Was there ever a serious belief that nobody drank water? That seems a bit much. I can think of a fiction book that rather heavily pushed the idea, but it seems like a few minutes of thought would show that there's no way to produce&#

Drones are, by and large, the same thing as missiles. Those haven't made manned tanks obsolete yet. There's going to be value in having a human "on site" to make decisions about engaging targets for quite a while from no

The napoleonic empire lasted about 15 years, so that's a bit of a stretch. More relevantly though, good things can come from people who also did bad things; this isn't to justify doing bad things in hopes something good also happe

I'm as big a fan of ragging on "america" as anyone else, but it does occasionally have a few relatively unique problems compared to most other countries, such as the distances involved and the (lack of) density of population.

> but I imagine cheaper than shooting real people How much does that cost these days? Do you still have to fly to remote islands?

At the risk of being obvious, this seems set up for failure in the same way expecting a human to catch an automated car's mistakes is. Although I assume mistakes here probably don't matter very much.

My experience with nix, at a smaller scale than what you're talking about, is that it only worked as long as every. single. thing. was reimplemented inside nix. Once one thing was outside of nix, everything exploded and writing a worka
