Note that thermodynamics may be kind of a "meta" or "supra" theory: other areas of physics don't have a concept of entropy or direction of time because it is an emergent property of a great number of particles follo

The oligopoly is not a "love affair", that's how IT works: prime mover advantage, "move fast and break things" (the first of them being interoperability), moats, the brittleness of programming... The whole startup&#

>Companies seem to forget they are also part of, you know, the economy and people need compensation to, you know, not die, right? If you aren’t acting as an economic engine for helping the most people thrive, what is your purpose as a co

More accurately: nuclear lobbyists find a welcome ear in far-right politicians who look at nuclear white whales as a way to spite ecologists (and siphon money to their industry friends). If you believe the far-right truly wants to reduce CO

Oh, really? So now it is not the case at all? I haven't heard anything from CBP, so we can all guess your "fact" is disingenuous... (And if it were really the case, how long before it is even more enshrined in law?)

Exactly not: there is now even more need for minute regulations, drafted by lobbyists and hapless politicians.

Many Republicans have shown themselves to be unabashedly evil. What has happened to them? Apart from being reelected and getting more veto power? And what has happened to the principled ones who put country before party? Apart from losing o

The ruling also doesn't clearly define what is official, and that one must presume everything is "official" unless proven otherwise, and that anything "official" cannot be included as evidence. Clarence Thomas even

If Biden sends SEALs to kill Trump, do you think Democrats in Senate would impeach him? (Reminder, you need a 2/3 majority in that chamber).

I guess "medical-grade" xenon (for anesthesia) would be extremely more expensive (with warranties on purity from contaminants such as pump grease).

If in a country, one can easily find enough people in positions of authority ready to backstab the whole country, then "foreign interference" is only half the problem...

I don't get the delta-v argument: now that it is in orbit outside the atmosphere, we can accelerate it as progressively as we want, e.g. with ion thrusters or solar sails, to raise its kinetic energy until it reaches a higher orbit, no

Exactly. And remember that each coup "masterminded" by the USA has found more than willing accomplices in each country, every time. (And one could argue that in many cases, if the US didn't do it, the USSR would have - but I

Wouldn't the ISS make a nice station for Lagrange Points 4 or 5? Hell, why can't we use it as the Lunar Gateway?

Also, Singapore (as well as Zurich and Geneva) is where it is through plain fiscal dumping. Which won't work if everyone does it. It turns growth into a zero sum game, where you grow through sucking other's wealth. Singapore and S

This is a lie. Guccifer 2.0 has been clearly identified as Russian. Julian Assange lied about Seth Rich, and never excused himseéf to his bereaved parents. He is no better than Alex Jones.

It is almost always the case. IT in general is far less driven by objective technological progress than we ourselves tend to think.
