The way I see it, post-modernism has enabled the outrage machine in the first place, by dissolving the borders between fact and fiction and dismissing context in any form. When everything is interpretable in any possible framework truth, re

Huh, interesting... I always thought this kind of propulsion would be an almost instantaneous transmission of energy, thus enormous acceleration in a small timeframe. Thanks for the link...

That is one rational position, not THE rational position. I'd say it is the only empiricist position to take, but not all rational arguments are necessarily empiricist.

Have you considered the acceleration that such a nuclear pulse drive creates? I am totally with you on the topic, not just with living organisms. If it were only electronics that need to be transported the force by acceleration wouldn'

Humanity is not expansionist on a galactic level. Once we are in a position we could make it to the stars, maybe we wouln't do it either, since it might take too much resources that can be spent more efficiently in ensuring our own sur

That just wrong. I know plenty people, that work on small-scale IT-infrastructure projects for municipal- and city-level administration. Cisco has become a liability as far as network equipment is considered.

Still, its a trip to hell to maintain any lisp codebase -- especially if it contains macros. I think it is actively hostile to collaborative programming, and that is a structural problem where there is no remedy but obscure programming patt
