Im so done with artists and moral apostle speeches. They contribute nothing to the conversation. They work on a hypothetical humanity - that never was real. That adheres to laws and strifes for unity in economic crisis times. Well bad news,

Question: Wouldn't it make sense, to build servers into the north side surface of sky-scrapers? There would be tremendous usage for those updraft winds and they could get solar power from the south sides shades..

Because if other civilizations develop minds- the minds take over- and derive from all worlds the one best outcome- and then join the culture who is already riding the golden path.

Sweden, is .. a strange country. Yes, its liberal. But at the same time. Its part of the old world, as in the ancient world, that was before the WorldWars. It had eugenics until the 2000s.

There is no market fit for ICBM-Warhead controllers- that whole fairchild smart sand idea is a total state-driven bust. The problematic part is to think about finished products, instead of "developed capabilities" which might end

When space expands it produces gravity? Like a groaning ship ripped apart, something snaps, when nothing is produced and becomes a place, producing a small background ripple. Concentric from the big bang outwards, like growth rings, draggin

My biggest gripe with lua was that depending upon the internals of the implementation, it could "swallow" an error entirely. The program would just die in absolute silence and not give an error at all or any indication it was stil
