> Even today there is much more salt/minerals in the oceans than water can hold.

No, not at all. Where have you heard something like this? The salts are dissolved in the water, they aren't supersaturated at all. Yes, they can precipitate out if conditions change but you can pretty much take a container of seawater and let it sit for a long time without any of it precipitating out.

It's also worth noting that even with a very efficient process it takes a lot of energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. In addition, the storage/delivery of the hydrogen takes a lot of equipment and energy, the hydrogen itself tends to escape easily and corrode equipment, and converting the hydrogen back into energy does not happen with 100% efficiency.

Hydrogen has a few key uses but it is really not a good replacement for most uses of fossil fuels because of these issues.

It's a clever way to try to turn a sow's ear into a silk purse, for sure. Personally, I think they should take the extra step of removing that sliver too. All it does is highlight that there's a hole in the display.

> At least that section of the display is usable and functional now.

The little useless sliver above the island that only serves to highlight the empty space? I don't know if I agree that it's very functional.

Yeah, I find the island so much more distracting than the notch. I'll stick with my current phone until the island goes away.

Your ISP can do the same thing, the sites you visit can do the same thing. At some point your data is vulnerable, the only true way to be safe is to be a luddite and not generate any data at all.

Stuff like Hide My Email is there so you can have some measure of control over who sends you email and it works well for that.

Private Relay is great too. I hope that others follow suit and produce more products that protect your privacy.

I'm loving Apple's Hide My Email to make a unique email for each company:

> Hide My Email generates unique, random email addresses that automatically forward to your personal inbox. Each address is unique to you. You can read and respond directly to emails sent to these addresses and your personal email address is kept private.

It's very easy to create a unique email and know if the company sells it because then it will start being used by other companies. I can then filter or abandon that email address and not have my main email address affected.

> I've often heard people say wild turkey meat is garbage compared to farm raised

Wild turkey has a "gamey" flavor which many people associate with it being "off" and not as good. Farm-raised has a "cleaner" flavor, more like farm-raised chicken. Some people like the wild flavor, some people like the domesticated flavor.

It's similar to the differences between venison and beef or mutton and lamb. Both venison and mutton have a ton of flavor but some people don't like that flavor, they prefer the lighter flavors of farm-raised beef or lamb.

You get those with crypto?

You do realize that you don't need crypto for that purpose, right? In fact, crypto is a very bad asset to hold in that manner because its value is so unstable. You're much better off holding on to some durable goods that have value even when society collapses rather than a few bits of data which can collapse right along with society.

I agree, let’s stop entirely.

You know what saves even more? No crypto.

Well, they called the other bandages "hydrogen bandages" even though they are "hydrogel bandages". Either it's bad proofreading or another example of the writer being clueless.

> There are hydrogen bandages, and then this newly developed wireless smart bandage.

Not to mention it's a very short 2 paragraph "article" that consists of 3 sentences and a bunch of bad punctuation. It doesn't even give a link to the research on which it's reporting. Pretty much the definition of a useless post just designed to get clicks and serve ads.

All it took was a tiny bit of poking around and I found a much better article on this:

Wireless smart bandage promotes faster closure of wounds, enhances skin recovery

The question really becomes how do bikes that are gasoline-powered compare to the electric ones, in terms of safety. It could be that gasoline ones are even worse but aren't in the news as much.

It's only net-zero if you don't consider all the other inputs, such as the fuel used in processing and transporting feed. A considerable amount of energy goes into farming and there are considerable impacts from the farming.

I agree that if this methane capture and use is a side-effect of farming then it's a bonus to reduce the impact of the farming. It would still be tough to call it net-zero carbon.

Calling something "clean" is a relative term. Pretty much everything is "dirty" in some sense but it can be less so than earlier methods. This idea is more "clean" than what it supplants. There are also ideas that are more "clean" than this one, but which aren't ideal at this time.

To be fair, here's what the article said:

> However, a CEFC spokeswoman added it would be open to taking on additional local fleets interested in trying the cleaner fuel.

They didn't call it "clean", just "cleaner". Yes, the company is named Clean Energy Fuels Corporation so that's a bit misleading but I can forgive it since that's a marketing thing. Calling them Cleaner Energy Fuels Corporation doesn't really ring as well.

Right, this is simply a bridge. It's much better than allowing methane to be released into the atmosphere and carbon dioxide to be produced from burning diesel fuel. Eventually both methane and carbon dioxide production should be reduced as much as possible through other methods.

It will take time to make that kind of transition and this is a good intermediate solution until we get there.

> Hydrogen is the way to go for the automotive industy and internal combustion engines.

Hydrogen has a lot of tough problems to conquer and it may never be a viable energy storage medium. It embrittles components, it tends to leak easily, it's expensive to produce, difficult to transport and store, and so on. It's also not a fuel, it's an energy storage medium so you need to produce the energy to create it in the first place. At that point you might as well put that energy into a medium that doesn't have all the problems that hydrogen has.

There are a few promising methods of using hydrogen to store energy but they are still in the experimental stages and may never get off the ground. For example, you can store hydrogen in metal hydrides or use it to produce ammonia and then release it from those to use as a fuel when you need it. There are still problems to be overcome with these storage methods but they are probably leaps and bounds better than storing hydrogen as a cryogenic liquid or under high pressures.

> Burning methane still produces carbon dioxide. That isn't "clean."

Methane is a much stronger greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. They estimate this by using carbon dioxide as a baseline and calculating the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of methane. With this measure the GWP is how many multiples of the energy absorbed by the material vs that of carbon dioxide.

Methane Vs CO2: Which Is the Most Potent Greenhouse Gas As White House Unveils New Pledge

> Methane has a GWP of between 28 and 36 over 100 years, according to the EPA, meaning it is significantly more potent as a greenhouse gas than CO2.

This is the equation for burning methane: CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O

That means that each liter of methane will produce one liter of carbon dioxide (equal moles are roughly equal volumes for gasses at the same temperature and pressure). So burning a liter of methane instead of releasing it is about the equivalent of saving 30 liters of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, in terms of global warming. This doesn't include using the energy produced to reduce the amount of diesel that doesn't need to be burned to run vehicles.

That means the process the article is talking about is significantly more "clean" environmentally.

It's a net positive as long as they are getting the methane from sources that would be there already. For example, if the animals are already being farmed for other reasons and the manure is just fermenting and releasing methane that's not being captured.

Capturing this existing methane and burning it is a pretty big win for greenhouse gas reasons. Using that energy to replace burning diesel is also a pretty big win. It's not as good as phasing out the need for both farming animals and running internal combustion engines but it's a great bridge to when that can happen.

It isn’t, really. That system is built-in to the automations on the iPhone. All they’d need to do is expose the setting and make it available to be used in an automation.
