Most realistic would be via Starlifting. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_lifting We'd need to remove heavier material while eventually feeding in fresh fuel. Will be a major undertaking.
-
If of interest, may want to look into solar cooking. I have a GoSun Solar Oven myself(vacuum insulation based). Achieves some ridiculous temperatures.
-
I've fried noodles in the microwave using popcorn bags and that turned out okay. Was trying out a bunch of Prison recipes had seen online. Made garlic confife and garlic oil before, but not in a microwave.

Yes, that is a better way to say it. I know this is going against the grain, but just think we'll be 'fine' on a macro level within one to two centuries. Reproductive technologies and ideologies are the wildcards in the picture.
-
Population growth is expected to slow after it hits 10 billion. I think we'll be able to manage in terms of resources, but we'll need to rethink things. A focus on arcologies and multi-use midrises would be ideal. Widespread urban farming(in all it's forms) and reducing food waste would likewise help with improving efficiency

Nothing with mass can travel at or exceed c. Reaching a speed 'near' c, will shrink how long a journey is down to next to nothing though(assuming you and your ship can survive).

I'd read about this and mostly just found it ironic considering 'keeping artifacts safe' was often used as an excuse for not repatriating artifacts to their respective countries. I'm otherwise of the opinion it reflects several issues though not least with the management like you say. Requires a breakdown at multiple levels for stuff to leave unnoticed over such a long period. This was no Thomas Crown Affair level art theft lol. On the plus side should be easier to recover the items.

Yes, thank you. Not to discount cronyism, but looks to be pretty comparable factoring in the current exchange rate.

@mistermack How do those salaries compare with salaries elsewhere in the Anglosphere?
-
With only the normal devaluing of currencies by governments, pay has to increase to at least try to keep pace. It's honestly weird how we're more understanding of companies raising prices of goods they sell, but not when people go to sell their labor.

Submarine toilets use sea water. The top two green valve handles are for filling and the bottom lever handle allows flushing to a tank below. The resulting sewage isn't ever treated though, rather it flows to the tank and then eventually blown or pumped overboard(when at sea). Suspect the salt mixed in with the sewage would pose problems for your typical water treatment plant. Grey water or rainwater is a very viable alternative option however.

The big thing would be axing costly signage and signal lights. Millions of dollars could be saved. Could also have vehicles continually flow through intersections. We spend around 58 hours each year just sitting at stop lights. That's definitely a good use case

Would recommend a general cleaning and making sure SFN wasn't blocked for some reason. Check here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/storage I have switched to the Brave Browser my desktop, if you want a different one to test with. -

I believe stored client-side. Have any browser settings possibly changed? -
I'm still wondering what mixed human-AI creations qualify as or how would prove AI contribution. The one tool previously offered by OpenAI has been removed due to false positives.

Every parent secretly wants to be a kid chauffeured around again I'm imagining we'll eventually have a kid mode once the technology is mature enough or it'll be completely hands-off in the case of taxi services.

I expect Insurance, maintenance, purchase price, fueling and parking costs for personal vehicles to increase. More about the relative cost compared to alternatives. And yeah, I know it's more than the cities, that's just where you would expect the earliest adoption to be. Once that happens we can start improving density, which will improve the numbers for public transit viability.
-
Realistically I don't see our car centric cities changing anytime soon. What automation offers is a reduction in unoccupied vehicle cost and more efficient routing. There's likely to be more trips total, but not necessarily more traffic. Lot of the issues stem from us making decisions as individuals without any coordinating mechanism. Probably be companies. The cost of vehicles sitting idle is insane not even considering the land required.

How does the decompression in BENDS occur?

The air you're breathing is compressed when you are underwater and exposed to sea pressure. As pressure is reduced during ascent it expands again. -
Yes really does make sense for major corridors. Highways in the US are semi-exclusive to an extent already. Would at least want trucks for efficiency and to be able to alter logistics in an emergency. Main question is what future population density will look like.
-
Indeed. One paper I read was talking about using fermentation to improve edibility.
-
Been reading about it being used for adobe type bricks. https://fortomorrow.org/explore-solutions/sargablock At least one variety is apparently edible too.
-
I've been using them for original recipe ideas. Would be cool if could be done as part of an experimental restraunt menu. Likewise something similar for products. They come up with interesting and unconventional design concepts. A simple system to bring them the rest of the way into reality would be incredible.

I figured was based on the original, classical view, of a BH in terms of escape velocity.

They kinda look like the ice spikes that sometimes form here on Earth.
