why would a token a) last forever, and b) not be created as a response by your smart ID card to a challenge token?

Bring back nntp

Air-conditioners are heat pumps and everyone should be using heat pumps

When will we see an open source car?

writing and calling an entire python setup seems massive overkill, surely just have an internal way of calling a simple calculator function would be millions of times faster

SpaceX already dominates the global industry, there's barely anything left to grow into at current $/kg, but of course reducing $/kg by 10x means 10x more cargo to launch

Self driving is already here, so far the remaining bugs are pretty much just noticing thin objects and parking in restricted spaces

They're second in the race to self driving after Waymo, they're making the Cybercab, seems to be working out great as their cars will cost way less than Waymo's

Except the only way to watch some shows is now piracy, they've been erased from streaming and never available on disc

https://terafab.ai/ has a diagram of the proposed satellites

Planned to get a discount from MS at least

I have an ARM desktop from 1986 or 1987

And the other half run BSD

you can still remove the drm and sideload them

Most of our thinking now is about how we made rocks think, gods, and fiction. None of those are created by evolution

Internet is way behind on democracy. In general everyone likes democracy until they're in charge, then they realise they're the best person to be in charge and the idiots who vote don't have a clue, and should probably be banned if not beheaded for speaking out of turn.

You'd have to weight votes by some kind of participation metric to solve the problem of very little authentication of the voters

The metric being house fires

1. subscribe to channels you like 2. only use the subscription tab

He said moon first, not no Mars. And a decade to build a moon city, not to get there.

However what people say and their real reasons aren't always the same.

I assume Issacman went around to everyone and convinced them to say they're all switching on the moon, add another test flight to delay things, and in return they'll switch to using Starship in the future as they will cancel Block 1B of Artemis

Space X cares way more about reusability than the moon, they're not actually in a race to the moon. Step 1: build the best general solution. Step 2: do everything

Once Starship has launched 1000 times without problems it'll be obviously safer despite having no abort system

Going to Mars takes about the same delta-v as the moon.

SpaceX launches 80% of the world's mass to orbit, they probably know what they're doing.

Starship is an extremely hard problem, and their aim is to reduce cost of getting mass to orbit by another 10x after Falcon 9 did the same.

Falcon 9 needs about 4% of fuel to land on a ship, 14% to return to launchpad

Why would you say they've had 100% failure rate? What did you think the reason was to launch and how did it fail?

You want to add a load of buttons? Should be easy enough, just get them to send codes to the computer via the network.

Door handles are harder, what do you want to change? Inner or outer?

What's insane about the charging port?

They invented offices because the massive increase in productivity required more organisation than "I'll take it all to the market on Saturday"

Surely as soon as they're safer than humans they should be deployed as fast as possible to save some of the 3000 people who are killed by human drivers every day

But probably only $10

Obviously the sane solution is to put a webcam inside your fridge

Did it mention that USA bombed the entire country of North Korea completely destroying 85% of all buildings?

Every news organisation thinks they're the one you want to read, they want you to be a loyal customer to them and not read other newspapers. Google News used to have "see 349 other articles on this story" which really showed how pointless news organisations were, constantly rewriting/licencing other people's content.

Any news aggregator platform is only used by news organisations under duress.
