This shit is known for thousands years. We have enough experience with it to judge.

> In fact, I would argue that Occam's Razor advises us to prefer non-realism. Can you list these arguments, please? IMHO, Occam's Razor is at side of realism: our Universe has no bounds in space, in time, and in scale. So, we c

They can make "dirty bomb". I know some people which had training about how to destroy hostile Western country by using their own radioactive materials. For example, in 2014, rebels in Donetsk had attempt to create "dirty bom

Nobody said that Chornobyl hit whole continent, but it's because some people sacrificed their lives to stop continent scale disaster[1], not because it was small scale disaster. Chornobyl operated till 2000s because cheap atom blasted

I bet, we will develop that technology in much much shorter time than we need to store nuclear waste.

Nuclear power plant failure, like Chornobyl, _can_ make whole continent inhabitable for thousands of years.

Examples of hoaxes backed by Russian government trolls, or examples of abuse of Wikipedia and other sites by Russian government trolls? I have both.

Drivers pay fuel taxes already. Fuel taxes are proportional to vehicle weight and power. IMHO, it better to tax normalized_area normalized_weight normalized_congestion . For example, if vehicle is 30% spacer than average, has 50% more weigh

It doesn't look like "fact checking". It looks like "citation checking". More popular but wrong opinion will take over less popular but correct one. Fact checking need a court like system, with judges. Contact me, i

Russian government backed trolls will use this system to spread fakes instead. Wikipedia has similar system and Russians abuse it a lot.

And then they can "save" Alaska.

The simplest solution for this is to feed packaging back to producer, unless it can be biodegraded in place. They will quickly figure out how to produce less waste. This is one of the methods using in Lean manufacturing to reduce amount of

Yep, rail road is hard to scale down, so it's very expensive to connect every single home to rail road. Also, rail roads are not walkable, so they cannot be shared with pedestrians, so this limitation forces create two separate roads:

Yep, microcredit is not a donation, so it will not work for desperate situations, but you cannot hire locals in desperate situation too. If you want to hire locals and use other locals to check the work, then situation must be controllable,

I improved Rust's version of binary-trees by about 0.05s (on my CPU): https://salsa.debian.org/benchmarksgame-team/benchmarksgame/... , so Rust score may rise.

So, for object 13.4 b.l.y. away it took 13.4 b.y. to reach us, but for object 32 b.l.y. away, it took 13.4 b.y. to reach us only? Nice match.

"Spacetime" is math, "Einstein equations" is math, so, basically, you tell us that merging black holes are making waves in math.

Autopilot can automatically record all incidents and then upload them to Tesla, with obfuscation and by user permit, to improve autopilot software. Tight feedback loop is much better for AI, IMHO.

It's very good post, except for the fact that you missed the point of discussion completely. Minkowski space-time is math. Time is used as coordinate. In reality, we cannot walk 10 seconds to the left. Math is important (major) instrum

Yes, Michaelson-Morley proved that "medium" doesn't exist, because no distortions of speed of light were found. These distortions were found much later by LIGO. So, IMHO, author should replace "ripples in water" wit

The visual simile is Ok, but it contradicts theory of Relativity developed by Einstein, because theory was based on _absence_ of these ripples in vacuum, as proven by Michelson–Morley_experiment, which leaded to assumption that c(vacuum) =

> Einstein realized that when massive objects such as black holes collide, the impact sends shock waves through space-time that are like the ripples in water created by tossing a pebble in a pond. What? AFAIK, "like the ripples in w
