- Funny that you mention this, Ion thrusters do exist. They are a thing but with very limited uses cases. They still need a kind of propellant gas like Xenon or Krypton that gets used.
- You lie, or have no idea what has been discussed in Finland for the past few months. The public has given a very clear mandate to join NATO ASAP.
Here's the latest poll news from 2022-05-09. "Yes" at 76%. https://yle.fi/news/3-12437506
And additional interesting bits, both the president have backed joining, and Sweden is joining NATO too: "A possible Swedish application for Nato membership would raise backing in Finland to 83 percent.
A clear position by the Finnish president and the government backing membership raise support by around the same margin, to 82 percent."
Meaning the support to join is overwhelmingly in majority.
- You seem to lack the simplest terms when talking of IP laws. Copyright is something you infringe. You don't even say what you are referring to here by talking of "IP". The important stuff is always in details.
There's a large amount of misinformation and people lacking an understanding on the differences between copyright, patents and trademarks. Making these threads repetitive to read. Always such a pointless anecdotes such as yours, truncating all IP systems under "IP laws".
For example. The patent system came to existence to ensure that inventions were not hidden, but published to the public in a form patent. Instead of the inventor hiding the invention, the society grants the inventor sole rights to the invention thanks to them making it public.
Copyright and Trademark are different beasts to Patents, and all these are very linked to the laws of single countries, bar signed treaties. Please distinguish what you are talking about. Otherwise your point is moot.
- Because the real Satoshi might be dead and took the keys with him to grave. I, to this day don't understand why it's not obvious why Satoshi has not done anything public for over 10 years.

Craig knew Dave, knows the coins are so close to his reach but he will never get to them.
- Is the meal you are cooking a new recipe to you? You gotta plan and do things slower don't you? If it's something you know how to do, you don't really use brainpower on the serialization of when to do what, but experience. Good and fast cooking is all about serializing tasks, not doing multiple things at the same time.
My breakfast routines are routines, If I start to mix up my routine, egg, bread and coffee timings are all screwed up. I overcook the egg, coffee is late. I have noticed timing and serializing tasks is everything when cooking anything. I think this is where the french(?) mise en place comes from, prepare every ingredient before hand, so when you have multiple stoves going on, ingredients are ready and you can focus on time critical stuff.
- What, you don't breathe this magical glitter dust in and out every day?
I feel old reading these kind of blog posts that assume that we all know what the latest unicorn has been spewing out of its butt. It's like I'm missing out on the greatest debate. On dung.
I'm sure it's valuable debate for those in the know. But this is just how it translates to some of us.
- Are you still stuck in 2008? Perhaps worked at Nokia?
I heard this a lot back then. Even believed it myself because how could 1000s of engineers be wrong... Ohh how nice those screens felt!
Then again it required only a few seconds of iphone usage to realize what a lie it is. Even the first crappy android phones with capacitive touchscreens was enough to show this.
- Why?
Here you have to buy access to certain frequency ranges(big money required). The bidding happens from time to time. Building the network infrastructure is not cheap either and requires specialists to work for you.
I'd rather buy that 4G from a company that can deliver it everywhere I go than move backwards in progress to use some random WIFI hosted by Joe that fights over the same frequency as John's across the road.
The "cartel" networks work pretty good tbh. They just have stagnated in everything else but networking.
- Reminds me a bit of this older site's https://exrx.net/Lists/Directory . That was a great place to use as reference when planning your exercises. This site had a whole lot more other information too. It's good to see competition.
- Don't piss them off alone, piss with others and they might treat you better.
You might want to think about the balance of the system. Are you actually choosing to work for them instead of the system making it look like they are the best job? Could it be better with some re-balancing?
A small team can quickly copy how it works and get all the artists to move platform if they were to shoot themself in the head. Right now this doesn't happen because Bandcamp functions and exists and has a reputation for musicians.
Lose that, all the artists start looking for a new home and someone will make an alternative quickly.
