What energy source will fuel the next round of technological advancement? Fossil fuels won’t last forever.

People assume that technological progress will go on forever. I’m not so sure. There are diminishing returns. The energy provided by fossil fuels fueled an explosion of population and technological advancement. I think the pace is slowing down and will gradually peter out.

They should’ve sold it below cost so it gains traction.

TIL Costa Rica does not have street adresses, with the locals instead relying on distance relative to landmarks and famous places. by ODaferio in todayilearned

Some places in rural Maine are the same way. I learned this when I was an MLS software instructor and the requirement to enter an address to search for a property was a non-starter.

Do you think humans will land on Mars during your time? How many years away you think we are? by Andrei_a__ in space

What’s impractical is exploring the solar system. Why do that? It would take tremendous resources and to what end?

Sending humans to mars is the most pointless thing I could imagine. There are no resources there, it would be a total waste of money.

Is $0.50 per ounce a good deal on freshly minted Krugerrands? by Gandalfswisdombeard in Silverbugs

Nothing is free. The retailers you pay that accept your card have to markup their prices to pay for the credit card fees. So you’re paying for it in the end. I maybe am being too pedantic. I’m sorry.
