Yeah - its important to set aside space where we can both recognize Elon has done some impressive things, but also rightfully point out he has consistently been a massive bellend. Regarding the landing rockets issue, I've found BPS S

Barring some sort of Carl Icahn "activist investor" forcing themselves on to the board, I don't see SpaceX changing anything. Bad PR doesn't affect a company which makes its money mostly through long-term government cont

As a user of Thunderbird on desktop and user/donor to K-9 on Android this is incredible news. Super excited to see cketti's work get a major FOSS organization behind it. Contrary to some other comments, I have actually been really

I mean, if you can acquire or otherwise reverse-engineer[0] the game seed, you can also just find resources by loading a local copy and noting the coordinates of ore. For major servers, anti-xray plugins will be installed as due diligence,

I did two things that greatly helped me. 1) I at least made an attempt at some of Cal Newport's suggestions in "Deep Work" and schedule working blocks for myself. I adopt a different posture, maybe wear different clothes, If

At this point in your hypothetical, if we're still talking about the US dollar, you'll have a lot more to worry about than generating a return on your investment. If you think this is a serious potential outcome, then I suggest yo

My family is a bit of a Chaco cult. We've climbed 14'ers in Colorado in them, my sister wore Chacos under her wedding dress, and I unintentionally ended up living and working close to the HQ. I personally have walked 10 miles in a

That's true, but its a deeper problem with that. The moderation is a sort of "in protest" form, with lots of deliberate "blind eyes" and slow action so they don't get deplatformed by the app stores etc. Beyond

What is this "Listerine case" you mention? It sounds interesting and important.

One thing that both terrifies and, oddly, comforts me is that when we zoom out to the highest scales of the universe, its clear that there are questions we cannot answer . Its like the halting problem for metaphysics.

Obviously most devs will answer yes to this question. However, I don't think the implied conclusion (software devs copy each other, so the legal apparatus applied to software is okay doing so, too) is a valid one. For one, this is har

I think the article author agrees with you. That's why they put 'work' in quotes. It is useful for their argument to split 'work' and 'not work' along these lines because they are trying to reach readers t

That's a bit callous of you, not to mention shortsighted. If the Baby Boomer generation loses financial security, they will as a group A) tighten their spending habits and B) not retire. Either of these effects on their own would hurt
