I've gone on much longer than I initially intended. Thanks for your time
Can you post a source for that quote?
Did anyone else think this was going to be about some sort of Universe-scale natural phenomenon being modeled as a supercomputer?
Just don't overestimate the DESTINI-- I mean density of the core-- I mean mantle.
To all those anti-warp drive downers.. HAHAHAHA!!!!
As an English speaker, I find it outrageous that I might now have to deal with a language I don't know while coding JavaScript. This is going to restrict my use of third-party libraries. So unfair.
"... with each of the ISPs launching at potentially overlapping but different times."
Potentially overlapping? Does that mean some ISPs are only going to be running the system for a limited time, possibly ending it before others start? Or are the "launch windows" potentially overlapping? Or was that just spokes-babble?
The curses on tombs didn't work because people didn't believe in them. If some future civilization doesn't believe in radiation, well, sucks for them.
1) Write multiple warnings and translate them all into every language you can manage. This has the side-effect of being a Rosetta Stone.
2) Draw pictures of humans and other living things suffering the effects of radiation poisoning (and other death images, for good measure).
3) Draw the atomic structure of uranium, plutonium, etc. You could also try drawing fusion/fission/etc. Go crazy.
4) Make it really, really, really hard to get in.
5) Anyone who still gets in is either advanced enough that they'll be safe or dumb enough that they don't deserve to survive.
BONUS STEP: Keep maintaining it so the only way it'll ever become a problem is if humanity gets so close to extinction that by the time they would even get close to getting in, language will have changed so much that they might not understand the written warnings. Or the pictures.
Don't worry about the aliens. If they can get here, I think they'll probably be fine.
Trade is good.
Right?
Aliens don't respect your stinkin' copyrights!
Fabien just fragged the Quake 3 source code.
"Bitcoin offers anonymity, but isn't backed by any government and has seen high-profile hacks and collapses in value."
"...isn't backed by any government..."
Sounds good to me. Certainly true anyway.
"...has seen high-profile hacks..."
Bitcoin hasn't been hacked, some Bitcoin websites have been hacked.
"...collapses in value."
There was certainly that big bubble, but other than that it's been fairly stable. Certainly for the last many months.
