it has no code explorer, showing you the function names

go and look at the PICTURE on TFA and you will see they want to make 35GWh/yr (35 GIGAWATT HOURS PER YEAR) of cells by 2020. So Gigafactory is quite appropriate.

during the impact.

because the annihilation particles are all well known and have MUCH less energy than these particles.

lots of chemicals are used in making/etching circuit boards and then there is the tin&flux in solder. I am sure they have very clear smells.

Bees need to fly twice around the word (50,000 miles) and visit 2.6 million flowers to make 1 pound of honey.
Your robots are not coming to save us any time soon.

They have just found a cheap way to crack NH2 to N2 and H2 and are excited about that in combo with simpler fuel storage and transport - they are not focusing on the energetics of H2 or NH3 generation with the Haber-Bosch process here.
The point here is that to store Hydrogen you need 10,000 psi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_storage#Compressed_hydrogen) and Ammonia only needs 250 psi in a plastic container (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia#Storage_information).
They are looking at the following problem
H2O+Energy->H2->H2-Storage->FuelCell->Electricity+H2O
and have worked out that they can do
H2O+Energy->H2,+N2+Energy->NH3->NH3-Storage->H2 +N2 without NOx->FuelCell->Electricity +H20
and what they are excited about is that NH3 storage and transport is a known and solved problem industrially and NH3 cracking is now cheap and clean. Now someone just needs how to work out H2O->H2->NH3 using solar and the problem is solved.

There is also the other issue that a H2 leak is benign or a quick fireball and that an NH3 leak will eat the noses and lungs of everyone nearby.... http://www.wral.com/ammonia-le...

Going to Mars won't save humanity, but working out how to live away from Earth could, even if that means learning on Mars how to live under the Earth to survive the 1450's imps, 1950's Apocalypse Godzillas and 2010's Biotech Zombies...

If the emoji are standardized in Unicode, then it will be easier for any kind of software to support them.

Why don't they get honest and say "Smelting aluminium at 960 degrees".

Look at Safety Advantage #11 Destruction of existing long lived wastes in LFTR What is wrong with my periodic table?

exactly, burn it all in the Thorium reactors to come.

NASA is focusing on research and new tech as it should and Starshade is an excellent example.
NASA shouldn't do an orbital shipyard and asteroid hauling - that is engineering - let SpaceX and Google do that in private enterprise.

it's no parlour trick. For tasks like navigating down through an xml file, parsing boolean phrases like "a and (c or (d xor e)))", searching a folder system, navigating a tree, implementing Qucksort Algorithm, Towers of Hanoi, giving change with coins, etc have NO STACK OVERFLOW issues
Show me smarter ways of solving these problems.
A while loop can have a stack overflow if you forget to increment a counter. That's just bad programming - it doesn't mean a while loop is bad.
