Could just destroy the ring in a fusion reactor.
- Comment on Humans prefer to walk anticlockwise, scientists find – but reason is unclear 3 days ago:
Probably just because most people are right handed and reach out (or are prepared to reach out) with their right hand.
- Comment on Naming it World War 1 was a bad omen 1 week ago:
Yeah, but that’s just like ‘this is the first time we’ve had a war that pretty much encompasses the whole world’. Not that it really even did, but that’s beside the point.

New tech is almost always more expensive as it is being developed. It becomes more efficient over time as it scales up and as improvements are figured out. You only see the new tech becoming available at the retail level once it’s cost has come down to around the same as that of existing solutions (unless there are non-market forces, like governmental policy at play). So the new stuff comes in at the same price, but then has the potential to get cheaper to produce. Of course, unlesss there is an abundance of supply, the retail user won’t see a cost reduction (unless there are non-market forces, like governmental policy at play) because the business using the new tech will charge what the market will bear to maximize profits. And the market cost is already established with the old tech.
