You very conveniently omitted the middle part of that quote: “... and end the world as they struck targets on either side”. That very clearly implies that nukes would not be targeted at Canada, which is laughably wrong. There are multiple s

You made a big leap there from “robotic missions” to “autonomous robotic missions”, which I think very few think is realistic in the near-term. Some limited autonomy exists as a force-multiplier, sure, but pretty much all robotic space miss

Capital One’s personal lending is also notorious for targeting the mid-to-low end of credit card customers. They routinely deny people for credit cards if it looks like the applicant pays off their cards in full every month - they love a cu

I’m an outsider to that field, but I don’t see a reason why mRNA can’t be the “mRNA moment” - fungal vaccines are possible, and if you can find the right target protein you can make an mRNA vaccine against a particular infection. I think it

And the average EU country is quite a bit smaller than the average US state, along with the EU being more densely populated - public transit certainly has some artificial/political roadblocks in the US, but it’s also fundamentally more

I think this is an extreme take - they only had those mass surveillance tools since the start of the internet, and any other method of communication (phone calls, physical mail) all required warrants individualized to specific people to tap

Marcan certainly can be abrasive (I mean lol, so can Linus), but all the things he points out in the message below are 100% valid - I highly recommend for anyone here to try to contribute something even very small and logical to the Linux k

`apt` (the program) is a relatively recent addition to the APT (Advanced Package Tool) ecosystem - until not that long ago, `apt-get` was the way to install packages, and `apt` is now a "cleaner" way of interacting with APT.

You’ve been able to do that with Thunderbolt 4 for a while (with Display Stream Compression) - I currently drive an 8k ultrawide (7680x2160, or two 4K side-by-side) at 120 Hz off a single Thunderbolt 4 port.

“Stronger” generally just means “stronger for a given weight”, so manufacturers would likely reduce the final vehicle weight while maintaining the same strength (~safety), or improve strength while keeping weight the same.

Please do not advocate rolling your own crypto - there are tons of pitfalls in nesting encryption algorithms like what you've just suggested. Besides, symmetric encryption algorithms aren't the biggest target of quantum computers,

I have definitely read some teammates’ code that felt like it would be more readable doing a compiler-decompiler round-trip. Never actually did it, but I doubt it would be less readable than that seemingly intentionally obfuscated garbage.

I don't know when that was written, but it definitely feels like The Expanse authors read that exact page and built their stealth system to address those points - the stealth ships in the books aren't permanently stealthy (they ha
