  • If a Space Elevator became a reality, wouldn't the cable act as a kind of wick for all of the unfiltered radiation from outside our atmosphere?

    Jump

  • Yeah that’s kinda what I was envisioning, maybe half the tether zingin off into space when the other half fell into the pacific or desert, but even half is gonna be like 15,000km I guess.

    Also wasn’t there a scenario like this in one of the Mars Trilogy books?

  • It was supposed to say “death and” autocorrect had other ideas I guess.

  • Greenland PM Tells People to Prepare for Possible Invasion

  • Democrats would have to effectively organize and train in a large enough group to not just be instantly wiped out or imprisoned as “insurrectionists”. Technically it would be an insurrection, but with some outside help or military backing it could turn into a coup.

    Does the rest of the world want a destabilized civil warring nuclear state? It’s not likely to stay contained even in the western hemisphere.

    The European aristocracy was "absolutely gleeful in pronouncing the American debacle as proof that the entire experiment in popular government had failed. European government leaders welcomed the fragmentation of the ascendant American Republic."[134]

    History rhyming again I guess.

  • Many of us have empathy, and feel terrible that the rest of the world has to deal with the bullshit that a third of our country and half our political system has voted for. Your comment seems to be blind to that fact.

  • Stephen Miller Orders Cops to ‘Surrender’ to Feds in MAGA Fever Dream

    Jump

  • They hit plenty of cops in the backs of their heads.

  • Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff. Game on.

    Jump

  • Deutsche Bank was Trump’s biggest lender launderer. I guess they ran out of Russian cash?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Bank?wprov=sfti1#Banking_for_Donald_Trump,_1995%E2%80%932021

    In May 2019, The New York Times reported that anti-money laundering specialists in the bank detected what appeared to be suspicious transactions involving entities controlled by Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, for which they recommended filing suspicious activity reports with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the Treasury Department, but bank executives rejected the recommendations.

  • Yeah the dearth of destruction left by it falling would be insane. I assume it would have to be built along mainly west coasts to mitigate risks. But maybe it’s more important to be somewhere with less hurricane/cyclone risks, and with really stable bedrock obviously.

  • If we had real AGI and not just shitty chatbots, we could tell them to melt their GPUs for the good of the planet.

  • Unfortunately here in the US it’s increasingly pertinent information. It makes me want to pack up my family and leave to somewhere sane (er).

  • What's the worst game you've ever had the misfortune of playing?

    Jump

  • NES Where’s Waldo was pretty bad too especially for fans of the books.

    There was a helicopter shooting game that somehow didn’t really work with the light gun too, but I forget the name.

  • Advice for a Mac user switching to Linux?

    Jump

  • Even the gestures? Mac’s gesturing system for the UI and all native and most non native apps is why I stay with it.

  • Dutch Radboud University selects Fairphone as standard smartphone for employees

  • Had to do this with an iPhone. Induction charging has a hard time keeping up with GPS antenna, streaming music and directions on long drives. Especially if you have a decently thick case to try and keep the damn phone in one peice for any length of time.

  • They’ve been the same for my entire life now. What do you think Nixon and his pals (some of whom are still in politics) were?

  • Ed Zitron on big tech, backlash, boom and bust: ‘AI has taught us that people are excited to replace human beings’

  • They think AGI will be able to make better solutions from their dumb ideas. They think it’ll be a magic bullet to what? Another notch on the billionaire list. The end goal in itself is sick to begin with for most of them, or else they’d be running non profits to help the world.

  • More its smell than its flavor. Though about half of us are pretty salty about the situation.

  • Same for tax revenue. These AI companies aren’t profitable, and I have a hard time seeing them ever paying enough taxes to make up for the costs of their presence, especially in a smaller community.

  • Facebook is forcing new users to use facial recognition

    Jump

  • Marketplace has killed most other local trading stuff sites. Craigslist is still limping along, but has far less available at higher prices than FBMP. I’m happy to hear of viable alternatives, especially for used vehicles, tools and equipment. I’ve saved a lot of money on my business and hobbies that way, but would leave in a heartbeat if there’s a real competitor.
