It was ok, but it felt more like a checklist of progression then the wonder of exploration.

1) Northgard isn't that, but it is a proper RTS with a way slower overall pace, so it might scratch the itch. 2) Anachron is a RTS with time travel, and issuing commands in the past depletes a resource, so it does something similar but

Many people rely on loan providers and most loan providers depend on proof of assets being provided and most organizations that store information are vulnerable to hacking. So that's at least one weakness that is at least one massive v

I think if commuting time was fully paid work hours, then companies would quickly agree that minor optimizations like this aren't worth it.

It seems like it would ne more accurate to say that each C role is has skipped other languages, and thus will likely skip Hare as well. The feelings of people in that role might not have anything to do with it.

They have nuclear weapons. The reactor stuff is just embarrassing incompetence, and not nearly as scary as the news makes out.

It sounds like a great idea. I did notice a carveout in the privacy policy for "if we get acquired, they can do whatever they want with any information" which seems... undermining, given how getting acquired by one of the worst d

The games world has understood C# to be a reasonably capable language for a while. But that world often feels disjoint with the enterprise software world where Go has thrived, eating into Java's niche.

No, it can watch asteroids, kupier belt objects, etc. Sure, not ones already near earth orbit, but most objects are further out at least at some point. However as far as I know it's unlikely to actively survey them. It's expensive

This is fun, but I do get the sense this is another iteration of "Persom who is an expert in X thinks its important for everyone to know more about X", where X can be basically any field.

Agreed. We've had an entire scientific revolution since the days of arguing about humans as a fatherless biped or the angels that can fit on a needle point. Articles like this that provide nothing but rhetorical arguments feel pointles

I would argue it's not needed for the last sentence. In fact, when people are freed from convention in contexts like chat programs, they often drop unneeded bits like trailing periods

The basic technology of robotic space construction, though, could have far reaching benefits in its own right. So while it may not be strictly better for this one mission, it might still pay put dividends in the long run.

Anything with billions in capitalization will never stop looking for customers, and will bend and break the world to find them if needs be.

People hated Justin Bieber because he appealed to young girls, and tons of men automatically hate everything young girls like as some kind of twisted self defense of their masculinity. People hate bitcoin because it appeals to people they f

The other thing about kerosene is that it works for decades if not more with only occasional user serviceable maintenence. It can be dropped in mud, banged up, etc, and still be repaired most of the time without lots of expertise or tools.

That's sensible, I agree. My response was to "feeling snubbed for allowing preorders", which is childish.

Hitting it with anything at those speeds causes and explosion. At low earth orbit (LEO) most vectors cause the debris to rapidly deorbit, but a few can cause a slightly raised orbit that could hit things behind it. The problem is, if such a

Caring about this sort of thing sounds like some toxic masculinity grandstanding childishness. So it makes sense that politicans would.

Simply put, yes. The same effects could have been accomplished with extensive public transportation, subsidized to the point of being free for the same cost as the car and road subsidies. And with far greater positive effects on poverty, du
