    Yea, why didn't I think of this switching to a competitor idea? I have Comcast but there is a second competitor here, xfinity. I'll call up Comcast and tell them they better straighten up or I'm going to switch.

    Forgot to add that this fracturing would cause an explosion. Take a steel brick and hold a lighter under it, nothing happens. Create a dust and properly disperse it in the air and you can get a sizable explosion, this was a real problem for storing things like flour. So if it were to suddenly break up into small enough pieces it would react orders of magnitude faster with the atmosphere.

    Have you ever used a pressure washer? I own a mid grade entry level one with 3500 psi. You have to be very careful not to spray too hard into a crack or it will rip whatever it is apart. 3500 might not sound like a lot, but square area is deceptive. Say 300 psi gets into the crack, but the crack is 6 inches deep and 12 inches wide that's 21,600 lbs pushing on each side. But it gets worse, the stress has to flow from one side to the other of the crack, around the propagating crack tip. The sides of the crack act as a lever to concentrate the force many times higher if the crack tip is sharp and enough force is used to slightly bend the material. It's similar to fracking, the pressure may be moderate to high but the surface area is very large and it creates a super large force through several different effects that is capable of breaking rock.

    Definitely. I love subscriptions and am looking forward to the competitive monthly price of breathing air on Ganymede. I have to work for free for 2 years to pay off the voyage costs, but hey that's not bad for getting to a new world.

    Exactly. And when we have cheap, reliable, weak AI in a humanoid form, nearly all human jobs will be automated away with no recourse available. The robots will learn new tasks faster than any human can, and humans will be obsolete in everything from phone assembly, to engineers, to harvesting fragile crops, to sex workers. The part that has the 0.001% so glassy eyed is you won't need those plebs or even a contemporary economy to keep going and amass far more wealth than exists today.

  10. There was never even a need to do more than have a period for public comments. A lot of the spam is from adversarial interests against the general American population, such as ISPs, Russia, etc. I've seen all the recent interviews with Ajit, the guy looks like a sociopath just dribbling brain diarrhea hoping to muddy the waters just enough to flee with the illicit billions about to be reaped from America. The man has stone cold glee in his eyes, there was never a sideways fart given about non legal tender arguments. The real damage, though, is the anti-competitive, anti-trust no consumer protection, content and provider monopolies, and freedom to censor anything nonsense that is likely to follow. It won't end until they are held accountable, so at this rate never.

  11. Took two weeks to sour on and remove the camera? Because the way we are headed it will take twice as long with the 2027 camera in our new smart underwear.

Yea, my social media startup I've sunk everything into needs an emergency investment round to buy this new fast lane access we will need to survive, but with some good hype my dillution won't be too bad. Fuck it though, we really stuck it to those snowflake libtards, I'm so happy with this win. /s

  20. This is just evidence that the billions of dollars to be made by doing nothing except forcing heavy-handed Internet regulations are becoming more desperate by the day.

  21. You walk around all day proudly displaying your face for all to see or record. The real problem is wanna be security idiots using biometrics for authentication instead of just a fancy user name. it should be illegal to use biometrics as the sole source to verify user identity.

  22. I completely disagree. The sensor is essentially a miniature lidar array with functionality to around 5 feet. The potential to change how we use our phones could be revolutionary ; scan favorite objects and have them appear in virtual reality environments like games, or send them to your 3-d printer. It goes far beyond turning your face into a talking poop Just implement it as an opt-in like everything else.

  23. As an American, I would also like the system to be fixed. However, unless you are a billionaire, the system isn't going to change because no one there votes for president and they just happen to be a profitable place to dispose of debt. The up side is you don't need to be an American to change it, just ludicrously rich.
