The headline oversimplifies, it is more accurate to say the ice generates a voltage. It's an interesting phenomenon but not revolutionary enough to solve the world's energy problems.

Generative AI can be a huge timesaver but the people doing the task need to actually know how to do the task, if only so they can provide reasonable instruction to the computer. All these get-rich-quick clowns falling on their faces are trying to shortcut years of knowledge and experience. Knowing excel really well does not make one an accountant. And this is compounded by the fact that excel gives predictable output, which is not the case with generative AI.

GE already has a 68.7m 2-piece blade for several years now.

Well I have some bad news for you, GE already has a 68.7m 2-piece blade for several years now.

Customers don't like it at all but it seems to be OK. The 68.7 blade (including the single piece version) has some other issues but the connection hasn't been particularly troublesome, all things considered.

Scientists have found that a drug known to have profound effects on the brain can have profound effects on how people think and behave. That's not surprising in the least. Psychedelics were the most promising mental health treatments ever when they were discovered, psychiatrys equivalent of insulin and penicillin. Then research was shut down for over 60 years because some people enjoyed overdosing them for fun. It's no surprise to me that LSD and other drugs still do "things" to people and some of those things can be beneficial.

The program runs ads on their podcasts which are downloaded in other countries. I can't be bothered to VPN my way out of it I'm sure this at least covers server costs and a bit more.

Lead times for large gas turbines are longer than 3 years now. Projects are now being planned for construction in the early 2030s. Not so simple. Residential customers will suffer (they already have) with high bills as the big data centers continue to pay much lower industrial rates.

The EPA would be the biggest applicable one. If there were "adversarial" foreign investors or equipment suppliers, particularly Chinese ones, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) can get involved, but less than 5% of projects fall under this. Probably more like 1-2%, this generally has only happened when Enercon makes attempts to gain market share.

The wind blows everywhere. The simplest example is that Texas is #1 for wind power in the US, by a lot. The only West Coast state in the top 10 is California at number 8. The middle part of the country still has vast tracts of land with economical wind potential. Wind farms are typically constructed on farmland or ranchland, the corn and the cows don't care a bit. I've seen plenty of farmers even plant right across access roads, although this is probably from laziness more than a planned business practice. The largest projects might physically occupy 50 or so acres within a boundary of 8,000 to 30,000 acres. The argument that somehow this is causing a run on land is pure fiction.

If you're tall, the exit rows can be great. If you're not, you should be aware that the seat cushions are almost always thinner and less comfortable compared to other seats. Exit row seats also typically do not recline, or do not recline as much as other seats. Exit row is among the least comfortable seats if you are a normal size person. The row in front of exit row usually has many of the same problems but without the extra leg room.

There's little reason to provide contact information for individuals on a public website. A contact form or general inbox address reduces problems significantly. I work in a business sector where individual reputation matters- where my picture is on the company website. But nobody has their number or email address posted. It's just asking for spam and other problems.

It's a little weird Apple chose a worse redesign instead of just steamrolling the problem with money like they always do.

I'm no fan of trump but there's nothing in that controversy that will hurt Trump. Trump has never been a top name in the story. Even if there is damning evidence, which I doubt, he will be dead before anything comes of it.

The lightning is a great work crew truck. The range is plenty for taking a crew from a depot to a job site, and you don't need to bring a generator because the truck can power all the tools and charge cordless batteries. The problem is mainly charging infrastructure, for companies that lease their vehicles and facilities the chargers are an upfront investment at a property they may not even own.
