Regulation was a wrong word. Disclaimer: I don't know much about how SpaceX or NASA's finances work. But I assumed that, due to their tighter coupling with a government, NASA has less leeway in their decisions of which technologie

I agree and I'm not advocating to take back information. That is not possible anyway. I just think that most people, for whatever reasons, do not have the capacity for "relaxed empathy" in stressful situations.

I'm not as sure about that, but probably yes. And make police a highly-recognised profession with top-pay, but also heavily scrutinised selection, entrance-tests and no allowed margin for error.

It's not just the mentally ill, the ignorant or misguided, it's the general public that has to deal with so many negative emotions and information at an accelerating pace. The world didn't got worse, but everybody started to

I decide consciously what would be right for me. Those decisions need to be realistic. Example: I want to do a lot of sport in my spare time, so I can only play a little music and read almost no books. I'm fine with that. Then I check

I don't program Erlang, but discovering communicating sequential processes for multithreading was a revelation to me. I use it in Java/Kotlin almost every time I do something involving more than one thread. Add a blocking-queue, d

You assume merely logical work in the pre-frontal cortex. As soon as emotions come to play the body get's involved because heart-rate, body-temperature etc. is influenced. And I don't mean emotions like anger, but less visible one

Look at the numbers for 1980, but you're right, it's not a good example. My thought is that it's established that there's a percental wealth/income gap that's getting larger, not smaller. It might not be very e
