  • It No Longer Seems Possible ‘Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League’ Will Last The Year

  • Have you seen the steam stats? Very few people played this game.

  • No, electric vehicle sales aren’t dropping. Here’s what’s really going on

    Jump

  • GM had record sales figures, just before they filed for bankruptcy. The problem with the car industry is that if you're willing to sell at a loss, any level of sales can be achieved. But that is not a viable business. In reality, too many car companies are selling BEVs at a loss. This will have consequences soon.

  • There is some Tesla brigade working hard to remove everything from the internet that makes them look bad.

    Jump

  • Tesla is a massive stock pumping Ponzi scheme that just happens to have a poorly ran car company attached to it. People need to realize what the goal of Tesla marketing is really about. It will be remembered as one of the great investment scams of our time.

  • In the end, the solution will be to just ban most firearms and make it nearly impossible to get one outside of specific circumstances. It's the same way gun violence was stopped in every country, and the rhetoric against that is the same broken record for 30+ years.

    Eventually, the concept of a "right to mass-murder/terrorism" will self-destruct, no matter how deeply embedded it is in legal the system. Even the constitution will eventually self-destruct if it gets too far away from meeting the necessities of modern life, something it is well on the path to doing so. So it's time to stop pretending there is a trick solution to the problem, and start recognizing the problem exactly as it is.

  • Waymo arson in San Francisco sparks new debate on self-driving cars

    Jump

  • The solution is to eliminate self-driving cars and instead invest more in mass transit and walkable neighborhoods.

  • Dude, where’s my self-driving car? The many, many missed deadlines for a fully autonomous vehicular future.

  • No one has ever explained how the energy is suppose to come back to Earth in a non-crazy fashion. Until then, this will always come off as an impossible idea.

    Most Americans Wary of Self-Driving Cars as Trust in Tesla Wanes: Study

  • Hard Science Futurism: What types of theoretical prefabricated materials would the first stellar generation ship carry to construct an O'Neil cylinder upon arrival?

    Jump

  • Then you'll have to deal with Lunar gravity, which may be unacceptable for long durations. Humans may have to live in giant space stations if we want to live in space. And since they can be truly massive, it may be more desirable than what some might think.

  • China is merging hundreds of small banks to fend off financial stress

    Jump

  • It could mirror the economic stagnation of Japan that begun in the 1990s. Very similar set of circumstances.

  • Hard Science Futurism: What types of theoretical prefabricated materials would the first stellar generation ship carry to construct an O'Neil cylinder upon arrival?

    Jump

  • Yes, that's the point. It's far beyond the actual city of Tokyo in terms of construction difficulty and scale. But it doesn't need any new technologies to be invented to be doable. Just the ability to build on that scale.

  • Hard Science Futurism: What types of theoretical prefabricated materials would the first stellar generation ship carry to construct an O'Neil cylinder upon arrival?

    Jump

  • This is sci-fi stuff. No one is seriously saying we could build this anytime soon. It will require a radical advancement in space travel capability. But the interesting part of this is that it doesn’t any new technology. It needs only the technology that we currently have, just scaled up massively.

    As it is an O’Neill cylinder, the raw material needs will be truly huge. We’re literally building a city on the scale of Tokyo but in space. So we are just assuming that someday, we can move around that amount of stuff in space.

  • Hard Science Futurism: What types of theoretical prefabricated materials would the first stellar generation ship carry to construct an O'Neil cylinder upon arrival?

    Jump

  • The cheapest materials would be what can be acquired in space without having to launch from Earth. As a result, you're going to want to build your O'Neill cylinder out of some combination of iron, aluminum, titanium, and silicon dioxide.

    The last of which might be particularly useful, as it is the main ingredient of fiberglass while also being the most common substance on Moon and asteroids. As a result, you probably want to build your cylinder primarily out of fiberglass. You can get pretty decently sized cylinders, as fiberglass has a higher strength-to-weight ratio than steel. Apparently, 24km diameter is a viable figure. Scale up length the same way, and you'll get 96km. So a 24km x 96km O'Neill cylinder made out of fiberglass.

    That would be about 7238 km2 of usable surface area. Half that to 3619 km2 to make room for windows (as originally envisioned by O'Neill), and assuming a density comparable to New York City (about 11,300 people/km^2), you'll get around 40 million people. Or about the population of Tokyo.

    That's seems plenty for any sensible space colonization strategy we might adopt in the future. And what's best is that you don't really need any fancy technology. Just use solar power to power mass drivers and deliver raw materials from the moon or asteroid via electricity. And it won't be any special materials either. Raw regolith can be made into fiberglass, so cost can be kept surprisingly low. The only question is scaling it all up, which may unfortunately be too expensive or will take a very long time to happen. Ultimately, this is still sci-fi, albeit on the hard side of it, since no fancy new technology is require.

  • America Is Missing Out on the Best Electric Cars: Whatever kind of EV you might want, chances are China has it.

    Jump

  • You’re better off spending it on stuff like mass transit and the like. It won’t just all disappear at some point in the future.

  • America Is Missing Out on the Best Electric Cars: Whatever kind of EV you might want, chances are China has it.

    Jump

  • You won't be saying that once the market crashes. You'll realize that there are much better ways of spending that money. Like far more practical emissions reducing solutions.

  • America Is Missing Out on the Best Electric Cars: Whatever kind of EV you might want, chances are China has it.

    Jump

  • Not really. It's mainly about gaining market dominance on a technology they think is the future. They'll build them right next to the massive coal plant alongside a million other things they're subsidizing.
