There's an interesting debate about the Bhagavad Gita in that some of the stories in there apparently describe effects that are in line with a nuclear or even thermo-nuclear explosion and that therefore Oppenheimer would have "known" about the bomb.

I guess after Otto Hahn was able to split Uranium atoms, physicists started to realize the orders of magnitude of power that this could deliver.

The 1930s were wild. In a sense, we're approaching the same social, political and technological climate again. God knows where it will end. Or if it will just end us.

I don't know either - but I know one thing: they'll be very, very thin and without buttons.

That's way too juicy for them to let that drop.

We know that Obama outlawed GoF research - so NIH help shift it to China, to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where half the staff had military titles to begin with.

If that research is valuable - why move it outside the US to begin with if not to hide something?

is that you don't actually have to follow through with it. Especially if you know that the plan will leak to the other side sooner than later.

No shit, Sherlock.

Tesla's UI is good and works very well.

Incidentally, Tesla also doesn't have CarPlay.

I don't miss any of the Apps I have on my iPhone on the Tesla UI.

I tried to listen to one of the technical podcasts I subscribe to (after it got access to that app after and update), but it's too distracting while driving, so I quit that.

It might actually be that the employee in question was on a PIP.

In any case, given Amazon's past history, I have a huge problem giving them the benefit of the doubt...

I think, the smallest island of the Canaries, La Gomera, became energy-independent a couple of years ago.

But they have very little tourism and more the likes of "sit somewhere quite and read a book" type of tourism...

I suspect, Hawaii would need to get rid of 90% of their tourists first before becoming more sustainable...

I do own an EV and I believe it's the best car for well over 90% of the population, well over 90% of the time.
But the electricity has to come from somewhere.

Where does Hawaii get it?

Is geothermal feasible and sustainable there, like in Iceland?

And then, there's all the jets and the boats and cruise ships....

His family is wealthy, he'll be ok.

Personally, I find that a bit draconian. It was in a desert after all.

Unlike other YouTubers, his videos are somewhat high quality and he doesn't generate clicks by pissing off other people.

Problem solved.

If the conversation isn't relevant to you, why are you there to begin with?

I certainly stay put at home when on call. Unless it's a company event.

That's when I would enter a theater with a laptop to begin with,
