Comment Recharge it with nuclear (Score 1) 169

A small modular reactor in the near vicinity of one of these would be a great way to perpetually charge this battery farm, supply clean energy during all usage hours, and step in for when the battery farm has a failure that leads to sudden and potentially dramatic discharge of its capacity. The greenists will realize that the new designs are practically meltdown proof (unless you override the numerous safety precautions, AND disable/lock out the analog safety systems). And the non-greenists will realize lower energy prices.

Respectfully, no party actually cares about their voting base. Modern politicians have no incentive to fix problems. They only care about getting elected, and they use problems as campaign fodder. They promise to fix the problems, but once they are in office, they do nothing. This is because fixing problems is hard and it takes time. It is much easier to just make promises and then blame the other party when the problems don't get fixed.

Comment Obligatory: World Ending (Score 1) 18

Now that the machines are making modifications to code affecting potentially billions of computers worldwide (these updates may be upstreamed to mainline), it's a mere matter of time before AI reaches sentience on a distributed platform at the kernel level. All under the noses of those pesky human "contributators".
