What's scary is that you don't realize the Facebook move is about marketing demographics and instead need to fight a social battle for equal treatment of women (SJW), without any irony.

Here, I'll quote 1/6th of the article: In a conventional chip, the support substrate is made of the same material as the active layer, but in the CNF chip, only the active layer is semiconductor material, Zhenqiang “Jack” Ma, a UW-Madison electrical and computer engineering professor who led the team, said via email. “If commercializing the wooden chips, tremendous material cost will be saved,” Ma said. “We actually reduced the use of semiconductor material by 99.9 percent.”

Yes, and silica requires literally 1000 times more of that gallium arsenide than cellulose nanofibril for the production of a chip.

Who's saying that? Did you read the article?

A normal suburban house may not get you much money. It may not be something people would watch excavated on Time Team. But to an archeologist, an average house is usually one of the things most cherished. That said, fifty years is just a minimum time to be considered historic legally. We're not going to preserve most antique houses, much less beer tabs. Simply, we wouldn't even consider the possibility earlier. It's a good time to start considering if something should be preserved, with an perspective decently removed from the present but still likely to exist (which is a useful feature for preservation).

I hope you realize the subject was "undocumented extensions of species in the present era". Poe's law already? Slashdot is quick.

I'm very glad it won't be too soon. Everyone asks "Where's my flying car?" but not "Wouldn't it be nice if we lived at an airport and everywhere else were also an airport?"

Your post was beautiful, with a child's sense of wonder carried into adulthood. It's a fascinating world and there are many things to do. However, interacting with someone's lovingly crafted virtual artifice could easily be an experience on par with digging up crap in the cracks of a sidewalk. Variety is the spice of life.

This conversation clearly wasn't talking about the Mustang noise but noise added to nearly silent electric vehicles. These are still quieter than conventional combustion engines are now. It would reduce the number of people bludgeoned and smeared on the pavement so I'm sure your fail ears can manage.

Which sex is responsible for the vast majority of crime? Which sex has the most deadbeat fathers? I'm reasonably confident you're male because women don't post like this, statistically. Were you born a deviant creature? Black people scored much worse in the 1970s than white people and the gap has been closing. Are their genes adapting at an incredible rate? Since there are many black people far smarter than you or me, it's clear environment is far more important than genes. So, how do you think a racist environment affects children? You don't want to make anything better, but you could.

Oh, wait, I see there's a PDF there too. Sorry, I might have made an incorrect conclusion but I'm not really feeling like reading that PDF with its handwriting or font is not appealing to me at the moment.

You seem to think Dijkstra wrote the article. He was just the one who made the first quote. The article was written by Loup Vaillant.
