You'd get sentences full of words like: tangential, orthogonal, externalities, anecdote, anecdata, cargo cult, enshittification, grok, Hanlon's razor, Occam's razor, any other razor, Godwin's law, Murphy's law, other laws.

It was a unique period of interplanetary space travel where most projects were simple flybys - the first time for each planet. Because the goal was just to flyby, the secondary benefit is that the trajectory sends it outside the solar system.

Nowadays, most missions involve insertions into orbit around the target planet, therefore no secondary opportunity to send it outside the solar system. The notable exception is New Horizons, which was a Pluto flyby and will also eventually leave the solar system.

Per Wikipedia:

It has a 3.7-meter (12 ft) diameter high-gain Cassegrain antenna to send and receive radio waves via the three Deep Space Network stations on the Earth. The spacecraft normally transmits data to Earth over Deep Space Network Channel 18, using a frequency of either 2.3 GHz or 8.4 GHz, while signals from Earth to Voyager are transmitted at 2.1 GHz.

Totally agree. There's no real complaints, and the coalescing around the Chrome layout engine means far less compatibility issues in general.

No, the awarding of a prize for promises is the exceptional part.

Obama was very explicitly promising to get out of the middle east wars.

Of course it's hard, but if that's true, then why is he making those promises, or worse, why is he being given a peace award based on those promises?

The Obama prize decision kind of made the Nobel prize a joke.

This does not make any sense. There's far more economic opportunity with AGI.

If society only consisted of the people in a given sector/industry, could it continue and flourish? If we only had engineers, how would society fare versus if we only had influencers? In this paradigm, there's no difference between fine art and pop art.

So your criticism of him is that "I assume that he called for violence even though I have no evidence that he did"?

>Despite the constant braying of right-leaning people, left-wing violence is a tiny fraction of domestic terrorism compared to the right.

Only if you buy into the various biased studies that are conducted by those who sympathize with the left.

>why even target the poor guy

There are plenty of dangerous mentally ill people out there who don't use any type of logic or reason as a basis for their decision-making.

Constantly fear-mongering that every event that occurs is a prelude to a repeat of history's worst atrocities is exactly the type of rhetoric we should avoid.

You're worried about Google hardware but your requirement for a phone is that it must have Google Pay? Bizarre.

>it isn’t worth working there anyways

There is a potential downside, and it's this scenario because things go south.
