My example may not have been clear enough. Here is another one: what if, when your neighbors defaults on their mortgage, the whole street now needs to chip in to pay off the loan. That might start to feel like your life is getting destroyed because of something you have no control over, right? And that's exactly how kids feel when they are punished for something that somebody else did.

> any time any one of you does this, you are all getting extra homework assignments Also known as "collective punishment". Like if your neighbor was speeding today, everybody in your street would have to pay a fine.

Some choices can be made in solar system design to optimize for low light conditions. I believe the trick is to use micro-inverters with a low startup voltage, so that you can still get a steady supply of relatively low power instead of nothing at all. More efficient panels also help of course.

In France, where two thirds of electricity production comes from nuclear plants, the carbon intensity is 10 times lower: 39 gram CO2eq/kWh. I'm not saying that this makes diamond dust a feasible idea, but using the US number is probably not the best choice in this calculation. To get an idea of the varying carbon intensity of electricity production around the world, see electricitymaps.com.

Subversion does not have those problems; each commit can be thought of as a snapshot of the whole file tree. Subversion was created exactly to fix that file-oriented approach in CVS.

Quic sits on top of UDP.

In principle you could look at actual transactions (goods, services, settlements of debt...) that are being settled in bitcoin. Then equate the flux of value being exchanged (e.g. dollars/day) to the amount of bitcoins that are observed to move over time (e.g. bitcoins/day). Solving that equation should give you a rational lower bound for the dollar value of one bitcoin. In practice it will be hard to get those numbers though.

You need to go to "preferences" and change the "display volume in" setting from "bitcoin" to "selected currency". Otherwise the volume will appear to be much lower than it really is, because of the price rise. Also, large trades (i.e. over $100K) in illiquid markets generally happen via OTC trading desks. That volume will not show up here, we're just looking at the volume of the public order books.

Even that is not new. Psyche has been known to be a metal asteroid for a long time. It's mass and size has been estimated, and it has a high radar albedo. An exploration mission has been planned for years and will launch in 2022. A more accurate but boring title would be "Hubble collected some more data about known metal asteroid".

Your story seems to be bases on this article which uses a hypothetical free market for ice in advance of a hurricane as an example: https://mises.org/library/pric... I doubt the "late train of ice" thing ever happened, it sounds like somebody expanded the ideas in that article with an imaginary example of government waste/failure to turn it into a good story.

The summary here claims that none of the genes were recognizable. But the paper says "Only six genes had distant homologs in public databases".

The conversion efficiency of plants to meat via cows is about 3%. That number is roughly the same whether you look at the conversion of plant protein to animal protein, or just calories. So all a good plant-based meat substitute needs to do to be more efficient, is not lose 97% somewhere in the processing. https://iopscience.iop.org/art...

I think price is precisely why this is going to be hugely successful. Making a meat equivalent directly from plants will eventually be a lot cheaper than feeding a cow for a few years. Right now it's still selling at a premium because the production scale isn't there yet and they can't keep up with demand, but give it time. The price will get there.

What is your source on this? According to the information given during Autonomy Day, the chip is already in all new model 3, s and x right now. And manufacturing of the chip doesn't require any Tesla capital expenditure because it's done by the Samsung fab in Texas.
