Both general aviation and motorbikes have a track record (at least in relative terms) that's pretty good _with respect to injuring or killing third parties_, which I thought was the thrust of the inquiry.

Yeah, I mean, I'm a full-time cyclist, so you won't find a lot of car love from me. :-) But I do think there's a difference in risk. Aviation has a pretty dang good record, and I think that the tradition of transparency in

I'd love to hear a genuine argument from someone, of any age, who is anti-ADS-B. I don't understand the impetus to allow someone to fly a massive, deadly hunk of metal over a community without clarifying their telemetry to that co

Absolutely. Nowhere is the perversion of incentives more clear than in places where we hope people will act from their heart and their genuine concern, because they are out-competed by the economic forces of easy, cheap, fast money. This p

Both of these have now been observed. Of course your underlying observation holds: prokaryotes nuclei are fundamentally fragile in the face of these compounds. However, my understanding is that in both cases, it appears that microscopic pat

The bigger issue here is that the ILS is being set aside in favor of visual approaches in order to slot in a few more approaches per hour. What's the point of equipping SFO with ILS if it's just going to sit idle?

I often wonder this. I play bluegrass and other traditional music at tech events, along with talks that essentially explore this and proximal questions. As to the specific lineage of this music through Bill Monroe -=> Jerry Garcia -=>

Obviously there are different points of view on this point, but I view transparency and regularity as orthogonal features. Crypto is easy to make both transparent and regular.

I agree. The "end" isn't the network interface; it's the user interface.

Well, obviously the overarching concern here is a bottoming-out of nearly every market for labor related to cognitive or creative tasks. And I think you're right: that's coming. And with it, perhaps the most obvious impetus for re

So, as a musician who recently released a record via both decentralized and legacy services: I'm seeing so many people in this thread ask why this is happening, eg - is it just greed? And it seems to me that the answer is very simple:

So it all boils down to the sole franchise of the vote as the only way to bring societal change. That's not something that the information age is going to afford, and I thought that - pause given by threads like this notwithstanding -
