mankind is heading for space ~ this is unstoppable. colonising mars makes a lot of sense as its the only other semi habitable planet in the solar system. short term ~ there might be some interesting mineable ores on mars. medium term ~ lowe

i feel like its premature to discard the possibility of FTL travel and it should be taken into account when discussing the fermi paradox. if FTL travel / FTL communications exist, we have no means of detecting that

? people go on planes to get to places not to experience flight itself per se. i don't mind sitting in an enclosed room for x amount of hours while it gets me half-way across the world for cheap

googles net profit is still a whopping 14 billy dollars. their search monopoly isn't going anywhere anytime soon either. i don't think googlers have anything to worry about

it was calculated how many lives were saved thanks to vaccines, wearing masks, social distancing, lockdowns etc. just because some people with different sets of values don't believe those numbers doesn't mean they aren't true

overall mortality might have been 0.5, but for susceptible groups like old people it was way higher. also risk of nonfatal but serious covid complications is no joke. also secondary deaths from collapsing health care systems...

i guess its not easy to build a container like that. it has to be strong enough to withstand the air pressure trying to buckle it in, but light enough for the vacuum to actually lift it off the ground. maybe there is no such material

i read somewhere that bezos personally controls the look and feel of amazon and thats why it looks like that. some amazon UX/UI director even quit over it

idk that this conclusion can be made. maybe the wasteful work culture is what enables them to generate high profits...

meh i doubt either pichai or zuckerberg has this right. both companies are making hand over fist money wise, not sure how complaining about worker productivity goes into that picture

it's way easier to understand the concept if you see it repeated many times in action though...

mega droughts, record heat waves, wildfires, more numerous and violent storms of all kind but sure there is no problem with the climate. shaping the climate doesn’t happen overnight and if no action is taken now the world will be very diffe

it is really not extremely unlikely. mainly because it happened multiple times previously in china with sars epidemic. there is a precedent https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC416634/

lack of funding + way too many people doing phds = shitty job market. there is at least 10x more phds than the current system can comfortably sustain. i would love to see the budgets 10x and salaries 2x but since there is a fat chance of th

Starting a war over gas fields when the entire world is pledged to go off carbon fuel is... short sighted at best, if not outright idiotic.

Russias security is guaranteed by its nuclear weapons. Having one or a dozen NATO bases on its border doesn't alter this basic fact...

you learn math by doing lots of problems, the same is true for leetcode. sure there are patterns and tricks to it, but you have to do enough problems to apply them "intuitively". it's one thing to know you need two pointers t

i don't think k8s is particularly difficult to use/understand. at least from app developer perspective. maybe setting it up and operating it is a different story, but deploying apps to it is fairly simple.
