You also don't need to go back very far in history to see how white patriarchal empires dominated/shaped most (all?) of these regions and countries for centuries.

No idea. But interestingly enough, it looks like someone built a grid scale version in PA with funds from the 2008 Recovery Act. There's a final tech report here https://www.smartgrid.gov/project/hazle_spindle_20mw

No one has to take anything down. Babcock Ranch weathered Hurricane Ian (cat5) just fine. Didn’t even lose power. Unlike their neighbors. https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/02/us/solar-babcock-ranch-florid...

Definitely agree. I keep seeing sites like this called Brutalist, but they’re more akin to high tech postmodernism. With the closest architectural equivalent probably being the Centre Pompidou. Which is all about exposure of underlying stru

Love this one. There is a similar one in Charlottesville, Va to cross Water Street, which has a delightful southern accent. Pronounces it Wooter and everything :)

Well, that's just the time necessary to action the accounts. You'd still need to hire all of those people, get them equipment and software, pay them, etc. IT, HR, management, payroll. Probably double or triple your man-hours. But

> assess this on a case-by-case basis and pay the rent for people in genuine need I'm not sure you've fully thought through how complex this would be. There are 40 million rental households in the US. Even if only 1% (400,000)

Precisely. Or what if you're some random grandma that has a wallet (since we're living in a make believe world where this is easy to create). Imagine you've forgotten which blockchain your wallet is on. Will there be a search

I honestly thought this was going to be a joke post because that top image is ridiculous. Maybe I'm just old, but it reads to me as Web 1.0: Great Web 2.0: Ugh, ok Web 3.0: You're serious with this?

This. But I'd say don't just donate the whole sum. Talk to whatever accountant you find about creating a foundation and building an endowment. At $20k+ per month in seed you'll quickly ramp up to millions of dollars in the en

You say this as if it's fast or easy. All of these can easily take 10s of years build from conception to completion due to a myriad of reasons. Land acquisition, federal state and local funding, environmental review, court cases, zonin

Second. Not sure how "think" is being defined here, but even for a spatial/temporal sense of self or mortality I'd say that's probably an incorrect statement. Let alone the general notion of thinking. E.g. dogs exhi

Ads aren't the only problem. All the SEO clickbait is worse than the ads in my opinion. I can ignore the ads, but anymore a lot of the time the first page or two of results are just clickbait junk. Look at their example results. #3 loo

Honestly even if all we get out of this is an affordable low-carbon jet engine I'd call it a win. At the end of the day, Tesla is battery company that makes cars. Maybe Boom should try to be a jet engine company that makes planes. edit

I think you're asking the wrong question. Which is probably part of the problem. I know it is at most of the places I've ever had anything to do with. No block of people is homogeneous, but a lot of the time companies think they c

Not a single mention of the carbon footprint of a private jet. This has to be the single most selfish mode of transportation and is essentially inexcusable at this point in history.
