No conspiracy of hippies is keeping U.S. nuclear power off the table.
Have you heard what fusion people are saying about fission though? It's almost as bad, as if they don't realize that we needed better-than-fossil yesterday.
Nevermind that you can burn current long-term waste in LIFTR so that it becomes only a minor problem. Reason need not apply.
That is why #lockheed #fission matters. It's political, populist, and a Big Idea which makes small people hiss and bark in fear. I think the Skunworks being in control is the best thing that could happen to fission, because they need and have opsec and lobbyists.
That was always expected. What was unexpected was the cottage industry of investing in indie games and promoting them through back channels.
That is probably what the quinnspiracy is about. GamerGate should be about journalistic ethics.
Simpler, according to 20140301517 that flopsquad found. The magnetic coils remove heat through liquid, and that same liquid is what transfers power.
It appears to be the spiritual successor of the airborne reactor.
If it has a name, it is not AI.
AI is forever at the horizon, but that is also what makes AI research great.
The problem with the haters is that they are irrational. They say and do things by impulse, but provably those impulses seldom come to fruitation. It is an unsightly reminder of the ape-like instincts in man, and it can not be solved by talking about it on the internet.
Journalistic integrity is a completely different class of problem. The problem here is rational people who misuse their intelligence. It is a problem we can do something about. It can be given focus and the correct emotional response and proper action can be recognized, like one would do in group therapy.
Yet, while this therapy is being administered, the session is being interrupted by confused emotional remarks about gender, equality and security. We know that the journalists don't want to participate in 'selling out', but they feel they are in lock-step with what media companies demand from them.
There is a Streisand factor involved too. GamerGate would not get this much attention if it wasn't for the headline-making death threats. - This could have been intentional as the community of game consumers concerned with the integrity of their journalists is thoroughly versed in insidious plots. - If so, we are facing a strange breed of genuine extremists who will resort to emotional blackmail for the purpose of keeping independent game makers on the straight and narrow.
Conventional wisdom says 'follow the money', and in this case there is $60 billion of it annually. By the standards that accompany these figures, it is a good thing no one has actually been murdered yet.
And a prototype by 2017!
This gives me a really good feeling.
Can anyone find the patent applications? I'd like to cross-reference the authors with what's on arxiv.org.
Whatever. I'm interested in journalistic ethics.
"Gamer Gate" is about misrepresenting markting as journalism; and all the evils that walk side by side with marketing types. The triggering for all the outrage, which spilled over from mere complains about ethics to an entire campaign, was this Quinn fellow performing sexual favors for gaming journalists in exchange for good reviews. She did this five seperate times, once with a married man.
Now an entire industry is trying to spin this as a feminist issue, yet getting the actual facts behind this story isn't hard. It is impossible that the outets carrying the story are unaware of what has been going on.
Let that sink in.
Heroin is making money too. What's your point?
China has demonstrated in the past decade that it is capable of making such large-scale changes to its infrastructure. Asking them to do that trick again seems reasonable.
They did incidentally make thorium reactors a national priority a few years ago.

Parents often recognize and complain that they let their emotions rule when their own children were challenged.
They first express your opinion and later regret it.
Does anybody know how the bionic eyes which have been tested do this? Do they attempt to send their entire data stream, or do they know to do this part in silica?
