Re: the quantum computing revolution remains as remote and uncertain as it has ever been.

Is this a reference to non-locality of quantum effects and uncertainty principle?

Considering that I am a typical human, I would say pretty much anything can beat humans at deciphering damaged ancient Greek tablets

They used term 'prove'. Does it still have the same meaning nowadays as when I went to college?

Re :No, drones didn't attack. People (likely Iran, quite possibly without even bothering to use their proxies) attacked, and they used drones to do it. Drones were the tools, not the attackers.

Is that another "guns don't kill, people kill" bullshit? Sorta "if drone bombers are outlawed then only outlaws will have them"?

"Drones attack, "tanks attack", "bombers attack", "guns kill" are all legitimate phrases in English Language and anyone with a half brain understands them as a figure of speech, not as a revolution of AI or something like that.

Time to update the list of Human firsts in space.

Not only can they stop buying US bonds, they can also start selling their current holdings to third parties effectively reducing global demand and increasing global supply of the US bonds, thus driving their value down, thus increasing interest rates US is paying for their debt, thus making it harder for US to refinance the debt and causing US lose their AAAAAAAA+++++ rating, thus further increasing global financial crisis.

You keep using the term A[rtificial] I[ntelligence]. I do not think it means what you think it means

Is that really hard to say 100 meters is diameter?

Re: It's a crime for a Chinese citizens (not related to central committee members) to move more than about 50k$US out of China per year. Bitcoin is one way around this bad law.

It is in eye of a beholder. When an individual withdraws large chunk of money, it seems innocent. When a lot of customers do so, it is a run on a bank, which requires protection against for the sake of stability of economy.

Yeah, next thing we find out is that Proxima Centauri is not the closed star to us at all...

Re :which would have been Westinghouse's bid should they have been allowed to play

You are saying this as if they were not allowed to participate for political reasons or something. Believe me, Westinghouse was considered and rejected purely due to economic reasons and all the technological issues that plagued Westinghouse's projects ever since they tried to implement their 3-D animations in real world.

Besides, how can we be so sure that this is the first extinction caused by a species? What if dodos together with other birds got away with the extinction of dinosaurs? Just because no witnesses of the dinocide(*) survived, does not mean it didn't happen.

(*) I hope it is not too early to joke about that tragic event.

30 kWh diesel generator burns 9 liters of diesel per hour .

1 liter of diesel is 835 grams, 720 grams of carbon and 115 grams of hydrogen

Burning 115 grams of hydrogen results in 115 * 9 ~ 1 kg of water vapor.

Thus 30kWh diesel generator in effect generates 9 liters of water vapor per hour or about 220 liters of water vapor per day just by burning the fuel.
