    It's all designed. Top down, one mind. Designed. That's why it all works. Think about all the cells, and the thousands/millions of jobs they do, in perfect coordination just in you…

    They should make recommendations, and then before anything goes into effect, these recommendations must be passed into law (Congress passes bill, President signs it). They could bu…

    Starting at the bottom with basic facts helps build understanding.

    Almost seems too-good-to-be-true right? Such a tight margin-of-error...

    CO2 is 0.04% of the earth's atmosphere, amazing! 79% Nitrogen 21% Oxygen 0.9% Argon 0.1% Other (includes CO2)

    Amazing how precise we can get these number with what appears to be a very tight margin of error. The temperature estimating margin-of-error for sponges must be super tight! ;)

    Spoiler: There's no life on any of those planets.

    This is the correct take. Well said.

    Another great memory was writing "broken" HTML comment tags so you could disable "auto-inserted" ads from Geocities and Angelfire (and other) sites so you could look cool with your…

    So, so much time spent on DynamicDrive. It was the future. Thanks for the reminder!

    Agreed. Glad to see the "opening up" of Aerospace/Military that SpaceX has enabled by simply being extremely competent. Anduril is also making great plays in the Military contracto…

    Agreed. This is absolutely immoral. I don't know how we can trust that this evidence is useful in an "real" sense.

    Just put this out there: The higher the stakes, the less we should trust what we're "told". Esp if we're told to "believe and don't question". It won't always be obvious to you dir…

    Yes. But you have to know how to use them. And I don't mean "pressing buttons".

    This is awesome. A lot of good comes from colocating office work into a central building so the outlying areas can be used for "life affirming" purposes. Housing, parks, churches, …

    If you have an erroneous view of life and it's origins on earth, you'll come up with variations of this type of thinking. However, life didn't evolve through a random walk of chemi…

    Glad to see that SpaceX has lit a fire here. We'll look back and marvel at how much SpaceX accelerated our technological timeline due to aggressive optimism and engineering leaders…

    Terrible for personal freedom and autonomy. We have to mandate that sellers of essential goods (grocery, fuel) must always accept cash. Obvious that this will be used against "anti…

    Yeah, this should be read that the Federal Govt has to have access to national borders, full stop (agreed). It doesn't (and can't) address the fact that the reason the Federal Govt…

    Impossible. DNA degrades very quickly. Half-life is ~520 years, and you'd assume any "storage" done quickly and ad-hoc (as these things always are) would not be ideal conditions to…
