I'm still thinking about your first para. But in the second para, did you actually mean he'll be cloned?

Heck yeah, you are so right. Also, the video was fun, thanks. My old 19-inch CRT's are dead, but I'm so glad I saved save three 17-inchers - one shadow-mask, and two aperture-grill. But the older I get, the heavier they seem go be

Yeah, do be careful though. This happened maybe 15 miles from where I live, back in 2018: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/two-attacked-by-co... Getting old now, so walking in the woods alone is something I do

Sure, it's possible a certain 2% could be a tipping point, but seriously, look at US energy use as a whole, and it sounds unlikely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_the_United_States#Fi... As far as sources

Yes! Please do.

Agreed. And typing it in takes much less time than almost anything done during coding/dev.

Amen. I read it because it was shorter than the Effective Altruism community stuff I'd been trying to wade through. It did seem a bit entertaining, but I found the ending a disappointment.

I really wanted to spend more time reading the comments, but I've sworn off doom-scrolling.

I agree. (Of course Mars is just an example.) Inexpensive structures will be useful in lots of applications. I wonder if there might be ways to do something similar in micro-g, such as nearby or built onto a small asteroid?

I think you hit the nail on the head! Oh, sorry... But yeah, lots easier to skim slop with practice. Finally I noticed how much there is.

OMG, yeah, that made me laugh. Then cry.

I think the argument for autonomous is that human intervention is, generally, wrongly rather than rightly. At this point, I won't agree or disagree, but it's getting more interesting all the time.

I expected this to happen a few years ago, but I think I was over optimistic. Now, who knows? Maybe it will finally start to make a difference.

Unfortunately, if you make (or are born with) enough resources, you might skate for quite a while. Eventually you might get a lot of fines and even some jail time, but afterwards, some people just take their chances and drive anyway.

I know I'm just paranoid, but when I see LG and these big advertising companies taking bad press from Gamers Nexus, I can't help but think the reporters need to be concerned about their safety.

Love these articles. Need a little more cash, a little more time. A little drop in ram prices...

It's hard to write this, but before my grandmother died about 45 years ago, it felt like she'd lost almost all her memories, but was easy to take care of. She was in her late 80's. My mom & aunt took yearly turns keeping

Wow! That's in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenon now. Xe-124, half-life 1.1 * 10^22 years. That's crazy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LWN.net I was guessing Linux World News, but TIL it was Linux Weekly News. But currently, they say it's just LWN, a tech news site, etc.

OK, sounds workable. I'm still bothered by that data being available on a child's phone. I guess we'll see what people decide.

My dream: "Good evening, sir. May I take your coat?" "Dinner will be ready in about 20 minutes. Your guests said they will be arriving very shortly" "May I serve you a drink while you relax in the sitting room?&quot

A really nasty smell would get me out fast. Can't imagine any use for the timer, unless you're trying to estimate the remaining oxygen.
