I don't get it. Who cares? You sound like you just want the status quo. Sending a tweet works just as well to get the message out.

I'm definitely not saying we'll have a colony by 2050. I just think 80 years is a massive amount of time and we'll have feet on Mars by then, which is what my comment was specifically referencing.

So you eat ibuprofen, but you couldn't grow or raise it 100 years ago. It was invented in the 60s and wasn't available over the counter until the 80s.

The big three cloud platforms all have this issue of delayed status updates. Why do you think it's just GCP?

by yupper32 5y ago
Probably true. But it's more than that list. Specifically: It's completely against their interests if they still care about space.

by yupper32 5y ago
I don't get this take. Russia has had solid space capabilities for decades and decades. Did any nations have any doubt that Russia had the ability to take out satellites if they wanted to?
258.
by yupper32 5y ago
Why the fuck? The Russians are fully aware of why these kinds of tests are a really really bad thing to do. I truly don't understand why they'd do this. They care about the long term viability of human space travel as much as the

I actually meant central authority in the software sense, not in the government sense. I'm talking about blockchain as a technology, not necessarily bitcoin. Though of course bitcoin is a pretty successful implementation of blockchain.

And yet, people drive their Teslas as if it means "can drive itself". Words matter. You'd need real evidence to convince me that Tesla calling the system "Autopilot" hasn't significantly contributed to crashes.
