Good. Those constellations are an astrological nightmare. I can't believe anyone with the money is allowed to pollute low earth orbit without any consequences. But if my son rides his dirtbike where yuppies walk their dogs; someone wil

It is an interesting concept. I'm doubtful that the electric motor powering the compressor would use less energy than a conventional multi-stage turbine but that's not the important part of the demonstration. The important part is

Perhaps Microsoft could revoke software licenses for companies under sanctions. Or push custom vulnerabilities to specific Russian endpoints.

While I think this is an interesting option to consider, wouldn't changing global DNS mostly impact users external to Russia? Would .ru still resolve inside Russia?

From my US perspective the average Russians are enabling their government by allowing them to wage war. If average Russians leveraged consequences on your leaders that reflected your 8% approval rate; then the conflict would end. Also, from

In reality, 1,000 years in the epoch will be just arbitrary. By then they might as well pick a new epoch that isn't 128 bits. What would they need to preserve that they wouldn't be able to emulate or virtualize?

In schematic.png you can see on the left there are 3 pins and the right there are 2 pins. The 3 pins on the left represent the laptop and the two pins on the right represent the power supply. The chip in the middle attaches to the ID pin on

Efficiency is easy to ball park, but if you want to get precise then every vehicle is going to have it's own moving target. I would argue that no vehicle is especially efficient at 20mph for long durations. Sure you have no air resista

Curious if it will run SteamVR. I've got a pretty good record of getting things working with Winetricks and after about a week I gave up on getting my Quest 2 to work on Linux. To be honest, I feel like it barely works on Windows most

This. As a repair shop, how do you warranty one of those Alibaba panels? I've received defective ones from the factory. When removal carries a significant risk of breaking the device and the only spares are bootleg, the repair shops wi

So how do you go about getting a faulty Tesla repaired in Germany? Tesla only allows repairs by authorized technicians.

I usually start out by reading the "Just for Today" meditation at [1] which changes daily. Then I read [2] and spend a couple minutes contemplating how the 12 JFTs apply to the day I'm going to have. Then I usually spend a fe

Why wouldn't you continue to have government officials and a standing human army with regular recruitment? Just because there is UBI and most people don't have to enslave themselves to eat doesn't mean people won't want

UBI. Those people get a check in the mail just for being alive. If they decide to find work as a programmer or machine mechanic or something similar then they get UBI plus a paycheck. UBI by itself is basically a paycheck for doing what you

I'm sure manual lathe operators in the 1960s would scoff if you told them by 2000 their job would be done by entry level labor operating robots (CNC machines). And they would have been wrong too, just like you are now.

Hollywood is dying. The next generation and the one after don't give a crap about famous actors or singers declared by Hollywood. Hollywood has 10 years or relevance and 20 years of existence as we know it. Ask your kids who Chris Prat

I think people associate "communism" with "corrupt authoritarianism" and then associate UBI with "communism". The same people also conflate "capitalism" with "democracy" and forget that it i

Makes sense to me. Most jobs are just code that hasn't been written yet or simple machines that haven't been built yet. The only reason why is because there is no regulatory incentive to stop exploiting humans. We conquered the wo

You don't understand. China is in debt because the government wants to be in debt. They have to be to have population control. If there were no debt their population would have already busted. The oligarchs who rule China don't us

That's not going to do anything. In modern day, American companies have more to gain in China than they have to lose in the USA. The market they are chasing is 3 times larger than the US and the only "regulation" in sight is

Arguably buying Tesla is the worst thing you can do for environmental sustainability if you have to ask permission from a car company to replace a defective battery they made after only 1,500km then not get any warranty on it. The right to
