The universities that I went to had campus police, not just rent-a-cops. Real cops with real badges & real guns.

Open is nice, but the Cyanogen people need to pay the bills.

There's no point to CM if it's not secure. If they're installing Microsoft blobs by default, it's not secure. We know Microsoft openly cooperates with the NSA on eavesdropping technology - I even wonder if this is a subtle warrant canary.

Assuming the least-bad possbility, then if they want to offer an easy-to-use tool to install a tested Microsoft bundle from the CM servers, then fantastic - for people who want to make that trade-off.

I dislike the two-sytem status quo too.

At least show both parties are conscious and not unwilling. But I ma not sure how to avoid falsifying consent, say of a stoned person. This app probably just kicks the stone sone the road a little.

If someone loses their employment becasue this app is misused to punish someone, is the author liable? Common carriers are generally immune to the content passed through them. ISPs are partially immune. But DRM, drug trades, underage porn without due dilligence can get them in trouble. But what about software authors?

Yet....

fuel needed for the landing is inefficient compared to a splashdown parachute recovery

The barge/ocean is just a temporary measure. The vision is twenty rockets launching a day and returning to the launch site to prep for the next launch.

There were about 120 rocket launches last year. SpaceX's mission statement is to reduce the cost of launches by 100x, and utilization rates go up as costs fall, so it's not just 100x more launches - twenty a day is probably very conservative if they hit their price targets.

Queue the folks who can't imagine what anybody would do with more than 640 launches a year.

But it appeared they could come down slowly. Pretty close to hover.

Yeah, I think that's the inevitable end-game - there is plenty of time to make small adjustments right up until the point of contact with the solid parts of the planet. AIUI, they're so close to empty on the fuel tank after the burnback that they're trying to get it down on the pad ASAP. They can only attempt these landings for now on launches that don't require as much fuel as others - supposedly the next iteration can hold more fuel.

Also, Stanislaw Lem featured a kind of smart dust in his 1980s novel.

The fifty shades are of grey, not gray.

Electromagnetic force created chemical bonds and the illusion of substance in normal matter. Even though normal matter is 99.9999% "empty", EM chemical bonds keeps solids and liquids from interpenetrating each other. Since dark matter doesnt seem to have EM chemical bonds, it just difuses through the general emptiness of normal matter. It just may make us feel a little heavier than were really are from just normal matter.

To get likely first use age. Another example. oldest clothing evidence is about 30K years. But lice genetics points to clothing lice evolved about 70K years ago.

Disney documentatary about orphaned boy chimp adopted by a male adult (unusual). They used stones to crack open nuts. It is not an easy skill to learn. They did not reshape the stones. This suggests stone tools used many million years earlier than than this.

I would be kind of surprised if it was generally noticable

Amazon reviews are quite positive.

If you're just looking at resumes it's easy to say "oh, yes, let's give this woman a chance" when you know you'd never actually give her the job. Follow it up with some bullshit excuse about 'culture fit' or personality that can't really be quantified or held against you.
