I'm not going to respect a comment like this from someone who puts a space on either side of an em dash. Now tell me your take on the Oxford comma.
Ideally, it should be a hair space (because em dashes in web fonts are borderline illegible without it), but Slashdot does not support Unicode, and   gets silently swallowed by Slashdot's HTML parser. Besides, we all know that AP style is the one true style, and it demands space.
No, an en dash is used for numerical ranges and certain compound hyphentions, not for parentheticals.
I'm not sure why the Internet thinks Bubba is Bill Clinton.
Actually, the Epstein comma seems to be the worst.
Could you please make no em dashes the default so that the 1% of us who actually know how to use em dashes correctly — professional writers and language nerds and so on — don't keep getting accused of using ChatGPT?
Thanks,

I read, then re-read it and still can't understand. "Leo" somehow projects "new era of internet" better than "Kuiper"? Why?
My guess is that the finance team got wind of it, and they're tightening their belt.
When the next Democratic president waves their hand you can be sure the Supreme Court will do its duty and say that waving is not part of presidential powers and block whatever it is they want to do.
If they do end up being that two-faced and there's a Democrat-led Senate and House, that's how you get a 15-person Supreme Court.
McDonnel Douglas landed a rocket more than 20 years before SpaceX did. ATK, Pratt and Whitney, Boeing and Lockheed have all been involved in recovering boosters using parachutes.
The point of booster recovery is to make them cheaper. SpaceX and Blue Origin are the second wave of manufacturers, focused on cost.
You haven't watched any of the Apollo landings? They're on YouTube.
Those geniuses think that by turning a landlocked province into a landlocked country they will suddenly gain access to the ocean.
The death isn't Barr killing Epstein, it's Trump vaguely telling Barr to kill Epstein. It is probably not appropriate to name a mind virus that mobsters used for generations after a recent example.
New Glenn is about the same capacity as Falcon Heavy, maybe a touch less, both with full reuse. But SpaceX has also demonstrated recovering Super Heavy, which is a LOT bigger. You could pretty easily slap an expendable second stage on Super Heavy and the highest launch capacity ever.
If my conversions of crazy American units are correct you could stick an entire fueled New Glenn on top of Super Heavy and launch it.
Right. NASA, coordinating Boeing, Lockheed, North American, Rockwell, etc. were the first movers. SpaceX is the "copy cat" that takes the basic idea and mass produces it for a buck each.
It doesn't seem likely. The AI companies would have you believe that more compute equals smarter but they're already hitting dimishing returns pretty hard.
That's almost beside the point though. Railway and fiber companies built out more infrastructure than was immediately useful but then a bunch went broke and the survivors concentrated on making a profit. The big AI companies are in that first phase where they're trying to build stuff faster than everyone else. Next inevitably comes the part where they try and actually make a profit. If that involves ever more intensive investment then great, we've got a new industrial revolution, just like your semiconductor example.
They didn't.
They did. From the summary:
Paul Strack, 63, visiting Boston from Little Rock, Arkansas, told CBS News he received an email from Marriott on Sunday about his Sonder stay, but he initially mistook it for a scam. The email said that Marriott's agreement with Sonder had ended, and that "we are unable to continue your reservation beyond today."
I don't know how to read this in any other way besides that Marriott contacted these people and told them that they no longer had reservations.
I also don't know how to read this in any other way besides that Marriott's cancellation of the contract with Sonder was directly responsible for this, which must either mean that the stay was at a Marriott hotel contracted through Sonder, or that it was at a third-party hotel and Marriott decided to not pay Sonder for the rest of that person's stay. In either case, Marriott is at least partially responsible, and in the latter case, may even be guilty of tortious interference with that person's stay.
The hardest part of climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
