maybe, maybe not, but are you saying the ends justify the quite likely corrupt means?

naysayer here, but best of luck anyway it's definitely a good choice to target a niche market, but imho (DT) fusion will never be competitive on earth unless theres a breakthrough in cold fusion, muon fusion, etc the right niche is pro

"fee technicians — the people who collect money at park entrances and campgrounds — who were two months into the hiring process" What? It takes two months+ to hire a ticket seller? Ridiculous.

"She probably got in trouble for the following passage: .. HER SERVICE ON THE EQUITY, DIVERSITY, AND INCLUSION ADVISORY BOARD.." Are you sure it wasn't just for having 'homo-' in the title, that would be too funny .

They're all kissing rings. Sad to watch the era of relative democracy and freedom seeming to come to an end, let's hope it's just a near-death experience.

This looks horrible IMHO. I agree changes to main should be kept small. But not too small. They should be coherent 'chunks' of functionality, even if they are not yet a fully working feature. Committing to a dedicated separate bra

Just getting a visa has suddenly become near impossible it seems. My daughter just applied as part of a small tour of models/entertainers that were going to help raise funds to build a church (in the US), and was denied, due they said,

The movie 'Howards End' is an excellent illustration of this 3-tier class structure, which seems to be endemic, across societies.

I remember having a spider outside my window with an orange body and green legs. It made a web all summer, and then laid a big egg, which hatched, and a hundred baby spiders came out and ate it.

dunno who wasn't happy with this, did they think i was being sarcastic? i really wasn't. it's great idea, and I'm thinking of making a 2d version where you 'collect' the right answers, etc.

nice! kaplay is underrated as a game engine imho, especially for teaching. It's intuitive and quite simple, and the web playground has some assets built in so it's immediately ready to go.

promising what? It needs to promise to eventually be cheaper, or otherwise better in some niche. I can imagine it being useful for spaceships, for example. But I can't see it ever being cheaper than eg solar, without some kind of bre

There's a point at which you can be too serious, simple, low-key, understated, etc. What is this company, what does it do? There are no links to a main web page, or anything other than these few blog posts.

BS. "Some are promoting the date January 29th as a day of protest." Who? Is promoting Lunar (aka Chinese) New Year as a day of protest, I wonder? This looks very much like Chinese propaganda to me.

High performance isn't just about quantity. Even a 1_000_000_000 monkeys will never realistically write so much as a limerick.

i didn't find it hard to read, personally perhaps the author is anti-capital-ist? having an entire separate alphabet just to mark the start of sentences, and proper names, does seem extremely wasteful on the microphone, it looks like q

I'm not sure I agree with the tone of this, but imho it's definitely true that British culture views STEM people as just a bunch of nerds ('boffins') to be told what to do, and not really trusted, wheras the 'import

This is a really innovative idea, even more than the previous compressed-air energy storage thing she did, which really seemed like it should have worked. I hope this one does, and I think the inventor has more than enough smarts to find ou

Reason #0: Your website has a weird override to basic scrolling and what looks like a tracking marker, so users immediately GTFO of there. Don't override basic UI controls. Thankfully there's reader mode.

I'm not a physicist but both dark energy and dark matter have a definite whiff of 'luminiferous aether' imho. Of course they're just placeholders for things we don't understand, but my guess is that they are not any

As an aside, I find Zuck's newish Ceasarian look quite amusing. Is he serious? Or being deliberately ironic? Or making some kind of statement on Trump? Amusing either way, though like many here, I secretly prefer to laugh at him than w
