   Playing Elite Dangerous, a lot of these names are quite familiar. I have at one point held base at Wolf 359 at least :) Maps like these are so fascinating, anyone know of something similar with updated planet information?

   There are no time travel issues, it's a relativistic problem. From the perspective of the photon the time stands still, it arrives instantly at the destination. You can see this in that the quantum eraser experiment only works with pho

   Douglas Engelbart demonstrated copy/paste with a mouse in 1968 [1], however I'm not sure what he called the process. It was also very much an experimental system and not something for sale. [1] https://www.youtube.com&#

   Disclaimer; I am in no way supportive of Trump or most of his policies. However as an outsider (I'm not American), he actually seemed more on message and resonated more with his base than his opponent in 2016 so when Hillary became the

   I don't even.. wow.. Talk about buying the election. Are anyone going to be fooled by this? Edit: does facebook and twitter require that you disclose any payments you get for posting?

   Net income for 2019 was ~18 milliards (or billions for you Americans) so it's half of that!

   I wouldn't call 12% of the annual revenue "not a big deal". I'm pretty sure if I told my boss that my tax plan just cost us 12% of the annual revenue I'd be out on the street in a jiffy!

    I completely agree, I'm never setting my feet on a new Boing again. The certification they receive is mostly done by themselves anyway. I might have been lenient if it was one issue but it issue after issue and it's not just desig

    Yes if the government can prove that you knew about it without telling, you can be charged with it.

    Here in Norway there are special provisions for tax fraud and money laundering. It doesn't apply to "normal" crime only those. But it does apply for everyone not just civil servants.

    I assume it is common to report the company to the authorities when a request like that comes in? Where I live at least not reporting activity like that could result in a few years in jail.

    I stand corrected, the current Planck analysis seems to take in account that we are moving through the CMB rest frame although I need to read a bit more. It's a long paper [1] It was the earlier Planck measurements that did not account

    I didn't even get that far, the website wanted me to subscribe with a big screen that covered everything so I hit back. Kind of sad because the topic is very interesting.

    I thought the CMB value for H0 (measured by the Planck satellite) was already known to be incorrect as the measurements for it did not take into account that the earth is moving through the CMB and only measured in one direction. This is th

    I'm married so I'm not really in the target audience, however when I see things like this my first question is always data and privacy. In fact, I have a question, is there any privacy focused dating apps that have been externally

    Well, disregarding radiation resistant space whales (which would be able to migrated to another star anyway), I think it's pretty clear the radiation and onslaught of solar winds from Betelgeuse will sterilise everything in the vicinit

    No, the "self driving computer" is independent and it actually runs itself in parallel for redundancy and error checking. The infotainment system runs a custom linux distribution running on ARM (MCU1) or intel atom (MCU2). They ta

    Betelgeuse can not sustain life and it _will_ blow up very soon in cosmic timescales. There is nothing we do to stop it blowing up so yes, I hope to see this event in my lifetime :) Our sun is much more stable.

    Tesla has radar in their cars, at least in my X. I think I read somewhere that the cheapest model 3 does not have it but I can't confirm that.

    Good luck dyson sphering that star :) It's massive and very violent! It might be that this violence is causing the dimming by discharging massive amounts of dust and gas. I hope it's a prelude to fireworks but that is unfortunatel

    Personally I think it belongs at the top. When the article looks like it is generated by the buzzword generator, that should be the real discussion.
