50 years ago high minded people said, forget space, fix the earth. That didn't work. Now its our turn, let us develop the space economy to fix the Earth.

[Dennis Wingo @wingod]

There is a choice before us, this future, or one of prosperity through the economic development of the Moon, Mars, and the asteroid belt.

Choose wisely.

@harber_Bubba @SNIKTlll @DrShayPhD What is the purpose of banging the Trinity drum?

The dystopian mindset goes back farther than I thought.

What the hell happened in the 1960's?

🚨EL VÍDEO MÁS PODEROSO QUE VERÁS HOY.

John Clauser, Premio Nobel de Física y 1,500 Cientificos más en Quantum Korea dicen:

"NO EXISTE Cambio Climático, NO EXISTE Emergencia Climática"

El Dr. Clause Agregó: "La narrativa del Cambio Climático es una PELIGROSA CORRUPCIÓN QUE AMENAZA LA ECONÓMIA A NIVEL GLOBAL" ⚔️🔥

@DrShayPhD It certainly is weird!

@harber_Bubba @SNIKTlll @DrShayPhD Oh good lord.

This is about as edifying as asking how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

@ah_alsalami @grok Thank you for that!

This is certainly a great concern.

David Sacks predicts Democrats will use AI legislation and frontier-model approvals to create a surveillance and censorship state 'turbocharged by superintelligence'

“It’s 100% that Democrats are going to make a major push for AI legislation in the next Congress. The question is what that looks like. And I don’t think you have to speculate too much to understand where it’s going.

“I believe that Democrats want to create a surveillance and censorship state that’s turbocharged by superintelligence. I mean, that’s ultimately the end state.

“How do you get there? You create a department, a federal department of AI. You require that all the so-called frontier models have to be reviewed and approved by that. The regulators give their notes on it. You can’t get a model released unless you address their concerns.

“And their harms will include all the things that the government is telling us that social media companies should be concerned about, like disinformation and misinformation and dissonant thought. All the things that the government was pressuring the social media companies to crack down on and censor during COVID. How quickly we forget all of this.

“They’re going to basically reenact that whole regime again using AI, and it’s going to be infinitely more powerful because we’re talking about superintelligence here. So I do believe that that is the regime that we’re headed towards.”

- Contrat ordinaire pour l'immense majorité des employés du service public
- Durée de travail limitée à 48h par semaine par l'Etat. Majorité des conventions collectives à 37h par semaine.
- Un des taux d'activité les plus élevés au monde
- Allocation chômage conditionnée à une recherche d’emploi très active : au moins 2 candidatures par semaine, obligation d’accepter des jobs hors de son domaine, risque de perte des droits si on ne prouve pas sa disponibilité

- Création d’entreprise en 1 jour, entièrement en ligne.
- Classé 7e à l'indice de liberté économique contre 65e pour la France.
- Classé 4e pays de l'OCDE où il est le plus simple de faire des affaires. La France est avant-dernière.

Ça fait peur, très peur. Un véritable enfer néolibéral.

@DrShayPhD @SNIKTlll Sorry, so many of these going on that I got it crossed up.

Actually, if you look particularly at Africa, it was through those like Stanley and Livingston and a host of other missionaries that brought education, medicine, and hope. The evangelization of Africa is probably one of the best stories. There are other areas where this was not so.

Take the Aztec, yes, converted, forcefully? It was not hard to give up the old ways of sacrifice there.

There are other areas were it was through the sword, but most evangelization has been through love, not the sword.

[Dennis Wingo @wingod]

@DrShayPhD I am not offended. I have just seen so many questions like this lately by those who just want to stir people up. I know you are not that way, but at the end of the day, does it matter?

[Dennis Wingo @wingod]

@GennadySimanovs You do have a good point there. In many countries where mines are set up they build schools, power plants and the like.

[Dennis Wingo @wingod]

This is the level of cope of people like this, without understanding, without logic, but with a big mouth.

The woman who blocked the project told Fox the $5B investment would only benefit the employees of the data center, advocating for the site to be turned into an indoor trampoline park instead.

A good yet incomplete analysis. Aluminum in 1860 was a currency metal, yet the demand for it increased dramatically with the lower cost.
Here is one area that is overlooked. Using Iridium as sleeves in internal combustion engines. The thermodynamic efficiency of an internal combustion engine is limited by operating temperature. Steel, and especially aluminum require lower operating temperatures. Using iridium sleeves for pistons (and iridium in pistons themselves), allows for a considerably higher operating temperature, thus increasing thermodynamic efficiency and thus gas milage.
Also, for fuel cells. Today we just use Platinum. However, there is solid experimental evidence that a cocktail of multiple PGM's (Platinum, Ruthenium, Rhodium) creates a much higher efficiency for fuel cells, which again translates directly into resources saved.
Stationary steam engines would benefit from cheap iridium as would nuclear reactor steam systems.
Lower catalyst costs for the petroleum
