The idea of "posthuman cyborgs" is so fanciful, that I don't think you are connected enough to reality to even make an accurate judgement on "the possible."

We have the technology TODAY, RIGHT NOW to go to mars and make it back. There is no over-arching reason to do such a thing, but there are also no significant technological barriers preventing us from doing it. Human Cyborgs are 100% impossible today, and there are a myriad number of things preventing that kind of development. For example, we cannot today, keep a brain alive for any significant time, outside of it's existing organic support body. Individual neurons? Sure, but a system of neurons at any comparable complexity as even a simple mouse brain? Nope. On the other-hand we have actually kept people alive in space for over a year, and we only need around 2years to get to mars and back. We also have the capability to send things to mars and bring them back, so combining those two things, and there ya go.

Mars L1 Lagrange point is only 2.2million km

This is false. https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=Lagrangian+points+of+mars L1 is 137Million Miles from the sun. Though it is only 650,000 miles from Mars, which is probably where you are getting your 2.2million Km from.

Indeed, and currently there exist several cities that execute that ideal more-or-less. NYC is the obvious one, but Washington DC, Chicago, hell even the worst city in America, San Francisco does it adequately. The only reason we can't have that kind of public transit everywhere is because no one is forcing city officials to plan for the long-term, and reduce sprawl.

Zero Growth Lines are a great way to mandate density, without any other policies needed.

This is cool. Reading the article I'm not sure if 1-2 Tesla is sufficient for the shield, or if you would actually need a lot more. But either way I feel like when we get to the point that we are seriously colonizing Mars in such a capacity that we need to worry about the magnetosphere, that putting a powerful magnet at the L1 point wouldn't really be that big a deal.

"Pointless" god I wish we lived in that society.

Off-road vehicles don't need to be registered or conform to any safety standards so if you are designing something for off-road use, none of this stuff matters, you just can't ALSO drive it on-road.

God I wish.

It can electrify, it just can't be carrying around batteries that will give it 300miles of range. A ford Ranger from 1990 weighs <3000lbs.

Cars didn't used to weigh that much and the safety regulations can still exist, it just requires car manufactures to fix their safety issues without adding more weight ultimately making everyone less safe.

A 1990 Ford Ranger weighed <3000 lbs.

The idea of needing specialized transport as an individual beyond just walking is a failure of society. Replacing cars with "not-cars" isn't really helping that aspect. You should be structuring society so that cars or "not-cars" have no need to exist for almost everyone.

The video kind of proves my point. It was janky, he fired <20bullets, and it jammed several times during the demo. Don't get me wrong, it's cool as hell, but yea not very practical for anything and certainly not durable enough to be a viable alternative to CNC/Milling.

I wouldn’t ban cameras, but I would require the visibility be obtained without them. Cameras can give vision that is useful and implausible without them.

Yea this is probably the better play. But too often with modern cars they use the existence of the camera's to make the sight lines impossibly dangerous (the infamous front facing camera on the f150 for example).

If there isn't a weight limit, nothing else matters. Limit truck to <3500lbs, ban cameras and require ~130 degree unobstructed view for all mirrors.

Hopefully this is sarcasm, because california specifically doesn't allow you to have solar panels powering your home unless you are disconnected from the grid and obviously if you are disconnected from the grid, you lose almost all of the economic benefits of solar power.

Point of order, Kamala didn't "lead" anything, she was chosen by party insiders of the clinton wing to take over.

Also Aljazeera has always been highly critical of the US, I started reading them fairly regularly in the mid 2000's as they were one of the only outlets criticizing Bush. (I don't think the intercept existed yet.)

Probably the same number that used 3d-printed guns.

This is basically how today's 3d printed guns work, but even still the gun isn't good for more then a few magazines afaik. So it's interesting as a way to create a gun that isn't serialized and the ATF can't trace, but it's not durable, and it still requires a good deal of precision engineering/cost, so its not feasible to print a truck-load and sell them for cheap.

I love technological non-solutions to social problems. They are the only thing the work better then passing more laws that say you can't murder people with guns.

Hell yea, I fucking love tax credits!

Ah there is that corporatism that had been hidden until the convention coming back to light. Can't wait for her student loan forgiveness plan for entrepreneurs who operate in disadvantaged areas for 3 years.

Turn off broadcast of the SSID

Don't do this. It provides zero security, and just reduces usability. Now you should call your SSID something non-identifiable. So instead of "$YourName Wifi" call it "pleasure chest" or something. Additionally do not set a ridiculous 64 character + special characters password, because again you are providing next to zero additional security, while hugely reducing usability.

Use a simple password scheme of 3-5 unrelated common words like from here: https://www.correcthorsebatterystaple.net/index.html for your wifi password.
