depends on profitable business, as in youtube videos generate ad rev which can be a decent amount based on views.

i know people have used it at their jobs to simplfy tasks. (you could consider this income since they are paid by hour)

Im sure some people probably has helped them reform ideas they have had for products or business.

you could use it to help generate childerns books.

you could use it to help with marketing.

etc

obv some would need to be farmers etc. but for example, with the tech and advancments we made, you dont nearly need as many people running farms as you use to.

and over time a lot of things like this could be automated by machines even more

i feel like the georgia guidestones already said this. whoever had these built spent a lot of money to do so, and most likely probably had a think tank or something to figure out the estimated number of people etc.

i mean lets be honest, for advanced tech per say, not a lot of the population contributes to it. so if you were able to pick and choose who to keep, im sure you could pick enough smart people, enough laborors, and enough people who specialize in medicine etc to continue on humanity in the way it is today!

Reply to comment by SoylentRox in Programmable matter by crua9

I dont think you can really compare human cells and programmable matter tbh.

but id disagreee to the being as strong or light, as their is various factors of the property of a material based on how its arranged at the atomic scale.

it all would really depend on the programmer who will write the program to make said object.

and in theory their could be hundreds of programmable matters. each with unique traits that can connect together etc.

like say a part of an object you need, needs to be flexible, but the shell around it needs to be hard and conductive.

so a rubber/plastic programmable matter and a copper or steel like programmable matter would connect together to create said object

I highly doubt we will have real programable matter in our lifetimes.

is it possible, yeah. are we close to it. no.

> chemical dependence

off personal expirence i'd have to disagree, i had chemical dependence on a drug i was prescribed, never really had a psychological, & sociological aspect to it. and it was hell getting off it.

just because you dont have the psychological, & sociological aspects does not mean its wont be hard and you can easily fail by taking another dose to get rid of the nasty withdraw feelings

i never meant all drugs had both components, and i dont wanna go into details on what i did in the past, but i dealt with physiological & psychological addictions seperatly before.

Even if the success rate is low, its still success is it not?

and yeah i agree on thinking their will never be a cure and my post went over there should be funding to provide these treatments and supplys to people.

Well there is 2 Types of addiction, Psychological Addiction which is the mental aspect of it. and the Physical aspect of Addiction like withdraws, the dopamine release etc.

We have ways to treat withdraws the main part of physical addiction, but what causes a lot of people to relaspe is the Psychological addiction.

Psychological addiction is so hard to treat, because it can literally become a personality trait of the persons life. and some people literally feel like they can't live or have a happy life without it.

Right now the best ways we have to treat the Psychological aspect is therapy, support groups like AA, NA, etc, and general family support and love.

I'm not sure we will ever see a full out cure to be honest, but i think the best route we could take is funding these treatment options for people who really do want help, and i know there is a lot of mixed feeling on this topic. but these centers that give out supplys and clean needles etc.

> n air-tight high quality insulation for the container before worrying about the gel. When you get to that use the second wikipedia source below for high specific heat capacity materials as a starting point to create your gel. Spoiler: ice or salty water might be the best bet for low temp applications like this one. > > If you have a container full of just your product at 5C and you put it in the sun the solar radiation will heat that container with about 1000Watts/square meter. With zero insulation it's going to heat up pretty fast. Sade the box and you reduced the Watts/square meter that you need to deal with. Insulate the box and you change the speed that heat energy can move from the box surface to the box interior. Now you can't use these techniques to completely solve the heating problem, provide a reservoir of cold mass that can soak up a lot of energy without changing temperature. This is where the heat capacity of your gel (or whatever, it could be a container of ice) comes into play. > > Water is a great example of this since water has a very high heat capacity. To illustrate it put plain water ice in a pan and turn on the heat. The ice will soak up a lot of energy turning to liquid before allowing the temperature of the water in the pan from rising above 0C. (this is in an ideal case of course blah blah assumptions, massless pistons and frictionless surfaces, etc) > > Read more about specific heat capacity:

I was looking at the best insulation for protecting stuff from heat, and found Aerogel to be one of the best, do you think this would also work as insulation for keeping something cool like this?

with that, and salt water Shell inside, i feel like the internal temp would remain pretty cool.

its probably a bit costly with the cost of aerogel and the precautions you got to take handling it etc

What if you had one, that continuously charged using wireless charging as long as you were somewhere in your house.

As wireless charging advances, i think many things will take advantage of things like this, like Roombas, You might not even need a battery on board on some devices

Advancements in space travel, space mining.

The tech we will need to invent to accompany it. Like Planetary Internet we can adapt and change as we travel to new places. Like mars.

NASA is looking at setting up a Moon Internet in the far future once we get bases going on the base, so the bases and Low Orbit Space Station outside the moon. can all communicate with eachother.

We will likely need to build special types of satellites to act as relay stations between us and mars once we get there and start building bases and settlements etc.

But what if we get to a point to where we can achive new types of communication. Like using Quantum entanglement, Or Modulating Tiny Gravitional Waves and Using Detectors on each end to convert different levels of waves to 1's and 0's
