I'm reading this book right now, and it doesn't make me enthused for the future. But I'm all over the place, I never know what level of doom-thinking to accept for climate change.

Out of curiosity, do you have to use another device for TOTP 2F?

I've crashed a Lime/Bird at least 3 times, none of them related to cars or other people in any way.

1. Taking a pedestrian bridge off-ramp in the rain at max velocity because I wanted to see if I could take the corner going that fast.

2. Finding a quarter-pipe set up next to a bridge. How can you resist trying to shred it? It went well on run 1 thru 9. Run # 10, not so well.

3. Driving one home drunk at 230am and trying to drive it with only one hand.

My point is that it's pretty easy to fall off if you are pushing the envelope in any way at all. Who the hell falls of a scooter? Hah! Who the hell rides one exactly how you are supposed to? Totally boring.

It's not possible that they might just enjoy loud machines? And you might not enjoy loud machines?

I'm not sure how anyone could walk 5+ miles a shift @350lbs and not injure themself, unless they were that big from training for Strongman or the like. Humans are not meant to have that much fat.

What's wrong with: anything a user can do on your app in the interface must also be doable via API call by that user.

You don't have to map everything so the platform interactions are the same, simply make them equal-access via API call.

It seems flawless to me but I also only spent the time I took to type this thinking about it, so it may be 98% flawed.

This argument seems moot. I am not under the impression that it's difficult to go buy heroin or meth if you want some. Users seem to have no problem getting it.

I think about this often too. There are a ton of articles out there about it. It seems like it would require a pretty colossal amount of mass to get lifted into orbit, and then maintenance of a giant fleet of objects flying close together. Flock dynamics writ large. I've wondered if it would be easier to find an asteroid you can turn into sails (handwaving here about the difficulty of finding one, developing the technology to mine it & also spin up a space manufactory...) than it would be to make them all on earth. Who knows.

EDIT: I've sort of come to the conclusion that this is the only solution that a single-party could take on that would meaningfully decrease the amount of heat in the atmosphere. Everything else is dependent on a ton of other people doing what they need to do, too.

I'm building a sauna in my parents backyard. I've framed and sided a couple houses, but always with someone who knew what they were doing. Building even a small insulated shed (which is what a sauna basically is) from scratch w/ no plans, whole other world. Lots and lots of things I have to figure out along the way.

It amuses me now many asterisks are on this page. "Some big claim"* *Only with x package and x accessories

Seems like more statements have asterisks next to them then don't.

Why would you use a browser to visualize 1m nodes?

I understand that, I was a step ahead of myself in my mind. My question is better phrased as: why write legislation at all if you think the Supreme Court would very likely strike it down were it passed? What is the point of this effort?

Good point, we aren't generally allowed to own RPGs and attack helicopters, so it's not maximalist. However, RPGs and helicopters were not around at the time of the passing of the amendment, so I'm not sure we can that it is historically and textually accurate. For that matter, the guns this legislation would target weren't around then either, so I'm not sure how useful that criteria really is.

How does Congress expect to pass legislation like this when there is a 6-3 conservative judge majority who will almost certainly defend maximalist interpretations of the 2nd amendment?

I wonder if you could start small on something like this. Build a proof of concept, a search engine for programmers that indexes only programming sites/material. See if you can technically do it, & if you can figure out governance mechanisms for the project. Sort of like Amazon starting with just selling books.
