@HoneyBeeGeek Bit of an odd spin. Afaik, photosynthesis is usually considered a sustainability 'good'. Replacing photosynthesis (aka pretty efficient solar power) with electricity (at best, pretty inefficient solar power) doesn't really seem like a step forward.
Would like to see the EROI.
@SkarredGhost A fullsome catalogue of nigh insurmountable challenges for any near term see through XR hardware; simultaneously an exhaustive list of problems passthrough doesn't have.
@NewshubNationNZ You're confusing "independent" and "contrarian".
If some other nations do the math and work out 2+2=4, we don't have to insist it =5 "because independent FP"".
We do the math ourselves, and when we also work out it =4, then we agree with everyone else who also concludes =4.
ICYMI โA narrative has developed that we're somehow moving away from focusing on the metaverse vision, so I just want to say upfront that's not accurate. We've been focusing on both AI and the metaverse for years now and we will continue to focus on bothโ https://t.co/ADDP9yJIT6
@TechCrunch@Cookie Didn't you know?
In America you don't go to jail for stealing a billion dollars, that's reserved for people who steal a hundred dollars.
Shoutout to all the fine people who used to imagine theyโd risk their lives to rescue slaves or hide war refugees in their basements. Even though we now know you wonโt even wear a mask to the grocery store to protect others, youโll always be heroes to me. โค๏ธ
As galling as it is to see people we don't like enjoying themselves, the other way of looking at this is Russia loses hard currency and all they get in return is useless geegaws and trinkets like diamonds and surplus Rolls Royce's - perhaps today's version of land for beads?
1/22 This is Svetlana Maniovich. She is your guide to the world of extreme Russian glamour. She radiates richness. Diamonds, furs, Rolls Royces - she has it all and more. In summer you can find her in St Tropez where she rents a villa for โฌ150k/month, or on a yacht in Naples๐งต
@ddub_news I'd love to have an economist explain to me why we insist on countering inflation by inflicting unemployment and cost of living crunch on those who can least afford it, rather than say a variable tax rate on those who could drop their spending without suffering any real hardship.
@chamfy True. Looking at the design, I wonder if it's intended to be a series? Keep the "bringing ...closer" and insert in between a variety of things you can access more easily with light rail? If so an unfortunate start that might not have stood out so much if it'd been no 3, 7, etc
