Editorialized title to make it fit.
Solar power is def shaking up the energy landscape, with plummeting panel costs making it a real contender against fossil fuels and disrupting energy markets and grid dynamics. Will that hold with TRUMPian global economics remains to be seen. The article also points to challenges like storage and integration, but what’s interesting is the mention of direct air capture (DAC) as a potential game-changer. While evidence from others about the feasibility of DAC is slim, if the lofty claims hold up, it could reshape renewables and open up big investment opportunities.
Curious on HN's take—is this just Hyperloop tech-bro hype, or is there something worth betting on here?
> Terraform Industries is a bunch of dreamers with utterly unrealistic numbers.
> Capex-light power-to-gas technology would indeed be a breakthrough; judging by their considerable output on X, they ain't going to be the ones to make that breakthrough.
Sounds very interesting. So I’m interested in learning more about the environments goals and focus. Could you tell me more about the type of educational content you envision prioritizing and the audience it’s meant to serve? As well, I’d love to understand how artificial intelligence will specifically support users within this educational environment. Give a use case? How will the platform bridge the gap between education and the labor markets?
Are there goals for partnerships with particular companies or industries to support this? Oh and I’m also curious if the platform or whatever will focus on developing skills for specific professions or if it has a broader educational scope.
This is just an opinion.
The only way forward with automated and autonomous vehicles is through industry cooperation and standardization. The Tesla approach to the problem is inadequate, lacking means for interoperability, and relying on inferior detection mechanisms.
Somebody who solves these problems and does it by offering interoperability and standards applied to all automakers wins.
Sold Tesla investments. The company is on an unprofitable downward spiral trajectory. The CEO is a total clown. Reinvested on advise in Diamler, after Mercedes-Benz and Diamler Trucks North America demonstrated their research and work into creating true autonomous technology and safe global industry standardizations.
Estonian E-citizenship saved my butt a few years ago when due to fire I was forced to be homeless in the US, and as a nomadic van dweller found it very hard without a physical address and documents to prove I exist. My Estonian E-citizenship was all I had left, and offered me a lifeline when I got forced into a nomadic lifestyle without a permanent physical address. This sucks, especially in a country like the U.S., where residency requirements can hinder almost all essential activities. For someone like me working as a contract engineer, that access to e-services—like banking, digital signatures, and business registration allowed me to maintain some seamless continuity of professional operations throughout the ordeal. The digital infrastructure allowed me to maintain financial and legal stability, despite lacking a documents and a U.S. address. Estonian E-citizenship, as a US citizen was ironically easier to get than replacements for the national documents that were lost in the fire. Worth having! Pretty powerful tool for maintaining professional independence and resilience. Our systems in the U.S. seem totally cave man rock and stone in comparison.
I've had a wallet lost and another stolen. It was pretty easy to go the the MVD and have them replace my ID card, one of the times including an address update. They were able to identify me based on the photo in said system and was relatively painless. From there, getting a duplicate social security card has also been relatively painless. Even ordering replacement birth certificates, which includes county border changes since my birth. It takes a few weeks, and you do need a physical address to deliver to.
I know there are homeless resources you can use as a physical address to receive mail like this when trying to re-establish your life. My SO and one of my friends both work with orgs in this space. It's not nearly as fast as some might like, but it isn't in the end all that difficult at all.
