The UK actually has a king, by design; the US not so much.

Topics that do not have much to do with each other at the moment.

Probably humanoid robots, it's already happening in China:

It will cure cancer. In combination with robotics it will make personalized cancer treatments based each person's tumor genome. Basically once you have a few biopsies of a person's cancer, you can determine what proteins, DNA, and RNA are aberrant and design a treatment against that.

Zero crashes on my Macs since 10 years or more.
5 blue screens on my Windows 11 acer last 28months.
Minimum 10 times "windows discovered a problem, and needs to reboot now", often by two or even three reboots in a row.
Not even telling what the problem is ... might be ... could be.

How do you come to 10x when you have on one side zero crashes and on the other side 2 dozens, depending how you count ... well, I guess someone rounded zero up to 2, or something.

Well, when I read it was all pounds, in Europe, I wondered how much that is in kg. As I am lazy, I just divided by 2 ... but the result was a kind of odd number, so I lost a few bits of accuracy.

Then, considering that this is at the Swizz and German border, I wondered if they used forced workers, like the many refugees to get the container on the truck!

I am relieved to read, they used a crane!!

Now I only have to figure what exactly -half a thousand degrees Fahrenheit is. I guess I can google for an AI to find that out.

They created fusion.
At least they claim so.
It is clear from the article.

And they are not the only ones. We have plenty of definitely non scam fusion companies that do fusion.

The question is will it once be commercial viable.

NASA tested solar sails just recently: https://www.nasa.gov/smallspac...

Well, the JPL has the Vasimr drive, a plasma engine.
They are working to "upgrade" it into a fusion drive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

However regarding the upgrade to fusion they are pretty silent since a decade!!

Some key researchers founded their own company: Ad AStra.

The key researcher a female Ph. whose name I forgot, vanished from publications.

So no idea what is going on there. No idea actually if JPL is still involved.

Fact is they have a working - pretty nicely working - plasma engine. Since over 20 years. I guess there is again some big industry in the US who wants that project to fail. For what ever reason.

The magnetic field is not really a problem.

The people who did more math on it, I read around 2010 about some scientests/sf authors, figured the vacuum outside of solar systems symply is not dense enough in hydrogene.

It might - just slightly - be possible to have a drive based on fusion and hydrogen capture inside of a solar system. Question would be if that is practical or if it would not just make more sense, to have refueling based ice from comets etc.

That globe had nothing to do with fusion ...

Yup, 'cause there's no money in porn... /s :-)

From Adult Entertainment Market Report 2026:

(That growth rate is close to the average S&P 500 of 10%.)

If there's one thing this Administration really doesn't like, it's public scrutiny - any scrutiny really. /cynical
