No one is asking you to celebrate them, people are just asking you not to make their existence or mentioning them illegal. That’s step one to in a path to another holocaust.

Do you not see that they’re pulling the wool over your eyes to cover up the continued consolidation of corporate power? This culture war bullshit is just a distraction and a way for them to tighten the screws of authoritarian control.

Next thing they’ll be arguing they need to prevent anonymity on the web to fight the “gay agenda” or that they need to be able to search people’s homes for “gay propoganda” without a warrant.

“ I don’t care what the Jews do in their personal life, I just don’t want them teaching my kids Bolshevism and degeneracy” ~ how hitler convinced people to commit genocide. You’ve already fallen for step 1

It is facism when a minority ruling class tries to enforce their own moral standards on to every day people by way of actively suppressing and oppressing minorities. When they turn minorities in to evil boogie men than need to be eliminated to distract form them looting the country blind to benefit their rich supporters.

This the key problem in the Democratic Party right now, the onboarding of new people into the functioning of the party usually comes in the form people working on campaigns. The problem is that the campaigns with the most money, and thus the most ability to onboard new people in to the party system, are those mediocre bland candidates that do nothing to threaten large companies and rich individuals, so the bulk of new people coming in to the party for the past 30 years have been people who think such candidates are a good choice.

So now all the people with meaningful influence with in the party structure are people adverse to actually popular candidates. People who think “despite the poor poll numbers, we should continue to run candidates that look pretty and do a little as possible, because the average voter doesn’t want change, and we should seek to undermine any candidate that suggest otherwise as they may hurt our standing with the key “moderate” voter base”

I’d recommend looking in to the cost plus contracting system that nasa used for years and that can likely be blamed for the cost over runs and delays.

I mean, we’re talking about hydrogen for rockets here which is an absolutely tiny portion of global fuel consumption, wether or not we should be using it for anything else and the costs and scale of doing so is neither here nor there. ( Personally I think hydrogen powered cars are dumb)

In the context of rocket science hydrogen is just a better fuel in absolute terms. It is ~25% more efficient than methane. It’s less dense and thus needs larger tanks, but due to the square cube law that matters less and less the larger the rocket is, so on particularly large rockets like those going to the moon, hydrogen is just flat out better and leads to smaller less costly rockets if done properly.

The problem is that Boeing has been holding nasa hostage and extracting ransom, I don’t think nasa should be reliant on private companies for it’s rockets, they should have a internal department that develops and builds boosters in a similar way to how JPL works with probes and rovers. It would be costly upfront for sure, but would save money in the long run since it would prevent private companies from exploiting public interests in the future.

The SLS isn’t owned by the people ether, not really anyways, all the infrastructure and production lines are owned by Boeing which is just as bad as any of the new companies.

Personally I think NASA should just have an internal booster production team/facility like they do with rovers and probes through JPL.

It’s ludicrous to me that the consensus coming out of the space shuttle program and SLS that nasa’s designs were blamed for cost when the cost mainly came from choices made by private interests and contractors.

So long as the video runs continuously once the page loads, I’m not particularly bothered by latency. Admittedly I’m not everyone, but I think most people care more about the content than the UX. I mean, hell, YouTube has a pretty miserable UX in different ways, not from lack skill on the part of the people who make and maintain it or limitations of technology, but from the poor cooperate incentives and goals that govern it.

Tempted to looking in to self hosting video content, it’s a real storage hog, but if compressed, I imagine some of the mid sized youtube channels could afford to do so, the real shame will be the difficulty for smaller creators to get discovered without a common platform.

No, the plane just accidentally flew in to an air defense missile that was inexplicably hovering at 10,000 meters.

“ Ha ha ha, gumbo has taken the blame for what I, pissboi, have done to the huuman’s food cave.”

You’re hardly responsible for the actions and decisions of several large companies. Your choice to buy a fancy card or run a powerful rig are not even a drop in the bucket compared to the actions of companies that shoe horn in the tech even when it isn’t wanted just so they can sell more.

It’s certainly algorithmic but I wouldn’t call it intelligence.

I mean, I have no doubt they got money for the contract to “develop” a new stealth bomber, but really they were just making arty shells, because Russia lacks the ability to produce stealth craft, despite their claims to the contrary.

I … did not know about this website and am happy to know of it. So often have I been researching something for personal curiosity only to be hit with a paywall in excess of what is reasonable for me to pay for a passing curiosity.

He’s stated he wants to make it in to an “everything” app/web sight, which to me implies a payment method, and given his attempt to cultivate crypto fans, I think it’s safe to say, he is in fact trying again to make “X” as a payment method work, I suppose he figures the issue last time was a shortage of mass adoption, and with twitters built in user base that’s less an issue now.

Obviously, there are to many glaring issues in this to count, but when has that ever bothered him?

Two brand giants clash narratives.

“Their doing hate speech against me! Ironic is it not?”

“Mr. musk, telling you that you’re doing a bad job of managing moderation is not hate speech”

“ WELL I HATED IT!”

Be carful not to burn your self out, like, give it your all and do your best, but remember to keep a pace that you can maintain.

Personally, it’s with very specific information that I can’t fit in to some sort of train of thought.

Like a specific date, a specific number, a specific name. Nah, that’s not gonna stick and I need to write it down.

If I can fit it in to a narrative or a train of thought I can remember it shockingly well, but it needs to be something that I can cross link to a bunch of other information as well.

If it’s something that just kinda stands out as a single data point, I’m going to forget it, so I gotta write it down.
