I, for one, look forward to our new RUST overlords...

I have been looking for something that would ingest a decade of old Word and PowerPoint documents and convert them into a standardized format where the individual elements could be repurposed for other formats. This seems like a critical building block for a system that would accomplish this task.

Now I need a catalog, archive, or historian function that archives and pulls the elements easily. Amazing work!

This is what makes Hacker News such an astounding resource for thought provoking insight. I take the American perspective on free speech as nearly a theological imperative despite the problematic side effects. The alternatives strike me as far worse. Free speech drives faster resolution and remediation to the socially unacceptable. The ideas and behaviors highlighted by the reviewer are not new to society and collectively we do not stand in a place in a place, "never before seen." Our tools for communicating, identifying, and correcting the evils in this world are better than ever. Evil is just so damned ingenious. That isn't speech's fault.

The kimberlite source of these phytoliths and their age makes me question our confidence in their origination from the arctic surface. Is it at all possible this material was cycled through plate tectonics which subducted it from a southern source and eventually ejected far north through volcanic action? I mean, a lot could happen over 48M years...

This problem has already been solved by the MRI machines at your local airport. Cost and performance are not the issues. For $25 your luggage gets an MRI that automatically differentiates between organic molecules in seconds. How easily could this be adapted for free annual screenings at the mall?

But that's not the objective, and so your research is doomed

The medical equipment industry will not suffer fools who don't understand 'regulatory capture' and 'rent seeking.'

Those hospital machines are expensive and rare for reasons that have very little to do with cost or performance
