You give them too much credit if you even suspect them of doing the right thing. You can't expect them to just give up an avenue to such an unfair advantage, no matter how illegal it is. Their wealth and power is incompatible with ethi

Volcanic sulfuric acid in the upper atmosphere is not the only known factor that can reduce global average temperatures. Another well known phenomenon is that during the ice ages, the sprawling white ice sheets tended to reflect a lot of th

I agree very much with you. Should I downvote you? Is this some sort of ritual? Jokes aside, even if the technology works as intended (and that's a big if), the opportunities to abuse it are plenty and absolutely scary. I know that &#x

How does that work? You need a combined reflective area equivalent to the amount of radiative power you want block. So let's say that you want to block just 0.001% of the Sun's incident power on Earth. According to my calculations

NSF site blocked by cloudflare. CF joins the race to be one of the most hated companies around. Meanwhile, what gas system were they testing? Was it the propellant tank pressurization, or of a smaller subsystem? The rupture seems to be pret

Did that actually buckle under pressure? It looks to me more like the tank exploded under pressure first and then the top section buckled due to loss of structural integrity. If so, it isn't a case of 'buckling under pressure&#x27

Practically anything you can find online videos for are better than their counterparts from low end restaurants. I have a lot of favs, but most are regional dishes that are not very well known internationally. Pastas are an exception. Cakes

I was with the space industry in India. The aviation sector is uniform throughout the world and uses feet, ft/s (vertical rates), knots (air and ground speed) etc. But I believe ground ranges are in kilometres and fuel loads are in kil

False analogy, in fact. The explanation is in my direct reply to the commenter.

I love how you mischaracterize it. All measurement systems are as artificial as Esperanto. So that analogy is meaningless here. But as far as popularity goes, the SI system is like English and the imperial units are like Esperanto. Never mi

While true, the mistake we made was to centralize them. Just imagine the case if git was a centralized software with millions of users connecting over a single domain? I don't care how much easier it would be, or how flashy it would be

This isn't really a trust issue. People tend to take shortcuts and commit serious mistakes in the process. Humans are incredibly creative (no, LLMs are nowhere close). But for that, we need the freedom to make mistakes without serious

People being naive doesn't give the bad actors the right to exploit them. That's victim blaming. The responsibility falls squarely on the actors who actively made the unethical/immoral choice.
