I’m actually a big fan of internet augmented physical locations. I think that online social markets, along with brick and mortar shops, are a great combination.

I’m not sure if I want to be dependent on labs for food. Also, without the need for pigs, in term of food production, how long will it be, before pigs become an endangered species?

Before people continue to claim that his idea is incredibly stupid, that’s exactly what chemotherapy is: kill the cancer with poison, before the poison kills you.

If you’re using a M$ product and think that you’re maintaining your privacy, then it’s your own fault.

Sorry. Accidental duplicate.

There are a few issues with your statement, not the least of which is the idea that chimps are somehow inferior to humans.

Sure, but still, the further out you go, the more difficult things become. We’ll see how much this sucker costs, and what safety measures are put in place.

Note that it says the full span is 1200ft. That makes sense. You don’t have the blades attached at the center. You have them attached at the end.

Actually that’s bull sh*t. There are absolutely bird strike problems.

Yes; we do. But there are only a few trunk lines. They’re also not high voltage lines. They’re fiber-optic cables.

Out in open sea? It can’t be too far out. Remember, you have to access the electricity produced. You also have to anchor the sucker.

Yes; the segmented design is smart. It’s essentially based off of the way grass is so durable. But a ton of metal debris, floating around off the coast, is pretty dangerous.

The blades themselves are 650ft long. There’s no discussion on height, but I’d imagine that it’s gotta be at least 1,000 ft tall.

I can imagine the damage this thing would do, if it’s taken out by an exceptionally powerful storm. They better design it properly.

“This has to be the most unusual Kit Kat flavor yet.”

Again, physicists have discovered many phases of matter. Technically plasma is still a gas, if you follow the idea that a gas is compressible fluid and the idea that a fluid takes the shake of its container.

I have no fucking clue what this has to do with “tech” and other related “Gizmodo topics”, but whatever. The movie is one of the best movies I’ve watched, ever.

Infinitesimals and limits were well known, long before Newton and Leibniz, but it wasn’t formalized until those two came along, at least as far as we know.

Kind of like that episode of Futurama, with the “what-if” machine...

I would think that a water purification system, along with refillable containers, would be the best solution for now.
