We are such clever primates...

I'll play devil's advocate for Dr. Loeb. I listened to an interview he did when Oumuamua came through and he literally said "Is it aliens? No, probably not, but it could be and as scientists who use data and analysis of said data to form opinions then have rigorous debate about those theories...

The US has no choice but to protect Taiwan PERIOD. China will never be "the lesser of two evils" as they want to take over and America just wants them chips. Lutnick is a tool and has to say something inflammatory to be noticed on NewsMax and have his name in the media cycle. Hyperbole and...

What's the first thing that happens when there is a new CEO? They cut the IT budget... I think this also rings true to the story from yesterday about Boar's Head meat plants being filthy. Is it really worth the money you saved to have a disaster in the end? SMH

Why is no one asking ":are we creating value for the stockholders"? Will no one think of the stockholders while the hoi polloi is choking to death? Stockholders have vacation homes to pay for... Trickle down and all that, you understand.

Why is no one asking the real question "How am I creating value and ROI for the shareholders, today?". Hopefully no shareholders are injured as we shove FSD down your throat and then jack up insurance premiums for anyone who tries to drive "hands on" forcing the hoi polloi to buy/hail one of our...

We aren't that big of a shop, but when I said I needed an extra half million $ on top of the normal 5 year planned IT budget, emails began swirling. I gave the Director the "what had happened was" story and he took it personally. He used expletives he does not usually use then lowered his head...

What lazy journalism from Beth Mole who is usually on point. The Senate hearing was laughable as Bernie got righteous and fiery only to be shut down by CEO Jorgenson saying "it's not our company setting the price, it's the PBMs in your healthcare system". Every country in the world will get...

Another episode of "Stop at nothing to appease the shareholders, we need infinite growth!" I bet laying those 100 employees off made the CEO's stock options jump up a bit. What a scumbag...

I also do prototyping on large equipment and I use the Milwaukee if it's "in the belly of the beast" and have a cart with a Jackery 400 battery running a Weller/USB lights. I honestly am just thrown off for the price of this kit for beginners. You could pretty much buy my whole set up for the...

I feel like the real question is will the Boeing Starliner still be attached to the ISS when it is deorbited?

The only thing I have noticed now that the Admin staff is WFH permanently is that situations have to get to the point of nuclear war before the Admin staff becomes aware. Where if I saw a married workmate flirting with a summer intern pre-pandemic I would stop by my Admins office and say "Hey...

Is it part of the joke that they released it on Blu-Ray? I assume in the streaming age most people don't own a Blu-Ray player unless they have a gaming console that has one?

This is too little too late IMO, Starlink has actual customers and Amazon has two prototypes in orbit. Woof, up hill indeed. I saw this as breaking news last night and couldn't wait to read the ARS roundup and comments on the matter this morning over coffee and neither disappointed.

This won't help rural folks, but if you go to a large ISPs coverage map and go to the parts of a city that house the large affordable housing complexes aka projects you may be surprised how little is available. Hopefully, this legislation helps some kid somewhere have better internet for a...

Free will or fate or "spooky action at a distance" debates never end as they rely on each other and like a cat in a box can be both true and false at the same time. Just then I start rambling about how this is actually all a hologram and your perception of free will is just a line of code...

Which nation? Russia still uses Soyuz and it's apparent that their drone game is pretty weak if they have to buy them from Iran to use in Ukraine. China can't get advanced PCBs required to make said drones. Who does that leave? Canada or dare I call it a nation, Taiwan? I always call it playing...

Well it's a conundrum as UAP are a national security threat, so it's classified. Is classified the same as hiding information? If we (the US) had alien technology and were trying to reverse engineer it then it's classified and a national security matter, so no the government isn't going to...

I agree with you and I feel Endgame should have been just that.

Lots of these comments are interesting, but without a global initiative we are not going to do much about the global weather problems. Some of the emissions are a drop in the bucket compared to leaking methane wells or the crazy oil wells in Africa that sometimes are just abandoned and leak...
