Bodie: He said he didn't feel like it. And I said, "You'd better!" And he said, "Or what?" And I said, "Or you're gonna be in trouble." And he said, "Jam it."
Professor Hathaway: That's a wonderful story, Bodie. I noticed you've stopped stuttering.
conductor electronics, or even electronic circuit boards, but aren't all the conventional production methods essentially printing albeit with a mask (like a printed t-shirt), ot even mentioning epitaxy here. Usually there's an etching step in there too, but so too with "3d printing" and acetone vapor.
To be fair, everyone in Germany in those days was a nazi. I've even known a few hitler youths. It was just the in thing at the time. An example of groupthink that seems so prevalent today.
In the 1980's I coined the term cosmetic programming.
I grew up programming my atari computer to do lots of cool things, but all inputs were hard coded into the source code. Then when I took a college course, I learned that most software was less about doing cool things than making it look pretty and always got dinged for this.
Efficiency doesn't matter much for utility-scale solar, just levelized cost per kWh.
That's kinda my point (I have solar and efficiency was not even considered during the purchase). And solar panel prices are so low now that for most cases. it's more economical to buy 30% more panels than to pay extra to get 30% more out of the ones you have. Of course space applications is its own special beast.
Chill out. There's no such thing as free will either. They have as much control over their lives as you have over yours (and your rant against them). Fate was settled at the big bang.
It's not a judgement against you or them, but more of a classification of someone who is judgemental.

I hate having 4-5 scroll bars on the screen at one time and having to try to figure out which one I need to move to center the text I'm interested in.

An array of millions`
Solar panels at $0.32/wp (PDF) retail are rated at 14.5% efficient.
I have no desire to be rich. If I did, I would be working. I'll have food though.
Looks like they do now
And smart people.

GUIs have been getting worse in the last few years. Sometimes significantly so.
Nah, cats are even easier than dogs.
You're right I didn't understand it which is why I prefaced the response with a question mark.

Hawking is usually the one making dire predictions about AIs/
Not if we don't add any actuators.
Shouldn't they be listening to Stephen Hawking?
Only if they pay for the upgrades that were performed.

It was good in the 70's. /Last time I really watched it and I was only 7 years old. Emily Litella was my favorite.
President Obama had a super majority congress when he was elected too. Don't worry, they never last long.
