Welcome to 1995.

Might as well spread the joy around developing challengers (not like that!). It's not like the prime mover in New Space is going to need any part of NASA's whopping $40b annual budget.

Selling your body scans as a VR skin. AI enhanced, naturally.

A colleague of mine working for Motorola patented encrypted memory sometime in the 2006-2010 timeframe. Maybe Motorola figured out that AMD was violating their patent and negotiated royalties privately with AMD. I don't know; I don't work at Motorola, but if AMD had to suddenly start paying royalties, it makes sense that they'd remove the feature from lower end, lower margin processors.

We're going to Mars. This is unstoppable money now. They raised three years of NASA budget in one day, becoming worth more as a company than the accumulated total budget of NASA since inception, adjusted for inflation.

Also, frist psot. Been a long time since the last one..

Super El Niño, AMOC shutting down. Mauna Loa CO2 shutting down reporting 432 PPM before we shut them up. The mighty Colorado river died. We drank it up. India has been over 95F for months, and parts are becoming uninhabitable reaching 114F.

Dinosaurs had 165 million years. Sea turtles 260 million. Genus Homo, 2 million. Sentience may be self defeating, which solves the Fermi Paradox.

If they had some super powerful analysis and synthesis computer that solves problems for them, would it be able to sort this out?

This is a threat of referral to criminal prosecution. Criminal prosecution is a government, not personal or corporate activity. What I say here is that such threats are empty.

People do get that wrong a lot though. Apparently even Microsoft, the FBI and US Attorneys these days.

There's a lot of speculation about life as we don't know it. And that's what it is: speculation. While there are microbes that don't rely on oxygen, and one animal, they are utterly dependent on environments that do require oxygen. So no abiotic life origins here.

Without knowing for sure what to look for in a chlorine based life form even with it live in front of us, performing the forensic search with the body cold billions of years is all but impossible. We will get there some day but people are looking for signs unambiguous, and that means life as we know it.

In the US this is protected speech. There is a flaw in published software such that x and y... This is a statement of observed fact no matter how obscure.

Poor form, yes. Illegal, no. To threaten or intimidate rather than fix the fault is reliance on the ancient Microsoft trope security through obscurity. Tolerance of that oppressive behavior makes us less secure, not more.

Closing their account on your service is fair game though. No obligation to host anyone for any reason.

Dealing with aggrieved customers is just a part of doing business with the public. No matter how well you behave some people just have issues, and some will have legitimate complaints. Microsoft is a multitrillion dollar multinational corporation. That comes with the turf.

>And they will have arisen long long before the explosion.

I am no expert but... At a propellant feed rate of 2,300kg per second and a turbine speed of 19000 rpm that's a lot of mass in motion to come to a sudden stop. At 350 bar of turbopump pressure I can see there being a lot of bang at the first sign of trouble. The engineering limits on these devices may not be fully characterized until mass production has rolled for a while.
