> The goal is to stop the asteroid hitting Earth, there's nothing wrong with deflecting it "too much". I'm not sure sure about that. With orbital dynamics being complicated, I'm pretty sure you want to push it to

Recently had this problem, went with option 5 indeed, passing timestamps. This also made it trivial to replay logs to the application and get back in the exact same state, which is great for debugging of course.

Same for me? I'm in Europe, maybe that makes a difference perhaps?

Our energy needs are ever increasing. If we ever want to get to what is currently science fiction, we'll need fusion energy, otherwise we'll eventually blanket the Earth in solar panels. Maybe they'll be in time to provide en

Though not the EU anymore, but something like this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xlinks_Morocco%E2%80%93UK_Powe... The downside being you still don't have energy independence, if that is a goal.

How often does your power cut out unexpectedly and how bad is that for you and your website? For me in the Netherlands, maybe 2 years ago my power cut out for an hour IIRC. Pretty reliable, good enough for my website to be just as available

I can also recommend to make a log of any setting changes you make on (dumb) devices, like the heating system.

Wow, very similar story here. In highschool, I think I messed up a week of exams because I was too busy modeling a Fellbeast/nazgul from LoTR in Blender. I still have the model somewhere, copied over in 20 years of USB sticks and exter

Exactly. Have some sort of chain of cyclers that each cycle independently, launched/spaced (hehe) eg. a month apart. As they cycle, only one of them will be closest to Mars, that gets the uplink from Mars, then relay the data to the cy

I wonder if it's possible (and sensible) to have a bunch of cyclers after each other, spaced eg a month apart. The distance between them would be much shorter than Earth -Mars and thus allow much faster data transfer. With these cycle

I don't think we'll ever have enough energy, we'll always find ways to use more, on earth or elsewhere.

Coal and gas unburnt because of solar and wind generation is still energy stored. The rate at which you consume/burn it is less constant and if renewables deliver eg. 30% of power on average over a year, you need 30% less burnable stuf

Very different. From the article, the current process uses forging, which is kind of like a big stamp to smash a solid block into shape, possibly in multiple steps. Can only stamp from 2 directions, so need CNC to make holes in the sides an

Assuming you are a tech person with a high salary, you can probably afford to take some unpaid time off. But if you have a low or average salary, then you can't afford that and thus no time off at all? Sounds absolutely terrible.

The equation for potential energy is U = m ⋅ g ⋅ h, so higher density factors into higher mass (per unit volume) so directly into higher energy storage capacity.

Why not let the user at least give an estimate for the current time & date. Should be close enough for certificate validation. Yes, that gets annoying fast for said user, but a good incentive to eg fix the bios battery.
