so i was just walking to the nearest supermarket when the supermarket radio (they usually play music) calmly announced “for the next week, we expect a warm 35°C” … wtf

you posted this article twice. delete this one and keep the other one.

yeah it was outright visible that the documentary was especially well-done because a potential IPO

thanks for the nuanced response, i will take it to heart.

ok, thanks, i’ll keep it in mind

I think this may have just happened to you OP. That’s not a common way to see children.

i don’t see it that way, but a lot of people in the US seem to, at least from what i can see. see my other comment for explanation.

Tons of people have kids, tons of people want kids. The idea of ‘you’re a child’ being the worst insult is baffling, honestly.

yeah tbf i’ve never set foot in the US; i get this notion from social media, movies, books, etc.

wait let me record a 10 second sequence of a movie.

(the video should have audio, in case it doesn’t play, a download should do it)

anyways the woman says “have you ever considered that you’re wrong? hah, of course not! you’re a child.” upon which the other person freaks out. which i have seen sooo many times in pieces of media (especially from the US)

anyways, meanwhile, children can actually be really reflective and understand a lot, also when they’ve made mistakes or hurt someone. so saying that somebody is a “child” when they can’t reflect on themselves, in my opinion, is inaccurate.

i’m not a fan of musk at all; however this is in the technology community because it’s a good technological breakthrough.

when you’re using a sailing ship, you’re not actually using wind to drive, instead you’re using the energy within the wind’s movement, that’s what you’re using to push the ship forward. the air does not get consumed in some kind of air-eating machine or sth

it’s similar with electricity. the electrons rarely get consumed (exceptions exist, mostly in electrochemistry)

which is why we need tax money being spent on the communal level. not the federal level. it’s the fed gov that spends it on the military, it’s the municipality that spends it on schools.

does anybody have any numbers on how many taxes he actually pays? (with sources pls)

eh, the video has a fair point but i can’t watch that. they’re interviewing some really really senile 90 year old ex goldman sachs manager or sth and just hearing him talk makes me cringe. it’s clear he has no idea what he’s talking about, from the way he talks, he contradicts himself in the first 5 sentences, he has no vision in his mind, it feels like a drag just watching this

it’s so unfair. there’s many talented people in the country. then they put that geriatric nepo baby into the job. why don’t we have talented people in high-ranking positions. we should take an example from china where the politicians studied physics or sth idk at least it feels like that.

yeah personally i would be fine if it could access anything but my own personal files / the OS installation.

thanks, i didn’t know that! i’ll keep it in mind.

the simple solution would be to put every game into a sandbox by default

ouch that hurt but is this really world news? is it relevant to an international audience?

i grew up in a small austrian town but it didn’t really have much nature besides 3 trees standing next to our house (that i used to climb btw, was fun).

now i live in vienna and i spent like 10 hours last week exploring the river bank of a small river around here, it’s beautiful. so much better. i realize that this is because of many factors, but one of them is that a flat empty piece of land can just be so absolutely mind-bogglingly boring and generic that nobody even bothers to try to make something beautiful out of it. at least that’s my take.

Oh and vienna was built between the mountains on one side and a large river on the other side, and i am starting to think that that does make a difference. I’ve yet to put it to proper words, though.

What matters is the effective exhaust velocity. For chemical rockets it’s 3 km/s. The article doesn’t seem to mention it?

On top of that, ion drive travel is notoriously slow. So it’s not good for human travel because you would need more life support system for the longer journey, including more food and water, which makes the rocket heavier and is thus undesirable. It would only be useful for cargo transport where it doesn’t matter whether it spends 6 months or 3 years in space.

lifting a 100g schoko 1 meter per second, on Earth

in space no because there’s no gravity, so lifting things doesn’t take energy, only acceleration does. too lazy to calculate now, the relation is simple but i’m lazy.
