I wasn't up to speed on where these guys were.

'70s. '80s. '90s.

We don't have to go back to that.

And I've got to tell you, this was one seriously quiet lunch.

And when you can do stuff like this

The energy density of waves varies from region to region.

Other transport efficiency, renewable technology, carbon capture and sequestration.

JA

Technology progresses steadily.

But it's the closest they can get to a landing.

I work for the Jet Propulsion Lab. I'm building the next Mars Rover.

And played around with this a little bit.

Technical

A species with your level of technology... doesn't possess the capability for time travel.

It's fallen by half.

It's the technicians that produce the desalinization plants.

I think it's a hopeless goal.

They are quite brittle. So you've only got a part of one there.

Technical consultant

So the whole area's been stuck for a while, and it got reignited in the '80s when analytical technologies and computer technologies were coming on.

Just a week ago, the National Academy of Engineering awarded its Draper Prize to Francis Arnold and Willem Stemmer, two scientists who independently developed techniques to encourage the natural process of evolution to work faster and to lead to desirable proteins in a more efficient way what Frances Arnold calls directed evolution.

We call that the bistro table, but it's not ready yet for prime time viewing.

Technical Reason

So this is what you call a last mile problem.

You should be nice to nerds. In fact, I'd go so far as to say, if you don't already have a nerd in your life, you should get one. I'm just saying.

New inventions are the passion of my life. My technology.

Now, they call me the local Spiderman. My technology.

You need talent, discipline and determination.

But when something like this happens, things are qualitatively changing.

A good example on Reddit is the voting click that vote, it doesn't reload the whole page or submit a form, it just sends that vote to the server and then the server records it.

Zach Kaplan Keith and I lead a research team.

I'm a puzzle guy. My wife is an expert in social media.

What needs to happen now is further development of our technology along with development of the instrumentation that allows us to see this sort of fluorescence in the operating room.

And you have to have the skills that it takes to get a company going.

Technical Details

Technical reason

Architectural, electrical plans? I got that.

Engineer. Painter.

Top of the line.

Be worth it.

They would have been gone if we'd kept that up one more year.

We'll be using a technique that's more advanced.

Before the Internet, the last great terror to rain down on the content industry was a terror created by this technology.
