Another thought: Stop installing the first major release. Wait for the suckers to find the bugs. This was true with mainframes in the 80s.  It’s true today. 

Imagine if some future scientist tried to depict 21st century humans based on a DNA sample from a pinky bone in Nepal. Or maybe they would find that pinky bone in the Netherlands.  Can you imagine how wildly different their conclusions would be?

Remember the part where I said beta particles are dangerous if you inhale them or ingest them?  The downside to dumping it into the ocean is that fish ingest them and we eat fish.  That’s why the fishing industry is upset about this plan.  Regardless of whether or not it is enough to matter, nobody will buy fish from…

Initially I thought this was an airtight alibi. But my timeline reconstruction reveals unexplained gaps, Mr. Novak. First of all, no fourteen year old would have tuned in on time on November 8, 1997. The sketches were “Rival Billionaires,” “Fred the Baker,” “Larry King’s Wedding,” “Win a Year with Jewel,” “The…

Yes because it’s in the form of water, and we excrete water. The problem is that if tritiated water gets into a water supply, you are ingesting it constantly.  And it probably won’t kill you, but decades later it will have shortened lives.  That’s why they want to massively dilute it in the ocaean. 

How is that different from “100 years, or about 8 half lives”? 12.3*8 = 98.

Well, the two primary issues with tritiated water are evaporation and seepage into groundwater.  So yes, sequstering tritium in a solid substance is better.

Yes it needs to be good! There are scores of free sources of “meh” content, and at least a dozen streaming services yet to break 1 million paid subscribers.

I think it is. It’s not like algae go running around, getting shot by a hunter and eaten. And tritium does not replicate when cells divide. The goal is to put the tritium in something (dead plant matter) that is easier to store and manage (ie won’t leak into groundwater) for about 100 years (8 half lives, when it is…

If plants sequester carbon in the form of hydrocarbons, then they are bringing hydrogen along for the ride. Seems to me you could create enclosed terrariums of sorts that could sequester the tritium in the form of hydrocarbons, which could then be stored more compactly for however many half-lifes necessary to render…

Check the video. I think NOAA is blinking morse code.

Where does it say that?

An RGB adjustable filament bulb isn’t possible.   The filament is what it is!  The only way to get there is to arrange LEDs in an old-timey shape.

In the old days, when my left handed dad was an architect, all the drafting was done by hand. It was quite a feat to do that without smearing ink.

There is a relationship between handedness and test scores on spatial visualization.  There are decent papers on that.  So your choice of 3d graphics is interesting.

Architects are more than twice as likely to be left-handed.  The working hypothesis is that the hemispheres of the brain are more interconnected, which may make them better suited to a field which combines engineering and art.

Oh an ad hominem attack. Surely that will work!

Your post contradicts itself. They pushed a software update that shortened ABS braking distances. ABS is a safety critical system. A bad software update could cause a brake lockup or failure. Honestly, how much road testing could they have possibly done on the new ABS settings before releasing it? And why on earth did…

The bigger issue here is that Tesla throws out updates without adequate testing.  Then stuff breaks.  How long does the pattern continue before a bug causes a major system to fail, like brakes?

Tesla wants to be a car company, but it acts like a software company.
