> something in the realm of 20 years should be enough. God no. Right now, we'd be getting remakes from every piece of pop-culture that was semi-popular in the 80s-2002 time frame. Not just movies, but TV series, books, theatre, mu

That's 100 ships with better conditions than there would be otherwise. For me, that by itself is enough of a point (though there's more).

I dunno about the findings from the 60s, but non-moving rotors would not keep a helicopter in the air... so at least some progress. It's not clear whether this thing can steer (by changing ion balance?), if this prototype can't bu

You have a point, though I would see it as an exists operator (\exists_A A\implies B) than a modal operator. But that might be because it's been a while since I used modal logic :)

Every video, I get errors in the UI. I once powered through, it seems eventually the video does play normally. Perhaps that is because of blocked ads(by newpipe then - I have no other restrictions on mobile)

If you want to figure out why the Industrial Revolution didn't happen somewhere imaginary, you might want to consider those places on Earth where it was imported instead of having happened. That is: comparing to the UK is less interes

As someone without any diagnostic training, I would also think that someone that is in a depression (A) could write a blogpost like that (B). That is, I can imagine that A ==> B is true. However, even if that were actually so in the real

Movie theory (not mine): the bad acting is intentional on the director's part. He may have intentionally cast pretty faces with little talent as a shoutout to fascist films who did similar.

To the best of my knowledge: GDPR has no exception for public data. If you have PII, you need a reason. Consent is a reason; "needed for the requested business" (eg. home address for online shops) is a reason. "Having fun wit

That works well amongst equals. It fails when some have more power than others and can use that to hurt those others for things they disagree with. E.g., this is why true democracy needs secret ballots. Perhaps you and I aren't afraid

Overpass is called "viaduct" in Dutch, though a multi-lane overpass is often colloquially called a tunnel. We do have tunnel-like structures for what technically are overpasses, eg.: bike path next to a river; major multilane roa

That comment about the stack of CDs mysteriously disappearing right from under the presenter's nose while he kept on fiddling with his slides is hilarious.

I was addressing your analogy to "stolen election". At any rate, I'm just pointing out that (1) any decent project would address this situation once they were aware of it, (2) Apache is aware of it, and (3) they had way, way

An unwillingness to update a webpage as well as refusing to do bare maintenance for years is astounding. It could have been an unintentional oversight, until the 2020 letter by LibreOffice. (Yes that was not the first to comment). As far as

The UK already had exceptional status on various rules - they were more a half-member than a full member. So clearly, the EU already cared enough to make exceptions. The Brexit vote was different: the UK government chose[1] to interpret its

A reason in favour of expats voting is that they should have a say on things that affect their citizenship. You can definitely argue how far that argument holds sway - after all, any government could change its citizenship rules for expats.
