What prevented Clubhouse from quickly devolving into an ersatz Discord. I feel like the audio chat capability + community management was already there.

I wonder what would occur if a climate-change driven wildfire reached a dry cask waste storage site (probably nothing tbh). The reasonable possibility of this represents the ultimate irony of the anti-nuke movement.

I suspect that most of the barrier islands along the United States' eastern intracoastal waterway will submerged by the time I die (2070ish). The pace at which beach disappears near my local barrier island has clearly increased in the

Is there a reliable base rate for accidental lab releases and near-misses. I really wish we had better data on how often accidents occur. Even with that I struggle how to use base rate analysis here. Depending on how heated up a a pathogen

These tracks are remarkable historical objects. On a personal note they helped me better understand many of Daft Punk's influences, favorite of mine. What a gift.

This seems like an ideal use case for a small modular nuclear reactor + desalination.

Has anyone tried to use these for a home flight simulator application? It seems like these or the pupil-labs equivalent could deeply improve immersion vs. TrackIR.

I wonder what the probability detection* tradeoff looks like between the noise of breaching a door with a high security lock and picking the lock. *detection in the act of breaking in, not ultimately.

I would pay a lot, perhaps even give up my second car, for a Ghost Robotics or Boston Dynamics quadruped that could successfully and safely navigate my home, child put away dishes & fold laundry.

I'd argue that the NLAW's probability of kill is comparable, easier to use and its cost is radically lower. The Javelin is a great weapons system, and is highly complimentary to the NLAW - but if I was forced to pick one thing to

Sample of one disclaimer. - I avoid Caffeine after noon. - This improves whatever sleep I am able to get. - I take a 30 minute walk every day, midday and avoid using any devices during it.

I have seen recently several discussions in the HN/Substack blog milleau about nuclear war “not being that bad.” Hitting the delete button on nearly every major city in Russia, the United States and and Europe is pretty bad. For the fl

I am really glad everyone walked away and thus I am allowed to focus on how much is pains me to see a 757 leave the skies. They are, IMHO, the best looking airliner out there.

Probably some missing nuance. That said, it seems pretty indefensible that it’s taken the FAA more than a decade to reach a decision on an unleaded avgas alternative.

I agree with the first paragraph’s notes on Russian incompetence and Ukrainian capability. I said as much. APS is a must but it’s not a panacea. You need to emit, detect and survive a second or third shot. I expect loitering munitions are p

Yeah a well employed heavy armor element, particularly supported by dismounted infantry and SHORAD is going to stomp an infantry element that has exhausted anti tank rocket/missile stocks. Not debating that for a second.

I don’t think the the utility of a tank is completely obviated. At a minimum, a heavy force needs them to assault and breach at speed under fire. The Russians are not exactly offering a tour de force in optimal support of their heavy armor.
