You forgot the Lorenz factor. The Falcon flies FTL. That’s where the midichlorians fit in.

I had that sweatshirt, desk, bookshelf, PC case, and ceiling light. I didn’t have the gun or I’d be freaking out.
- Comment on Duval holding cue card for Brando who can't remember his lines. 2 weeks ago:
He didn’t treat acting seriously because he knew it was people playing pretend and he was in it for the money, not the fame.
In real life he got a Native American Activist to accept his Oscar for him and make a speech abput Wounded Knee.

Disney has for gatekeeping media,
Disney hired real artists. Their artists did such amazing work that everyone copied Disney which caused the gatekeeping. Nothing stopped artist from not copying Disney to create their own works like Pixar before they were bought by Disney. AI art comes from training on existing art. So its not expanding culture to cut and paste existing art. It’s a great time saver for home users to create art that is out of their ability. But its not a substitute for real artists.
The cab company alternative was a taxi, which was a government granted monopoly known for having extortionate prices.
Which existed because to prevent congestion, accountability against criminal acts, and maintained an employee/employer relationship. Despite its drawbacks, employees have more rights than gig economy workers.
I guess what’s next is an app Airplane company that ignores all regulations and lands on parking lots because it will be cheaper than following the laws. So what if a few people die if tens of thousands save money and have more convenience.
Using a public ledger that can be tied directly to a person
Its far more easy to trace money in a bank account or made through a credit card than crypto. In most cases crypto is completely untraceable until turned into real money that’s deposited into a bank.

I don’t understand any of the references in this comic. It’s SpongeBob, Hank and Bobby but other than that I’m lost.
Why are SpongeBob and Hank at a convention? What’s that Stargate looking device behind Bobby?

- Comment on Steam Hardware: Launch timing and other FAQs - Steam News 3 weeks ago:
I doubt it will matter much. Like GPUs, prices during the crunch doubled. After the crunch prices went down ~20%. Everyone cheered that the shortage was over. No one seemed to notice that everyone was still paying 1.8X more.
So ram is up like 4x. After the shortage prices will drop 25%. People will be paying 3x for ram and think everything is great.
- Comment on If a Space Elevator became a reality, wouldn't the cable act as a kind of wick for all of the unfiltered radiation from outside our atmosphere? 1 month ago:
Ada answered the question, but consider your question.
You said “leaving a spaceship with no suit”. If your idea is that something left in space becomes dangerously radioactive then any space station or space ship would itself become dangerously radioactive.
So the answer is, no, things in space don’t become dangerously radioactive. Also things in contact with radioactive substances don’t themselves become radioactive except under extremely specific circumstances. Your house didn’t become dangerously radioactive because of the radioactive americium-241 in the smoke detectors.

- Comment on 7 reasons I chose Btrfs over ZFS for my home NAS 1 month ago:
doesn’t ZFS have RAIDZ expansion now
He didn’t claim it didn’t.
“Even basic tasks like adding drives and changing pool size take a bit of tinkering.”
His claim is it is harder to do.

- Comment on We wouldn't listen, anyway. 2 months ago:
The argument that apes have never asked a question “is a classic example of overstatement,” said Heidi Lyn, a professor at the University of South Alabama’s Comparative Cognition and Communication Lab at the Department of Psychology and Marine Science.
“There is plenty of evidence of apes asking questions, although the structure may not look exactly like humans asking questions,” Lyn explained.

Modern wine growers use astrology to plant?
I would think that’s a tiny subset of the producers.

Gladiators were not soldiers. Some were the equivalent of American Wrestling stars.

- Comment on WHO STOLE MY FUCKING BARS? 2 months ago:
What happens to the guy that was driving it? Does he just blink out of existence when the car shuts off?
The car is the car. I didn’t mention a person. I didn’t state that it is being driven.
I asked if you believe the car is still running after being disassembled because anything is possible.
- Comment on WHO STOLE MY FUCKING BARS? 2 months ago:
I don’t agree that the cessation of brain activity necessarily means the end of the subjective experience.
What happens to a car when you turn off the engine and then disassemble the parts? Is the car still running? You believe in infinite possibilities so the chance of it not running is tiny?

Did they fix the hinge problem? I read last year there was bad quality control.
- Comment on How pixel art looked completely different on CRT monitors 2 months ago:
I’ve been playing 90’s Nintendo games like Chrono Trigger because I was too busy in the 90’s to do anything other than PC gaming. Now I feel like I’m still missing out because I’m playing them on my collection of retro Handhelds like Retroid, Anbernic and Miyoo Mini all of which are LCD and don’t have the horsepower to do full crt emulation.
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 2 months ago:
It isn’t a scam. It is an asset like buying land in the middle of nowhere. It will in general match inflation but underperform most other investments. In the very long term I would expect that with global population stabilizing and declining, the value of gold will also stabilize and decline.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s Optimus Robot shuts down after reproducing the gesture of its human operator removing their headset 2 months ago:
To make you feel better, this was the remote operator, that makes the robot appear autonomous, removing their headset before handing control off to someone else to keep the lie going.
