There seems to be a logical flaw in your argument. There's an old saying: "Something must be done about this problem. My plan is something. Therefore it must be done!" People may disagree on solutions while agreeing on proble

Note that SQLite is, in it's own words, "Open-Source, not Open-Contribution". SQLite does not accept patches from the public. See https://www.sqlite.org/copyright.html Looking at the commit history for the pr

The GP said take money from “every billionaire”, not from every person in the US. One surprising thing about America is that there is a very large, almost invisible class of small businesses owners, good sales people, old farmers and random

As a kid, I got to spend most of a week with the Flying Wallendas on a circus tour. There's such a difference between watching anonymous performers walk a highwire, versus watching a girl your own age, who you've just been playi

The gas lines here used a different system than most of the US. The normal way is for a high pressure line to run to a regulator at each house. That regulator then controls a low pressure for that house alone. This gas company however had l

I agree, credit to Russia for having one of only two man rated rockets in the world. But Russia’s increasing failure rates have been an industry topic for a few years now though - it’s a valid concern. Here’s an article from two and a hal

If I'm reading the docs right, the Stellar smart contracts are extremely different from Ethereum smart contracts - in fact, it almost feels like a stretch to call them the same name. Like "animals" vs "plants". Ethe

No, I don’t think that’s what it’s doing. It’s actually powered - using electricity to make it spin. As a result of the spin, it creates vortexes that push 90 degrees to the wind.

You can play online if you have ever wanted to give it a try. It’s probably the best way to learn, since you can take your time communicating and planning your next moves. Diplomacy is probably the emotionally hardest game I’ve ever played.

It's about a 30 minute travel time for land-based ICBMs to reach the US from Russia or China. Let's say 10 minutes to get through the chain of command, and 5 minutes to send out the alert, so you might have a 10-15 minute warning.
