Gravity doesn’t suck, but it does exert a force. It’s called a gravity well for a reason :) Hence my question.

Wouldn’t the moon’s gravity pull in more material, putting a telescope at higher risk?

No, I doubt it. Europa is fairly small and very far away. For reference, the best photos we had of Pluto prior to the fly-by were from the Hubble telescope, and were even grainier.

They weren’t blaming. They were attempting to neutrally describe their best understanding of the phenomena. Do what you will with the information. But I understand your pain and frustration. I’ve had to carve my own path to find the healing

Looking at recent history, things have progressed very quickly in the past 5 years. I expect additional advances at some point in the future.

Ah yes, just like when the internet died in 2001… —— Being a bit more fair, yes a bubble did burst then, but it was a “too much, too quick” type of bursting, not a “this whole thing is a scam” type.

Very interesting, didn’t know that was illegal. What US law would it violate to buy a review on Rotten Tomatoes?

Staffing costs >> server costs, generally, is my understanding.

I’ll be an N=1 counter example. My somatic therapist dramatically changed my life and helped me overcome some pretty deep wounds and traumas. I’ve done a lot of things in recent years to get better, and working with her has been definitely

The way you carry yourself and the energy you give off matters more than your looks. You sound bitter. That’s an unattractive trait. Your emotions are genuine and shouldn’t be ignored, but you need to process them in a healthy way, let go,

I consider myself a half-decent writer. I remember looking back at some of my old high-school essays, and they were hot trash. Kudos to this kid.

> If it was just acquihire there probably wouldn’t have a big blog post tying it to AWS. Just negative publicity for acquirer when they could shut down quietly. That’s a good point. But what reason is there to disable new registrations?

Ah good point, I forgot the degree to which that is happening. I’m very curious to see how that plays out long term.

It’s expected generational behavior. Younger generations want to change things and think they are unique and special, older generations are like “nah you don’t get it just wait until you are older”. Both are right to varying degrees and dep

What’s the relative impact of a mile driven vs. an hour of the tv being on? Edit: Hmmm. According to gpt-4, the average TV would incur about .02 kg of CO2 per hour of usage, assuming a typical electrical grid mix in the US. While it estimat

It sounds like he was excited about it using some new tech and then was upset when you blithely smashed on him. Would it have been more emotionally mature of him to put that aside and listen to your criticisms? Yes, of course. But you proba

It’s amazing to me what percentage replied with “Notepad++”. To be fair, I haven’t tried it in like 15 years…

Everything is a mess, but it’s not fun to think about, so we don’t. And then if we do stop to look closely and think about it, we are surprised to see how messy things are. Still, things are rarely as bad as they seem. We are resilient and

Polishing things up is hard work. You are now more experienced and better at it. That’s very valuable.

Oof. There should definitely be an undo button for that, which displays right afterwards.
