Maybe. We've heard the same phrases for Josephson junctions, magnetic bubbles, insert your favorite once-nascent technology here. There is still a big distance between demonstration and practicality.

Bitcoin Gold is a fork of the original Bitcoin. Don't use it unless you know what you're doing.

If you watch the video, you will see that the plaintiff-appellant thinks so. You will also see the judge in the center disagree with him.

It's a defamation case. So, there will be findings about defamation, not about copyright.

Really, Rosco. If I had such a big ego, I'd be telling you about my huge... oh, never mind.

Yes, but this is saying from one sample that human brains were physically more sturdy 2600 years ago. Which sounds like a structural change, while height could be just nutrition.

It's a well-preserved piece of human brain tissue, but animal brains are older, see this 39000-year-old one for example. We also have an ample fossil record to tell us the speed of evolution in general.

There has been no significant evolution of the human body in 2600 years. Brain structure could not have been significantly stronger that such an evolutionarily-short time ago.

If you are just a political dissident, I don't think anyone's going to be concerned about that.

The problem comes when people express misogyny or racial or religious hatred, or pederasty and attempt to clothe those things as dissidence, or these days even conservatism. It isn't either.

Well obviously every country has their own radio regulation agency. All of the ones in 211 countries, all of the space countries as far as I'm aware, follow the regulations of the International Telecommunications Union, a UN organization, because they've all signed a treaty to do so. And I believe the ITU is requiring member nations to avoid the Kessler syndrome by requiring some deorbit or geostationary parking strategy.

P.S, Stanley is 19, was out of the house and self-supporting as an EMT 2 weeks after high school ended. He is handling 911 calls in Oakland. Brave guy, that means narcan-ing people with opiate overdose, and some wake up angry, multi-person shootings, you name it. He is gaining experience before paramedic school. He'll use his college fund eventually.

Yeah, but I also have a life, so Valerie and I went for a long walk at Point Pinole, and then for tacos and beer at East Brother brewery. I had a flight with the English Strong, Baltic Porter, Oatmeal Stout, and Russian Imperial Stout. And all of this was probably more fun than Slashdot :-)

Also, for a while the troll situation here was pretty bad. I am watching to see how things go.

Armor is not in general the way to go. Instead, design in shorter satellite lives and launch more often.

FCC will not license your radio communications if your satellite does not have a de-orbit strategy. For low-orbit satellites, like your typical cubesat, the orbit decays by itself and they burn up. For higher orbit ones, you need a method to de-orbit them.
