  • A two-child household must earn $400,000 a year for childcare to be affordable, study says. ‘It’s easy to see why birth rates are falling’

    Jump

  • Right, we are to assume that basically everyone with children is bankrupt now? I don't think that is the case.

    Costs vary widely across the vast nation. Not making anywhere near 400k here and doing fine.

  • Glasshole radar: academic fed up with smart glasses builds a detection app

    Jump

  • Great use of tech and knowledge. Video-recording glasses wearers can't complain about this because they are sending the Bluetooth signals to be detected.

    We need to scale this idea up - apps to detect the known types of signals emitting from camera systems like Flock, Ring, and other similar mass surveillance garbage.

  • New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater

    Jump

  • Sounds like it came from that article about the new kind of sodium batteries with vanadium that are doing that desalination business. I was describing the general technology rather than that specific new one in the article.

  • Sodium-ion batteries are not hype though, they are in production use in multiple industries already. They are generally superior to Lithium based batteries in all regards, with the exception of having a bit lower energy density. An equivalent LiFePO4 battery might be 70-80% of the size for the same storage. It's not a big deal for large applications like cars and solar storage.

  • Floating turbine towers above — the S1500 hovers to harvest wind at 131 feet

  • The voltage being sent down would have to be really high to avoid loss going through such a long and probably thin cable. Like the difference in voltage loss going through a 100' romex cable of 10-gauge wire with 12v DC vs 120v AC - you just can't do it with 12v DC because the loss is far too high, but it's no problem with 120v AC.

    Magnify those losses times 500 for your 5000' cable... maybe you need a 5000v line... then you have a dangerous high-voltage line flying around in the air. High-voltage transmission lines can arc to ground if they find a path, even though they're insulated wires.

    But I guess those guys probably know about that stuff too.

  • It's not that hard to comprehend both measurement systems. Both are valid and it's up to the author to choose how they want to express their figures. You can send them a complaint if you want, but complaining about their measurements here isn't going to change anything.

  • Yep they should have. At least they did some things, more than prior or subsequent administrations have.

  • Trump’s FBI issued ‘stand down’ order on Epstein probe just days after arrest: report

    Jump

  • That's fake news. The fact is that Epstein was dead, and they prosecuted and sentenced Maxwell during the Biden term. They also investigated Epstein's financial ties, uncovering $billions in wire transfers to Epstein from people like Les Wexner, during the Biden administration - look up Ron Wyden's investigation, which was suddenly denied access to those records in January 2025.
