It does seem like they are calling a lack of stuff in one direction a pushing or repelling force. By that thinking, our sky is a "pushing force" also because there is very little stuff there (nearby) compared to the ground (Earth).
"Dark Nothing"?
Dark matter, dark energy, dark gravity, I suspect there is dark bullshit going on; the Aether(s) of our time. Now they are using it for nothingness too.
GIF playback speed is inconsistent between browser brands and PC's in experience.
I suspect it's because although time between frames is standardized in the GIF standard, the frame render time adds additional implementation and hardware specific time gaps that are either not accounted for, or compensated for differently in diff browsers.
For example, in normal video playback, if the rendering can't keep up with the stated frame rate due to slow hardware or taxed CPU, frames may be partially or fully dropped to keep the average timing proper. Animated GIF's don't seem to do this; they just run slow.
I just want to make clear here and now that I do not want to live in case I should ever by completely paralyzed.
But there's always the possibility remote sensing will soon allow you to cruise around in a robot body, visit trade shows, and grab p.... uh, packet analyzers.
Being paralyzed itself is not what scares me; it's being bored if I cannot interact with anyone or read books or rant about stupid web GUI (non) standards on slashdot, etc. The interaction being remote is good enough. After all, my mom's basement wasn't so bad.
"Popularized" articles on space do illustrate many of the problems with "news" in general: it's sloppy and sensationalized. Often bias itself is not directly the problem. The publisher wants to maximize readership using exaggeration and impressions of extreme acts or motivations to get reader attention; and spend diddly squat on research, experts, vetting, citations, footnotes, etc. to save a buck.
"While hurtling toward its gruesome death-by-crushing from the giant menacing ringed planet, the doomed Cassini probe captures the final and most detailed captivating shots of the rings ever seen by any human being, thanks to NASA's Ultimate Bucket List!"
That's why we go with head-hunters, they (hopefully) do the slimy braggadocios sales for you so that you don't have to wade in the swamp: your own personal Trump.
There is an experience shortage; all co's want more experience, but importing workers only increases the experience shortage for citizens. A billion hours of school cannot replace experience.
I once worked a gig where the contract was coming to an end and the manager told me how much the agency charged them for my time. I told them how much I myself got: it was around 1/4 the agency fee. We stood staring at each other in mutual dumfoundedness.
Nerds are crappy at marketing analysis. That's not news. Marketers have to know how people work, and pretty much ignore logic, math, efficiency, and parsimony because customers ignore those.
Slashdot Mirror
There is NO formal agreed-upon definition of AI and experts, philosophers, and pundits argue forever and ever over it. Givvittup.
Trump actually prayed for better ratings for a show his trust owns at a national prayer breakfast. He out-Onioned the Onion.

Dark Fad.

No! It's right there in pop-up #73 of "Sarah Palin's Illustrated Geography".
practical mass flying cars and general-purpose maid robots (Rosie-style)?
Which do you think will be first, and why?
You get a Dweeb Card.
You're doin' it wrong. Laser-beams and a rubber shark-head
You ain't no Dr. Seuss.

Me: "Yes, but those are Microsoft robots. You'll need me again."
Me: "Boss, I'd like raise."
Boss: "Sorry, no budget this year."
Me: "My robotic friend back here wants a word with you..."
[*Lunge!*]
Boss: "Aaahhh! OK, OK! you gottit! Now get that thing outta here!"
Paralyzed people use Lynx? You surveyed them already? (I wasn't referring to Slashdot's own UI, by the way, although now that you bring that up...
Please don't use the phrase "strongly vetted". You-know-who ruined it, now meaning, "Reject 'em if they give me heebie-jeebies".

Experimental direct-brain hookups already look promising.

Slashdot didn't use the Captain Pike keyword under the story. Dammit, I'm gonna revoke their Geek Card!

One of the few people who deserve a goat-se link
I ran it through a digital player, and it said, "All your bases are belong to a blind trust managed by my offspring."

In the land of the Blind-and-Stupid, those that are only blind or only stupid have an advantage.
Insert presidential election comparison here.
