My favorite goal in Kerbal Space Program is not the more common “return from a high gravity planet” or “orbit all the planets in the solar system in one trip” but instead “use every method including atmospheric air breaking, parachutes, and

"A dark matter halo" Could this mass or gravitational impact be outside the expanding bubble of spacetime? If we are in a hole inside a block of swiss cheese, is there a way to determine if we are seeing the effects of the surroun

I'm imagining some new kind of volcanism and one less way to detect life. Or, as my wife put it, "Ah, rock babies again."

Such deformity and mutilation may result from an errant jump on a dirt bike. I intend to fly because it is there, it is the right of children to be free. Do a flip. And, yes, some will break a jaw or crush a testicle like a grape. We are no

While a precise estimate is difficult to gauge it is supposed by professional analysts that a majority of hacks are state sponsored. If the hacker is a state actor then I don't think anyone has learned anything about Free Speech.

I think you are describing more of an edge case than you might think for a vertebrate, mammal, social, warm blooded, air breathing, earth living, pack hunter.

I try to believe one false thing a day. Like a glass of wine. Good for the heart.

What you're saying about art is true of all labor and I think its villainous to single out the arts as being more or less deserving compensation.

I've... had to adapt to similar circumstances. Separate data sanitization from other problems. Ignore "prioritization" as an activity you can control. Walk up to the first responsible party you can find, and do your best, &qu

Money is just a proxy for the value your skill brings to society. I appreciate your perspective, but I hope you appreciate that mine is just aligned with a more social view of the world.

My brain is waterfall in an agile world. Strength: Seeing the bigger picture and the ability to hold an entire system in my head along with the context of prior projects and the body of knowledge I've built. I can build large complex e

Would you go and dig rocks out of a mountain and refine them into pure ore just because? We are social animals. Art is storytelling. It has many utilities, but it is primarily education and entertainment. A modern version of the cave painti

Different pen strokes for different folks. I used to binge read those meaningless colorful flip books to put myself to sleep. Benadryl without the side effects. Is it art? It felt like the smear of endless days I couldn’t escape and it was

Art without money is madness. Money without art dies on the vine in obscurity or pays its dues in criticism through time. 99% of everything commercially produced is somewhere between these and, if made by a person, part of a cannon, a body

If we've gamed out who's going to win and we know it is US, why would we keep that information a secret? If there were a plan sitting in a drawer somewhere that showed the US colonizing mainland China at the cost of half a million

Talk to peers, friends, even people you do not know that well and ask about their plans. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Crash on a couch for a few months. Keep refining and sending out resumes. Take a job that you might be overqualif

I would love it if you would. I can't promise how it will be viewed in this space but I find the best way to educate myself is to be wrong on the internet. :)

Not at all. I believe the US government has already studied this, published the outcome, and probably knows anything I or most teams of experts could. I think it’s in a drawer somewhere labeled, “For use in case of war with China under US d

One way to do it is pile into something with strong fundamentals you think will survive. Be the first into a rowboat that’s not leaking. Others will join you.
