He wants to create something that even his god couldn't get done.

I don't dispute that there may be scenarios where driving oneself is a few minutes faster under ideal circumstances, but speed isn't everything.

(car crash due to reckless driving caused by extreme stress (own child is in severe distress)) < (EMT in 30 mins maybe)

FYI

Firstly, I doubt that this EU regulation will be apply to Wyoming, but maybe I underestimate the power of EU regulations. Secondly, you're still not allowed to break the speed limits in emergencies, and thirdly, I fail to see how someone driving from A to B illegally breaking the speed limit is faster than someone driving from B to A, legally breaking the speed limit and having right of way and all kinds of signals to ensure that right of way. Even in Wyoming.

At least in Austria, unless you have a special driving license, are in a vehicle with flashy blue (!!) lights and a two-tone siren, and have those on, you are not allowed to exceed the speed limit, even in emergency situations. In practice it is almost always better to have an emergency doc come to you (because they or their driver gave all that), but even then, it is the ability to get right of way everywhere that reduces the travel time, and not going over the speed limit.

True enough, but there are some places in the world where there is already a surplus of renewable energy, such as Iceland. Since in the "global west" the market is responsible for allocating most of the money, it will go to where profit is suspected. Not sure how such a plant would reap a profit, probably through offsetting carbon taxes, but enough people seemed to believe in it enough to fund the whole thing. It would be different if only public money would be spent on a project like this. There are indeed better places to spend it.

"Luckily" CO2 pollution isn't a localized but a world wide problem. So, for this kind of application, you have to put it where you can get cheap renewable energy to run, which is exactly the opposite of the places where most CO2 pollution is generated. If you put it in China then it would be, at least indirectly, powered by electricity generated by coal, because any investment into renewable energy to power this vacuum would not be invested into replacing non-renewable energy sources. Not emitting CO2 in the first place is a much better strategy in all aspects, so these kinds of plants should only be put where renewable energy is abundant.

It saves the photos locally and they can be downloaded with a phone. The identification feature is fully built in and doesn't require an internet connection. It's just the Merlin app with all packages included. I couldn't find out how exactly the camera connects to the phone, but I doubt it is through the internet, given that it features a live view features. I suspect it will speak over Wifi directly to the phone. Here is a short and to the point demonstration video: https://youtu.be/Cm7ITkkppg8?s...

Firstly, it is barely more expensive then their non-smart product. The bird identification functions is certainly not the most important feature there. It can also take photos, live stream the view to a phone and a bunch more things.

Doesn't matter if the outcome is real or not, both actions are are done in order to make some people feel better. In case of the ashes it is probably only a handful people. I suspect the real reasons why the ashes get preferential treatment is because they generate some income for NASA, because someone paid to get them sent to the moon,

Many comments here to suggest that it is irrational and backwards for the Navajos to protest the perceived desecration of the moon, without realizing that wanting to put human remains of the moon is equally or even more irrational and backwards. You can't have it both ways, if you are against the religious feelings of the Navajos jeopardizing the mission, you also have to be against this rather bizarre burial ritual.

I was recently shopping for a new phone and would have bought, but they still don't offer an option for wireless charging. I used to have a FairPhone 1 and 2 already.

And EVs are the only one that can keep most automakers in business. The better alternative is public transport, which is an even bigger shift.

Since this is Europe, I am pretty sure having one is mandated by law, even in the UK. I further bet, since this was a rental, the driver did not take the time to familiarize himself with the controls of the car. It was in a rental car where I experienced my first electrically operated e-brake. When I was ready to drive off, I reached for the lever in the center of the car only to notice there wasn't one. Had to go back into the shop to ask where the e-brake was. It was slightly embarrassing, but they happily gave me the information how it works and after some time of getting used to it, I loved it. This was an ICE car btw. Now I own an electric car myself and before going on my first trip I RTFMed how the lever-less e-brake can be manually engaged, even though it reliably automatically engages for standard situations (aka "parking").

I would be more interested to know why there are still NFTs valued that high!

"use of huge presses with 6,000 to 9,000 tons of clamping pressure" doesn't sound quiet to me at all!
