If you're living in a teepee and there's a fire, you just run for it and don't worry about your stuff. Modern cities are rather more complex to rebuild.
California is pretty aggressive about doing controlled burns. The problem is there's normally about 8 inches of rain there by this time in the rainy season, and this year there's less than half an inch. And that's the new normal in recent years thanks to climate change.
That, and it wasn't a particularly safe place to build a town in the first place (a ridge between 2 canyons surrounded by forest, so that fire traveling uphill always gets funneled into town). Climate change takes it from not particularly safe to downright suicidal.
Oddly enough, the kilogram is considered the base unit of mass -- not the gram. It's the only such metric unit. There's a standard kilogram, there is no standard gram.
To be fair, a lot of the reason the focus is on "western=bad" is that the westerners generally had the greater power. People are more interested in condemning Hitler than in condemning a terminally ill homeless amputee with the same views and goals as Hitler.
Why would you assume the aliens will be any less brutal than the 16th century European explorers?
Because explorers were brutal for profit. Given the physical limits of our universe (like the speed of light in a vacuum), there's no conceivable profit motive for crossing interstellar distances to exploit Earth out of all planets.
They don't commit suicide when their mundane task is automated, they jump when their mundane task isn't automated and they have to work 12 hour days at unpleasant tasks.
Politeness has a bigger impact on the number of quality kernel contributors than the others, because it factors into a lot more messages. A polite response to an ignorant person leaves open a possibility (even if it's say 20% chance) of said person becoming more educated and making a better contribution in the future. Extremely rude responses almost inevitably mean the person never contributes to the project again in their life, even if they made the mistake as a teenager.
Linus' politeness isn't a legal or social justice issue, it's an issue of trying not to lose future valuable contributions. Even a more polite lifetime blacklisting (while unnecessary when a few years would suffice) would increase the chances of the contributor participating in other open source projects.
The summary says RHEL depreciated KDE, but doesn't say that Fedora depreciated KDE (despite confusingly mentioning Fedora). So it seems likely Fedora will continue with KDE, official Red Hat support not being an issue since there is none anyway.
Buying tons of desert with no water access, two nuclear bomb shelters and a mountain fortress is just being bat-shit crazy. But sure, I give him credit for being more interesting about it than a millionaire who converts his wealth to pennies and buries it under hundreds of mattresses.
Exits signs in California are numbered, don't know about the rest of the country. If it matches what you're seeing on the sign, the number can be useful because it tells you how many more exits you'll pass before the one you want. Obviously saying both name and number would be best.
When you're launching ~10,000 cheap satellites over the coming years you need a different mindset than the people who work on traditional satellite deployments. If there's a problem with the first hundred satellites it's really no big deal.
If the goal is to eliminate homelessness and extreme poverty, a UBI should be set equal to current SSI disability incomes. I believe that's around $800 a month, which is enough to live in less expensive cities with roommates. Because many homeless are incapable of responsibly managing money (often due to mental illness or addiction), it'll also be necessary to have a dual system where when someone is found living on the streets a social worker can arrange for most of their UBI to be redirected to appropriate housing and food on their behalf.
Interesting, but a return means it has to slow down again in our solar system which is a couple of stars short of the requirements. And the 4.6% of C limit means we're looking at a nearly 200 year round trip, which is a lot harder to secure funding for than a 50 year trip some people will actually live to see the results of.
Nobody has any theory for how to make an interstellar probe return. Any solar sail that can manage to keep accelerating long enough to get up to an appreciable fraction of the speed of light will have no prayer at stopping, because solar sails only work within star systems and it'll be going so fast it'll pass through the star system in far, far less time than it spent accelerating in ours. You need an equal amount of time in the same energy conditions to decelerate as you had to accelerate.
There's nothing wrong with maintaining relations with any country. What's wrong is being their arms dealer, military trainer, UN proxy vote, and being silent or backing them up on every atrocity they commit.
(As Canada demonstrated, speaking up honestly may cause the Saudis to unilaterally break relations -- but that's their choice.)
The writers of exaggerated unrealistic headlines that make everything sound like it'll change the world tomorrow are not idiots. They're paid to do exactly what they do, just like the "one weird trick" writers.

Fraud is not an appropriate way to fight.

And that's why the cameras are concealed: so that the city/county/state doesn't notice them.
Parallel construction solves the problem for the DEA bringing a case to court. The ICE doesn't even need to worry about that.

Don't think he really cares about his image, as long as he gets his payoff.

Alas, with SpaceX's 80 hour work weeks nobody ever actually leaves.

Now instead of sending assassins to shoot nuclear physics professors maybe we can remotely hijack university elevators to drop them to their deaths.

Just NIMBYs. They're everywhere, and all across the political spectrum, and unfortunately they have lawyers.
