I couldnâ(TM)t have said this better myself. Desalinate sea water. Weâ(TM)re not using even a third of available farmland; most of the world isnâ(TM)t up to even 1940â(TM)s US farming technology (crop rotation, irrigation, fertilizers, pesticides, etc.).

I donâ(TM)t think for a minute that UBI would eliminate bureaucracy⦠Would you pay someone in the heart of Silicon Valley the same UBI as someone living in rural Tennessee? Probably not⦠so who would decide how much UBI would be paid where? Thatâ(TM)s right, Bureaucrats.
It would basicly merge the redundant bureaucracy for all the different welfare systems into one⦠or two (medical being separate) so in that case it would be more efficient. And we know how bureaucrats are against that!;-)
Three of my local restaurants have added the table tablets within the last two years and all the waiters Iâ(TM)ve spoken with say that theyâ(TM)re more productive: they can wait more tables in a given amount of time. And that means more tips.

These should have been replaced with Molten Salt Reactors decades ago. MSRâ(TM)s are cheaper than all the bandaids necessary to make a LWR look safe.
Molten salt reactor - Wikipedia (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_reactor)
#1:MSRâ(TM)s donâ(TM)t use water as a coolant⦠Every (LWR) incident to date has had (water at x50â"70 atmospheres!) coolant containment failure explosion! and hydrogen (from radiated water) explosion. (Idiotic! Maybe ok for submarines⦠but land based? No⦠justâ¦Âno.)
#2: A MSRâ(TM)s fuel is chemically part of a molten salt. Itâ(TM)s canâ(TM)t âoemelt downâ.
#3: MSRâ(TM)s are self regulating: As they get hotter the fuel salt expands and reactions slow; as they get cooler the fuel salt contracts and reactions quicken. (This also means that they can load balance quickly; something that LWRâ(TM)s canâ(TM)t do.)
#4: Passive safety: At the bottom of an MSR a salt plug is kept frozen by an external fan. If the reactor gets too hot or the fan stops (external power loss?) the plug melts and all the reactor fuel (salt) drains into a storage tank designed to inhibit further reactions.
#5 MSRâ(TM)s burn almost 98% of the Uranium fuel and all transuranics (plutonium and minor actinides)Âand transmutes long-lived fission products (lanthanides) into shorter-lived fission products that generally decay to background levels in about 300 years,Âas opposed to conventional reactors that consume less than 2% of its Uranium fuel and leaves one hundred times the waste that requires over 10,000 years to decay to background levels.
#6: CARBON-FREE ENERGY!
Addendum: Because of #1 MSRâ(TM)s donâ(TM)t need a huge expensive (to design, construct and regulate) containment structure (that never works).
Back in the early 2000â(TM)s I noticed that the worse movie decades were the (19)20â(TM)s, 50â(TM)s, & 80â(TM)s (every 30 years) and wondered if the 2010â(TM)s would repeat this observation. A friend pointed out that these decades werenâ(TM)t just the worst movie decades⦠they were also Hollywoodâ(TM)s most prolific decades. So it wasnâ(TM)t that Hollywood was making more bad movies than normal⦠they were just making more movies (including bad ones).
The âoeidiot boxâ of the 20th century has been replaced by a global suppository of misinformation (called the World Wide Web). And worse than any âoedumbing downâ is the intentional ignorance of people that think that their beliefs are more importaint that any facts, logic or reasoning.
This is a BS ethnical question: If the driver (human or AI) has time to ponder ethnics then it has time to avoid both. Thereâ(TM)s a reason the speed limit in a parking lot isnâ(TM)t 65 mph.
I'll 100% agree I've known several startups that the worst thing that happened to them was they went public. The biggest loss is the VC's sell out and take all their resources to their next investment. Second to that is that the board then becomes more focused on the stock holders than the company products.
I can handle the fact that my connection speed may fall short of advertised speeds... What drives me insane is "unlimited" data plans that drop your speed to pre-DSL speeds once you've reached your data cap. "Unlimited" means to me: NO FRICKING DATA CAP.
All "faster speed" means to me is that I hit my data cap quicker and therefore spend more time at a MUCH MUCH lower speed than advertised.
As of 2010 I'd read about 3000 (SF) books in 30 years...
That's about 8 1/3 books per month.
In 2010 I switched to Kindle on iPad and have since read about 1400 (SF) books...
That's about 16.66 books per months (but Kindle books are smaller).
(You didn't ask but my fav's are Larry Niven, Robert Sawyer (excluding H. H. & H.), James P. Hogan, and lately Hugh Howey (Silo!), Christopher Nuttall, Phillip P. Peterson & Bella Forrest.)
I've been studying all the Gen IV designs and trying to separate the facts from the hype. One easy conclusion is that we just need to STOP building water cooler reactors. Period. The GFR's have pretty much the same problem: too much pressure to contain. The SFR, LFR & MSR are the superior designs. The easy "top of the heap" choice (IMHO) is the MSR. There's a U.K. design that basically takes one of todays water cooled designed and replace the water with molten salt (at atmosphere pressure) and the fuel rods have liquid Uranium Fluoride instead of solid fuel pellets. Burns 98% of what ever you put in it and what's left has a half life of 300 years Biggest obstacle? The NRC. Thorium would be nice. Someday. We need MSR's yesterday.
I'm sorry but BS!
A corporation tax is just passed on to and paid by their customers the so-called beneficiaries you believe (wrongly) that the governments would give a tax break to if they were to get more corporation tax. The corporations would be unaffected but the consumer prices would increased to pay the corporation taxes.
What? You're filing a joint return so you don't have to pay as much taxes? YOU TAX DODGER!
Apple took advantage of a legal loophole they didn't make the loophole: Ireland did. Now the EU says it's illegal that's not Apple's bad.
Numerically invert the lists by subtracting a books place in each list from the number of books in each list that it's in (for example books 1 thru 5 would be 9, 8, 7, 6 & 5); now add together the inverse indexes of each book from all lists and sort by inverse index in reverse order. The highest inversely indexed book will now be first in the list.
For example: Dune is #3 in the "classics" list, #4 in the "WWEnd Top Listed" list and #37 in the Premios y Listas. The inverse #'s would be 97, 96 & 63. Add those together for a total of 256.
Frankenstein is 42, 3, & 1; inverse #'s 58,97, 99. Total: 254.
Sorted by their inverse index # totals Dune would be #1 and Frankenstein #2.
All this is based on Gen I & II reactors; Gen III & IV reactors could be much smaller (& safer, & efficient: (gas turbines instead of steam)); Thorium is plentiful (and we'd use most (99%) of it instead of only 1% of the Uranium that's in a fuel rod) and cheaper (because you don't need the expensive building necessary to hold the cooling water that flashes into steam when water cooled reactors lose containment).
My "Occam's razor" says given a choice between blaming vaccines developed by reputable medical companies vs. the boat loads of illegal drugs consumed by most Hollywood starlets I think the conclusion is obvious.
