Much like Chinas very bad co2 footprint is mostly making stuff for us :/ .

European carbon footprint is half that of the US per capita. And we have the same or mostly better lifestyles than the US.

but in many 3rd world countries with unstable national currencies, it has done wonders.
Citation required. Given its very low volume, I am go out on a limb and say no. It has done literally almost nothing.
