Cities in areas that are hot and need relief from the Sun. Dubai might be interested in this. knock down the daytime temperature by 20-30 degrees Fahrenheit. Dubai has money to burn. Imagine the energy savings. Elon Musk... you wanna give this a go?

The economy vs. Technology

The rapid advancement of science and technology poses a dire threat to the free market structure, and I would like to hear your solutions or be proven wrong. I have always been a huge libertarian, but have yet to hear a rebuttal to my criticism that hasn't danced around the issue. One of the economic axioms of a free market is to have consumers who are both rational and informed, and yet as we progress farther, we have products that make society act irrational, of which it is exceedingly difficult to be informed about. Look no further than /sci/ itself, it doesn't matter which way you lean, it's evident that half of the people here are complete schizos/retards, and this is a board that supposedly attracts high IQ science/math enthusiasts. Our education system simply cannot keep up with the rate at which technology advances, and that leaves a populace that is either completely vulnerable to potentially dangerous products, or a populace that is much too cynical and cannot trust anyone. And the industries that will see this trend first are those most intertwined with science and math, especially the pharmaceutical and technology industries. The average 100iq caveman is going to get completely steamrolled because now everyone's lives depends completely on highly sensitive and vulnerable tech that nobody even fucking understands. How is the free market supposed to correct for an issue like this(take Facebook for example). There seems to be a fundamental clash between the free market and the tide of progress, and the only solutions I hear about are heavy regulation(which is even worse and leaves all that power in the hands of the state), or return to monke(which is only a temporary solutions because humans will always try to advance). Perhaps there's a solution within a goldilocks zone between our economy and tech(but I can't see how it is possible to maintain that), or maybe go the gene-editing route and make everyone smarter(which has the same issues as above).

please recommend me math books that i can use to define symetry in motor pattern during human locomotion... just a general guideline to shape up the correct mathemathicla expression that is the symetrical movement of opposing human body side in tandem motion...

it seems used in robotics but i dont know where to start

it doesnt have to perfect symetry too, just forming enough to be realistic
