  • What I cannot get about this arguement is that it’s entirely circular.

    We cannot implement gun law because implementing gun law would violate the existing law. Yeah, that’s called changing the law. Republicans do it all the time. Often to someone’s detriment.






  • My brother-in-law is big into crypto, I’ve had the same arguement with him so many times I’ve lost count. Investment requires that you invest in something that has value that will actually increase, and other than the crypto bros no one’s buying into cryptocurrencies so the value isn’t going to increase.

    Anyway he’s rich, so I suppose it doesn’t really matter but it’s such a waste of money. Like if you want to invest get into stocks and shares at least they actually do increase in value.


  • If the industrial base is there you could build an angled gyroscope to add the necessary gravity. Although realistically much of the processing and shipping would be automated anyway. Unless AI gets really good some humans would still be necessary for oversight but reasonably with only a couple of seconds time delay that could be done from Earth.

    If we were doing asteroid mining out in the belt that would definitely require some sort of habitat though. Again, assuming we don’t get AGI or uploading humans to software or something like that.













  • In the example you’re talking about the scientists were using it as a database. A Microsoft executive even came out and told them that you shouldn’t use it as a database.

    Occasionally there’s even articles in scientific journals explaining why you shouldn’t use Excel as a database and suggesting alternatives. But for some reason people still turn to their favourite not database database software.
