I didn't realize they setup mines on the Moon and mined stuff and shipped it back. Good to know! I thought they were just guys picking up moon rocks on the surface.
My mistake. I didn't realize that Apollo 11 though Apollo 17 (sans Apollo 13) setup mines and mined stuff and sent it back to Earth. Good to know it is possible.
I see. But I am sure it is possible though to setup a mine on another planet and ship stuff back to Earth. If you can think it, you can do it. After all, my iPhone has more processing power than all the computers of the 1940s.
So the reason we visit asteroids isn't for scientific purposes, but to determine their viability to use as locations for mining operations? I didn't know that!
It seems more effective to simply have a corporation move into the neighboring country and mine the resources and ship them back. Because that is what happens now.
I never understood when people say things like "mining off-planet". How can you mine something on another planet and ship it back to Earth? What makes you think this is possible (sci-fi doesn't count)?
Google didn't want to do that, but they had to because they don't make enough money. They also didn't want to sell your data to anyone and everyone, but they need the money.
Sure it will. After all think of the children/terrorists/copyright holders. Computing is more walled off than ever before. It is only a matter of time before only approved devices and software are allowed on the Internet. This already happens with the vast majority of mobile traffic.
CNNs front page is completely full of "divisive social issues". Is that where they detected it? I don't even visit Fox News, but it probably is the same.
Companies hate reselling tickets because it blows holes in the demand/price relationship. You can see that for some events the tickets are priced much too high. For instance baseball tickets when resold can go for as low as $5 (or aren't sold at all), because the demand really isn't there.
I did too. I would have to skip meals at the end of the week until I got my (small) paycheck. So this isn't something that suddenly happened. Some kids come from wealthier backgrounds and didn't have this problem. It wasn't fair. That is life.

Nah. I am just glad it is possible to do off-world mining. You guys are so certain!

I didn't realize that we had the technology to setup a mine on another planet and ship it back to Earth. Good to know we are so advanced!
You are right. It is technologically possible to convert lead to gold.

I don't know. So why don't we have a mine on the Moon? Let me know.
We set up a mine on the moon and brought mined materials back to Earth? I didn't know that. Good to know. Carry on.
He does have a point. Millenials are pretty useless.
What makes you think it is possible? Have we ever set up a mine and then mined anything on another planet and sent it back to Earth?

An increase of 0.87% with a error range of +- 20%. I love statistics.
What do you think of Microsoft buying Github for $7.5B? Makes the Youtube purchase look like genius.
It is simply called Corporatism.

Eventually BitTorrent will not be routable on the Internet. Don't think it will happen?
A better solution is to use Amazon Glacier for backups. $0.004 per gigabyte per month.
Amazing. A company says their products are good. Very insightful article.
Exactly. The word "troll" has become meaningless. Basically it means "I don't agree with you and want to shut you up".
