Ah, yes. Maybe we could call it The Ministry of Thought.

It's not meant to, it's meant to dispel the common notion that no progress is being made in this area of research.

And the total power output doesn't need to remain exponential for fusion to be viable, we just need a way to sustain fusion reactions for a long enough period of time (china recently set a record with 101 seconds).

Seriously look into all the work being done on this currently by Government projects and private companies. I'm not saying it'll happen soon but significant progress has indeed been happening for a long time, and is only picking up pace as time goes on. As I said, this is likely the most difficult thing humans have ever attempted.

>Of course, you might feel differently, but one of my biggest takeaways from all of this side-by-side code is that Rust is clear, expressive

As someone who doesn't use either of these languages, I couldn't disagree more. The Javascript was intuitive and immediately made sense, while the Rust code gave me a headache.

Wouldn't that be a good thing? I mean, you'd have a tough time finding a computer for sale in 2019 that even has a CD drive, why care about it so much?

You literally have better odds of winning the powerball than your vote having any effect on the outcome of a general election. Even if it did, the people put in office are worried about themselves and the people they owe money to -- not your opinions.

Is there a meaningful difference?

This is an unrealistic expectation. You signed a legal contract when you signed up for an account stating that you're a-okay with them using your data.

r = {}; za = {}; fda = {}; intv = {}; function setH(div){za[div]=Math.floor(Math.random()100);fda[div]=((za[div]>50)?-1:1);i = setInterval(function(){ za[div] += fda[div]; div.style.height = za[div]+"%" ; if(za[div]==100||za[div]==0){fda[div]=-fda[div];}},Math.floor(Math.random() 540) + 60); intv[div] = i; return i}; function setR(div){r[div]=Math.floor(Math.random()100);i = setInterval(function(e){ ++r[div]; div.style.transform = "rotate("+r[div]+"deg)"; if(r[div]==360){r[div]=0;}},Math.floor(Math.random() 540) + 60); intv[div] = i; return i}; function killall(){for (k in intv){clearInterval(intv[k]);}}; setTimeout(function f(){setR(document.querySelector(".eye"));},100); setTimeout(function f(){setH(document.querySelector(".mouth"));},200); setTimeout(function f(){setR(document.querySelector(".rightarm"));},300); setTimeout(function f(){setR(document.querySelector(".face"));},400); setTimeout(function f(){setH(document.querySelector(".body"));},100);
