Its just a secular attempt to flee responsibilities towards "higher authority". Someone out there is in charge and capable to control things. There is a captain and a bridge, somewhere on this debris-hulk we call a ship.

? Are you serious.

We have concepts for light driven probes now. They even can slow down, by ejecting a parabolic lightsail, that bounces light from the opposit direction back to them.

Its all lightweight and - way more feasable, if you abandon the " a human has to go there idea". Communication would be an issue, but otherwise...

Eh, we ruled that out - within our observable time-frame, but we do not know about exotic, long-term orbits. Like a 50.000 year elipse out into the ort cloud and back in.

Sponsored by: Local asbestos mill. The news: boring. The horroscope: Interesting. One starsign only, cancer.

But this discussion is a free market media dark forrest culture side effect visible. Nobody trusts anything, everyone stalks the night, trying to influence and manipulate everyone else. Honest communications or islands of honesty, attract the stalkers as the sound of prey.

True mitigation would be spin-wheel sleeping and standing. Basically a centrifuge with spacesuits at the end, so they sleep/train in simulated gravity. They do not have that on the iss- although the snake-robot crane could do the job.

I wish they would go into more detail regarding the health effects. Eyesight, bone density, cancher risks, etc. I think it helps to be older though, slow cell divide and regeneration, slow down even "aggressive cancers"

This. Philosophy is the grandparent of math. And if there is a point to math, then that there always has to be a proofable point.

I think the problem is a cultural conflict between sub-concious problemsolvers and "concious" problem solvers. The later expect a algorithm , step by step instruction from the former, who when this is demanded, use there subconcious to produce a plausible story. When asked for there inspirations to deduce the process yourself, you get a crows nest of shiny things, bits and pieces, not making a reasonable whole - but they infuriatingly at the end of day do.

Why not accept that there are things you can not directly communicate with and if you are hellbent on becoming such a thing, there is no step-by-step instruction.

I hate that superior.

Superior, is good enough adapted to circumstances. Evolution turns your blood into anti-freeze as a inherited sickness, and this bug is a feature near the arctic. For the rest of the planet you are a very sick fish.

Imagine a water-world, with one volcano caldera above water. In that volcano caldera there is a geysir, and th at geysir, keeps a giant diamond ball rolling, since the dawn of time.

Evolution is not a refree, rewarding smartness or excellence. It just a process rewarding even foolish adaptions, in my example, the ability to become flat and squeeze into rift and cracks. It also rewards cultural taboos, like sticking your flatworm head up and wonder at the sky.

So superior, the word, assumes the idea of progress, of going forth towards the end of history, that the process can not crash and get stuck in a million years looping till the sun goes out. And that "getting stuck" is a very real thing, a very real danger, a "reasonable" voice from the gut, to return to reliable roots and thrust your "gut-instincts."

Which is itself just a titanic wrapping on a gigantic effort, to convert all human knowledge into a spreadsheet - and becomes instantly tained by echolalia, as the AI output poisons itself.

To be honest, in hollywood, you do everything a million times. The first three takes going to waste on warming up and learning the lines do not slow the production down much. The perfectionism of some directors, the disinterests by some actors and the size of the endavour do the most damage.

This bubble makes up large parts of the world wide pension schemes. Without rents to enslave the younger generations, the wealth will be extracted by other means, aka prices rising or services getting ever more expensive. There is no escape from this.

Ah, it can also block shorts - excellent. No more pseudo choice harassment before they shove the feed down your throat anyway.

Thanks, i did not know..

But they have no big influence, they just play the courtjester to a forever demented king.

It would be so trivial for github to inspect commits for tokken and reject them. Just one default github action.

For a day lost? So its 31 days a month, this value muptiplied with 52.. 161.200. 000$ - not good, not terrible.

Look to your left, look to your right, count the heads. Now divide the money that was lost through the number of heads. This is the theoretical ceeling- how much you could make if there were no shareholders and you had your own company - or had a union.

That is what the feet message and communicate. If they say we do a deathmarch on this project, that is what your managers polished shoes tell the world.

How about, if you can proof your company engages in monopoly practices, you get as a reward, parts of the company to start your own?

I actually like it. Unfinnished Ideas are .. the waves the buisness problems make when bumping into the software. These ideas are usually collection points for notes on how something is impossible (due to reality, buisness or architecture) or otherwise constrained.

They are not actual features, they are a information collection on how a idea might be not possible or a placeholder for a better solution not yet in the making.

Not all tickets have to become a feature in software- some can become wikipedia pages on requirements/conditions of the project.

Should call them what they are, behavioural hacking to introduce compliant, seddated behaviour, without a longterm grasp of the damage the hacks inflict. Obvious solution? More law-ducttape on the imperfect ape.

Imagine this is the selector, the great filter, of who gets to thrive in a field. One department head who publish faked/made-up papers, poisons the whole surrounding environment, killing science in his environment for 10 years. Now imagine the whole field poisoned, where it takes some outlying independent research institute, detached from the field to bring up evidence to bring the cartel down. Science should have more of these "outside" field quality check stations, that bring down fraudsters. No original research there, just reproduction of experiments central to theories and vital to the name of those leading the field.

Particles in heat are more active, as in brownian motion puts them allover the place, the cooler things get, the smaller the ripples, the less likely to interact with another particle, by transfering that ripple.

Now in solid materials, that neighbour is always there to distribute any energy to everyone equally. But from solid to gas, there is only the surface and a gases density is lower, so the transfer propability shrinks again.

This is because, states at some size become immoral power machines deeply distrusting one another.

Which is why such reputational fallout needs to taint not only the MBA careers involved, it has to burn everyone involved and really hurt. The schools who educated them, there future employers, such shenanigans with the lifes of others have to make you radioactive. Taking the money for the responsibility has to involved some damocles swoards hanging over the boards.

They were also made to train a workforce for industrial production. Some part of the school curiculum is detrimental for todays tasks.

Its hard when a utopia dies. Due to a walkout of citizens in reality - and the model society you envisioned implodes, while external forces on which you projected the utopia and who are actually just dystopian empires use the resulting weakness to spread.

Imagine a architect, kicking a machine that will not fly. Add colorful curses.

The last time this happened, was when the people of the sovjiet union rebelled. And the western left leaning intelligentsia has held a grudge against the whole of eastern europe ever since. Chomsky comes to mind.

It was for the whole history of small-town, shop-owner, working sunup to sundown, what have manchilds todo with that?

When you were at the hight of numbers, you starved a fish species to extinction that dependet on plancton too. Do you feel bad about that?

Some people are just evil.

I have found a broken lead motorbike battery in a watery ditch near the farm of my brother. When you have fields and see the shit people throw on the land - just because its cheaper then garbage-dump. Only socialized garbage dispossal works. Its goto be cheap, instant, everywhere- else..

Biggest pigs are construction companys (painters) and restaurants (had somebody dump a truck-load of old kepab-meat). You have no recourse.

Also highly problematic are plants from gardens. People buy exotic plants, that grow beyond all excpectations, trim them and throw the "compost heap" trash into the forrest. Where it takes root again and things go wild.

Once its reported, the bill to clean that up goes to the landowner.

Also fun - new building material dumps - stryofoam and brick mixed- dumped in the wilderness and if found by officals, the landowner goto dig it all up and disposse it. Its incredibble how fewfarmers murder people.
