Isn't that pretty bad, Darth Vader style changing of previously agreed on deals ? Not sure how anyone can believe anything that was agreed will hold in such an environment. :P

If there is demand, someone will sell that eventually - while NVIDIA has a headstart, they "just" fab stuff on TSMC anyway. AMD and to a degree Intel are already starting to sell cards with more VRAM.

Yeah, imagin typoing "ls" and having a Steam Locomotive drive through your terminal! Thankfully no one implemented that. ;-)

What happens to the system if Intel goes under ? Seems like a single point of failure.

Interesting - yeah, that way they should have sufficient margin to plan the manuevers to avoid the radio telescopes. :)

They use a high efficiency low thrust hall effect engine - for those kinds of thrusters you might have to run it continuously, possibly continuously to ballance out the atmospheric drag at low altitude. For normal chemical thrusters you ind

The exact claim might have been false, but at least i theory it could do this maneuver from orbit - e.g. during a regular space hab or satellite lunch mission it could dipp into the atmosphere, do a rapid oebit inclination chang using its w

Only a fraction of the satellites have a single point in view.

Does not look like it was a healthy work culture.

If its really useful, how long do you think it will take Google to kill it ? ;-)

Giving "presents" to doctors is still very much ingrained in the older generation up to this day. :P

And all it took to esablish all this was just ending up with all the treasure plundered from Holocaust ending ub being stored in the Swiss bank vaults...

Yeah, even how they apply technology makes no sense - they have gravity control and yet they still care about planets ? Where are large scale habitats or for the record actually any mega scale engineering projects ?

by m4rtink 1y ago
I guess for projects people consider themselves important this could be done via personal honor system or even just interpersonal relation - I promised my friend the launch loop will be done by equinox & he would sad if I don't hol

I guess if you press the post scarcity peddal hard enough youncould solve even that - space habitats potentially give so muc living space to make these issues moot.

I think this broken feedback cycle is one of the biggest isues for communist regimes, yet I don't see it mentioned often. :P

by m4rtink 1y ago
This was pretty much compounded in the communist era - it was the state doing the environmental destruction & it was doing it for the most holly purpose of PROGRESS and HEAVY INDUSTRY. So if you wanted to point out we are all gonna get

Was talking to an archeologist recently when touring a site of a big late bronze age settlement near Brno. There was a burial ground next to the fortified settlement on the hill as well, largely undisturbed for thousands of years, under reg

I think this might have changed for the worst since the soviet times (or at least is now less covert ?). IIRC when someone interviewed one of the warlords from Chechnya he mentioned he would probably be a high ranking officer in the soviet

The main issue was not the general admission being itself corrupt (though I can't imagine you could not get a top party member child in if you wanted). The main issue was that anyone the state was not comfortable with was banned from

If you can also make the probe survive a close flyby by the star (that should ideally require just a good sun shield & robust orientation control) you could the so called solar Oberth manuever - basically this[0] but to slow down an inc

Well, heating is still easier than cooling - if there are suitable resources at hand, heated habitats could be easy to setup.

Well, many of the researchers would have been killed if they stayed in Germany. It kinda helps being alive when researching how to build a nuclear bomb.
