occasional women on the internet may be sacrificed to FF's ire if we get posts that are regularly as good as his.

Danann posted:https://twitter.com/ed_fin/status/1741885452859187497 like so much this will be entirely self inflicted. the usage of air travel by Americans is heavily pareto /power law biased. a small number of people going to a small number of cities is the vast majority of the total air traffic. A tight loop of high speed rail in the northeast corridor could readily replace most of it. lower carbon emissions, lower costs, less disruption risk, etc. a no brainer on several levels. but that would mean discomforting the present grifters so the obviously strategically sound decision is ignored

palindrome posted:I like the idea of space mineral exploitation. It's obviously out of reach and completely infeasible but it's fun to imagine spaceX moving a huge chunk of gold, platinum, or emeralds into near earth orbit. But then rather than actually land it on earth or use the material for manufacturing, it becomes a threat used to manipulate market prices on spreadsheets. so, the thing is that what makes mining feasible, and how we get “mining strikes” and “seams” of minerals is that billions of years ago vast mats of microorganisms concentrated those elements in a location. you’ve got all sorts of stuff in parts per billion concentrations in sea water and algae would bring that water in and excrete the other elements, resulting in higher and higher concentrations over time that would get locked in rock until we came along to dig it out. you can see the same process today in things like bog iron. anyways the point is that the concentrations that make mining profitable are the result of ancient biological processes. and those wouldn’t have happened in space what with there not being life out there to do it. so while it is true that there is gold and platinum and uranium and titanium and all that out there, it is still in the original parts per billion concentrations. you won’t get gold nuggets, you will instead get a few micrograms per liter. so yeah, asteroid mining won’t be a thing. palindrome posted:It's cool though cause once you're out of orbit, everything you escaped from is downhill from you. The moon could gently caress up earth big time just from the kinetic energy advantage it has. Start throwing mass down at the planet from your WW4 style moon/orbital station fortress. while it is true that going “down” just takes a nudge, the thing is you generally want to hit a specific thing you are targeting and not just to hit anything “down”. And that requires approximately the same amount of delta-v as it takes to put something up at the high location in the first place. so there really isn’t an advantage, unless your plan is just gross bombardment to devastate the biosphere

Thanks! Weird that I've never seen it written that way in all these years. Also, America will lose WW3 because no one living in America gives a poo poo about America past making a buck. I'm incredibly impressed with what I see China doing and I wish them all the best as there is no chance America or Americans will ever be part of the solution.

i mean, to be fair, the US category is Finance, Real Estate, and Rentals whereas the China graph has that broken up into 3 sections. If you add those three sections together they equal just about the same amount as the US one. industry still massive though, obvi

Just go back to making everything out of wood. We can plant more tree farms.

asteroid mining is only a thing if you have enough poo poo already out of the gravity well that it there's value in getting water, carbon, silicates and iron without having to launch it mining asteroids to throw any of that poo poo back down to earth is and forever will be eminently pointless

you'd probably have to count "Professional and business services" of the US if you're comparing
= 33.3%
