Gold has been one of the most heavily targeted assets for theft throughout human history. I'm not sure how you got the idea that gold is not stolen.

I'm sure there are no side effects of "dispersing silver iodide into clouds."

Yeap, as if the teens would not be able to communicate online...

It's a bit ironic because jet fuel is one of the main sources of crude oil; the rest are basically byproducts, including plastics.

The conspiracy would suggest it was staged on Earth. Did you see the huge Earth in the background? Don't you think that would have been the coolest thing to show? Despite lower gravity, I feel the ship's size to leave the moon's orbit is ridiculously small. The combustion on the moon is much harder, as you have to bring your own oxygen. Every year that passes by makes it a little more sense that it was fake. Remember, it was a race between the USA and the Soviet Union, and they "had" to win.

Yeah, that confirms that if 50 years later with all the tech we have developed, they can't do it again, it's probably because they never did it in the first place. I still find it hard to believe that, out of all the movies they filmed, very, very few images show the astronaut on the moon with a HUGE Earth in the background that should be 3-4x wider than what we see here on Earth.

Even if your battery is not completely dead, what if it's at 40% and you planned to visit your parents, and you know that 40% is not enough to get back? The battery life degradation is also an important aspect I didn't consider before reading your comment.

As usual, the solution will be more taxes, more permits, more restrictions, and no way to know if the sacrifice was enough or even made a difference. What is the temperature to rise, and there is nothing we can do about it? What if an increase in temperature is actually beneficial for more people than the opposite?

Is it me, or that's pretty scary, if there are so manu vulnerability found in a year, are many still hidden deep in the code?

I think you got it wrong! C# is truly open source, from the specification to the inner libraries and the compiler. You can do what you want. Try that with Java/Oracle! Regarding performance, C# beats Java most of the time. Can you believe that you cannot put an array of data in Java without using pointers all the time? int[,,] true3DArray = new int[3, 4, 5]; In C#, this is continuous memory, In Java, it actually creates: 1 + 3 + 12 = 16 separate array objects!

I had a sneak peak at their code it was more like that if ( rule_count > 200 ) crash_whole_system() else process_rule()

I'm also shocked!

When I say be careful what you wish for, what I mean in this instance is BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR!

Do you honestly think the bottom dweller portion of the base is going to know the difference or care whether Trump is real or an AI creation that lives indefinitely?

If it's controlled is some way or another by an entity or group of entities, it's a blockchain... it's just another database with a fancy name. Since it will be strongly supported regulations, it implied that it will be controlled and validated transactions.

I don't think any numbers were reported but I'm pretty sure the claim would be in the range of millions (probably under 100M). Maybe they should just pay the hackers and secure their network.
