I know three people at Intel all friends since grade school. All three have started their own businesses and gone into real estate long ago, in addition for wrking at Intel. Actually most engineers that I still know since college have done likewise, even many engineering coworkers. I'm certain they'll all be fine. Would you consider them working or ruling class? Most, if not all of them, are multimillionaires (it's not that difficult if you are not a complete idiot and work hard).
one needs an approximate cost of around $0.25 per watt
Just wondering where you got this number? I did a detail analysis about ten years ago along with simulations and real-world data and came up with the same number (actually I think it was $0.261 or something). I think that was to be competitive with hydro (the least expensive). Just out of curiosity, I'd like to see their methodology.
Yeah, but it wasn't very much money. My college roommate used to write much worse things when he'd pay me by check. As for keeping money, I did a wire transfer last month and the receiving bank, also an account owned by me, rejected it for some reason and the sending bank got the money back and charged me $82. This was on a $100 transfer. That was in addition to the $40 to send it.
It doesn't have to be, I recall reading a similar article about Titanic and how it was rendered on thousands of linux boxes and how this was one of the ways linux broke into
Hollywood as inexpensive server farms.
not only that, I have them all memorized. Don't believe me? Here's one. (301)437-5529. Here's another.(207)844-627. And yet know even more. (902)887-8535. I even know your phone number. Doesn't matter what country or where you live. I know them all.
I use a coffee pot that I found in a yard sale that dates back to he 60's or 70's. My main coffee I bought in Mexico in 2002. I'm sure it has been recycled at least 3,000 times.
Population would be shrinking in the US, like most of western countries, if it were not for immigration. Replacement fertility ate in the US is 2.1. The actual value is 1.89.
I've been coming to Seattle for forty years and people have been complaining about this since at least the mid eighties. This is happening now in my 'neighborhood' in AZ
No problem. I see this repeated quite often and it really bothers me as an excuse (having graduated at an earlier time with less of a college wage premium). I don't know why this beleif has been perpetrated so much.
I know all about controllers, specialized in it for my EE degree and have taken half a dozen grad classes:) I don't consider it AI and have never in 30 years heard anyone call it that. Probably the closest was the fuzzy logic fad in the mid 90's until someone wrote a paper for IEEE demonstrating that it was a special case of modern control, the other being of course classical control.
BTW, Chess has been solved but I wouldn't consider a search of all possible moves AI either. With a fast enough computer, you can brute force solve many problems. It would be like calling a textbook or wikipedia intelligent because it has answers to questions.
You are obviously not an engineer. Plugging numbers into a computer is a tiny portion of what engineering is. Typically you have to derive pages of equations, build math models, convert them to C or matlab code. Afer all that is done you can add in numbers like kg and meters then you hit the equal (run) button to find your answer. In reality, you spend months debugging and refining your model and compare it with real life test models for validaton.
Since when? It is what most of the physicists I know do, particularly in the experimental field. You know, like the guys who designed and built the LHC and the discovery of the Higgs Boson.

No it hasn't. When solar was $30/watt, only 35 years ago, it was so prohibitively expensive that the storage problem was lost in the noise.

I once transferred money from my savings to checking account and wrote 'supplies for meth production' in the optional for section and it was rejected.

About the same computational time (for some definitions) as Tron

Something had to replace religion.
If you don't make people rich, we can we complain about rich people? duh.

Well, in a previous era, they named the formerly known planet Pluto after a cartoon dog.
It's not a tumor.
My parents threw me out because I was 18 and graduated high school.

As a percentage of GDP, 3.3%, the US is not too far out of line with other countries, the US just hapens to have a very large GDP.
rapid population growth?

Moving to a completely new area without any funds to float you until you got settled would be foolish.
Much like all the people moving to the US from Mexico, right?

Engineers at the University of California, San Diego, have created new ceramic materials that could be used to store hydrogen safely and efficiently.
