No kidding! At some point Genghis Khan invaded Afghanistan. Over the next century Pax Mongolica made it as far as Egypt. Conquered swathes of Persia, felt cute, sacked Baghdad. Just Mongol things. Splintered into a bunch of Khanates that st

If Google were to go on a startup acquisition spree in this hot new competitive space in a further attempt to catch up - how would they locate and assess potential companies? Asking for a friend.

So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.

Pretty sure that is happening too. You might even be an unwitting participant right now. Bet Manson type murders will happen as well. Race riots. A Kennedy type young president will show up and get assassinated. There will be a new space ra

They currently send up Starlink satellites in batches of about 50 on the Falcon 9. On a more or less weekly cadence or 4 times/200 satellites a month. When Starship gets going it might carry as many as 400+ per launch. In other words e

I award this comment 218 doge for wholesome attitude. That clears all debts between us my good sir. Perhaps one day you can buy me a space beer on mars.

This is an enormously important launch. I had $20 it will be pushed to 4/20, so a lot riding on this. :) But seriously, I can't help but feel this is a historical moment. Hope you make the time to watch and remember it.

shrug All good, yeah. This place will end up a Mastodon instance of sorts but on the other hand HN is ancient and no community lasts forever. Onwards and upwards.

For sure karma doesn't mean anything and if it was just somebody rage downvoting it hardly matters. Rage flagging appears to give regular users mod like powers. I understand the counter argument you're making to my suggestion, hop

If 2-3 people decide that this warrenm fellow needs to be pushed out of the website for whatever reason they currently can coordinate and start flagging your posts left and right at every opportunity until you are effectively banned. It wil

The suggestion is to expose those who downvote and flag not just one comment but all comments by a user and not just in one thread but across unrelated threads and comments. As well as groups that coordinate in this manner. I don't kno

Solar panels on the moon are even less seasonal. How far away does it actually make sense to place them? Is your solar capacity and storage maxed out? How much would it cost to max it out? Is there a difference in practice between dependenc

You want to look at actual exports by country not reserves. Afghanistan is sitting on a couple trillion in minerals but you aren't getting that out reliably any time soon.

Panels covered in sand after a storm are zero percent efficient. In extreme heat they are 25% less efficient. Transmission over long distances is not lossless.
