    Did you read Trump's post about the mission calling the previous administration incompetents? That predates Berger's post?
  2. PavleMiha parent
    But Crew 10 had also been planned for a while, so the narrative that Trump ordered a new ship to go up "NOW" can't be true. For example, heres a post about NASA moving the launch date to March, in December last year: https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/commercialcrew/2024/12/17/nasa-ad...

    > That's just being realistic, isn't it?

    As evidenced by this situation it's not true that any criminal can give money to any politician and expect favours. Perhaps some criminals curry more favour, and perhaps some politicians are more transactional.

    12 Pool means build your spawning pool at 12 supply, usually the number before the building is at which supply you build the building, and it assumes you're constantly producing workers.

    I guess it is? No one can force Apple to sell iPhones in Europe.

    Quoting is very different from posting the full contents of something. I can quote a book but I can’t reproduce it in its entirety.

    It's both, the methods by which the election is made secure and accurate should be understandable by most people. Most people don't understand cryptography and cybersecurity.

    Feels obvious to say this, but very odd that the article didn't mention, lying is bad, especially when done for profit.

    Speculating, but Apple wanted to make sure that the only people photographed using the headset were models and actors who are very attractive. That way whenever a news outlet runs a story about it, they have to use the picture of the attractive/cool people using it, and people make an association that the headset makes people attractive/cool.

    And now they’re down to 2,300 according to Musk. Those are huge layoffs, even if we take pre pandemic staffing numbers as a baseline.

    Unless you have some information I don’t, Twitter is way below its pre-pandemic staffing levels. Obviously hard to tell exactly how low they went as they’re not public anymore, but this is quite different from Meta and such that really did just go back to pre-pandemic level. CNBC say Twitter is at 1300 people, a drop of 80%. It’s mind boggling.

    Here’s almond milk referenced in a recipe in 1410:

    “For to make blomanger. Nym rys & lese hem & washe hem clene, & do þereto god almande mylke & seþ hem tyl þey al tobrest; & þan lat hem kele.”

    People have used the word milk to refer to some plant products for too long for this to confuse people now.

    Just don’t allow that, it doesn’t seem to be a slippery slope at all. Is there any evidence people are getting fooled by oat milk or nut cheese?

    Google isn’t worried about individuals suing them, they’re worried about governments or entities like the EU fining them

    I get criticising science journalism, but this isn’t even a metaphor, it’s one of the meanings of “spar” as per most dictionaries: to argue.

    On the other hand, why would people use their collective power to sink the company they work for? No company, no jobs. In reality the power has to be balanced between the two, and both parties need to act carefully and rationally.

    There are other potential explanations for your observation[1]. Do you think you could be subject to confirmation bias?

    Sorry, I'm definitely not very familiar with macro-economics, but is your opinion that any amount of inflation is bad?
  22. PavleMiha parent
    Yes, and also two of the trusses to the secondary mirror (these are the two additional horizontal lines). The Hubble Space Telescope gets 4 lines because of its 4 trusses.

    Carbon offsets are super complicated, potentially shady, and I don’t fully understand them, but the gist of it is that they pay money to companies to either not produce carbon that they otherwise would have, or use the money to install and operate equipment in factories and powerplants that captures carbon before it goes out into the world. You can also do things that pull carbon out of regular air but I think the first two options are so much more efficient that they dominate the market. It seems like the system could be gamed, but as far as I know it broadly works.

    The article seems to state there wasn't a lot of value in the cold wallets.

    Would you actually be willing to bet money on this 1 to 1? I. e. that Holmes serves no days in prison.

    This looks really cool, I found the line "inherently safer than digital computing in the face of cyber threats" pretty funny. There's no analog internet so what could the cyber threats even be?
  29. PavleMiha parent
    My problem with this is that we have little proof that people are any good at this sort of task (i.e. monitoring something without intervening for really long stretches of time).

    So if data show that people keep failing at it we have to take a look and decide that it's not a good system, not that the people are at fault.
