    Gravity isn't a problem if you can construct infrastructure in place before the astronauts arrive. And like you said, we don't know if mildly low gravity causes similar issues to zero gravity. If it does you can mount a portion of your colony on a train running over an inclined circular track or on a pivoting boom arm, and you can amplify the felt force of gravity.

    Probably the same reason we don't have unsigned types even though some parts of the image processing libraries don't work properly with signed types. It was originally planned with a comment noting that it will be implemented when they get the time. A decade later and whats his name is defending the non-inclusion of unsigned types as a way to prevent confusion among developers.

    Do those even exist?

    A lot of sites do rely on hover metaclass or javascript mousover for their navigation menu's and other features. These absolutely do not work at all on an iPad or Android tablet where there is no concept of a pointer.

    Yes a laptop is better at web browsing for any site that makes use of the hover metaclass or uses javascript mouseover events.

    I didn't quit CS, I started doing work for the military industrial complex. It is 90% the same stuff you would do for any other business: human resources, inventory management, analytic and reporting systems, etc.

    hydro is one of the most environmentally destructive forms of power, with burning forests being worse. It utterly devastates river ecology, floods vast tracts of otherwise useful and fertile land and is currently leading to the extinction of most of the planets major migratory fresh water fish.

    Biofuel is one of the most socially destructive forms of power. Just to replace the US motor vehicle transportation costs, you would need to sacrifice nearly 100% of our food producing farmland. Note that the US provides roughly 1/3 of the worlds food supply. This is also not sustainable because of aquifer depletion.

    wind is unreliable with bursts capable of damaging power transmission and occasional lulls that cover vast regions at a time.

    Conservation is at best a tiny sliver of the issue. 85% of the world is striving to match our standard of living, no amount of conservation by the 15% or so with western standards of living will make up for that growth when it comes.

    Nuclear and solar power are our only real options moving forward.
