Many Climate Change Think Tanks receive funds from individuals with vested interests in Carbon Trading companies, alternative energy sources, and solar power. Some donations even came from institutions or individuals that receive GRANTS to do Climate Change studies! One person who inherited money from their great grandfather even donated sums while working at a SOLAR PANEL company!

Look, I can write this click-bait with either side of the debate!

Next, you'll tell me that people donate money to the causes they agree with! WHAT A SCANDAL!

What is frightening is this historic post only managed like 60 comments. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

And that, in and of itself, is very sad and telling of the lack of basic education people are getting anymore. I'm Gen-X and went to a private school (after starting in public and our parents seeing how much that system was already failing back in the 1970s) and we did things there like having some basic monetary education in the 8th grade. We were each given a mimeograph (ah, the smell) set of checks, then we each drew our "job" from a random list and had to do simple budgets based on said income. I'll never forget that the Doctor made a "massive" $75k in 1987 (though the values we were using were already quite old).

The problem of corrosion was figured out at the MSRE at ORNL in the 60's using Hatealloy piping for the salt flow.

The real issue with not building them in the U.S. has been the utter fear-mongering around the word "nuclear" and the fact that molten salt reactors can't breed plutonium for nuclear weapons.

From what I can figure, it is LED, individually addressable LED back lighting I think.

Dolby has been developing and pushing this tech for a decade.

One group I work with is communication disfunctional.
  Between slack, DMs in slack (almost any combination of users), slack on laptop, slack on phone, plus email from multiple accounts and FB messages and text messages I will see something but may not be able to respond immediately. Then when I need to respond I have no idea where that message was.

Am I an ID10T? Is there some magic feature I am missing that could integrate all that into one search?

Yep. But for locking a display on a blank wall or talking to a holo avatar at a meeting or text message HUD or working on a CAD part it seems about perfect now.

I checked the Magic Leap. It looks like they help mitigate the FOV issue by wrapping steam punk goggles around to limit your FOV. I need to find a pair of those...

I assume the FOV issue can be fixed by expanding the display size. It just seems like more pixels which can be improved with some moores law. Maybe I am missing something?

Even with HL1 I never noticed the FOV issues. I just liked that I was not getting motion sickness. The stuff I looked at appeared locked in just fine. Maybe I don't focus much outside of my LOS?

Nice comparisons here:

I was fairly impressed with Hololens. I have not managed to get my hands on the Hololens2.

Since HL is AR, most of what you see is reality and just a little bit has to be rendered by the computer. It didn't seem like you would get motion sick that way.

Occulus though is another matter. Just a bit of FPS with total immersion and some difference in movement sets me off. You need some reality to keep your brain from getting confused and upsetting your stomach. The only mechanic I liked was teleport to move like in robo recall.

Mark my words, AR is a game changer. 5-10 years from now we will have low-cost high-res lightweight AR headsets.

The apple remote is so thin it is constantly lost. I almost want to tie it to a tether. I thought about a tile to track it but it is not usually hard to find.

I was not a fan of the swipe touch interface but it has really grown on me a bit. Hey, it removes five buttons (U/D/L/R/Select) so it is cleaner.

I end up using the iPhone remote when I have to but it does not do volume for some of my TVs.

Wife forced me into Apple TV and I am pretty happy with it. Things I wish for still:

Remote beeper (activate from phone) to find remote

Multiple remote (his/hers) with login capability for apps to bypass the who is using step.

A magic app that gives me clean access to all my subscriptions and accounts. Hulu, free youtube, netflix, etc.

BT speaker option when she wants me in silent mode.

Agreed. Without storage, wind and solar are going to eventually bite you in the rear.

Do we want everyone with generators just in case? Or walls of battery backup?

Some risk could be mitigated with low-loss long distance transmission from other regions. But eventually a large area will be hit with cloudy calm days...

At least solar thermal plants can be set up to make steam from biomass or petrochemicals when the sun fails. Fusion plants can't get here soon enough.

You must be new here.

Back in the good old days, the high-quality editors would have dupes on the same day, not months apart.

I swear I saw a "trupe" (tripe?) triple-posted article, all simultaneously on the front page once.

Wine can be awesome when it works. I remember getting it to run some stuff back in the 90s but the UI was usually fouled up.

I moved to VMware to ensure compatibility but it was usually slow.

Eventually, I sold out and run Windows but live in a cygwin shell 95% of the time.
