You vastly underestimate the size and diversity of India. Their middle class is bigger than that of the USA or I think even that of the entire EU.

The can have a low rate on pretty much every statistic, while still having a higher total amount of it than us, simply due to.the sheer size of people. They could have an entire state, more modern, rich and with more people than Germany, while keeping their current statistics. No problem.

Also: Are you Indian (I think not), or what is your basis for the ”rootless“ statement. To us Germans, Americans appear rootless. But we are not competent to judge that!

Finally, things like this right here ARE how you get Indians out of poverty and illiteracy! Even if just via the resulting businesses lobbying for more education.

The question is: What will they do after, when Trump is gone, and his policiey on Chinese imports anf foreign workers are gone with him?

I hope they hurry. Now’s the time!

Keep telling yourself that…

Here in Europe, we actually use mostly trains. Trucking is for the smaller deliveries, like some five bathtubs from Sweden to Germany.

And we use trains for humans too.

The reason your trains are so long is because they need to go so far.

While around here, we use more local products. As we are still actually separate countries, not one big lowest common denominator culture mush. ;)

Why do we need bookmarks when we have softlinks. They are the same concept, and an OS that makes a distinction, is a faulty OS, IMHO.

Ditto for tabs. The task bar already serves that. It't the task bar's flaw if it isn't hierarchic.

And actually, a directory already solves that too. Which even exists on Linux. (/proc) All you need, is a (filtered?) horizontal directory tree listing for the tasks/tabs and a sidebar with another directory that you can put softlink URL into.

Add a bit of window manager placement automation, and you got your browser.

And with JS, as a former pioneer web developer: A website whose HTML relies on a certain way of being presented or a certain interactive logic, is a defective website, full stop. The whole point of HTML, is that it is semantic markup, and semantic ONLY! E.g. an audio browser must work just as fine with a website. If one’s website fails at that, it’s because of disinfomatiom spread by the What(TF)WG and because of incompetence, and the causing people must be fired.

Aka something that should never be that way in the first place.

Well, if we found it, it would already be contained unless accessed by definition.

Also, magnetic fields could definitely contain it, as is already done.

We can already make anti-matter, as it't essentially the process of making matter bounce off, using a photon, in such a way that it reverts its time direction. Or, in classical view: Turn a photon into a particle/antiparticle pair. The problem is, of course, that it first takes those shitloads of energy, that it would release later.

And to actually find anti-matter in nature, you would most likely have to turn into anti-matter yourself, travel back in time, and somehow survive the big bang without touching anything, to come out the hypothetized other side where time is reversed and anti-matter expanded to. Or try to get inside a black hole, and revert your direction of motion (as time and space are reversed in there). Both not yet technically available, to say the least. ;)

TL;DR: He didn't!

He wrote a UI for a browser engine (Webkit, of couuurse). Using a UI toolkit (Qt). In a scripting language.

Which is more putting wallpaper on the walls than constructing the building or even painting the walls.

Ashamed of it and ridiculed?

I would have tought of it a fascinating and fashionable! Especially with white hair. Man, I want that when I am old!

And yeah, their ancestors might have been incestous. But that isn’t the childrens’ fault, now is it.

Man, … people somtimes.

So he’s blue-skinned.

Or are you implying he exists or existed for real independent of people’s psychotic heads?

The moon's dust contains huge amounts of helium-3.

Which apparently is an amazing power source.

Also, why fission? We do have working fusion reactors. They are called hydrogen bombs. (The outer part, at least.) As long as you can keep the G forces low ...

Who said anything about uranium?

There are elements with far more favorable decay paths. Short decay + using that decay too = pretty much a clean nuclear reactor.

I’m disappointed.

I expected a project-Orion-type interstellar solution. Not a measly ”twice as fast as conventional“ water kettle.

Also, no word about what they will acually use. Because classic uranium is a quite limited resource actually. It has been said to run out even before fossil fuels.

Also, why not a fusion rocket? Given that we know how to make fusion bombs. Because until we find a massive amount of anti-matter, this will be the next best thing for a loong time. The only limiting factor would be a human body's ability to withstand G forces.

I highly doubt this is more than lip service.

Thesr organizations are run by certified psychopaths, who don’t care about being good, but only about looking good. So they can keep doing what they do. Which is maximizing profit.

I’ll accept it when I have seen, checked, scrutinized and double checked evidence for at least ten years, for the obligatory sneaky technicalities and spin.

You’ll need $2 million, just for the mask. And if you want to fab yourself, the machines cost in the range from $10 to $50 million. For one machine. And you will need many.

As the article states, you will not make those at home any time soon, unless ”maskless“ fabbing becomes a thing.
