A key goal of these missions has been to understand the composition and structure of asteroids, which happens to also be pretty important for how they might be defended against. If they're a loosely bound pile of dust, then it might be

I agree, I honestly thought the people here would be better than this

I think you're forgetting that the only thing the internet does is make communication easy. The material realities of where we live, our cultures and belief systems determine how we split into groups like countries. So while the intern

I'm not really trying to 'read past that part quickly'. I don't really have a personal 'horse' in this as I'm neither black nor white. I'm not even suggesting that they're rejecting capable peopl

>That's an unserious, facile argument that ignores 400+ years of history that continues to this day. It's been estimated that racism, starting with slavery, has cost Black Americans over $70 trillion. There's a legacy atta

I think that's a very defeatist/nihilistic point of view. Since we're all going to die eventually anyway, we should aim to improve our standards as much as possible so we or our kids get to enjoy a better old age than what ol

Optimizations on the consoles involve things like adjusting memory access patterns, using gpu-specific intrinsics and hardware specific latency info etc to tune the game engine. It's likely the same with Steam Deck. There are a lot of

I think what makes the "good" releases good is that they drastically pull back on the so-called "innovation" in each. Vista tried a lot of new stuff, most of it was meh, then 7 came along and reined it in a lot, then we

I agree, but that isn't much of a counter-point, if anything a population that is majority old people will only make that worse since the increased burden on the young would breed more resentment towards older people. Would you rather

I'm not talking about mortgages though... Consider healthcare, usually older people need it more than younger people. If you have a higher proportion of older people in a population compared to younger people, you have a larger proport

That's a really weird idea of 'ethics'. How would you enforce this policy? You can't ethically take away 'extra' kids, you can't reasonably fine them, nor can you prevent extra kids from being born. Any sy

If the country does not get richer faster than it gets older, the increasingly older population will suffer, having to work till they're older and getting less financial support (healthcare, pensions etc) because there would be proport

It's worth considering that nowadays we don't really do backup copies of satellites/probes because launch is pretty reliable by now, especially on rockets that have been flying for a while (which is pretty much a requirement

An ISRO comparison seems a bit absurd given the hugely different scales of science and technology development being done. Much of the technology used in the JWST was practically invented for it. Not to imply that ISRO isn't doing impor

In that way this pandemic is probably providing a treasure trove of data for calibrating models on how past diseases may have progressed.

You should try googling that one, preferably not at work, it's taken.
