What happened to emberjs? It was poised to become the next big thing after react and angular and suddenly nobody talks about it anymore.

Habitable planets with the exact chemistry to support your species without expensive or slow terraforming.

> You can't build a spaceship if you don't learn to get along with others.

We literally built rockets and started spacial exploration out of a pissing contest. It has been clearly on mankind history that we don't need to cooperate as a unified peaceful race to advance technological progress.

Like an inverted "Serenity" movie.

"Einstein-Cartan-Evans theory" of the "Evans field equations" proposed by... Myron Wyn Evans. Full crackpot but still. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein%E2%80%93Cartan%E2%8...

That's ignorant bullshit. Venezuela is the only SA country one can call a failed state. The rest is doing well. No first world countries nor the highest HDI but call them failed states it's just stupid.

> As an aside, George RR Martin 40+ years ago wrote a book called Dying of the Light. I really enjoyed it just for the concept. In this book there are so-called Festival worlds. These are worlds that wander between systems. When they approach stars they get sufficiently warm and thaw out and may have oceans and atmospheres in that time. People would build cities in that time knowing it was all temporary.

Wow so this could be the explanation for erratic seasons of unpredictable duration in ASOIAF?

This read like a bad ML model trained with Deepak Chopra books. Absolute bullshit.

Isn't already?

Isn't weird though that Quibi failed so hard to capitalize that

Like the battle between Sherlock and Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows?

Mosaic I think.

Shouldn't break by itself with Mars' tidal forces alone?

"Your gut has a brain... AND THATS A GOOD THING"

> Finally. Is this the state of cutting-edge research on SETI? This wishful-thinking make-believe "look what I made Mum!" stuff? If this was a bootcamp dev showing off their WebGL modelling demo, I'd be impressed. 'nuff said. Sorry to be harsh, but... really? this is it?

I mean, when all you have to work is literally nothing all you can do is speculate. It is disappointing but what can they do but throw everything at the wall and see if it sticks.

It sure is way easier with a < 5 MM population and an overall small country. I don't think it's a good example of what's possible or not.

Why wouldn't be a good thing for academia drive out unethical actors?

SG1 was a gold mine of genre savvy moments

>Carter: We just passed -40 degrees > >Jackson: Farenheit or Celsius? > >Mitchell: At that temperature they're the same

Using a modern IDE after tunning and mastering vim command and modes for years is a real struggle.

> The demoscene is an underground computer art culture

I've seen A LOT of posts of demoscene here on HN through the years so what does "underground" means in this context? Genuinely curious.

> You can't "colonize and terraform Siberia" without turning the US into a scorching desert.

How does it work?

Maybe those stories refer to natural fission reactors. Cursed stones buried deep in the ground that heat themselves and kill people who comes too close.

>4. Is the DMC a movement? > >No. We prefer to stay put.

Gave me a good chuckle.

It looks like MDF with extra steps. Also, eco-friendly like "PLA is biodegradable" (which is technically true but practically false)? With epoxy? I don't think so.

Venus is the closest planet to earth. In average should be Mercury, but you get the point.

That's a lot of assumptions about alien psychology and behavior. We barely understand animal psychology and language. There's literally zero ground to begin to understand an intelligent alien species capable of interstellar travel.

What about hands with gloves? Almost two years in a pandemic it should be standard by now. And what about consent? If I send you a handshake you don't have the chance to let me hanging. Same for the fist bump. My grandpa lost 3 fingers in a milling machine and he doesn't feel comfortable using 5 fingers hand emojis. Heck he can't even feel his left hand is represented because all emojis have perfectly straight fingers and he has artritis. Also, both hands in the handshake emoji are the same complexion. What about fat people with fat fingers? Or people with Marfan syndrome and disproportionately long fingers? It looks to me that the emoji industry is ripe for disruption. /s

> Life there feels like living in an over-sized company town, not a nation.

How so?

Why media and government keep calling them "attacks"? If three letters agencies are so eager to call them attacks I suppose they know how that would work and they have similar tech right? If so, is there any documented case of "washington syndrome" in russian/chinese/iranian diplomats? (Sorry for my english)

> It would likely imply they found a way to relatively cheaply attain faster-than-light travel, for example, perhaps by some kind of spacetime-manipulating mechanism like wormholes or Alcubierre/warp drives. (Which some scientists believe could maybe be theoretically plausible one day, given enough scarce resources.)

Not necessarily though. It could be a generational ship with mundane propulsion technology.
