I will go further. Do not have joint accounts with anyone unless your married. Even then keep nonmarital asserts separate.

Private equity.

I do not think it was seconds. Probably much less. It was not energy positive either except in a very narrow sense.

Keep in mind the Fediverse is more then Mastodon. Do not like Mastodon choose something else.

Nice thing about Mastodon is that a node can choose the moderation they want and boot anyone that is causing problems. The big platforms have to please everyone which pleases no one.

About the biggest delta v thst anyone has any idea how to build is 10% light speed which is still generational. Something like fusion drive.

Personally I would think you would have habitats all over the solar system for centuries first. The tech that went into those would naturally be what you needed for long term travel.

Before that you would also have waves of robotic probes doing the journey. You might even send fertilized eggs or frozen embryos a long with them with means to colonize that way instead like another commenter said.

If dorms work for you take dorms. If they do not, consider something else. Personally I liked dorm living...everything taken care of including meals... and I had good roomates though different every year. Plus I am a good sleeper, and could focus too regardless of what else was going on. So they really worked for me. Also avoided drama of dealing with immature off campus roommates.

I wonder if they have this sovereign citizen stuff too. A wink and a twirl and a bit of pixie dust and suddenly laws do not apply somehow.

There is surely an upper limit to useful technology but we are not near it. Who knows if we will ever reach it.

More to your point... there are short term limits to certain lines of technology. Lot of IT is pretty incremental at the moment. AI though there is a lot of activity. On the other hand desktop and laptop computers not much has changed in MS Windows since 2000. Cell phones may be at that point at the moment.

The most practical is probably frozen fertilized eggs raise by robots. Another would be a big slow generation ship.

Is CFS one of the venture capital companies? I am very interested what will come out of some of these.

Using the numbers the article gave the current closed loop gain is about 1/357. Third laser efficiency is about 0.67%. Go to 20% laser efficiency is 30X. This brings the closed loop gain to 1/10.5. Improving the energy generated by 10X. You get to a closed loop gain just short of 1 at 0.95. So you need more then 10x. This assumes a 30% output to electricity conversion.

This is the one to watch.

If you think laser fusion is anything more then science, then maybe worthwhile. Personally I doubt that it is. There are a lot of other approaches that seem more sane.

Finally an article that admits that yes we are at least 2 orders of magnitude and probably more from anything close to true break even in the energy generation sense. So hard to find any article that admits that.

Until one gets to break even in the holistic sense this is just a curiosity. 2 to 3 orders of magnitude is a long way to go.

Personally I would just include this with whatever your cash management plan, emergency fund, and investment plan you have.

I generally do not favor separate accounts by purpose. Leads to lower returns and poor cash management and asset allocation. Not saying no but my preference.

My motto is place money by asset type not by purpose.

And any rating is by some arbitrary metric which is probably not very accurate.

They did say spies. So could be any alien you want.
