Comment Re:Centralized Energy Industry (Score 1) 94

oh you think the global internet including your local cell tower isn't powered by power grid? You're funny.

No, most American will not benefit from solar array at home, only heavy government subsidies make you think that. Over half the nation are in poor location for solar power.

We have the very necessary power industry to power our civilization, solar can't do it alone. When grid fails of course the industry loses money, not just all woes pushed on the consumer. Hence they restore power quickly

Even considering industrial scale solar to home solar, it's a lot less efficient and more expensive to "distribute panels and energy storage", at home costs twice as much as commercial.

This green hippie notion of every home needing a panel is just romantic bs.

Nonsense.

70 percent of the volume of antibiotics used in animals are ionophores and tetracyclines. Ionophores arenâ(TM)t used in humans at all, and tetracyclines have 4 percent human usage rate.

73 percent of the antibiotics used in humans are from 3 classes and have only 10 percent use rate in farm animals: penicillin, cephalosporin and sulfa.

The CDC has identified the biggest threats from antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and zero of those are related to farm animals. On CDC list with less urgent threats, only two out of 18 involve bacteria associated with farm animals.

In short, antibiotics in farming isn't the problem

Comment Re:Estimates based on conjecture (Score 1) 173

Your assertion that this information is actionable is totally unsupported by any evidence.

Only by any evidence you have seen. Which seems to be none at all, as you so conveniently state. And that is because you have not looked. Really, all you are doing is showing how incapable you are.

What stupid-ass summary is that? What you should not do is predict a technology will be useful "soon" when all the evidence says otherwise. For QCs, if they scale linearly (they likely do much worse), they will be a problem for current encryption around the year 4000 or so. There is nothing wrong with running Physics experiments. But you need to see them as what they are.
