The delta-v required for a trip to Titan, according to this[1], is 28.43 km/s. Optimistically, a fully re-fuelled startship in LEO has ~10km/s of delta-v to spend, afaik. [1]( https://www.reddit.com/r/space&#x2

Thanks, didn't know that. I think I'll just stop using Dropbox, though.

Right, but it's still not GPL, it's CDDL, so it can't use GPL'd parts of the Kernel.

The dropbox linux client works, but it's not great. It's recently stopped syncing for me because it now only supports ext4 filesystems, for some reason - and I currently have everything on btrfs.

No - it's just a very polite/formal way of singing a letter to royalty/gentry. Like "Yours sincerely" turned up to 11.

If you owe the bank $10k, the bank owns you. If you owe the bank $10b, you own the bank. Sanctions against China would be fairly painful for the rest of the world, too.

If you have a mechanism that can extract atmospheric carbon, at scale, without any additional emissions (which isn't really what this is...), then that carbon needs to go back into the ground, not back into the atmosphere. We don'

If you're not going to burn it, you should turn it into something else - carbonate rock, ideally.

So, you spend a load of energy to reform atmospheric CO2 back into hydrocarbon fuel - and then just burn it again, turning it back into CO2 and putting it back into the atmosphere? The end state of the atmosphere is, at best, the same as th

Right, but their huge VC debt will force them to _try_ to go up, or failure will force them down. What they can't now do, is what they should be doing - which is staying where they are.

Yes. "Hangouts Classic" goes away for GSuite users Oct 2019, and they get migrated to "Hangouts Chat". "Hangouts Classic" is going to be shut down at some unspecified date after that. All users will eventually

Well, if you just switched that ability on, then yes. But if you grew up seeing more/all wavelengths, then presumably your brain might learn to use that information in a useful way?
