"And if they can't handle something as simple as HF, I wouldn't bet on their ability to safely handle uranium"
HF is one of the scariest chemicals I can think of. Contact with it will destroy your bones and possibly leach the calcium out of your blood and stop your heart. Don't fool around with HF. It requires special handling.
I hate how the owned media always bashes nuclear power, especially since it seems to be the only viable existing technology to replace fossil fuels. I really want to see nuclear power in wide use but I just see incompetence at all levels of every industry (Caused by fail-motions). People who fail at their jobs get promotions. People who are competent get left in place. This is not necessarily a union phenomenon this it typical of management. Are there extraordinarily well engineered nuclear plants that can withstand attacks of idiocy?
We don't feed nearly as many people as we are technically capable of. This is a cultural failing. And we are trapped on this rock because people with their small lives are limited in their ability to do anything long term. We lost Newton, Einstein, et al. and this is bad. At the risk of evoking Godwin, we just have to be careful to squish the evil dictators with rocks or something. There will be new problems to be sure, but mankind has always encountered problems whenever technology advances. We solve some and we encounter others. This is advancement. But it's moot for now. It looks like those mice were genetically engineered with an on/off switch on their genome to produce telomerase. So this doesn't work on the current production model of humans. So it would be something to add to the Gatica types.
The proposed treatment does not make you indestructible. You won't be floating in an empty universe with all the stars extinct and all matter decayed to subatomic particles in the vast 0 degree K void. The arguments against this technology are based on a large emotional investment in death. The emotional investment is so large that death is too big to fail as it were. Because the idea of a pill, that can prevent the degeneration killed all of our predecessors that wern't squished by rocks, makes us feel guilty. So we will see a lot of arguments that ageing death is necessary.
Yes, all this means is that they will just get their rare earths from other suppliers.

Mining activities will increase in those areas.
Are you making your own semiconductors?
I am curious if it is possible to use doping levels on the chips that would allow them to work at high temperatures while not necessarily working at room temperature.
Perhaps you could get with NASA. I bet they would need something similar for exploring Venus.
Seriously, why would anyone want to develop user code for that junk lockout box.
Doing so only increases the value of the box for Sony.
Sony has burned so many bridges I wonder why anyone would give them there business.
Sony is first and foremost a media company and this is incompatible with being an electronics company.
An actual electronics company should be on the customers side when engineering the box.
These days most engineering on these junk boxes is to prevent function and track users.
These devices should not be purchased.
It's like putting your email on a do not spam list and giving it to all the spammers.
Tracking activity must be prohibited unless a someone opts-in.
This "watch dog" group is disingenuous. Laws are already being violated.
This group wants to make this OK.
I bought bandwidth from my provider. Now additional tolls are being charged to the providers who I want to access. AT&T wants to sell something that is not theirs to sell.
Sentience: A being that is self aware, interacts with its environment, can reason and communicate this reason to others by for example putting a book in a library.
Artificial Sentience: Some quantity of intelligent resources that is self aware, interacts with its environment, can reason and communicate this reason to Sentient beings, and has the ability to read, comprehend and use the entire contents of all existing libraries also extending those libraries.
Those documents were reviewed by Wikileaks removing names. And some docs were withheld.
If these were just dumped on line somewhere this would not be the case.
Wikileaks is not the system that is broken. And Wikileaks saved lives.
I own the network infrastructure as I have payed my access fees explicitly for my bandwidth.
I when accessing an online service give it permission to use my bandwidth.
Now the service provider seems to think it's OK to commit fraud by assessing fees to the service which I have given permission to use my bandwidth.
Fraud here is selling something which is already owned by another person.
Sadly, I think your right. I always hear of amazing breakthroughs like this or cancer cures etc.
But how often is it actually applied in medicine.
The real industry will just keep using the stone knives and flint axes they are used to.
No you're thinking of an incident from the viking mission where the opposite happened.
Viking video images were miscalibrated to display the sky as blue.
But there is always a calibration target on the lander with known colors that is used for proper calibration.
Disappointment ensued when it was corrected as per the know target and the sky was pink.
Those tires are at least as big as my garden tractor and it has six of them.
That and its body looks like a cross between a battle ship and a Dalek.
But what matters most though, is if it works well and has new science capability.
Ok here it is... A faster millennium falcon would defiantly make the Kessel run in fewer parsecs...

Lucas might have made a mistake but might be right anyway. The closer to light speed you travel the shorter distance the rider actually sees.

Because the operations are planed to get transfered to China soon.
Cost savings is the biggest expense to any large organization that does it.

Hmm, so by their example. We should outsource the government to China.

This red rain event happened multiple times in that specific area. This makes the meteor idea absolutely ridiculous.
