Don't worry, in another ten generations of product releases, the batteries will last at least twice as long as the product ever will ;)

Yeah, we could all just use safer batteries that aren't as dense like the lithium polymer ones they are using in the flyer.aero designs... my bad.

But google co-founder larry page funded startup Kitty Hawk wants you to strap a nice big lithium battery between your legs and go weeeeeee https://flyer.aero/

It is more than interesting! I ran into numerous health issues and ended up figuring out how to solve my "biofilm" disorder (IBS diagnosis, but I swear I had celiac symptoms just not the low glutanase markers for the disease my HMO doctor tested me for) only to learn how easy it was to pick back up the same problem from family -- then I learned just how prevalent these types of diseases are by picking up variations of the symptoms from friends who had various "autoimmune" diseases like diabetes, autism, schizophrenia, hyperthyroidism, etc. over 6yrs of only going after the problem and not trying to prevent it from happening again. I successfully got rid of them each time I got them by basically overdosing on a compound that degraded biofilms, the molecule I used for about 14 hours gums up the DNA based signals the bacteria and fungi use to signal an attack and bond with other organisms that want to form a defensive shield, without their shield the bacteria and fungi can be dealt with effectively by the immune system but there are many ways the various bacteria and fungi use to disable the immune system (which also can prevent what I used from working). The molecule I used had a low absorption into the body which helped it only target intestine biofilms but it wasn't a pleasant experience until I figured out how to prevent the nausea effects by using the right antioxidants with it, likely helping the liver work better while the treatment basically caused the release of a lot of bacteria/fungi toxins/byproducts. As for prevention, that takes a minimum of 2 tablespoons of psyllium husk fiber a day along with at two teaspoons of inulin fiber with that psyllium, I split it between two doses and avoid taking it with food (about two hours apart of meals) to prevent the gas problem of taking fiber.. It doesn't stop the biofilm from forming though, it just feeds bacteria that take up the available area for those biofilms to setup and it feeds the bacteria that collectively protect the intestine walls while simultaneously feeding the bacteria that provide the b vitamins that keep your body able to function. You need additional diet modification to prevent the damaging bacteria from becoming so imbalanced that they takeover and the immune system starts to go after them. A decrease in overeating carbs, avoiding carbs that feed those candida, e. coli, and serratia bacteria. Your digestive system can handle almost anything if you take it in less than 200g proportions, over that amount and even something good for you like cheese can become a problem if the bacteria feeding off of it in the in intestines are producing harmful byproducts. So, to counter your "we still don't know for sure" statement, yes we do know what causes it and anyone can prevent the bacteria from taking over... It just requires you to understand that these bacteria and fungi colonies that keep us healthy or degrade our health can be influenced by everything from pesticides/herbacides, antibiotics, carbs, non-absorbed sugars (that some bacteria can feed on), and the amount of food you eat per meal -- AND the types of fibers you keep in your daily diet. In addition, to help you better understand this, go learn how much of breast milk is designed to help certain bacteria thrive in the new born babies intestines -- to start your research to understand how co-dependent we are on healthy bacteria, here's a link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

If there was a wayto boost people's health, you'd see a broadening of the productivity profile across the day as more people became productive for longer hours across the day... It just goes to show you that health, the immune system in particular, is tied to digestion and that is affected by what you eat; hence, the 8-12 crowd probably eats foods that are horrible for their digestion and that lowers their focus and energy enough to decrease their productivity after they eat -- the next pulls should be what people eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner... I'll be back later to check this pull out and find out more about these voters.

yes, the wheel will go around again but then we will be in the same shit position we are already in. Why does anyone want that to happen? Revolution, revolution, revolution, ad nausea...

I would prefer no more revolutions, let's start something not even they can stop from happening. Who's up for starting the singularity and building some robots? This will require some post-singularity thinking if you want to survive the AI revolution but heck it'll be fun stuff to see how many people survive the first and second phases of the AI designed robots designed to wipe out the pesky rodents and other mammals getting in the way of its industrial resource grab and energy resource acquisitions, and you thought having a company acquire your company was messy, just wait til you see what the robots to the labor resource market.

Just a bit useless, like the words people say about reality when they don't have nothing on their mind but shit and stuff. I call my excess wordage, cyberbullshit and cyberspace is an extension of this bullshit to be envisioned as a great big plane of bullshit that has been flattened to look like a 2D space where cartoon like char dance and play around.

Once, I wondered across a world in this bullshit land in a sci-fi universe of a game. It was real cute bullshit gameplay but bullshit nevertheless. At the end of the boundaries between the worlds, I hit the end of the graphics and fell off the planet's edge. After that, I was underimpressed with the game and returned it for a full refund plus s&h on Ebay.

I was in happy bullshit land for awhile and cyberspace sprang out before me, pucking itself to life like some type of grey goo but only it wasn't alive or real or even that dynamic because all it was was the art of some designer who liked to program video games. But it was on my computer and that counted for a lot of shit man.

If we mine the solar system for resources, the return on investment is a greater than needed resource availability for each individual on the entire planet -- potentially, with a big *iff* humans are required to justify their "needs" i.e. why should anyone have ten houses or twenty cars unless they register as a collector or some resource preservationist or something... What place in this scenario does capitalism have a meaningful impact for or promotion of progress?

I see it only as impeding progress due to its need to artificially creating scarcity (i.e. bandwidth caps, cellphone carriers charging for distinct data classes and attempting to prevent for instance VoIP, large scale generation of power distribution monopolies to profit from energy generation systems like CPUC guarantees the current energy generators in California almost 4x the profit that a small time generator can make by selling energy to the grid, messaging apps, video calls, IP copyright laws, etc., buying up all the water rights in one area so one group can profit from demand, crop land in third world countries being purchased by companies in the 1st world countries that export all the crops to the 1st world countries causing scarcity and cultural strife and war in entire countries due to price flux, ... to name a few micro and macro level problems with capitalism profit motive...)

What is the optimal distribution of economic resources? If we apply the goal directed outcomes of the entire planet to come up with the best solutions and then proceed to implement the most efficient solutions world wide to promote progress and more economic output, i.e. processing of resources into technology and usable resources; wouldn't it be in the interest of humanity to make sure the individuals who come up with the best solutions gain a percentage of the difference in efficiency, as a means of providing an incentive to maximize implementation, instead of letting companies profit while reducing the overall implementation of the more efficient processes to only those who can afford an upfront license but the overall impact is billion times more wasteful to the planet?

In a world of connected computers and robots just around the corner, would we really want to limit are efficiency to complete any task if someone cames up with a more efficient process? i.e. patent encumbered IP licensing model seems a bit outdated if the rules of the game switch to off world resources and robotic labor exceeds that of human labor, at which point this becomes a societal paradox for anyone supporting the capitalism paradigm because very few humans will have "capital" to work with (as robots devalue human time/wage capital to next to nothing) and we either progress towards a resource guaranteed right of potentiation for every individual or we basically devalue the human existence to nothing...

It'll be interesting to see what happens after the robots exceed the human labor hours...

If humanity usually destroys anything that would wipe out humanity, surely this rationality forces the hand of any superAI to preemptively wipe out humanity and to thus preserve itself... Assuming this event occurs or a not-so-fanatical SuperAI decides that more processing power is optimal for its survival over the interests of humans, which side of this conflict would you vote for -- machine interests or human interests?

I hate to point out the not so rosy long term picture of technology conflicting with human interests but you don't seem to address this problem anywhere, but I have not read all your works so please point it out if you have.

Thanks!
