One of the explanations for Fermi paradox is that we just got lucky to be one of the first civilizations to the party. A few billions years from now Universe will be filled to the brim with life and sentience.

Not to start a massive flame war, but just a personal opinion: I rather prefer humans to be the only intelligent species in the observable Universe - that means it will be all ours to play with.

Yes, you are right. But 100km altitude or so suborbital test is definitely possible with SN prototype alone.

Now the next step is high suborbital flight and then real orbital test.

Under exponential model assumptions, in 1300 years humanity will spread into neighbouring star systems, with Earth most likely to be depopulated and left as a nature preserve.

The problem with YC is they get so many applications that they can't accept even all of the really good ones. So my advice, get accepted into any startup accelerator/business incubator. That alone helps with traction with VCs.

To answer the second question: get revenue with a good growth.

Well, seems like opening up a new frontier will help American society a lot.

To defend UML a bit, I found sequence diagrams really useful when designing or understanding complex interactions in a software system.

For an existing electric aircraft (Pipistrel Alpha), the fuel cost advantage is claimed to be 10x of equivalent ICE-powered model.

Operational costs is the killer advantage here ("..one-fifth the operating costs of traditional twin turboprops...").

Python seems like a notable exception - despite being of comparable age as Java, it is still mostly a loved language.

Heard rumours they left $6B on the table, as demand for their equity exceeded supply.

Need a read to what real physicist thinks on it, especially the second and third paper. I am not smart enough to understand most of it, honestly.

String theory suffers from exactly the same problem, yes. Here, Wolfram's theory is no worse than string theory.

The article says it does, but doesn't show how. It is extremely light on technicalities.

I had actually read the article and here is my take: 1)Almost any mathematical abstraction can be used to match existing understanding of physics. Graphs, or groups or cellular automata. It is not wrong to try different kinds of those abstr

TL; DR: almost nothing of substance. Some hard numbers out, but experimental predictions not feasible wth present technology level.

In the US at least, it is definitely decreasing. Income inequality is growing, as the original essay noted.

Well, I don't want to present my view in an absolutist manner, but there is a lot of survivorship bias in success stories. People tend not to note positive environment factors if they lived all their lives with them. And if you got bur

A lot of people who are just as smart and motived as Elon Musk or Steve Jobs will never be able to start their own companies and get rich. Because they have family obligations that take priority. Because they live outside high-income countr

C is the "lawn chair" of programming languages. Sure, it is neither particularly fancy, nor most comfortable - but beats having no chair :)
