The blades could easily be cut and used as modern "sleek" housing, or games for kids in parks

There is market for that I feel

Same in actual cosmology, it is called the holographic principle. The concept is that 3D bodies can be losslessly represented on a distant 2D plane which envelops them or alongside the spherical perimeter of a black hole if they are squished to it

It is not all that applicable, but it is interesting to think about and there are people studying it

Interesting future the one mentioned where the US military could use SpaceX starships to do isle hopping on the pacific in not a dissimilar way that they did during wwii

If there is any military that could do it it might be the US military

I am interested on the logistics of fuel procurement tho, the fact that starship uses liquefied natural gas and oxygen makes for a great mix and rather simple to procure vs other rocket fuels

Sucks that YouTube music is not integrated enough to YouTube proper, the discovery systems between both are also just bad

Parts of it yeah

There are some Google drive links with compiled art of the movie

2 years ago or so there was a push by an nft group with fair amount of money to purchase a copy of the dune storybook by jodo that they released to studios....

But it was not meant to be, you might be able to read of it on the web

Likely because the aim is to find the actual owner of the phone?

> we have got laws

Of which as mentioned previously by Miraste/flight 261 regarding Alaska were not implemented clearly and cleanly given that the person who raised the alarm of ghr situation was fired and the situation continued onwards

Right now regarding boeing there are also boeing whistleblowers in new NGOs set up to police boeing malpractice... If only laws work and this weren't necessary, as boeing also has bribed faa staff to achieve their own objectives risking public safety

And the counter argument to the "amount of area '' not being big ''" is that the zones that will be mined are precisely the richest in ecological interactions and less understood ones, they are the zones with underwater volcanic chimneys

If someone came and said that they want to drag mine/open pit mine the Yellowstone geysers bc of how rich they are with minerals and said as an argument "hey it is just a small part of the park!" I don't believe that many people would be inclined to accept that "argument"....

I still find this whole thing absolutely idiotic given that there are absolutely colossal piles of cobalt, manganese etc left on the tailings of copper and silver mines through the world just waiting for being collected and processed... And you don't need to build specialty equipment to reach the seabed at all

Op said "sent a message to a friend", it made no reference to facebook

Gmail famously scans the user emails to sell the info to third parties and sell adds

Ought be noted that while WhatsApp to my knowledgeable doesn't carry such a clause. It would be idiotic beyond belief to be led to believe that Facebook doesn't do the exact same thing

We'll figure it out in ten years or so after the eventual leaks happen

Instead of pocket I just have a personal discord server where I organize all the neat links that I find online, I write a short intro or header and some keywords

Far easier to search and more instantly readable than pocket is

Andrew Yang's focus groups and a/B testing stated that "freedom dividend" had better reception than UBI or any other phrasing, at least when it came to it being done in the US, it would be very interesting to see the outcomes in other countries
