It's getting to be a flood.

I don't understand why he doesn't start up a blog and post them there?

I'd really rather read about broader technological issues here.

Details here: http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/04/blacklight-power-claims-validation-and.html#more with the significant quote being: "Validations and Technical Due Diligence - underway with National Labs, defense contractors, electronics manufacturers, large conglomerates, multi-national energy compani...

I'm no quantum physicist, but shouldn't the act of observing have forced the selection of one state or the other?

EDIT: nevermind. I'm going to try to maintain an open mind.

Ida May Fuller worked for three years under the Social Security program. The accumulated taxes on her salary during those three years was a total of $24.75. Her initial monthly check was $22.54. During her lifetime she collected a total of $22,888.92 in Social Security benefits. Alright, I looked h...

I'd like to know what you are proposing as an alternative. I think one of the comments sums it up well: "As an individual who paid into SS for 47 years at maximum rate (4.7 times the minimum quarters) and Medicare for 40 years I believe that I should receive, am entitled to, the benefits currently b...

I understand what Skipjack is getting at. If you took someone from 1900 America and dropped him into 1950 America, he'd be a lot more disoriented than someone taken from 1950 and dropped into 2000. Some real miracles in biotechnology, medicine, agriculture and even life extension are in the embryoni...

So what does that mean? Prices rise until an object of desire is just barely affordable. You want more disposable income? Live in a smaller house. That can be hard to do actually, at least in some places. The developers are all set on building closely-packed McMansions instead of cottages. And the ...

Two lies in two sentences and one sentence without relevance. "Lowering taxes on the rich certainly hasn't worked for us." We've scarcely done it yet, and to the extent we've done it, it worked out just fine. We are plainly on the confiscatory side of the Laffer curve. It was done in the Reagan era...

The problem with the dot com boom and later the housing boom was that they were bubbles. They were the creation of the illusion of wealth, not actual wealth.

The U.S. (and Canada) needs to create new industries. Like the manufacture of fusion generators, perhaps? Hopefully.

This law should only apply where public transit is a reasonable (repeat, reasonable) alternative.

Lowering taxes on the rich certainly hasn't worked for us. The rich have gotten richer and everyone else has either stagnated (while working longer hours) or lost ground. The concentration of wealth in the country is reaching levels not seen since the twenties. The rich were also quick enough to dem...

MIT chemist Dan Nocera has formed a startup company, Sun Catalytix, with the aim of applying home solar PV arrays (30 square meters) to the generation of a 30 KWh equivalent of hydrogen during four hours of sunlight. This is apparently done using a cobalt-phosphate catalyst to split water through "a...
