   One thing I worry about with these extremely customized keyboard configs and such is that once you get used to them, you will have a hard time using any other computer when you suddenly need to. Maybe this isn't such a big problem with

   I would say a huge proportion is also caused by moving manufacturing jobs to cheaper countries. It is not just automation.

   I think the more important question was how they came up with the number. If you lack the ability to go through your apartment in your mind and count the windows AND do not happen to remember the number outright, it might indicate something

    Well sure, but I guess you could do the same with planets inside the solar system too? No need to wait for interstellar asteroids/comets.

    I don't understand the comment about comets/asteroids. Why would they be a viable way for interstellar travel? In order to catch one, you need to match speed with it, and then you are already on your way. You can't somehow hi

    Agreed. I think touchscreens are gaining popularity in consumer devices for a large part because they are cheap compared to mechanical inputs. Mechanical switches, dials and buttons are surprisingly expensive. But when it comes to spacecraf

    One fundamental problem we have with weather forecasts is that our input data for the starting point is fairly sparse. GFS calculates the forecast on a grid with 13 km horizontal resolution and 64 vertical layers. We don't have accurat
