A wholly reductionist comment that misstates my opinions. Believe it or not I think there’s an optimal space between the environmental conservatism I’m espousing and charging forward into an unregulated and environmentally destructive bliss

Yes, because the "charge forward and worry about the consequences later" mantra has proven so historically successful over the past 100 years when it comes to environmental stewardship. CFC's, HFC's, PFAS, leaded fuel, a

Aircraft use hydrocarbons which require similarly intensive chemical processes to create the fuels from the same constituent ingredients as the Sabatier reaction.

I agree space is cool. But why do you think the "space is cool" mantra is more important than ensuring that for the 8 billion humans that call this planet home—we have somewhere sustainable and safe to live? Your asteroid mining f

Why isn't SpaceX doing that then? Why isn't any airline doing that then? Oh look, it's cheaper to use refined natural gas from a well. That's why. In the absence of either properly priced externalities, the market will a

Tell me why I shouldn't be concerned about thousands of starships launching from Earth and emitting multiple megatons of Carbon Dioxide in the fragile upper atmosphere? Some studies indicate emissions here are significantly more impact

Hi there. Where did you purchase those from?

And botulinum toxin only needs to exist in microscopic quantities to cause injury and death—would you eat a jar contaminated with it?

Satellites are significantly more metal-rich than meteors—also it's clear with Starship and multiple large (10,000+) satellite constellations that the total deorbited mass annually is only going to grow.

You sound exactly like the type who would defend ULA and other rocketry incumbents when SpaceX was a tiny startup. Why are we so intent on dismissing the little players here?

The OP nor the study made no indication that the two were related — merely that they correlate.

Possibly inadvisable, but you can disable SIP in High Sierra by using `csrutil` from the recovery OS (kind of moot, admittedly, as you'll need to be in recovery to trash the files that the author has mentioned, but you can at least mak

There's two JS libraries using the term "ristretto", we've all heard of mocha. "espresso" seems to be a disused node.js tooling library, similarly, "flat white" is a disused CMS, "latte" is

Is there a possibility this could fall afoul of antitrust laws or be deemed monopolistic behaviour? What are the legal considerations here?

Presumably you live either up Kapiti Coast or Upper Hutt/Wairarapa? The latter has tables which make things much easier.

Agreed. This plus a number of plugins disappearing in FF57 with the new WebExtensions have forced me to switch to Safari. On the plus side now, I get my tabs across all my devices.

I'm in a similar position to yourself here. Would love to apply as I think working on something essentially similar to a space program would be incredible, but as someone who values days off and a work-life balance, I cannot commit to

It's an interesting conundrum. One could argue this is a precedent. Then it becomes a question of "for what levels of severity do they patch vulnerability for?".

Because we want an energy source that can be operational tomorrow, not one that will be operational 20 years from now.

What's the general consensus on Angular 2? I've built a few apps with it, and generally like it, although it's quite opinionated. Most of the time I've seen something Angular-related appear on HN, there's generally

Many great companies are started overseas. Many great companies are also started in America. To suggest there is a correlation between startup success rate and at will employment would require, by golly, empirical data. Do you have any on h
