What major interest groups in the US oppose Nuclear energy? Curious what Nuclear is up against, since it seems like the logical choice to phase out coal in 25 years or so.

Besides gameplay, what else is there? Trailers, that have never and will never capture whether a game is fun to play? Good luck.

I'd like to propose IPv7. Exactly like IPv4, but 48 bit addresses and must accept IPv4 traffic and treat addresses as beginning with 0's for first two octets. You're welcome.

Couldn't SV solve most of the homelessness virtually overnight by financing a hundred or so large homeless shelters or urban camping grounds? If every company pitched in and had it run by competent private firms I imagine they could ma

Nothing that visionary or even self aware, but imagine a giant sphere, sealed with an inside vacuum and also coated on the inside with IC's connected via copper for power and basic communication but each IC also had a nodule/trans

I wrote some unpublished fiction once about a super computer that used light as the interconnect fabric between nodes/CPUs, where each core could talk to any other core with virtually no latency and high bandwidth. I guess it's ne

Funny you mention flat earthers, I think it's because of social media that the number of times they're mentioned dwarfs the actual number of flat earthers alive today by something like a few hundred thousand to one. Just one examp

I can't stand Coke Zero myself, better maybe, but still very weird aftertaste. I like those V8 Vanilla Raspberry energy drinks and I thought they were made with real sugar, until I added a can of it to a smoothie with real fruit. &quo

Your first source is quite flawed IMO. For one, they focus on the idea that the impetus behind the Tea Party movement was some kind of schizophrenic notion of citizens wanting both low taxes but also many high-quality public services. The T

Owning a shopping cart at the house would be the epitome of low class in my opinion.

I'm surprised more people aren't skeptical of the IRS themselves. Inverting the way the US does their taxes would disrupt a lot of careers of a lot of of IRS employees. I would imagine there is considerable pressure to keep the

Movies Anywhere is nice, but Apple is still throwing their anti-consumer bullshit around, i.e. you can't play 4K iTunes movies in 4K on anything but an Apple TV, they get limited to 1080p. Edit: And Apple is misleading consumers I wou

I've heard physicist Michio Kaku say something similar, that western thought historically has rewarded the mavericks but that eastern thought has tended towards a "the tallest blade of grass is cut down first" mentality. I t

No doubt someone at the founding of the US Constitution had the same ideals of such a perfect world, where criticism of Christianity would only be permitted from their basement.

To be clear for those who somehow don't get these calls, telemarketers have been spoofing phone numbers with impunity for over 3 years now. At least, 3-4 years ago is when I first started getting daily telemarketing calls. Telemarkete

The same thing happened to me two years ago, though I had signed up with a PC with Gmail and my account was locked pending phone verification within an hour.

Redundant wings? Fuselage? Just 2 obvious examples, back to my armchair.

Wanting to make a better and cheaper jet isn't at all controversial, though the twitter thread seems to try to make it appear so.

Theories I've read so far: 1. Ineptitude 2. Corruption/Greed 3. US planes don't have the same issues that is suspected to be the root cause of other crashes.

That's part of it but I think it goes much deeper than just recent examples like the Covington kids. I can't stand most of cable news because any topic that I know anything about, political or not, I know I'm being lied to th

You'll notice that only stories that make some Republican look bad stay on the front page for very long. The American left isn't so much anti-intellectual as they are anti-inconvenient-facts, although the end result is largely th
