It's for sure a product of its time, but it really doesn't feel like a 1999 movie. Around that time we had

  • Sixth sense
  • American beauty
  • Eyes wide shut
  • Being John Malkovich
  • Fight Club

Matrix has such a stark level of visual and thematic modernity compared to those. Maybe Fight Club comes near, but the other movies look like they're from a different decade.

I still can't believe The Matrix is from '99. The themes and the effects hold up incredibly well, it feels far more modern.

Arguably it is better than mining for coal, lithium, etc. since those have similar issues, but one gram of uranium contains energy similar to 3 tons of coal.

Fairly so - it isn't emissions, and does not contribute to the problem in a meaningful way.

The reason why emissions are dangerous is because they trap solar heat at large enough scales to change the global climate. Server farm heating isn't really anywhere near contributing at that scale.

Solid matter physics would be a more straightforward name - it's just the physics of matter that isn't liquid or gas, which usually means crystals.

Canada is not a Euro-zone country.

And also, Ireland is south of Denmark.

That's only "longtermism". EA as introduced by Peter Singer in "the life you can save" is an incredibly sincere and well founded philosophy of charity.

Original from Perry Bible Fellowship: https://pbfcomics.com/comics/one-more-day/

Weird that the text was re-written, I wonder if the comic was somehow translated and translated back to English?

How would you feel the charge outside the black hole? Electromagnetic interactions are mediated by photons, which are famously unable to escape black holes.

Technically ready and available now, just not ready to compete with classical computers.

Which, sadly, is a step above what fusion has achieved so far.
