  1. Yeah, remember when the "SJWs" got that law passed that restricted what you could do in your personal life? What's that? YOU DON'T!? 8-O

    Which group is it that keeps trying to tell consenting adults who they can marry and restrict what women can do with their own bodies and wants to bring about the age of Jim Queer? That's the "SJWs" right?

  2. Le Pen had the best line of the campaign so far; France will be led by a woman — either me or Merkel.

    What the hell does that mean? Is she suggesting that Germany is going to invade France again?

    Have fun with your delusional Islamophobia though. ISIS will thank you for helping to keep their prisoners from escaping.

  3. I'm not French but I'd back it. Le Pen is already a nasty xenophobe, the daughter of a quasi-nazi, and she denies occupied France's involvement in the holocaust. Her stance of extreme Russian appeasement should raise more than a few eyebrows too.

    Soon the Americans will prove that they're just as enlightened as the Greeks by running their economy straight into the ground through idiotic tax policy.

    Reminds me of anything Andrew Orlowski (of The Register) has ever written on copyright. To him, there's nothing between copyright abolitionism and and full support for today's insane copyright laws and worse.

    The problem is capital gains taxes become a race to the bottom.

  8. Hydrogen cars on 'There's No Good Way To Kill a Bad Idea' (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    This explains why the idea of hydrogen-powered fuel cell cars won't die. The idea is objectively moronic. The car is expensive, the fuel is expensive and mostly fossil-sourced and has to be stored at high pressures and will escape through solids and embrittle steel on the way out. There are less than 40 hydrogen stations in the US. vs the uniquitous gas station and omnipresent electricity.

    Moronic. And yet more than one auto manufacturer is still working on them.

    This is a bad thing for mustache-twirling villains everywhere. They're probably yelling things like "Curses!" and "Foiled again!" and stomping on their stovepipe hats.

    Then you'll have a bunch of space launch companies with no work to do other than launching private satellites...although without regulation in space, maybe they'll also launch autonomous space fighters to attack competing satellites and defend their own. And then we'll have Kessler syndrome and the whole space launch business will shut down. And then everyone will have to buy flaming space junk insurance for their homes and cars.

    Maybe the space junk insurance industry will be bigger than the space launch industry and Trump could play that as an economic win?

    Did you read this part?

    "You bet your life that it is (a conflict)," Norman Ornstein, a political scientist at the American Enterprise Institute, said of defunding the Energy Star program. He agrees with Energy Star's contention that the ratings can affect the value of a property.

    If that isn't clear enough, no more energy star ratings = no more property value negatives to Trump's hotels being horrible energy-wasting shitboxes (one tower he owns that was finished in 2009 scored 9 out of 100!).

    Yes leftists riot, and therefore my figure of speech is invalid, and it's OK that the right are bald-faced hypocrites and Trump is a crook abusing presidential authority to enrich his businesses.

    Was thinking the same thing. Even apart from the threats of crashing into tiny specs of dust and particularly large molecules at relativistic speeds, the probe would be subject to extreme radiation throughout the journey just as a byproduct of is speed, which can't be good for the electronics.

  25. Re:Quantum entanglement on Light Sail Propulsion Could Reach Sirius Sooner Than Alpha Centauri (arxiv.org) · · Score: 1

    Nope. You need a classical communication channel just the same. The quantum channel is only capable of communicating uncontrollable random garbage.

    Quantum-encrypted communication is no more useful in space than on earth, in fact it gets more resource-intensive the longer the link distance. Because the entanglement state travels faster than light (somewhere between 10,000c and "instantaneously"), and the classical channel that actually carries information is at light speed, if you wanted a quantum-encrypted radio link in space, you'd have a store a loooong history of the stream of random noise from the entangled electron, so that when a bit arrives after travelling 40 light-years you can look up what your electron's spin state was 40 years ago to decrypt it.
