Ah, another oldie! Came here looking for this. :)

What is the estimated mass of the opening?
What parts of this historical tale are shocking?
Why, oh why, did jaws drop?

Where are these people educated now? MIT, CalTech, various UC, GA Tech, UT, other UT, etc. How can he reduce the influence of these institutions?

Now, not even the fastest human can outrun the [kill]bots.

Other required optimizations... The rescue mission would have put off concerns about the probability of surviving debris hitting anyone on the ground. Space telescopes often have large, temperature-stable components that tend to survive reentry. X-ray telescope mirrors are particularly interesting.

I see where this is going.

Smartest Man In The Room: Hey AI, I wanna rattle Putin's chain. Go rattle his chain for me.
AI: Bear baiting? OK...
AI: ...done!
SMITR: Great! Maybe Kim now?
SMITR: Hey AI, what's that vibration?
AI: Those are called "P Waves". Shall I describe P-waves?
SMITR: Nah, what's Kim doing now?

T-Mobile: The phone service you inherit from your parents!

Agreed. The training is in how to mark and handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII). The properly-named file "CUI_PotentialEvacuees_containsCUI-PII.xlsx" is much less likely to get accidentally released ("published").
Also, who wants to spin up a secure database, and reporting interface, for a one-off contact list? Apparently, a lot of commenters would do...

Just curious since I don't have solar or battery but like the idea... Did you greatly oversize your system? Is your worst case usage significantly higher than your typical usage?

Is scientific research catching up to industry or did I miss something? I tried a Mosquito Magnet over 20 years ago. It even came with "octenol" packets. It didn't do much to decrease the mosquitos in my yard, so I returned it. They do warn that performance varies with environment and mosquito species.

A sea-surface heater that offers its victims compute cycles... The Venusians are diversifying in the face of solar and EV sales.

This garden product costs almost twice as much as the plain cinder block. Pretty neat, though. They sell a package of blocks and 2-by lumber to piece together into a bench.

I was hoping this was related to Robertson & Tran, as seen on The Henry Ford's Innovation Nation with Mo Rocca, April 2016. Lots of other stuff on the 'Tube.

I uses AI. It's exactly how McCoy located Ben Finney. Exactly.
