I used the kiosk face scanner one time. The problem was that the camera was positioned at the top of the kiosk so you had to look up, but the button to take the picture was at the bottom. It was almost impossible to take a good picture that way.
$1240 in low earth orbit (at current Falcon 9 launch prices).
Ironically, the higher the launch price, the less attractive a Moon base becomes. Simply because the cost of establishing the lunar colony also goes up with launch price (and since the Moon requires more delta-v, relative cost goes up even more).
The problem is that in order for the first shipment of water or fuel from the Moon, you first need to bring a huge amount of mass on the Moon in the form of equipment and supplies, plus deal with huge ongoing maintenance cost. It's not going to be worth it. Especially if we have fully reusable rockets, it will become quite affordable to launch a load of fuel from Earth. And we don't actually have much need for fuel anyway.
Also the dust. Due to lack of erosion, Moon dust consists of highly abrasive razor sharp pieces that get into every little space, and quickly damage pretty much everything that it comes into contact with, like door seals. To make things worse, it's all statically charged, so it clings to everything. Imaging coming back from a windy day on the beach, but then 1000 times worse.
However, they never seemed to enjoy geeking out or talking about things that weren't going to be on the test.
To see a clear demonstration, check out youtube videos on electronics/metal/woodworking vs videos on arts & crafts. There's a clear gender division, even though there's an extremely low barrier to stream a hobby video.
And the beginning of the beginning of a new AI winter?
On the contrary. Finding problems where the AI is doing almost as expected but then making a mistake in a certain category is exactly what researchers need to improve their systems. Like in any system, being able to reproduce a bug is the first step towards finding a better solution. And if finding a solution for this particular problem is too hard right now, there are plenty of simpler problems to work on in the mean time, and we can come back to this one when knowledge has improved and hardware is faster.
The difference between now and the last "AI winter" is that current AI is profitable. That means there's money coming in to pay researchers to fix the bugs and make even more profits.
It not only sucks up CO2, it convert it to hype and fully charged buzzwords. And don't forget that multiple cells can be linked in a self-driving IoT blockchain.
During WW2, the Ministry of Defence searched everywhere for cryptogramists (experts in code breaking), but accidentally hired a cryptogamist (expert in algae and other spore-distributing plants), Geoffrey Tandy, whose expertise turned out to be useful in restoring a water logged codebook.
The plume has been there forever. The melting accelerated recently. The EXTRA melting was therefore not caused by the plume, even if it affects total melting.
For everyone who truly believes in human induced global warming...what is stopping you from uniting and working together to solve the problem?
I don't think we can stop it, and I'll be dead before the worse hits us, so I don't really give a hoot either way. I just love making fun of scientific illiterates.

All it asks is that people not drive others away from the project by being hateful
Suppose you want to drive people away who can't write code worth shit, how would you do that in a nice way ?
I think "Don't be a massive dick to anyone else" is probably sufficient as far as code of conduct goes.
I recommend a small update: Don't be a massive dick to anybody who doesn't deserve it.
3. If someone tells you to stop being an asshole, stop being an asshole
Just because someone says you're an asshole, doesn't mean that you are.
They aren't angry, they are offended

We have no need for He3 in the foreseeable future.
Please provide the calculation you've used to substantiate "It's not going to be worth it".
I'm not the one proposing we spend trillions on a project to get water from the Moon. Why don't you show your calculations ?
We simply cannot know this.
The logical conclusion is to keep launching stuff from Earth until someone makes a solid business case to launch it from the Moon instead.
If you're doing it for spin-off, why not do something useful at the same time ? Get rid of excess CO2 and build a working fusion plant, for example.

Let's first measure how big this bias is. Hint: you cannot measure bias by looking at number of men/women getting a STEM job.
I think you meant "highly abstracted, non-representational image of an elephant".
No, I meant "cigar" but I didn't want to spoil it right away.
Many humans can't see the "elephant" hiding in this wall.

I read that US school teachers are buying supplies with their own money. That's just crazy.

If you're going to put an antenna on a roof, there's nothing wrong with a conventional one.
I'm guessing this technique is most useful for portable devices, where every penny counts. Spray the antenna on the inside of the plastic case.
It not only sucks up CO2, it convert it to hype and fully charged buzzwords. And don't forget that multiple cells can be linked in a self-driving IoT blockchain.
Plastic will remove itself soon after we stop adding to it.
So the scientists in the quoted story have it wrong and YOU know better?
No, I'm in full agreement with the scientists. You're the only one who doesn't understand.

A 3 inch monolith, perhaps.
No I did not miss this. You missed my point.
The plume has been there forever. The melting accelerated recently. The EXTRA melting was therefore not caused by the plume, even if it affects total melting.
