SpaceX previously tweeted that the launch could occur roughly a week after the Wet Dress Rehearsal (WDR) which still has not happened. In fact the rocket is not even stacked at the moment, so 4/20 is more probable than 4/17 imo.

A simple linguistic ontology is one of the most perverse, heuristic patterns of thought. A rock is also more than it's thoughts, and retains some degree of consciousness. Imagining concepts like souls as a sort of litmus test for consc

I believe your ontology is a naively inconsistent overessentialization of miraculous paradoxes that have confounded human thinkers since prehistory.

Sorry I'm not going into tangents of tangents while you downvote me for having a different opinion. This topic is about coal in Germany, not about the EU parliament in Belgium. I recommend https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik

The magical role is that they conveniently provided the ECB, an institution that exists on German soil, with such "independence" that when a real crisis was presented, they were stripped of any actual decision making power and ins

Germany has the 6th largest coal reserve in the world. It makes (economic) sense for them to protect their natural resource value by extending its relevancy as long as possible. Just like it makes (economic) sense for Germany to use its ECB

agree. there's a lot of neo-luddite FUD on HN about self-driving. plenty of actual academics project that autonomous vehicles improve occupancy of city streets by 40% and highways by 80%. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abs

What you describe is basically how my wife and I treat the model Y on road trips, except we speak the destination instead of punch it in. But you'll still want to wear a seatbelt because although self driving cars don't tend to ca

Or, your car parks in the spot you yourself would park in, the ones building codes require the restaurant to provide. No one wants their $60k+ self driving car casually risking accidents. And I certainly don't want to end my date night

In many European and Asian cities this is a solved problem. You buy your own parking spot, lease one by year, or pay for the expensive hourly lots. Those are your only options.
