wow, that's slick!

>The farther from the Earth, the farther from the explosion from a world ending event.

Don't end the world then. Hypothetical Mars colony is doomed anyway without support from Earth.

>There's water and c02. You don't need anything else.

You need huge amounts of energy, storage and processing facilities. And water is not that easy to find and use on Mars. You should check the videos, really enlightening.

>I wouldn't dismiss SpaceX with a Youtube video.

Nobody is dismissing SpaceX with a Youtube video. The Starship and Mars mission are being thoroughly dissected which is relevant to the topic.

>The great thing is, who cares about the people negging, it'll get done anyway,

“Going to Mars reads like that ad for Shackleton going to the Antarctic. You know, it’s dangerous, it’s uncomfortable, it’s a long journey, you might not come back alive. But it’s a glorious adventure, and it will be an amazing experience. You probably won’t have good food. If an arduous and dangerous journey where you may not come back alive—but it’s a glorious adventure—sounds appealing, Mars is the place. That’s the ad. That’s the ad for Mars. Honestly, a bunch of people probably will die in the beginning. It’s tough sledding over there. We’re not going to make anyone go. It’s volunteers only.” - Musk

I don't think they should die. But maybe it's just me.

It takes about 3 days for a spacecraft to reach the Moon. Mars takes months and not easy to reach. There is no magnetosphere and refueling idea is unrealistic. We need to find a new way to move in space. CSS[1] guys did a good rebuttal to all this nonsense:

Mars exploration has a wide presence in literature and movies which in turn backs Elon's (and Mars One etc.) grift. It is pointless and dangerous to send humans so far away on a dead planet without magnetosphere. Let's establish a base on the Moon first. This seems way more practical as a goal.

Toyota should invest in refillable batteries. New electrolytes look promising. Their bZ4X was underwhelming.

C'mon, Adobe. Open source it.

remember Flock?

A temper tantrum moderation. Great improvement!

Elon's victimhood. So fragile.

My Dolphin shows a notification in the taskbar.

KDE is so nice rn. Dolphin, Okular, KDE Connect, Krita, Kate, solid software and foundation.

We have come full circle. I remember seeing lots of Twitter's fail whale when it was run on RoR.

doubt. Snowden is a Putin's trophy.

yeah, "beat your friends, so your enemies will be scared of you" proverb

The original service is getting reverse-engineered: https://youtu.be/DSrQoveMbf8

Pathetic. How did they organize the Tiananmen square protests without those shiny Huawei phones? This demonstrates an insecurity of the regime.

Tumblr's second wind. They seem to be on the right track.

What an opportunity for her to make a sequel to "Citizenfour". Something like "Russian Citizenfour". Lots of opportunities to reflect on how Ed took her for a ride with his BS and now serving Putin. In "Risk" she implies that something is not like it seems with Julian BTW. New generations should be accustomed with a concept of a useful idiot. It is not strictly an old Comintern/USSR tactic.

Why Elon insists on actually running a company? He should hire competent people and stick to PR/bullshit thing. It works wonders in his other ventures, mostly. And no, competent doesn't mean Kimbal.

Also RISC OS

.su is unmatched

Reminds me of Houellebecq: "A writer needs to walk," said Houellebecq [...] "Trying to write if you have no possibility of walking for a few hours at a brisk pace is extremely unadvisable. [...] The accumulated nervous tension of thoughts and images (conjured at the writing table) will not dissolve and continue to turn in the poor head of the author, who becomes rapidly irritable if not mad."

>Modern scholars believe

Believe indeed. The origins are murky and it is not clear who was first in formulating the variant on which the modern Cyrillic script based. The script of Upir Оfeigr is surprisingly close to what in use today. There is an ongoing discussion to what exactly he refers as the Cyrillic original (most think that he rewrote from the Glagolitic original).

A huge centralized platform is also a godsend for bad actors. You can game it and use large network effects for nefarious purposes. Also, risks (as with Musk's 8$ badges fiasco) are scaled too.

This issue was non existent before Feb 24 but now becomes really relevant. The Cyrillic script has weird origins (the first known chronicler in it was some Novgorod priest Upir Оfeigr; his first name sounds like "vampire"). The official story about Cyril and Methodius is an example of empire propaganda. Their Glagolitic alphabet has no relation to Cyrillic. So, no real value to keep the Cyrillic script other than imperialist sphere of influence considerations. Even the Serbs switched.

I think that a Latin variant of Ukrainian language must avoid diacritics. They are completely foreign and will annoy people which hurdles future wide adoption. I like a variant called Farbetka [1]. It is close to something I would like to see being widely used.

The Mandate of Heaven as a concept expired long ago. Only DPRK uses it for legitimacy rn.

Yes, bottom up. Risks are localised. It may work very well for local judges and regulatory bodies.

It may work in local elections but nation wide elections require the popular mandate. Humans like to believe that they have a stake in the system, however small.

Well, we can add to the rules of safe investing: never invest in a business which run as a polycule.

Thank you.
