What is specifically stopping Uber from providing an autonomous driver service so hard to warrant being classified as a pipedream event?

Yes, exactly like that, but instead of using a sarcastic tone, use a matter of fact tone. "You want A game or you want THE game?" Maybe add a slide showing how much concentrated toward the very best game revenues are.

Yeah, the missing key is seeing power and energy as money, because that's essentially how our economy works. We can convert one in the other, at different conversion rates granted, but still. Energy input cost is a line in every compan

Oxidizing carbon fuels is a irreversible process, meaning an increase in entropy. Dispersion of CO2 in the atmosphere also increases entropy. We will always, 100% of the times, expend more energy to reverse a irreversible process than we co

By benefit I mean the energy effectively extracted from the oxidation of carbon.

It would. By simple thermodynamics we can be 100%, not 99%, 100% sure, that the energetic cost of removing CO2 from the freaking atmosphere is higher than the benefit of putting it there in the first place.

The challenge of using synthesized chemicals for energy storage exists for quite some time indeed. For aviation and marine there may be no other option outside of synthetic fuels, I agree. Can this scale up? Or is this a small scale only so

Let's be reasonable here, mantle and nucleus iron don't matter to this analysis. Crust iron is all oxide. Fe at 5% average. In some locations obviously more concentrated up to 90% ore. Not all sites are viable for mining, and this

If using Fe why not iron batteries? Keep the redox, remove the energy from the system via eletrical current instead of low efficiency heat, boiler and steam engine combo.

>Earth is a big ball of iron. No it's not. Inside the crust both Si and Al are more common. There is plenty of Fe, which is all in oxide form. Mining and processing required.

To illustrate the problem of accelerating any relevant piece of mass at relativistic speeds, observe how the kinetic energy increases towards infinity as the object approaches the light speed: https://files.mtstatic.com/site

I will never condemn caution, even more so for financial systems. International institutions such as the Bank of International Settlements have recognized PIX as a successful case: https://www.bis.org/publ/bisbull52.htm

A central payment system is absolutely not a tool of oppression. Case in point: don't like it? Don't use it. People are still free to not use it just like it even didn't exist. For everyone that chooses to, there is now an in

Important comment: PIX is not a bank killer and isn't designed this way. Banks still exist in Brazil and they rake in pornographic profits just like everywhere else. The absolute majority of the banks profits here does not comes from p

Brother fckn nazis taking the government is a much bigger systemic problem that no financial system can protect against. The system works if democracy works. If we lose democracy, of course, the blocks built on top of it would crumble. That

There is an option: a direct payment system provided by the Central Bank to the general public. In Brazil it is called PIX, and was implemented in 2020. Last month it has processed more than 3 million operations. Works 24/7, 0 fees to

If a $3 bi product relies on not allowing people to make mistakes then their owner isn't allowed to complain when it inevitably fails.

The way I see this, the real problem isn't millionaires being posh, but rather products and services not scaling proportionally to the carbon bill. It's cheaper to be dirty yet we still take showers. Maybe it's time to clean

Wrong. In a high inflation economy, salaries lags behind prices increases. This is because revenue of companies typically follow inflation indexes with a much shorter delay. First the workers need to feel they are getting shafted and this t
