oh hey, a project that actually has a manual to read

can we at least put “scientist” in quotes whenever referring to any of these three?

the Internet and the Web are fine – Web 2.0 was where things started going wrong – the cancer that begat the parasites of Web 3.0, crypto coin, and LLMs feeding off the twitching remains

“hacked” or just used the FBI’s own backdoors?

for aviation, we already have airships (which use something like 8% of the power of an airplane)

the biggest “gotcha” is time – taking a week to get to a destination when you only get two weeks vacation is a no go – which means, just like trucks, electrifying aviation and maritime is going to be limited to cargo and commercial for the time being

¹ Take care not to practice your righteousness in the sight of people, to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.

² So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, so that they will be praised by people. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. ³ But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, ⁴ so that your charitable giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

⁵ And when you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they will be seen by people. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. ⁶ But as for you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door, and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you

historical example: Sukiyaki by Kyu Sakamoto – released in Japan in 1961 under “Ue o Muite Arukō” – released in US in 1963 under “Sukiyaki” because that was about the only Japanese word Americans knew …

what could be safer than having all the doors lock to contain the battery fire?
