I assume it was essentially rebuild in the new position right?

Have you actually lived in the time before cellphones? I have a hard time imagining anyone not having been in a situation that was made dangerous by the lack of ability to communicate with others. Muggings, beatings, rapes, killings. Acci

The US at least is prepared for this. But bringing down sats will only happen in an open war between advanced adversaries. These days many nations can bring down a few sats but not dozens or hundreds, and kessler syndrome is a bit over-dram

Some of these concerns have also been voiced by ESA. There's two main problems with it. One is taking up all the orbits and bandwidth simply by being there first (on a race to monopolize LEO), and the other is putting dual use technolo

One thing that can and must be fixed instantly is to legislate that these businesses can not deny their services to anyone, just like systemic banks and the post office.

That's also a good reminder about the "security" of biometrics.

It could be because they are written by a single person and not edited often.

Collaborative encyclopedia writing with anonymous people on the internet turned out a lot better than expected in most cases, but writing correct and coherent mathematical proofs is not one of it's areas of success.

Not only that, but most of HN, even the professional programmers who've been here for a decade, have absolutely no clue about anything regarding the physical world. Chemical equilibriums, enthalpy of formation, basic irradiance calcula

Well, I guess is is possible, but to get 100 bar at 1g you need a 1km+ column. At higher accelerations though it's not such a bad idea.

So you are saying that it's better to rely on the charitable feelings of random individuals rather than having a democratically elected government determine where the money needs to be spend? And what about the rest of the millionaires

I used to keep a couple pages of paper in my wallet and a small pen. It wasn't that much of a hassle, but modern responsive smartphones made this obsolete. At home I generally prefer taking notes on paper.

They're not doing that great. A4 (or letter) sized ereaders right now cost $800+, have a resolution of about 200dpi and only a few shades of gray, so they're practically monochrome. For that amount I can print thousands upon thous

I completely agree, but people complain about anti-racism being "forced" onto them. While it's annoying when it's disingenuous and superficial as it usually is, it's still most likely better than having the establis

Also nobody mentions all the starchy stuff and the fruit our ancestors ate. It's just odd how people reinterpret the entire history of our species based on recent dietary fads.

Although there could be and perhaps have been cases of biological weapon skirmishes, this really doesn't look like one of them. Also try not to anthropomorphize entire countries and large organisations, it makes for a really naive anal

If you read the article, it is clear who their prospective clients are. Big corporations pretending not to be racist. The next iteration will be a corporate-speak translator. As annoying as a woke clippy might be, at times I realize that we

There are many issues that can be solved with extra time. But should we all be living 200 or 300 years, society would probably be restructured in a way to squeeze that extra time out of you. Want financial stability and a good work/lif

On one hand, that's absurd. On the other hand, it's getting ridiculous that private companies can leverage massive networks of cameras while governments can't. Maybe that'll also help people understand how their private

Keeping it secret makes no sense but having 60,000 warheads is "safer" than having 6,000.

The reasoning obviously is to protect low earners from employers who abuse non-competes. Non-competes are not a complete insanity, as long as the workforce they apply to has (pragmatically, not just theoretically) the ability to chose where

In all of these cases the "AI" is assessing some features of the patient scans and history to reach it's conclusions. Why isn't the method ("algorithm") made clear and presented to actual human experts so they

This way of presenting facts is a bit odd, as it makes it sound like someone will have to try to kill themselves 25 times before they succeed. In reality what this means is that a mere 4%-5% of suicide attempts will actually result in a dea

On top of that, there's no good reason to offer euthanasia to those who are fully capable of killing themselves. If they want to, they can do it. This system is going to get abused so much. It's sickening really. And think of all
