The piracy community was unblocked quite soon after

The moon, probably

Yes, pure html pages are so much better and nicer to use!

Yeah so what I’m saying is if they got paid enough, same or more than what they’re getting with tips, we wouldn’t need to tip.

Maybe they are pushing for higher tips because they aren’t paid enough?

Why bother with simulations of governance systems and not governance itself at that point?

I do understand “the risk” of putting AI being the steering wheel but if you’re already going to be trusting it this far, the last step probably doesn’t actually matter.

So much better

Well articulated, good job

Then you’d be wrong

It’s kinda been agreed that it’s the best connector right now, with a lot of future-proofing built in (you can already see it f.e. with Thunderbolt, the same cable, massively different capabilities over ther years OR, from the power distribution side, it going all the way up to 200(ish?) watts lately

Sure, but as a reason for why BSD is better, the present is what’s important.

I’m not downplaying it tho

zfs is available on Linux just fine

But we’re not talking about the nature of the system here, we’re talking about this specific instance.

And I don’t agree they’d necessarily do it internally, sometimes talent is the biggest blocker, not money. They can contract out a team of highly qualified engineers from NASA for a project here and there, when they need it. Hiring people is extremely expensive and having those people do nothing between projects is even more so.

The fact that it’s not profitable overall doesn’t mean there can never be any profit from anything.

How would you know? It hasn’t been sold yet.

Yeah but that was decades ago.

Without the boom, these planes can fly possibly more profitable routes, for example, drawing parallels is hard with such a time-distance

Huh? What kinda question is that?

If you flew above treetops, you’d consume considerably more fuel because of air friction.

By investing into research of this airplane, the bulk of the costs are going to be manhours.

How is paying engineers going to cause brain drain?

People fly first class, people fly businees class. Some have the money.

Also, for some, the time saved is worth much more than what the ticket costs, especially in business (expensive consultants?).

why is NASA doing this with tax dollars

The resulting aircraft/technology can be sold to commercial aviation and/or be used for military purposes

something obvious

NASA stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration, so it’s kinda in scope
