Such a ridiculous comment > The average death count from two planes having an accident is like 600 Do you realize, that your "average" death count has literally never happened in aircraft accidents?

I don't think it's reaction to apologizing, but to "yea we really had no plan whatsoever" which became clear with the tweet. Alternative (being clueless AND unrepentant) would receive even worse reaction. Now people ISTM

That's a terrible rant, not really a good argument about Mars exploration by humans. It's sad such poor articles are liked by HN, shows how poor understanding of spaceflight is common here. Just look at the first footnote, the guy

Problem is, they taught only citizen kids to be fighters (skipping over what did they actually teach). When 80%+ of your society is not-citizens, then this has little relation to what the society is actually focused on.

So you cannot do dynamically named routes in svelte (e.g. localization)? Just curious, I have no experience in svelte. It does sound like a major limitation.

In mobile version you can't do it easily. Also the UI is very basic, almost like google didn't want you to use it.

AML and KYC got more intense in my EU country at the same time as instant payments became a thing. Between regular banks. I don't think those are the problem.

Greed (or any "wrong" mindset really) is not black and white. You can be "a little too greedy" or "a lot greedy". Your example from other comment with 30y maturities is actually nice example - that would be &qu

Well ČNB could afford to easily do this thanks to money printing (and buying up EUR) it did 2013-2017. So still an argument for independent central bank with its own currency.

The quote is technically wrong only in the "taking powers away from every single Parliament" part, as central banks are usually independent. As far as monetary policy goes, adopting euro is losing independence. That might be a pos

Just FYI GTO sats' launch costs on the higher end of that range when buying from SpaceX (if not higher), while Starlink launches had internal cost 30M BEFORE current very high launch rate, which will bring costs down more. So not quite

I discover new bug every week, and my colleagues are also treating it as "working as expected" when they find only a few bugs. You are extremely lucky to completely avoid bugs in Teams.

Yes, that's what I meant by "scalable". You can't just continue picking low hanging fruit forever. Btw even the Sweden example uses nuclear for decarbonization of the grid ...

> growing competition to SpaceX Umm no. Just no. Ignore media hype and look at the numbers - SpaceX is arguably closer to monopoly in all areas of its business than ever before.

The point is that current energy storage facilities are too small for fully renewable grid (or arguably even 60% renewable grid). Even as a nuclear supporter I would welcome more renewables if we had cheap scalable storage, which no one has

It's not whataboutism - when intermittent energy sources are offline you need to have either storage or backup energy source. Fossil fuel (or biomass) sources are good at spinning up quickly, so it makes sense to assume that pushing re
