The gyroscope and battery should not be getting exposed without permission. That seems unexpectedly invasive, and I'm in tech.
Also we should disable referrer field.
The interface is great for what it does though. I still use ti-83 interface with the calculator app on my phone.

My brand new Pixel phone several years back, I was so excited it was IP68. Took some photos splashing around in water, not more than a foot or two. It died in minutes.

I would make the same argument about bicycles then. What is the point of spending taxpayer money providing services for such a dangerous activity?

The counter argument is this: if the chance of dying is 2% to make a historic mission, then people should be able to make that choice. What's your counterargument to this statement?
As for your hazards Microgravity can be counteracted with a centrifugal living environment.
Radiation can not be mitigated effectively yet other than throwing mass at the problem. But if someone wants to launch enough mass that's on them.

I was not arguing about the hazards of space travel. Of course it is hazardous. I dislike the article because his conclusion is more dangerous to society than any hazardous activity: "something is dangerous therefore nobody should do it." And he makes no arguments to support this conclusion.

"Space travel is bad for your health and here's what we know about it" is actually a fine article. It's his concluding statement that is contemptible.
"Space may be fascinating, wonderful, and exciting, but most of all, it is incredibly dangerous. As far as human space travel goes, it’s probably best that it stays in the realm of science fiction, at least for the foreseeable future."
How about letting explorers, informed adults, and risk takers make their own decisions.

About as dangerous as climbing Everest. So we definitely shouldn't do that either, in case these pearl clutching anti-progress journalists experience emotional discomfort.

Probably because at that time, normal people weren't rolling off the back of a massive inflationary period where they can no longer afford to look forward to having enough money to buy/use/participate in whatever cool new technology arises.

Just like AI, the winners will (continue to) be the ones with the most access to data and the technical and financial capital to make use of it.

China is capitalist on a state level, that's where they are winning. The US lets things get mired in red tape and special interests because nobody wants to take responsibility for growth.
In China, I imagine that if your company does something relevant to the five year initiative then you get a lot of red tape cut for you.
