That’s exactly the point of the video

The Animatrix described it fairly closely

I’ve seen this before, but didn’t realise they got milkdrop working. I bought an MMX compatible processor specifically to be able to run this, back in the day.

And he also made false teeth

In the UK it’s quite unusual to have a fixed rate mortgage that goes that long. Normally you’d get a decent rate for 2-5 years, at which point the rate changes to whatever the current default is, and you get the opportunity to fix for another few years

We’d probably need a few people to keep track of things, but that’s quite a powerful position so we’d need a system to switch them out for better people if they start making decisions we don’t like. And if some people are growing corn and others are catching fish, should they just trade them directly? Maybe some system to keep track of how much of next year’s corn you’re swapping for the fish I gave you last week… And grandma is pretty old now, should we feed her? Can I ask my neighbours to help feed her?

How rich? How should the empathy be shown? Is it a sliding scale where the lines meet in the middle somewhere?

Do we know for sure that Reddit doesn’t keep an edit history for comments?

Interesting that they note that the installation and upkeep are expensive. I wonder if they’ve factored the upkeep into the energy expenditure. Flat roofing is far worse than a pitched room for needing replacement etc.

Basically, it sounds good, but the research needs to consider the full lifecycle of these projects.

Bike shedding.

Let’s focus on this small but easily understood problem and hope that someone somewhere else is sorting out the big and difficult stuff.

I’m not sure how to do the cost/benefit analysis on this one. If it keeps the shipping lanes open, and avoids costs on pretty much everything going up, £30m might be quite cheap.

You’re thinking of the Schengen area. They’re slightly different.

Surely every company makes decisions on how best to increase income, that’s a pretty significant part of being a business.

So you’re saying that if he changes anything, he will personally lose out. He rose to the top of the previous system, there’s not a lot of motivation to mess with that.

Seems to work fine with Sherlock Holmes

Wouldn’t everyone agree they would do something better if they had more data to inform their decisions?

At the very least most people would tick a box saying they would.

At the time if no appropriate data was available, decisions still have to be made based on whatever is available. And a return to the previous status quo isn’t a crazy idea in that scenario.

Yes, most people hate the idea of commuting and trying to focus in an open plan office, but that’s not what the question was about.

Yup. Green hydrogen comes from splitting water with electricity from renewables.

Other flavours of hydrogen come from splitting natural gas, using electricity from burning stuff. Which isn’t as green.

Are you assuming that everyone currently alive is immortal? You may be in for some disappointment.
