With the recent heatwaves Montreal has been experiencing lately, Tokyo seems to have the technological remedies for this. Some of them require lots of energy to pull off on a city-wide scale though. So meh. Trees still FTW

Nope. Public roads are prone to accidents. Any major accident happening underground is a recipe for unmitigated disaster. Unless it's public transportation, private cars should stay mostly above-ground.

@MB_392_CD "It would be a denser aviation network," said Dr Stromahyer. I agree. We should not forget the magnitude of infrastructure needed to accommodate the increase in scale of this kind of air travel density. Some hub airports were already reaching their limits pre-pandemic

@mabdullaht_S392 There are now a lot of push for local Li-ion recycling efforts, as mining the raw materials is dominated by few countries. Though recycling is still not much more economically viable than mining, economies of scale would soon make it so.

As commercial rocket launches become more frequent and routine, emissions are bound to follow. Major technological breakthroughs to tackle pollution would take a lot of time. Fuel efficiency should be the most viable short-term.

@ALKAFIY This Russia-Ukraine war is becoming a test-bed for drone warfare technology. Seeing Ukraine's huge success with it, this will inevitably lead to a more mainstream drone use. Advanced military technology always trickle down to civilian commercial use eventually.

Delivering critical medical supplies, like blood and vaccines, via drone would save a lot of lives. Although commercial drone use is a bad idea in urban areas, Canada should look to apply this technology in our far-flung northern provinces

Although the passenger transportation side of air travel will still be dominated by jet-powered airplanes, airships will become the giant in the air cargo shipping industry. And in these hangars is where this vision will start.

A new form of self expression or just another way to avoid law enforcement? E Ink is surely a novel way of adding variety to our daily commute, but if Chromatic Paint was made illegal, then no way this tech will not escape the same scrutiny.

OpenAI released an open source AI program called DALL-E, that turns text captions into an image, drawing whatever is described. Those who have been granted access to it have shared interesting images. What would you ask it to draw?
