Isn't this the problem that Kickstarter was designed to solve?

It depends on what you mean by "learning". If I'm just looking to get a program to compile and accomplish a relatively straightforward task, I can "learn" enough of a language just by Googling "how do to X&quot

SN12-14 were cancelled due to them being based on the now-obsolete design used for SN8-11, right?

Wow, I wonder how much damage there will be to the launch complex - some of those chunks of debris are enormous. Hard to imagine that nothing important was hit by falling parts.

I learned the term "riprap" from this article. I've seen plenty of examples in person, I just never knew it had a specific name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riprap

It's definitely captured my attention. It seems like the kind of thing that a) shouldn't happen or b) if it _does_ happen, should be resolved quickly. The fact that it _did_ happen and is taking much longer to resolve than I would

Has the pricing for any of the other plans been adjusted as well?

There's one with a 1 to 10 billion scale in Washington, D.C. The sun is located just outside the Air and Space Museum. Well worth your time to check out! https://www.jeffreybennett.com/model-solar-systems/voyage-sc

Do we need a corollary to Godwin's Law? "The longer an app is available in the App Store, the probability that its icon will eventually resemble Hitler's mustache approaches 1."

The presentation of this is just awful. I wanted to learn what makes it so exciting and revolutionary, but couldn't get past the garish slideshow format.

My rule of thumb is just "don't click on links that are sent to you". If you need to do something, type the URL in yourself, even (especially) if you get an email that looks legitimate. I think the one exception to this would

Cost-effective carbon removal sounds fantastic, but does anyone else worry that this has the potential to de-incentivize other sustainability initiatives? E.g., say we had this technology available tomorrow. It'd be much easier for com

Another recommendation in this vein is Arthur C. Clarke's "How the World Was One", it provides some fascinating historical context for how we got to where we are today (or rather, where we were in 1992).

That's somewhat dependent on console manufacturers continuing to support physical copies. The current generation obviously does, but it's gotta be a serious concern for next gen and beyond (if your business depends on physical med

Is this the first actual corporate news from GameStop itself during the frenzy of the last several weeks? I'd love to have been a fly on the wall in one of their boardrooms during the maelstrom, when they were a front page story for ba

I've been so conditioned by how flawless SpaceX launches have tended to be over the last few years. It's exciting going back to not knowing what will happen during the stream. I'm reminded of the enthusiasm around the early F

Yeah - it really looked like they just got lucky with the debris somehow avoiding SN10. I wonder what the reasoning was behind them even having SN10 on the other pad during this launch - surely it would have been safer to just keep it in a

My understanding was that because this virus can spread presymptomatically or even asymptomatically, there is little or no evolutionary pressure for it to become less deadly. It can easily spread to many people before the host even knows th

So here's the dilemma I'm faced with. As someone who wishes to consume news that is as factual as reasonably possible, while also being aware that at least some bias is inevitable (no matter how well-intentioned the author may b

That's what is downloaded. Cyberpunk 2077 (releases next month) is supposedly a svelte 70 GB, while the new Call of Duty is a hefty ~133 GB download on the new consoles (and close to 200 when installed).

The study makes several references to "crowded" areas, and concludes that outdoor air is "safe" apart from these spaces. However, I was unable to find any clarification for what constitutes a "crowded" space (o
