  1. Re:Who murders more of its own? on Silicon Valley's Saudi Arabia Problem (nytimes.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    We are neither medieval or a theocracy.

    If you aren't, it's not for a lack of desire by certain influential portions of the population.

    Juries are easily swayed by expensive lawyers.

    Perhaps even more frequently by crooked prosecutors?

    Maybe that has something to do with the fact that technical roles very often do not stress your education most of the time?

    Yes, as a European, I must say I was shocked at what things are possible to do with just a bachelor's degree in the US, but apparently you can even enter a PhD program with just a BS. Weird but true.

  8. That's what I meant!

    All the rockets in the competition are largely "concept art" now. So what?

  10. Re:Come on - that is not Ninja (or parkour) on Boston Dynamics' Robot Went From a Drunk Baby To a Nimble Ninja in a Matter of Years (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    While this is technically impressive, it's a long way from Ninja or parkour. It didn't jump ON the log and balance - just over. Nor did it do anything complex like jump against the side of one of the boxes and land flat, maybe after rolling... you didn't even see it jump down from the highest box and do a roll landing on the floor. So basically, not at all what anyone would call parkour...

    It also didn't flip out and kill people, so there's that.

  11. It's more reasonable to simply give extra fuel to the one satellite. For maneuvering satellites, this increases their useful lifetime.

    We haven't ever seen a cargo-only upper stage for the BFR

    You mean something like this?

    I don't hire a 38-tonne 18-wheeler to move some furniture, I'd hire a box van instead.

    A great argument against launching DoD stuff on the Sea Dragon!

    when the DoD's payloads top out at 24 tonnes, a fuelled-up spy NRO satellite basically.

    All you have to do is to ask yourself *why* does a fuelled-up spy NRO satellite top out at 24 tonnes.

    So, no results like this one?

    Lots of cheap machines come with only 32 GB of storage because they get cheaper Windows licenses this way.

    Intelligence to an extent trumps allergies and type 1 diabetes, though. If you have intelligence, like modern humans do, you can learn to avoid allergens and invent insulin pumps.
