I would think that there must be exceptions to any mass gap because surely the mass gap applies to the formation of the bodies... not their future evolution in the presence of added mass from companions or the like. So if a neutron star forms initially and mass is slowly trickled into it, can it not become a black hole through the back door rather than in its initial supernova? And be of whatever mass ends up exhausting the additional supply.

If people occulted by the Earth don't count as showing, then neither should people occulted by buildings, vehicles and foliage, so then you're down to far less than half of everyone.

He really puts the cringe in Cringely.

Even in the summary they imply that the food is not even from the restaurant it's claimed to be... in other words a fake kitchen as well as a fake menu.

I like the cut of your jib.

There need to be live feeds from 360 degree cameras mounted outside the plane.

Many countries won't allow them in if they don't spend money to make local language programs.

I don't think he's kidding, I just think he didn't include "the problem FOR GOOGLE WITH OFFERING IT".

I wonder if Verizon will resell any 3g capacity to MVNOs you might be able to use.

The problem is not really the former employer suing the employee. It's the prospective new employer declining the new hire because they are in cahoots with each other.

It doesn't matter how much money they raise, they have lost the race. Pied Piper's decentralized internet platform is already hosting partner web sites and processing compute tokens.

Spaghettification is not a feature of event horizons, it is a feature of gravity wells. The spatial location where tidal forces turn lethal can be far below the event horizon of a very massive black hole, and higher for a small one.

Correction, it does not need to be defended, but can impact damages awarded when a suit is won.

Copy right needs to be defended or it is lost. Blizzard does have to do something. But I always wonder why in the world companies don't simply negotiate carefully worded licenses with fan projects to both protect their rights AND promote fandom. Just draw up a license that allows them to continue specifically running the server but not to charge money, but not to use the IP in novel ways.

I don't think banning honey will go down very well.
