They (the industry) have been using it and haven't mentioned it, at least Business Insider is admitting it. Anyway putting "AI draft" on an article would result in less readers so its in their financial best interest to use this as much as possible and not admit it.

Well yes, induction requires an area to induct, inverse square law applies etc. You'd have to do this yourself I guess since I'm not going to convince you, I have a proper wok with a small area flat bottom and use it on an induction stove top all the time. You can find videos of wok experts even seasoning a new wok on an induction - https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=uDx9wym1NmM or specific dish https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OuBQywzTO0.

When you cook something at high temperatures you let off particulate.
 
The point is you are putting off less in an enclosed area if you're not burning hydrocarbon based fuel, or are you saying something different that I'm not understanding?

Its actually nitrogen dioxide that is the biggest polluter from gas stoves, though I'm sure it depends on both the purity of the gas and your stove.

I love my induction and won't go back, I can make my coffee in my mokapot in 2 minutes flat and subsidize the cost with solar and still cook a fine hollandaise or use a wok.
 
If you have a gas stove and think there's no pollution, I recommend you get a cheap air quality detection that does PM and TVOC and etc and then tell us there's no pollution.

And this is somehow completely different than the US forcing the regulation and sale of tiktok?
 
Nvidia hasn't sold a whole lot of chips to China (directly) in the last year anyway and it sounds like the bulk of their product are sold to a couple of cloud whales in the US based on their last quarterly. I interpret this as blowback from the Trump Tariff crap fest and tiktok regulation but maybe its more insidious than that, though I can't imagine its more insidious than our Trade Wars 2025.

Sure but why go to college for something 'in demand' when it will make you miserable, or you won't be good at it, or just plain don't like it? We apparently will need less so why *not* just major in something you like? Then start a business with that degree. Anyway I can't tell you how many business people I've met with a 'worthless degree' like English or some other liberal arts major that end up working in Corposphere, because 75% of corpo jobs require *some* degree but not a business degree, unless you want to be Mr(s) Manager one day.
 
Or just start a banana stand or something.

Because they target countries that are not friendly with their own and have a harder time with investigation and extradition? The US Govt doesn't have any agreements with Russian like FACTA and you'll notice that many malware campaigns that originate in the countries you mention specifically and intentionally DO NOT target Russia because their government is complicit, or at least is fine with this activity as long as it increases sovereign wealth or hurts foreign adversaries. The US investigated any cybercrime regardless of whether the target is in your neighborhood or in China or Russia, whereas the opposite is most definitely not true.
 
Its why even today you find a lot more chinese/russian malware than Indian or Indonesian or Pakistan. Nigeria looks the other way when this happens in their own territory unless it makes international waves.

No, I don't think I would be. Perhaps I"m just less racist/culturalist/colonialist and have a different view on Indians I've known and worked with and junior programmers both.

Are you saying Cybercrime is not already wild? If this happened in the USA or in Germany (which it IS happening but not at the same extreme percentage), would you think all the recent college grads/entry level programmers suddenly turn to a life of crime?

Yes, and we saw that recently with the debris from the starship explosion. But with pro-musk forces in the whitehouse all they would need to do is ask and they'd get approval.
 
My point is they *have not asked* and are not even considering this approach for the colonization of Mars, because its not economically viable, regardless of how efficient or faster it is.

Not unless you mean pay for it by paying for payload space or tax credits. Compared to ULA and other companies in the old school military industrial complex they have received almost nothing. Arianespace is also subsidized to be able to operate at a loss, so who cares?

Yes, but if it were cost effective and reasonable you'd see SpaceX doing both research and lobbying efforts to allow private sector organizations like themselves to do this. As our current tech chemical propulsion systems can effectively reach Mars at a reasonable cost with limited risk (and re-usable rockets now), and the cost of fissionable material is an order of magnitude higher than liquid oxygen and kerosene, both of which can be negotiated on an international market or produced in-house, it won't happen until a signficant change happens in either 1) required round-trip-time to Mars or 2) government subsidies specifically for nuclear propulsion. (or 3) catastrophic event on Earth that pushes billionaires to leave our planet).

So not even useful designs yet, just research, which is necessary to move forward I guess. We DO have nuclear propulsion engines that have been fully designed and researched and we aren't even building those as far as I can see. The real key will be if it ever gets cheaper to build and maintain those nuclear engines, since the entire space industry is now being driven by the private commercial sector, which is incredibly risk and cost adverse. Corpo interests would rather the designs be LESS efficient if they were cheaper to build and more reliable to maintain.
