In that case someone found it and sold it to Gizmodo who tore it down and wrote an article about it. https://gizmodo.com/how-apple-lost-the-iphone-4-5520438

I 100% guarantee you SpaceX didn’t realize “oh wow it turns out Starlink is great for military applications. Wow we never realized that!” SpaceX makes tons of money off of military contracts and this is totally something they would have see

There are other factors that stop the kind of life we see on earth from appearing earlier in the universe’s history. For example the first stars (the pure hydrogen ones) could not have had planets that supported life and they burned too hot

I think another obvious answer would be to make community college classes available to prisoners. In California (and other places) it’s very easy to get community college for free regardless of income level. Doing this more widely and offer

For my40stv you could just search YouTube for “World War II Propaganda” I don’t think there was exactly a lot else on TV then

Yep so life on earth evolved about as early as reasonably possible.

It still wasn’t a super common thing so I’m not surprised. What about mold?

I don’t think they brought r/place back to distract users but to gain new ones from communities participating in place.

There’s a lot of cases where they wouldn’t work because passing a pointer to an element is the same as passing an array reference.

Honestly LLM generated and moderator edited/vetted answers would make SO vastly more useful

The universe is huge, if intelligent life exists outside the local group we have basically 0 way of being able to contact it, let alone visit it.

From what I’ve heard it’s completely plausible for pre industrial human civilizations to have existed and been wiped out in the past but anything past that point would leave things like heavy metals we could detect in the geological record.

Not necessarily, from what I heard humanity being alone is actually an extremely plausible solution to the Fermi paradox because we exist close to the beginning of the total lifespan of the universe.

Not being able to move faster than c is a pretty hard limit on everything in the universe. Unless our model of physics, the same one that predicted gravitational waves, black holes, time dilation, gravitational lending, etc. correctly is so

What about the bolt EUV? It’s not a large car by any means but it is the size of a very small SUV meaning it is just on the edge of the smallest car a US consumer will willingly buy.

Don’t worry, under the current NASA plan NASA can’t land people on the moon until both Starship and Starship HLS are ready

I mean all of these projects have hilariously low budgets lol The biggest budget on this list is $37 million, that’s a decent amount of money but you can’t launch a human habitat to the moon for that price.

Honestly that’s not something I had really ever thought about, how smartphones are mandatory for children in 2023. I got my first phone in 2014 when I was in 8th grade, a used iPhone 4S without a data plan, and because maybe about 50-75% of

Yes but no. If google wanted to force Mozilla to do anything they could switch default search providers with someone else who will pay them about the same relatively easily.

You can build an airport and accept flights from any nearby cities. If you build a train station you now need to build tracks to connect it to places and get land from someone to do so. Depending on where you are the size of this hurdle var

Twitter was quite in the red before he said he was going to buy it, he found out it was quite in the red and tried to back out, the SEC forced him to buy it, and everything since is a desperate attempt to float a sinking ship that was doome

I feel like car enthusiasts should appreciate public transit options the most since it allows you to drive more as a hobby since everyone isn’t doing it.

I mostly agree. While visiting Italy was nice and being walkable is great, the drivers were mostly insane and there aren’t a lot of places where areas that are safe to walk are clearly defined so drivers will happily drive in the middle of

With that said one easier way to increase road safety is to reduce the width of lanes since people drive fast proportionally to the size of the lane, not the speed limit.
