How much more expensive is it to throw Cygnus after Cygnus at the Moon, rather than just to the ISS? The capital cost to build the colony is breathtaking, but the maintenance cost might be tolerable.
With the network going to LTE the distinction between wireline and non-wireline networks is dissipating. CDMA/GSM are not significant characteristics for the future.
And to continue the meme of using FB as your resume...
Sanitize it. like the real resume you wrote. No unnecessary dates, especially education and distant experience. Ignore your high school graduation, nothing gained there. If you graduated from college, the HS is assumed, and if you see a job for which a HS diploma is required, well, you're going to be fine with other experience - trust me, if a HS diploma is a qualification, you're using FB for its intended purpose. that wasn't really the job you wanted anyways.
Various psychological conditions are suspected of being hereditary. And there is no more dangerous condition than to be diagnosed with one that renders you incapable of being a mentally functional human being. For that, they can take your liberty for your lifetime. Without question. And never permit you to be cured.
My dog has experienced a total loss of nasal turbinates, cause unknown, he is a rescue. Subsequent to this he was diagnosed with nasal angiofibromas, benign, but ultimately destructive of the nasal cavity and probably will end with infiltration of the cranial cavity and euthanasia.
Now the oncologist would very much like us to pursue treatment, focused radiation, and then monitor for recurrence, primarily because there is very little known about these conditions. Few dogs receive documented treatment, and so the vet industry doesn't really know how the treatments work, outcomes are indeterminate, and such.
All they want is for us to pay $8,000+ for treatment, with neither any assurance of success, nor any prognosis, and certainly no assurance that a relapse or recurrence won't come, and soon.
And he's the most lovely dog, but I would not pay this for a car repair with similar conditions - *might* fix it, far exceeds objective value, might happen again.
It seems as if this canine oncology practice would love for us to pay to advance the current understanding of this condition. But we were close to asking, if it's so interesting to them, could they perhaps discount the treatment? But nothing about the appointment led us to believe this was anything but a business decision. We've decided no.
We decided to not make our dog the test case. He's probably going to have a shortened but happy life, and we will not let him suffer unnecessarily, which is, to say, very little. He could have been put down in the shelter, so this is a win, and he's such a lovely dog.
While the lure of CRISPR therapy is undeniable, the risks are substantial. The FDA has good reason to demand substantial safeguards, information, and explanations. Look at some of the recent revelations regarding lab tests (Theranos), multiple drug trials ending in failure, fabricated results, etc. Gosh, it seems as if you can't readily trust the industry in general.
This will bump into the 'right to try' movement, but I'm inclined to accept the FDA's reluctance as reasonable. This is a big deal, not as simple as trying it to 'see what happens'. No, it is not.
You could just cancel your subscription like I did. Or go on ranting about Apple fanbois and Winblows, just like all the other cave dwellers that haven't progressed past dialup BBSs, ASCII pr0n, and FIDO.
Summits are held to celebrate and codify agreements made in advance, though sometimes these are general agreements, and the specifics are hammered out with staff while the principals posture and reassure each other that the deal can be done.
It does't seem much different than business negotiations, does it? And it should not.
"He likes his steak well done with ketchup. He only eats fast food because otherwise he'd never have a meal that hadn't been spit in."
Cognitive Dissonance*. Is it fast food or steak? Or does he have a fast steak option I wish I had?
Full disclosure, I use A-1 Steak Sauce on most of my steaks, not the carne asada. It's essentially fancy, well spiced ketchup. SO you've caught me out, just another Trump apologist troll. Gah, I hate that.
(* - actually just trolling, but it;s way more fun to use philosophical dog whistles to seem smarter or cleverer than I am, and to give the professional trolls something to demonstrate their trolliness to full effect, and they LOVE being all trolly and clever. I'm just serving them a flat pitch for their pleasssure...)

You don't know much about Venus do you? It's really hard to explore. Nasty envrionment.
No, but you could figure that out if you cared to.

Of course we choose partners. Wisely.
My phones use T-Mobile service, and get Caller ID and the new 'Scam Likely' identifier. Landlines and VOIP are so passé.
This is as ugly as the toll-free COCOT scams of the 90s. Is there no escape?
I saw it, and I was entertained.
To what, search warrants?
Sprint killed off iDEN without a tear.

But how many employees are needed...?
Damn, my beard has been snow white for more than a decade now. More than two. No wonder I get hired.

"You might be onto something;"
That's what she said.
Well, to be fair, using an unsecured phone to tweet with is, well, not a big deal.
You know the Twitter is public, right?
But, but where would muh cliks come from?

OK, this is weird, but bear with me.

Leftists: rewriting history, government overreach, court packing and legislation from the bench, neutering Congress.
Maine had no luck suing Ohio etc for burning coal and sending acid rain over on the weekends.
Rotsa ruck fools.

Classic negotiating tactic. Indeed, classic diplomacy.

Sorry you think Twitter is somehow a bastion of free speech, and that it should be.
So, you work for Facebook, right?
Bingo.
