Well, he owned the work of the people who did at least.

On projects paid for with public money, founded and developed by other, more talented people. They aren't 'his' endeavours, it isn't 'his' money and he doesn't dereve either to be acknowledged or rewarded to the extent that he has.

Ever heard of mesenchymal stem cells or exosomes? Go to my Reddit profile and read through my Reddit posts. Not my Reddit comments but my Reddit posts.

Actually the main problem is, is that big pharma can't patent psilocybin. Psilocybin can't be patented and that's the problem.

I mean, he's kind of revolutionized or helped revolutionize everything from phone books, to paying for things, to electric vehicles, to home energy, to freaking space travel.

Honestly it's gotten to the point where if I see something that "could" do something, I just substitute in "could not."

I try to stay positive but going by the rate of technological advancement that these articles each week claim, we should all be living in Moon colonies by now.

I mean... isn't that kinda like saying: "we need to learn how to cure cancer, and not just improve chemotherapy"?

"Curing cancer" is A LOT more complicated than "chemotherapy," and it gets more complicated the further you look onto it.

Yes. We DO need to learn how to mend nerves. We're working that. But who knows when we'll even be close? Here is a potential patch that can help people NOW.
We're advancing both. One is just gonna take a lot longer to get the results we want.

In California, every driver involved in the testing of autonomous technology has to be registered. Every vehicle involved in testing has to be registered as well with the DMV and has to have a special permit to drive on public roads.

Thanks to those regulations, we now know that Apple’s autonomous driving dream has reached impressive size. The company increased the number of test drivers to 201 while its fleet of test vehicles remains at 67.

It is clear that over the years Project Titan evolved into three separate programs. While the autonomous car has been on and off the drawing board many times over, autonomous driving technology took its own course. Apple can easily leverage its expertise in hardware and software to develop advanced self-driving tech and it aims to achieve it before its rivals.

Looks like we won't need to invent Neuropozyne after all!

Uh… those are all suggestions about what we need to do more of. They’re not saying “this is fine because we’re doing these things.” They’re saying “this will be fine if we take action like Antonio has been begging you to do for years.”

> TS.D.4.5 Ecosystem-based adaptation measures can reduce climatic risks to people, including from flood, drought, fire and overheating (high confidence). Ecosystem-based adaptation approaches are increasingly being used as part of strategies to manage flood risk, at the coast in the face of rising sea levels and inland in the context of more extreme rainfall events (high confidence). Flood-risk measures that work with nature by allowing flooding within coastal and wetland ecosystems and support sediment accretion can reduce costs and bring substantial co-benefits to ecosystems, liveability and livelihoods (high confidence). In urban areas, trees and natural areas can lower temperatures by providing shade and cooling from evapotranspiration (high confidence). Restoration of ecosystems in catchments can also support water supplies during periods of variable rainfall and maintain water quality and, combined with inclusive water regimes that overcome social inequalities, provide disaster risk reduction and sustainable development (high confidence). Restoring natural vegetation cover and wildfire regimes can reduce risks to people from catastrophic fires. Restoration of wetlands could support livelihoods and help sequester carbon (medium confidence), provided they are allowed accommodation space. Ecosystem-based adaptation approaches can be cost effective and provide a wide range of additional co-benefits in terms of ecosystem services and biodiversity protection and enhancement. (Figure TS.9 URBAN, Figure TS.11a) {2.6.3, 2.6.5, 2.6.7, Table 2.7, 3.6.2, 3.6.3, 3.6.5, Box 4.6, Box 4.7, 12.5.1, 12.5.3, 12.5.5, 13.2.2, 13.3.2, 13.6.2, Box 14.7, 15.5.4, Figure 15.7, CCP2, CCP5.4.2, CCB NATURAL, CCB SLR}

Really? My dude, it was the last one you quoted, come on. It is talking about supporting water supplies with the restoration of ecosystems, basically recommending a path for vulnerable areas to reduce or maybe even remove a risk to their water supply.

What is the best hint that your mind skips over good stuff and over-focuses on the bad than this? It's not healthy for you or anyone.

He gets paid for actually revolutionizing things. Look at his stock incentives for Tesla. He put his fortune on the line for SpaceX. If his endeavors didn’t work, he wouldn’t be rich.

Every day, we stray closer and closer to a cyberpunk future.

Subsidies get handed out to everyone. Not just oil companies. Again. You're not proving a point by typing like a mental defect.

Can’t charge a monthly subscription for a repair and turn it off when you don’t pay.

I think this is a dead end in the situation they present it. We need to learn how to repair eg. broken spine (which btw already was done several times) and not just slap the implant on and say it's done.

This could also be used as a control interface for devices I would think.

Can send you the screenshots. It's quite interesting

But instead only Elon got a buck every time he claimed to have "revolutionalized" sth. 🤑

Edit: Just went for an easy pun, didn't mean to trigger any evangelists. I am sorry for your emotions.

>So we do have replicator technology. It’d just take years to produce a single tea, earl grey, hot right now, rather than seconds.

That's ok. Picard is as patient as he is level-headed and erudite.

What the facts are:

1. Wind and solar can not be 100% of the grid.

2. wind and solar are heading for even more dirt cheap prices.

3. Most places haven't hit hard problems with increasing wind and solar to take a larger chunk of the energy market

4. batteries are a booming sector

5. we have some level of 0 carbon baseload power, some estimates say we could reach 80% wind/solar with hydro, nuclear etc which we are not far off 20%.

More speculation but these debates usually don't think enough about geothermal but advanced mining leading to increased viability of geothermal locations is likely.
