Related: Technology can save us. Nope. Only we can save us from ourselves. Technology is a non-specific amplifier of the energies and values of humans.

I graduated 2020 and its been rough. I've just been programming and working stupid jobs. Lots of free time for creative projects, and I feel like an open source software God, so I won't say there is no upside to graduating 202

I hope this reaches mass internet consciousness, and people start consolidating their time and effort into projects that won't make them 1000x, but will bring society more efficiency and durability, instead of wasting times memeing shi

I was just salty I got down voted or 'Flagged' or whatever. I completely believe the turbo's higher combustion efficiency means higher temp downstream of the >Turbine< Was I pedantic? Yes. Still salty though.

'hot' vs 'hotter'. Unless I'm fundamentally misunderstanding physics, when flowing gasses do work, they decrease in temperature. They might increase in velocity, but they decrease in temperature.

I tend to agree, but not acknowledging how others feel is a one way ticket to no progress. We have a human problem caused by fear, in my evaluation. The solution isn't fear, its something closer to "tricking fearful people into

I acknowledged that this could still be true in my comment, but that I would have to actually do some analysis. However, what the parent comment said is wrong. Your gas is going to lose internal energy to shaft work as it moves through th

Exhaust gas runs through a turbine, hence 'Turbo'. Typically this cools exhaust. Whether or not the higher combustion temperature from the compressed inlet gas makes up for this is not known to me.

To be fair, we know it will be a problem, but we don't know if will actually be a big problem or a small problem. Will we have mass migrations? Total environmental collapse? Deserts everywhere? Or will something bigger than climate

So how do we go back? If our problem is human nature, perhaps we just have to survive long enough, and the human organism will self-correct. I want to overtake small cities and make an escape rout for people who feel trapped in society, li

Uh oh things are not looking good for our fair nation. Fortunately it seems like China isnt doing the best either, but in other ways. Hopefully we fall together.

I thought about this a lot while I was designing my own amateur liquid rocket. You would almost certainly save a lot of money across all launch programs from the payload, just by spending the effort upfront to qualify a new heavy lift syst

Who is going to host the actual content? This seems like a missed opportunity to create a decentralized music hosting platform, where artists get paid in proportion to bandwidth used. Something like file coin.

So why was google more effective before? Is this is product of the financial struggle of our society, or do you believe it is an inevitable consequence of a dominant search engine?

by WhisperingShiba 5y ago
It does give me pause, but do you really think there is no way to have both open algorithm and good results? What is users assessed sites as they used a search engine, and then this was broadcast back to the engine? I have a feeling there

A lot of my comfort with the old way of growing crops comes from the time it took to grow the crop, and see it change slowly over time. The other part of it was that these new human prompted crops were open for people to use, and once you g

Thank you for giving the reduction to absurdity, for the above line of argument.

From what you know off the cuff, do LFP or LTO batteries have advantages in number of cycles or discharge depth? Both of those being even marginally higher would make them superior for home batteries, since the power density wouldn't

I like the energy you are trying to give off, but mentally disabled people don't typically have anti-satellite ballistics. Its a shame that most disabled people are considered scary. I worked with autistic children as as school requi

Did you remove your post on > https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29233852 Or were you removed? I think you are onto something, low key. But it maybe suggesting foul play is grounds for removal on this site now.

Upper Middles selling Upper Middles and Middles fake status symbols, but really elevating the esteem of a singular Upper Middle, and making themselves stand out as fake Upper Middle class. Fascinating meta gameplay here.

I did great in university, learned a lot, did projects, and the cool jobs still feel so far away. I think the best course of action is to just do what you love and find a way to get paid for it later. That's my strategy. I eat beans

Its not at all misleading, you just have a strict view of what it means to give approval.

Just make the bottles stronger. I understand there will be some game theoretic problems with that though, which seems to be a big problem right now...
