per OP, signal reached T.C. in 1998
T.C. is ~12 ly away
if they responded that year we’d have got the message in 1998 + 12 = 2010
that was 15 years ago - Comment on "Nevertheless, the vaginal sounds that were sent will have reached Epsilon Eridani in 1996 and Tau Ceti in 1998. It is unclear what sort of reply we should expect." 1 week ago:
If you’re thinking of the “Wow” signal, it turned out to be a magnetar

Tau Ceti is only 12 ly away
So they’re like 15 years late replying to the pussy call. Either they are too old and slow or they have so much already they’re just too busy

I live in a forest. There is mouse poop in my basement and probably always will be despite cats and traps. The mosquitoes often make being outside impossible. Going out to dinner is a minimum 30 minutes drive to a small town

- Comment on I AM BETTER 4 weeks ago:
There’s a Sean Carrol video somewhere talking about how the average graduate student in physics understands Relativity far better than Einstein did, and it’s because lots of people with lots of different specialties and insights have thought really long and hard about it and come up with deeper, more elegant ways to describe it.

I try to bear Old Isaac in mind when I meet arrogant and unpleasant but intelligent teens.
It’s very easy as an adult to be very annoyed by them, short with them, and/or to feel an obligation in some way to “socialize them better”
But you don’t know which of them have an insight in their brain that unlocks the proverbial Warp Drive.

Yet people put lithium batteries on their lap right next to their genetalia and on top of a blanket that covers up the laptop’s hot air exhaust
I have reasons to pass by this invention but exploding off my finger is not the primary concern

It’s the very best of Clarke’s work: when he lets a good writer do the storytelling, and sticks himself to figuring out the logical conclusion of new technology

One of the plot points is that in response to panopticon-style surveillance, an underground counterculture emerges of people who become invisible – hiding under camo, blankets, etc. And never speaking; only using sign language directly touching another person’s hands to keep communication private. - Comment on ‘Death to Spotify’: the DIY movement to get artists and fans to quit the music app 5 weeks ago:
If it were just a tip jar feature that would be one thing but it’s kind of a lot of things.
It does what it says on the tin and I love having a shared library online for streaming with apps that support local cache download. - Comment on ‘Death to Spotify’: the DIY movement to get artists and fans to quit the music app 5 weeks ago:

I was being a bit loose. You can video record people in public -- just not audio. Any audio on your video recording device makes it illegal.

Where I live, recording someone without their consent -- even in public -- is a crime.
I have personally argued both sides on this. Over time I have come to favor it.
