All of HN is rate limited in posting, no?

Ummm… I do. It’s not a hard b sound, but it is there. It sort of moves the location of the “t” sound down towards a “b.” It defiantly does not sound like “det”. And I distinctly pr…

In the 80’s? What CS classes.

The law of the excluded middle is also known as the “sandwich theorem” because it drives directly from a physical observation. I happen to agree with the constructionists that math…

Because the Chinese economy collapsing affects business everywhere.

Math is fundamentally a description of the physical world. Mathematicians don’t like to hear this because they have their own ideas about the platonic realm of math, but it is true…

Well said. The headline is bonkers…

There’s not that much radiation in this water. None of those concerns would apply. They could literally just dump it into the ocean without measurable effect, which is the plan of …

It is literally two things connected by a rope. A tether-based spun spacecraft is trivial from an engineering perspective, and can have as large a radius as you need to avoid diffe…

Good thing there’s no Strontium-90 in this water. The only thing it contains is trace amounts of titrium. Which could be safely dumped in the ocean.

They have literally hundreds of these tanks. They were building them every few days. Doesn’t take away from your main point though.

Did you live during the Cold War? I struggle to understand why someone would want to live under that constant existential threat of nuclear annihilation.

Spin the spacecraft. Done.

A small factor more than aircraft in the short term. Zero in the medium term when launch companies vertically integrate propellant production based on renewables. A net positive on…

I think I am. Thanks for the correction.

Learning a programming language is easy. Learning software engineering takes months even just for the basics. The first time you learn to code, you’re doing both. Just hang in ther…

Are you sure? I haven’t been able to buy a CPU that doesn’t have SHA2 acceleration for an number of years now.

Why is it not SHA2 which would be faster still with hardware support?

Journalists have a limited First Amendment right not to be forced to reveal information or confidential news sources in court. There’s a lot of caveats related to this though. It’s…

Possibly also journalists, although this is less respected in practice.

I appear to have misread.

As a multi-time victim of SIM swaps and even a related SWATing, I sure as hell hope not.
