There may always be a moral panic but that doesn't mean every moral panic is equally misplaced. Most high school age children of the 1800s weren't inclined to read novels 12+ hours…

You can get nearly as good source reconstruction with 16 channels as with 32 channels after MEMD, and even 8 channels under MEMD performs nearly as well as raw MSP 32-channel array…

> Like the panic over fracking Fracking is absolutely not harmless. I posted elsewhere in this thread about how I have had family property damaged by fracking-induced earthquakes. …

> Honestly, fracking is a better deal than a data center. I know this is a bit of a tangent, but fracking is an absolute plague, and I would encourage you to do more research about…

I'm sure there's plenty of people who say that (on earth), but how many are going to have buyer's remorse after the first month? We tend to only send the most exemplary humans to s…

Looking out for the best interests of your members isn't activism.

Most of China's large projects are actually some type of competition with the US. The Tianjin Grand Bridge was basically built to eclipse the Causeway and showcase China's engineer…

The parent is correct. JFK famously didn't consult with engineers when picking the timeline. It was just lucky that it all worked out.

It's a significant feat to even get a robot safely to Mars. We've never gotten one back to earth. I think you are underestimating the complexity.

The British won out over the Spanish because they realized they didn't need enormous warships to win naval battles. The Spanish weren't ignoring the need for a navy--they miscalcul…

So what would the actual mission be if we went back, taking into account all these advances? Gather more rocks? Build a permanent base to... gather more rocks? I love space explora…

Your example does not support your argument. Unlike heart surgery, there hasn't been a major shift in what we could do if we went back, and more exploration probably won't change t…

I'm leaning toward this being top-notch satire, but I can't be entirely sure---and that's a good thing. > Without those standards, the profession would lose its weight, its dignity…
