Taste like crab, talk like people.

Second most abundant doesn’t really convey how much more abundant it is compared to other elements.

About 75% of all the mass in the universe is hydrogen, about 23% is helium, 1% oxygen, and that leaves just 1% for everything else.

Making it yourself is no guarantee it will be safe, unless you know exactly what you’re doing.

Same on iOS

Bumble’s new verification feature lets users submit a picture of a government-issued ID to authenticate their identity

ID verification using a picture taken of the ID is practically worthless. It is trivial to fake.

That’s not how science is performed

Starship is not a science project. No scientific breakthroughs are made or expected. It is an engineering project. And this is exactly how that is performed.

Also, how many people crashed how many planes before the Wright brothers managed to achieve powered flight ?

You forgot Today and Tomorrow.

Well, if he wants to follow that logic: Tesla’s CEO didn’t make billions of dollars, his workers did.

The goal is not to find the guilty party, it’s to punish someone.

Canada should just shut down energy delivery to the US.

Or just raise the export tariff on electricity by 1% a day. They’ll shut if off themselves when they realize they can’t afford it at a 300% markup.

Why would you need to take your stuff home?

No, crashes in the US happen because Americans are shit drivers. They are shit drivers because you get a free driving license with box of cereal. Germany on the other hand has one of the strictest driving tests there is. A German with a driving license has had many hours of instruction from a professional instructor.

In addition, American cars are shit. Lots of poorly maintained and unsafe vehicles on the road with very lax regulation. By contrast, German cars have to pass a very comprehensive yearly safety inspection.

83 million Germans, 63% above 16

Not sure why you think this is relevant. Children aren’t allowed to drive in Germany.

How is it a retcon? The use of giga- as a prefix for 10⁹ has been in use as part of the metric system since 1960. I don’t think anyone in the fledgeling computer industry was talking about giga- or mega- anything at that time. The use of mega- as a prefix for 10⁶ has been in use since 1873, over 60 years before Claude Shannon even came up with the concept of a digital computer.

if anything, the use of mega- and giga- to mean 1024 is a retcon over previous usage.

Same thing goes for vaults, or all physical locks. It may take a little longer than a padlock but nothing comparable to the amount of time it would take to brute force good encryption. We’re talking maybe a couple of hours or days for a vault vs. millions of years.

I live in a suburb and enjoy it a lot. It’s very walkable and people bike around the neighborhood all the time. We have a walking/biking path that connects to a larger trail that goes for a miles.

But have you got anything to walk/bike to?

A bike trail for sports is nice and all, but is it not just a larger island? What if you wanted to go to the supermarket, can you do that by bike/walking or do you run into obstacles like e.g. a highway that you can’t safely cross?

Say you wanted to cycle or walk to the other side of the country (assuming you have the time), could you do that? How far can you go without a car?

To me as a European who lives in a medium-sized city the US-style suburb model sounds very claustrophobic. The suburbs aren’t walkable, you can’t cycle anywhere either. The only way to get around is by car. Commercial areas are the same, shops are separated by streets and large parking lots, if you want to visit another shop you have to go by car.

It’s like each house or store is a little island and you can only island-hop using your car. Once you get out of your car, you’re stuck on yet another island. It’s like one of those older computer games from when they didn’t have the tech to stream large open worlds yet, just a bunch of small areas and a loading screen (car) in between.

No - Buddy. It is secured for this one specific device that I have biometric authentication for. What about my computer? What about my other computer that isn’t on the same operating system?

Then use a Yubikey.

What would you say determines whether a kernel is a Unix kernel?

Not what, who. And the answer is The Open Group,
