Good question I think. Norman Borlaug was known for transforming places with food importers into food exporters. And to ask the question again occasionally makes sense. In recent history we are exploring the idea of vertical gardening etc.

I was wondering too, if maybe under the right conditions, humidity sensors could trigger polarization of the glass surface followed by opposite polarization could potentially rid the surface of at least some of the dust. Some ionizing devic

I wonder if there is a common substance that could be scanned for historical interactions - like some salt flats.. that might preserve, like film, a history of energetic anomalies.

Eventually medical science is going to arrive at methods that have potential to cure/create disease, novel organisms, synthetic organisms, etc. I don't think we want these methods pursued in a geopolitical vacuum either - like an

It doesn't have a linux version, so unless you're a gamer it's not worth the effort to get it running unless something has changed... Last time I found it easier to just download the UE5 source to mess around with it. Afterwa

What becomes of the satellite powder, do they seed clouds, reflect sunlight, etc. Especially to consider the question of maximum capacity.

I'm still reading this recent bulletin article about tDCS - turning that journalist into a sharpshooter and after seeing this: "She said those people have this overactive angry cortex guy just sitting there. When you apply the ele

There was a trimmer potentiometer one could adjust until errors would occur and then turn back just a little that would result in a speed increase. It may have been the motor speed I can't remember.

Not to be a GNU/Linux instigator but I remember when I first read the GPL how strange it was to have a legal document to give something away it seemed like a impish prank - will someone take it and insist you stop giving it away, or su

There is an IRL series. I just got some IRL540N's https://learnarduinonow.com/2017/06/02/logic-level-mosfets-i... But I got arduinos to go with them because I doubt they will work directly from an esp. I

I know this is overly tangential, sorry.. there are xr mechanisms with varying degrees of linearity, molecular 'handednesses', and recently I wanted to try these eye drops to replace reading glasses and stumbled onto this fraction

I've always wondered why governments can't run social networks for giving voice/reputation to citizens weighing in on current issues to give rise to a phenomenon similar to the net in the Ender's Game books that gave voi

I learned chess late and enjoy playing it, through mistakes, at a different pace... so, in spite of the numerous headlines, I don't get it. Competitively, cheating should be meaningless - and/else what kind of society has people p

I don't think of our memory as a storage device, but more like a compression algorithm, that forgetting is important. We don't need to memorize several math textbooks to know algebra - if you can generalize the quadratic equation,

A social network is like a mirror - we run to the next one apalled at ourselves figuring it out in every stage of life all at once. It's ok, soon it will be normal
