Yes please, that way I can start looking for a better provider, pay the money, or just ignore it. At the very least I’ll give you points for honesty, and might take that into account when making the decision about paying a bit more for a se

It’s all about control, and intimacy as a route to control. A bully uses it to instill dread, a company uses it to influence behavior to make money, but the root is the same.

In the absence of a competent system there is no solution, permanent or otherwise. It’s like trying to secure your laptop against someone who has physical possession of it; you can’t, they own it now.

Seriously? I’m going to have to follow the rules and charitably assume that you’re serious. Rocket fuel is expensive, the process of launching and recovering the vehicle is expensive, and every kg lifted is incredibly expensive. You would a

Solutions don’t need to be permanent if they can be repeated. A truly permanent solution would be to add them to the proverbial list of “they’ll be the first up against the wall when the revolution comes,” but I’d rather see less permanent,

That’s a fantastic response, thanks very much.

Actually you just dodged the cogent response you received. Because many of these people are essentially refugees fleeing violence and extreme poverty in their home countries. Instead of helping these people we're tearing them from the

I’m truly not overly familiar with the history of such cases. I’d appreciate some direction on how to undertake such a study. Any good places to start reading about this?

It’s almost like... people got hooked on pain pills pushed by Perdue and doctors, then their access was removed so they switched to “illegal heroin, fentanyl, and carfentanyl,” and started dropping dead. 40% drop on one hand and 40% rise on

That safety culture wasn’t born de novo, it was legislated into being after years of fighting with them. Remember Ralph Nader? The companies that now have a “strong safety culture” were the same that fought against seatbelts for Christ’s sa

It’s not about learning, it’s about allowing. Some companies like Uber and Tesla will do whatever they can get away with, for advantage in the market and ultimately money. The aerospace industry is safe because it is massively regulated.

Your phone already has your location through a number of means, it’s not like 911 is suddenly creating this fact. If you’re going incognito, and you have your phone on you, you’re not incognito.

Oh please. So individuals have to play by a rigged and ever-changing set of rules laid down by media conglomerate lobbyists and copyright lawyers, or they’re unprincipled? By that logic everyone would still be buying CD’s with malware from

I’m not, but neither is that the point. Obviously no one needs any of this, it’s always a matter of want. The question is how much it costs to get it, today, yesterday, and tomorrow. People crowing about the downfall of cable packages whi

Right, now you spend for Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, HBO, Showtime, Stars, CBS, and soon Disney. Plus Crunchyroll if you like anime, plus a sports package for sports. If this keeps going $100 will seem like a bargain, and piracy will surge. I al

Heat shielding for reentry is a solved problem, you will not lose 90% of anything, or have it explode.

You can fire it relatively slowly because of the low gravity of the moon, and take plenty of time bleeding v. Ideally there would be a space elevator and capture system to bring them back, but other methods work. You’re not just firing “at”

Alternative: crash the asteroids into the moon, have robots recover the valuable minerals. Use a rail gun system to fire it back to Earth, processed, while enjoying the low gravity of the moon.

Oh good, I was worried that this surreal conversation was missing the anti-abortion angle, but you totally brought it. Here’s a thought though, stop invading countries full of actual people and killing them before you worry about your foetu

Not as bad as Hitler, Stalin, and Mao... could the bar be any lower? If the only way you compare favorably is considering the greatest mass killers of the last century, that should tell you something.

If SpaceX pulls off their swarm of telecom satellites, we might get to see how it really works in widespread practice. Exciting prospect!

That’s a good point, the difference between vacuum and atmosphere isn’t so significant, but then it’s not really a new tech or “lightspeed internet” it’s just a satellite link.

by DmenshunlAnlsis 8y ago
You’d basically need a 1000km vacuum chamber to achieve that, which would be insanely expensive and an engineering miracle. I’m not even getting into what you’d be using as a transmission medium, because the vacuum chamber is prohibitive en
