A wholly reductionist comment that misstates my opinions. Believe it or not I think there’s an optimal space between the environmental conservatism I’m espousing and charging forwa…

Yes, because the "charge forward and worry about the consequences later" mantra has proven so historically successful over the past 100 years when it comes to environmental steward…

Aircraft use hydrocarbons which require similarly intensive chemical processes to create the fuels from the same constituent ingredients as the Sabatier reaction.

I agree space is cool. But why do you think the "space is cool" mantra is more important than ensuring that for the 8 billion humans that call this planet home—we have somewhere su…

Why isn't SpaceX doing that then? Why isn't any airline doing that then? Oh look, it's cheaper to use refined natural gas from a well. That's why. In the absence of either properly…

Tell me why I shouldn't be concerned about thousands of starships launching from Earth and emitting multiple megatons of Carbon Dioxide in the fragile upper atmosphere? Some studie…

Hi there. Where did you purchase those from?

And botulinum toxin only needs to exist in microscopic quantities to cause injury and death—would you eat a jar contaminated with it?

Satellites are significantly more metal-rich than meteors—also it's clear with Starship and multiple large (10,000+) satellite constellations that the total deorbited mass annually…

You sound exactly like the type who would defend ULA and other rocketry incumbents when SpaceX was a tiny startup. Why are we so intent on dismissing the little players here?

The OP nor the study made no indication that the two were related — merely that they correlate.

> Apps can host code. You say that like it's a good thing.

Possibly inadvisable, but you can disable SIP in High Sierra by using `csrutil` from the recovery OS (kind of moot, admittedly, as you'll need to be in recovery to trash the files …

> And with Clover bootloader, it's even easier than it's ever been And it's about to start getting far more difficult too. In my opinion, we've reached "peak hackintosh". Now with …

There's two JS libraries using the term "ristretto", we've all heard of mocha. "espresso" seems to be a disused node.js tooling library, similarly, "flat white" is a disused CMS, "…

Is there a possibility this could fall afoul of antitrust laws or be deemed monopolistic behaviour? What are the legal considerations here?

> If another company rolled a 200kwh car out of the back of a truck ... That's the thing. They didn't. The roadster concept didn't have 200kWh in it at all.

Presumably you live either up Kapiti Coast or Upper Hutt/Wairarapa? The latter has tables which make things much easier.

Agreed. This plus a number of plugins disappearing in FF57 with the new WebExtensions have forced me to switch to Safari. On the plus side now, I get my tabs across all my devices.…

I'm in a similar position to yourself here. Would love to apply as I think working on something essentially similar to a space program would be incredible, but as someone who value…

It's an interesting conundrum. One could argue this is a precedent. Then it becomes a question of "for what levels of severity do they patch vulnerability for?".

This is genuinely applicable to me. I don't remember any of my passwords since I'm logged in at most places via cookies, and my passwords are completely randomized strings two doze…

> I'm going to go out on a limb and venture that you will find less coal and solar powered submarines than that. To be fair, submarines are an entirely different use case compared …

> And why is all that? Red tape and bureaucracy, while the world literally burns. Can I ask what specific requirements surrounding the development and operation around nuclear plan…
