I wonder what kind of income distribution people saying phrases like that have in their heads?

... determined by the amount of time we can devote to consume things.

That's a fixed price scenario. We already pay that to ISP. ISP should pay the share of ISP fee we are paying to content providers based on the number of views.

There is no such right. Quebec is not a person and stop the sinecdoches

College should explicitly be about hearing about things you "don't want to hear about."

No.

high school graduate numbers expected to decline starting next year after reaching a record high in 2024

This is only a beginning

We will play something else.

Just for solar you would need to cover an area equivalent to the size of Spain and that just meets the current needs if you want storage you need to increase that to fill the storage. Then what's the environment impact for all those batteries? The super conducting thing that doesn't exist won't be available before Fusion comes on line commercially. I'll put a long bet on that.

You can blame the Merkie government for their deference to Russian gas for the lack of nuclear power in Germany. Fukushima was just a convenient excuse. It's also a pipe dream to think we can run the world on solar and wind alone, the physical environment just won't allow it.

Not intelligence. Very well developed intuition, capable of transforming vast amount of data used to train the network into hints, brainstorming, fantasies, ideas, that often work as is without even next , filtering, stage.

We should be surprised of how well this artificial intuition is producing correct answers.

I asked ChatGPT4o to summarize:

Measured Arsenic Levels in Rice Samples (from the study):

Under current climate conditions, the average concentration of inorganic arsenic in rice grains was about 0.15 mg/kg (150 ppb).
Under simulated mid-century climate conditions (higher temperature and COâ), it increased to 0.225 mg/kg (225 ppb), a 50% rise.

Current Regulatory Standards for Inorganic Arsenic in Rice:

U.S. FDA:

Infant rice cereals: max 100 ppb

No federal limit for general rice consumption

European Union:

White (polished) rice: max 200 ppb

Brown rice: max 250 ppb

Rice-based foods for infants/young children: max 100 ppb

Codex Alimentarius (FAO/WHO):

Polished rice: max 200 ppb
