It will probably never be feasible to have "your own" spacecraft like we have cars. The time and distance scales are just way too huge. Something more resembling the scale of a superyacht might become possible in the far future.

The president can take over command of state national guards from governors, however they are bound to defend the constitution just like the others and ought to obey unconstitutional attempts to give them orders.

Not everything good becomes bad. That premise is wrong. Bluesky accepted VC money. For a social platform that means its death certificate has already been signed. What you're ignoring with that framing is that we can use social media

That post was removed by the /r/aviation mods so (at least on mobile) it can't be viewed directly on the new UI. But if you switch to old.reddit.com it's still there.

What's interesting to me is that a "good enough" approximation of Japanese phonology is pretty easy for native English speakers to express. The issue is just they have to understand the really consistent syllable structure t

That glow I think you're referring to is "theater mode" and fortunately it can be disabled on the gear menu. It's incredibly distracting, especially in Firefox it can sometimes be laggy.

This is one of the deeply dissatisfying parts of the Matrix spec. They didn't have any constraints forcing them to embed signatures within the json objects, but they elected to invent their own signing scheme and do it anyways, despit

Go isn't a C++ killer because there's very many usecases that C++ is commonly used for where having a runtime with a GC are absolute nonstarters. Other downsides it has is somewhat janky and slow FFI to C, limited control over ho

Virus genes aren't like lego pieces that just snap together and work. Genetics is a very delicate balance. Retroviral RNA evolved to be packaged up in such a way that it's ready to be transcribed by the reverse transcriptase. C

Coronaviruses are RNA based and do not carry the reverse-transcriptase proteins (as retroviruses like HIV do) which would be necessary to embed genetic material in host cells' DNA. They directly cause production of the proteins to cop

In addition to the other points, there was some discussion about more directly p2p exchange of content (like WebTorrent or something) to share the load more evenly. Spritely is a more methodical approach to it but it could be layered into

My biggest worry is that maybe the co-op program for CS became a "low interest rate" phenomenon over the years from ~2009-2020 and now they don't want to take gambles on students that likely need to grow into the role. It&#x
