Not as weird as one might think, fasteners produce local loads and require holes, so designing without them would be much better. It has been a goal for decades but progress is slow! Maybe uncrewed vehicles can be iterated on more rapidly.

How does it work with dictators? I suggest it's a spectrum: the more powerful you are, the more you can surround yourself with yes-men. Of course there are a lot of different people, there's probably very grounded dictators and bi

There's at least missile, gun, laser and electromagnetic countermeasures for air threats. It has been a mainstream subject for long, for example against aircraft and missiles. But also lots of startups also in this space, especially a

Thanks, I was quite mistaken indeed! I wonder how much onshore England then affected the big picture.

Are they selling to UK that AFAIU stopped building wind 10 years ago. Regulatory advantage...

Good comment. For people with physics and mathematics skills and intuition, learning or discussing about color or music theory can be a little bit frustrating experience. Ie a lot of it is about traditions and some famous people's idea

I have long experience of multiple German car brands. The interface spectrum goes like this: driving and seats etc are close to perfect for me. As long as it's about buttons, they are really good. But once it goes to screens, it starts

Well I'm in Finland and seems the system here has multiple independent services and is thus potentially more resilient.

Don't banks have their own id:s as well? At least in another nordic country, you have quite many login possibilities to many services. Banks even provide cross-login.

What do you think is the most complex thing here, genuinely? Masten Space's Xombie first flew in 2009 and has done 227 launches and landings. These are of course small rockets with modest performance. So maybe the hard part is the scal

I guess I have a lot less emotional attachment to the end product. But it was fun building it, as I didn't have to deal with all the not fun stuff like learning syntax and libraries and compatibility issues etc.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions everyone! I'm foremost a guitar player which probably shows, so this was something I assumed could be a problem indeed. I'll have to think about it, but many of the suggestions sounds good.

I did not write a single line character of code directly, everything was by instructing Claude Code.

For working with data, I certainly like lists and trees with automated layout and dislike 2d space with human drag-and-drop layouts. I assume most people are like this, and the start menu was a huge improvement. Most people would have been

Yes it's odd that nobody I know has copied this. Clearly better than what Slack and Teams are doing.

Between stable and contract honoring entities it's also possible to trade for things that not everyone produces, or do large long term investments in things like mines or refineries outside your own territory.

I live in a place that has harsh winter conditions with ice, gravel and the occasional loose tire stud flying into people's windshields, warranting frequent expensive replacements. Somebody on the radio said that "just set the ada

Just like in I guess a large portion of human history after farming started. You abandoned the fields and retreated to the walled hilltop when the enemy came. Maybe that's what we have been genetically conditioned to expect and that&#x

Of course. But your comment that speed is not a factor was incorrect.

Thought experiment: Let's say you are simulating ten thousand satellites on your computer, and the simulation runs until there is a crash. Now let's say the simulation runs for an hour normally. If you increase the speed of the si

Speed matters a lot. You can fit a lot more walking people than speeding motorcycles in the same space. Satellites need to travel at 8 km/s to not fall down.

Yeah, since there's lots of countries and some are very dynamic and modern, maybe they could act as early adopters. But don't stop there: if it works for the early adopters, others could also apply their lessons. For example Eston

A financialization example: Somehow some company's stock became the go-to for investors that had continuous expectations just for the stock, and not about actual company health. And the company chose to prop up the stock quarter per qu
