The manufacturing tolerances for large mirrors are very small, and it seems unlikely that we would be able to do this - note that barely any manufacturing has been done in space. Assembling from pieces on the other hand, is more doable.

But why would you want that we become a space-faring species, at all costs? There is not much interesting to find in space, compared to what we have on Earth (especially not close to us, and I do not see us getting out of the solar system f

Telescopes in space could have better performance, because you are not limited by atmospheric conditions for your angular resolution. But you still need a larger aperture to increase your theoretical angular resolution (see the Rayleigh cri

If we are talking about visual light astronomy (the wavelengths where black satellites could help), a majority of astronomy is ground based. There exists just a single capable space observatory in visual light, the Hubble telescope, which w

It's very expensive to build (especially large) space telescopes (JWST is already costing more than 8 billion at this point), and astronomy is not very well funded.

I think the answer is quite simple, computers don't "kill" anything by themselves, for any new technological invention like AI you have a choice about whether you like it or not. What I'm saying with that is, that given

Note that I have not said anything about cannabis on a prescription basis for medical purposes, you just said "maybe smoke some weed" (smoking anything doesn't seem very healthy...), not "maybe see a doctor".

Would be interesting to read that article. Crime is a problem indeed, but I still feel like adding more lighting in hopes of solving this is not really the solution, and like you say, just moving the problem around. I think lighting very bu

I don't think the bright lighting which is rampant in cities improves safety in general, (most) people are perfectly able to see in the dark, and city lights merely make it (because of interfering with the adaptation of the eyes) impos

Indeed, I'm not sure whether I would call Lidl in the Netherlands a discount supermarket, food and especially produce like you say is of a high quality, compared to other supermarkets. Usually they don't even have the lowest price

This assumption is allowed, as n=0 results in infinite recursion (without side-effects) which is undefined behavior: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/memory_model https://en.cppreference.

Sure we can, but I don't think it's very productive to start arguing that society doesn't care about men's issues. I don't immediately see what society has to do with the lower life expectancy: https://en

We don't know why exactly these deaths of despair are increasing, and I don't think it's right to assume that it has anything to do with people not caring about "men's issues", as the problem does not seem to b

It's fairly well-known that there is more medical knowledge about men, and women are affected in different ways by diseases, about which more knowledge is needed. See for example this article: https://www.ft.com/content

LEO cascades would not affect GPS in any way, as GPS satellites are in much higher orbits.

It might also be a possibility that this isn't possible to be replicated in an artificial way (that is, human beings maybe aren't smart enough to ever understand their own intelligence, even using all tools to their disposition) I

You presume that by believing in a God you're not living life in the best way you can, but is there really an objective (non-religious) "best way" to live life? I would assume that for the average religious person, the way th

Yes, but a government and a corporation is much more than their head of state and corporate executive. If the actions of the government have a significant negative effect on a majority of the population, you can be quite sure that the gover

Tech is most definitely optional: Nuclear energy was for a while considered a great option, but now a lot of people are (unfairly IMO) turning their back on it, and you see that there isn't as significant a number of new plants built (

Governments and corporations are nothing without your Average Joe, in fact, they are just a collection of Average Joes. So I fail to see the analogy here.

AI is a choice (that is, it can probably be ignored, if we don't like it). I'm not sure why people think (negative forms of) AI are in some way inevitable. A lot of people are already afraid of losing their jobs right now, where w
