Let me know where I can sign up to help clean sunlight off of squirrels

I love Neal Stephenson, and that might be my favorite as well

I suspect most launch sites have comparable situations. Launch sites are generally remote, and not big drivers of local economy.

Sounds like in general they are pushing for the development of permanent leo infrastructure across the board. Very interesting.

It'll will be fascinating to watch who is most successful at making that truly sustainable

Yeah seems like there's a general thermodynamics problem with sending a bunch of energy through the atmosphere

I mean fundamentaly your question is "Why do people have different preferences? " and I think that's a very interesting question, with philosophical as well as economic implications.

All we can say for sure is that individuals do indeed seem to have different preference, without clear criteria across individual people.

For example, if Jill has the opportunity to purchase either wine or beer, and both are the same price, same alcohol content, same social implications etc, we have no way to predict which Jill will choose based on the information available in the world outside of Jill consciousness.

However Jill herself may have an obvious and consistent preference, and I'm not sure anyone fundamentally knows the reason for that, other than Jill thinks wine tastes better.

It's so completely wild and backwards. Imagine your not a reddit user, but a search leads you to a reddit link, and you're on your phone. You see all this stuff about downloading the app instead, and you're just going to bail, never reading the post. If there was no friction, they may have converted a new user.

They act like everyone already uses reddit and the users are so addicted they'll put up with anything.

Ignoring my general problems with Meta, I find Instagram very clunky in general. Pass.

I've always been a fan of destruction and general environment interactability in games. Imagine what Red Faction Guerilla could be on modern hardware.

Now I'm nostalgic for the YouTube parties of old...

I wonder to what extent the lower tier cards are just under performers from the same high tier process.
