She's starting to talk like climate change deniers and intelligent design cranks. Paranoid and desperate for attention.

You're correct, the comet theory has been debunked for years at this point.

I don't see how the threat of regulatory capture would argue against letting experts decide what actions need to be taken to protect the publics health and the environment

I would much rather unelected bureaucrat scientists decide how to implement the intent and application of laws than congress.

Question for any physicists out there. If the theory can be tested with just a 1 kg mass on Earth, could the fluctuation in mass of GPS satellites also be detectable from their timing data?

I've used Pocket Casts for ~8 years. Can't recommend it enough, a really great app.

I dont think there's much to discuss about this article because Kaku's opinion on AI is worthless.
He is less a physicist than a parrot that is paid to repeat far fetched claims about whatever pop science thing is in the news.

Further in the paper
"The mean of the bootstrapped estimates of the tipping time is 〈tc〉 = 2050, and the 95% confidence interval is 2025–2095."

It's kind of weird they say it emulates mobile interfaces.

Because it is* much farther away from Earth and closer to the sun at that point.

Neat. Reminds me of the Racer game Google put out a decade ago with music by Giorgio Moroder.
Re:T-Mobile is buying Ryan Reynolds’ Mint Mobile for up to $1.35B

I don't disagree, but as someone who uses T-Mobile, the only thing they have going for them is their cheap prices and freebies. And even then they're barely worth it. If prices rise their customer base will disappear.

Absurd finger pointing without any self-reflection. If this represents the thinking of powerful people in silicon valley then I'm glad their world is burning down.

Re:Netflix wants to chop down your family tree
on Thursday February 02, 2023 @01:11PM (#34630683)
I pay for way more streaming services than I should but unsubscribed from Netflix years ago and started sharing a login with extended family. Even though I have access to it I rarely use Netflix. The only thing I remember watching in the past year is The Sandman. Almost every interesting new show or old movie is available on a different service. I wonder if this is the beginning of the end for them.
