IF petawatt-scale power is possible (and that's a big if), one of the cool things you could do is bottle it and send it where it's needed.

Literally.

How?

Turn it into oil. Crack seawater to get hydrogen and separate out CO2 that's dissolved as gas and carbonate. Fisher-Tropsch glue the two together.

With a petawatt of power, even if the process were only 50% efficient (which is roughly what US Naval Research Lab, Brookhaven National Lab, and MIT research suggest, you'd be synthesizing about 2,580 billion barrels of oil annually. The US currently consumes about 6 billion barrels, and total global extraction in 2013 was 317 billion barrels. That's 368 bbl/year per person on the planet (US consumption is 19 bbl/person-year).

So, yes, that's overkill, but you could put the additional energy to use, oh, say, sequestering carbon from the atmosphere (which, say, the surplus oil you're synthesizing pretty much is).

And if you burn the oil somewhere else later, it's actually pretty much OK. The stuff'll be clean (it's pure hydrocarbon, no contaminants), it's carbon-neutral (though if you're sucking seawater out of a single spot on the globe that might be an issue (we know that messing with ocean pH is a Less Than Desirable thing.

But it turns out we've got a pretty considerable global infrastructure for doing just that with oil.

Mind: I don't think fusion power will happen any time soon, possibly not ever. But if we actually did have that much power to play with, we could probably sort it reasonably well.

This is an interesting story I'd like to hear told by a non-crazy person.
It's because of the act of driving itself. Before it was phones it was shaving, doing makeup, or eating. Driving promotes an individualist mentality. Backed up by the fact that cars are designed to remove and protect you from the environment that you're still participating in. This separation leads to many things including road rage and not believing that being on your cellphone is a problem. *IMHO
The majority of people who just want to live safe, comfortable, predictable lives have a right to use government to protect themselves from the (very substantial) minority of people who are shitbags.
Indeed, though the iron crucible I use gets hot enough to be red hot. Whether the molten aluminum has a faint red glow about it or not I cannot say; I don't usually melt it at night.
Driving is a full time occupation.

If you can reduce the number of distractions please do. A phone needs only one button, answer/break connection and you shouldn't be dialling 'out' while driving anyway. No need to pop up pictures and other distractions in front of the driver, such a call at the wrong moment could easily cause an accident, if only because you will instinctively re-focus on the changing item in front of you.

Set your GPS navigator to do voice announcements and only check the display when you suspect a sudden change in direction or are not sure what lane to sort into. Other than that the voice indications should be enough.
most of the rest of the human race of course.

Most of the human race? Isn't there a meme that said pursuing immortality is folly?

That being said, I am in support of giving humans the opportunity to become immortal even though that implies we have to give up making babies.

Playing the devils advocate. While I don't agree with his long term idea, looking at the last 17 years don't really suggest he was all that wrong.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_End_of_History_and_the_Last...

As to predicting things, the last 50 years have changed things far less than you might expect. 50 years ago we had Jet aircraft, satellites, cars did 80+MPH, computers used silicon transistors, nuclear reactors, H-Bomb, ICBM's, you could talk to people on the other side of the planet. Doctors could easily write a prescription for antibiotics or order an XRay to see what's wrong with you. There where even some video games.

As far as peoples day to day lives transistors got really cheap which enabled lot's of stuff. But, the top 500 super computers pull 274 Pflop/s vs 223 Pflop/s the same time last year so that seems to be slowing down. http://www.top500.org/lists/2014/06/

Sure, tech has been improving but most of the tech that's changing peoples lives is actually fairly old. The Internet is about to hit 40, Cat scans are 47, Cellphones are 41, and DNA was discovered 61 years ago.

Politicly things have changed a lot less than you might think. Most borders are about where they where 50 years ago, Israel was still having issues with it's neighbors abortion was a major political issue in the US etc etc.
No joke. It really is a phenomenon.
> Suffering and hardship are not bad things.

Would you also deny others pain-relieving medication?

See, your philosophical stance is admirable. In my mind, thinking of pain as a positive thing is a healthy approach to life. What I find deplorable is forcing your personal view on others. That is pure righteousness.

Indeed, righteousness is the underlying problem here. Taking one's personal views on life ('... a crucial part of the human journey ...') and believing they are a universal truth. Once this belief is formed, the natural conclusion is to force others to live by it, because it is the Truth.

How about we let everyone decide what to do with their own lives, as long as they do not inflict harm on others?

There are some options in the US, just fyi.
I think the speedo dial is a dangerous distraction when speed cameras are about. I know I focus almost entirely on the speedo and only use peripheral vision for the road ahead when going past a speed camera.

When there's no speed camera or other risk of speed trap, I don't pay attention to numeric speed at all. Instead, I drive to the conditions, and approximately follow the speed limit as appropriate - but I may be 5 or 10 over or under depending on how clear the road ahead is of hazards.

Fuel, oil and other gauges don't change constantly and don't demand attention with flashing and animations, unless something is seriously wrong - in which case the vehicle should be stopped.

I should add, though, I don't actually drive. I ride a motorcycle and scooter, daily, all year round in London. Anything less than 100% focus is a quick route to A&E.
> Disclaimer—I don't myself drive a car

That reminds me of the pope, doesn't play the game but tells others how to play it.

Well, I do. I drive way too much in fact and I believe strongly that driving is a full-time 100% on the ball occupation. That probably saved my life twice this year alone and prevented one other probably bad accident from happening. I drive in places where traffic is very much unlike the traffic that you are probably used to (you'd call it a madhouse), dogs, other drivers, horse carts, madmen, trucks overtaking in blind corners, drunk people on the road (on bicycles, no lights). You name it they've got it here.

When I'm tired even a little bit I stop the car and sleep until I feel rested again. My phone is off. At night I use the GPS to tell me what's going to happen around the corner (hairpins in mountainous terrain where you can't stop are a real joy) when I can't find a place to stop safely to overnight. But as soon as I do the car gets stopped and I wait until it's light again.

I turn down the instrument panel lights to have good night vision as much as possible, this is plenty to read the instruments by if I have to and means I get to see what's on the road, which is a lot more important than whatever is on that screen. (Such as a very black and very large dog that jumped out of nowhere a few weeks ago).

This probably all may seem paranoid but it has served me very well over the years. Even so, I think that navdy has a spot, but only if you use it as a navigation device and place it outside of your direct field of vision. It screws up your night vision and that's bad enough when you have to look at it, it's much worse when that happens all the time.

"considering males have only one X chromosome": Around 1 in 500 males have two X chromosomes (XXY), so it should be possible for males to end up as tetrachromats too (although this wouldn't explain 8%). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klinefelter_syndrome
All I said is based on many years of following various carefully selected sources of information. I cannot provide exact studies as I don't really keep tract of things outside of the conclusions I accumulate in my mind and based on my own self-experimentation. I really can provide them, I need to invest a lot of time digging them out and, honestly, I won't do this for people who're being aggressive and not appreciative to me - I won't sugarcoat it, you're not worth the effort and my time given the attitude. I do a lot of legwork only to people who respect my effort. Anyway, health and nutrition is not my job, but I have a great interest in it, and a very good track record of being able to memorize facts, aggregate, and distill knowledge. Studies, when it comes to nutrition, are more often flawed than not, but the people who I follow are pretty trustworthy, have the credentials, and they weed out things for me and explain them in a accessible way to a person who's not a biochemist or any health professional. I will list some of my sources though: Robb Wolf, Chris Kresser, Mark Hyman, William Davis, David Perlmutter, Mercola (I know, I know), Andrew Weil (I know, again), Jack Kruse, Doug McGuff, Chris Masterjohn, Paul Jaminet, and some others. I listen and follow many others, but I don't trust them - it's only to find references and seeds for new knowledge, but even those who I trust - I still try to dig deeper, cross-reference, and so on. I also do my own research over at the Hacker News of biohacking and self-experimentation (Longecity), but, again, that's only to see what others are doing and find new seeds, I'm not trusting most of the people over there as they have no face. I follow a long number of blogs, listen to many podcasts, so, I see many angles, and I pick for myself the lifestyle that makes the most sense based on my accumulated knowledge and, so far, and, thank god, things are working outstandingly for me. Also, I do find a meaningful explanation of things - something that's very essential, yet, a luxury nowadays. So, low quality or not - it's really your problem, not mine. I have no goal to prove anything to anybody, I spare the seeds of knowledge I've acquired so dearly to those who could appreciate the gift, to the others - they don't deserve it anyway. I'm really not the humanist type. I'm more of the egoist, so, the less people know the truth as long I know it, the better it is for me and my family! This planet is getting too overcrowded anyway! Munch grains, slurp kale, binge on pizza, abstain from wine - I can only feel sorry for you! I am sorry for being cynical, but that's life.
I believe reasonable people should conclude that when people systemically preach X and behave !X that they, and their beliefs, are addled. Or more likely that they're hucksters. They're using their credibility to sell something, and they have no credibility.

Not to mention the bible, a rorshach of self-contradictory beliefs; christians regularly attempt to avoid standing behind their opinions or condemnation thereof via the "bible says so" ruse, though they're notably happy to lawyer their way out of biblical rules that have fallen out of favor (clothes of two threads, slavery, wife as chattel, homosexuality for some.)
In NL they claim the speed cameras are for safety. I'd believe that if they put them in places where people go faster than the 'safe speed', but instead they put them in places where there is a ton of traffic. I suspect that there is an economical motive at work here rather than a safety motive but I can't prove that.

All I do know is that I spend too much time checking that damn dial. So I fixed that by setting the GPS to warn me with an audible alarm when I get to 1 km over the GPS measured speed compared to the posted limit of the road I'm on (it adjusts those automatically). Very useful.
Oops.

I'll leave the reply as an example of some of the factual problems with the article.
That's a bad analogy. Just adding a transmitter doubles your power usage. MIMO is more efficient at the same power.
Gunung Padang is a standard megalithic site.

The site as it is built after 9600 BC (the date mentioned in the article) would be normal. A less sophisticated human settlement prior to 9600 BC would be normal.

If the pyramid was built some millennia before 9600 BC as the article speculates, that would be groundbreaking anthropological news. There isn't that much evidence that that is the case though. The jury is still out, although this speculation is a bit of hype. The Indonesian press will run with it somewhat as it would affirm national pride to be one of the first civilizations.

The speculation that this site was Atlantis is obviously even more far out.

Lots of interesting archaeological sites have been found in the Indonesia jungles, such as the more recently created Borobudur ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borobudur ).

You could say the one or two of these phrases that most accurately sums up the reason for your property tax increase:

"My taxes increased because of an increase in property tax rates."

"My taxes increased because of an increase in property valuation."

One cool trick is that, after you've copied all the data to a new database, you offset the auto-increment to some larger value on all tables in the new DB. Then you can switch the old app to use the new DB and it will immediately start inserting new records into it, but will have a gap between the old and the new auto-incrementing values. If your app was getting a lot of writes you've probably ended up with a few extra rows in the old DB since it took you some time to copy the data over before you could switch the DB connection. However it's no problem since you've created that gap, so you can just copy the missing rows into the new DB later, there will be no collisions.
The thing with an activity as ubiquitous as driving is that when judging the usefulness or conversely danger of a certain aspect of it, you have to consider the least-skilled (or more susceptible to distractions) group of drivers. Saying "I can do activity X and driving together" is a nice anecdote, but it doesn't give much information as to the overall safety of activity X and driving.

For example, I would guess that there are people out there who can safely drive a car with their blood-alcohol level past the legal limit. There are presumably people who can multi-task (text or phone & drive) safely too.

Once these activities become acceptable, you can't pick and choose who is allowed to perform them based on some skill metric.
Though I wish that you were right without exception, my experience is that at least for some people this does not hold true.
Some people whose comfortable level of eating happens to be above what they burn in their average day would rather eat what they want instead of counting calories, going hungry, and exercising all day.

(Firefighter/medic, not cop) - we have an exemption from cell phone laws, but with the stipulation that it is to be used sparingly, and only in an emergency, i.e. it's recognized that it's not a good practice but sometimes needed (for example in my area, ambulances contact the hospital via cell phone, not radio, and depending on the severity of the patient in back, there may be a need for a driver to make contact - whilst ideally we either have additional manpower, or similar, it's not always possible). Personally, I think there abuses of this.

I know you're not exactly opposing the above comment, but I'll make a supporting argument here which acknowledges what you've said:

I feel as though we can retain understanding of those differences without using the name "Vec", which can be considered a poor choice for the reasons mentioned above (by C++ and Rust alike).

Array<T> for a growable array

[T, ..N] for a fixed-length array

&[T] for a slice into either of these array types

Even forgetting the mathematical concept, I would argue that throwing the term "Vector" into the mix only makes things more complicated than they need to be, since sticking to "Array" homogenizes everything. For good reason, we don't call a resizable string a "Hobnob" in an attempt to disambiguate, so why call a resizable array a "Vector", which makes just as much sense?
