I don't "trust" any of these providers. I expect them to fuck me. I just don't get the option to use none of them if I want to participate in modern society.

Which issues? Not being able to trust that the code doesn't do things which are intentionally malicious? It's as close as you can get. Literally all closed source software is less trustworthy.

I don't forget. This shit plan comes from shit "people".

(Nazis' whole thing is dehumanizing others, no one deserves it more)

Get fucked, hipster shitlord.

Maybe. Ukraine apparently did this two years ago as an experiment, then decided not to continue experimenting, much less make it standard procedure.

Full autonomy was obviously one possible solution when the Russians got good at jamming drone communications. The other was switching to wired control, via kilometers-long spools of ultrathin fiberoptic cable. Ukraine has settled on the latter. This is covering the front lines with a massive spiderweb of fiberoptic cable, which is also a cost, but Ukraine has apparently decided it's what they prefer.

No. Invaders don't get the benefit of the doubt.

As other comments have pointed out, there have been killbots since the 1970s.

This is just a cheaper killbot. That's news, it might even be a paradigm shift, but it's not a fundamental difference in what is occurring.

As long as Russia is attacking Ukraine, attacking Russia is defending Ukraine.

This is not complicated.

All Russia has to do for the attacks on Russia to stop is stop attacking Ukraine.

It's not just you. There's lots of other clowns just like you who think allowing Russia to continue attacking Ukraine is perfectly OK.

ICE has all the training they need to carry out their mission of terrorism.

Hey cultists: Where's the medical reports of when Trump was allegedly shot? How come he never talks about the people who tried to kill him when he cries constantly about people being mean to him? You fucking absolute clown fucks.

Is that correct?

I'm trained as a righty (born ambi) so my fighting stance is left side out, left arm blocking, right arm striking, initially.

That results in hips and stance angled to my right.

I'm cross-eye dominant so I always second-guess, but I don't remember the other students in martial arts class being different.

Someone came along to mod me down for complaining about literally the worst software company in all history. Rent free!

My favorite thing is how when I open an office document when I've got one already open in that program, the other window MAY (or may not) un-maximize and rise to the top before the new window appears. That doesn't fuck up my workflow or anything... wait, yes it does, it fucks it right in the ass.

I also especially like how Outlook appointment notifications usually don't come to the top even when you're not typing, they just show up under other Office windows, and cause the taskbar icon to flash. They occasionally work correctly.

(For the record, I didn't plan to go reading your Wikipedia page, I just searched your name and "fusion" so I could go read the papers you had written, and this is what came up instead, lol)

Fission is perfectly good in space. What, you worry about the radiation?!

Oh for fuck's sake, you cannot be this ignorant.

Fusion in space (beyond the power side, where it's in general higher temperature (higher Carnot efficiency / easier to radiate) and lower mass than fission) is about being able to exhaust fusion plasma as a high-ISP rocket engine.

ORLY?

Because your wikipedia user page started out saying that you're a programmer working at a hedge fund who got into programming by working in tech support.

I work at a medium-sized (for Canada) hedge fund during the day, primarily writing the program they use to enter and track orders. I'm formerly a Mac guy, but holding a day job pretty much means you've got to work on the PC, and so I do. I can't say I really mind it though, and I have to admit that Microsoft Access does the job well.

I got into programming in a roundabout way, originally working in tech support for FirstClass. That was one odd company; there were the programmers, and then "everyone else", the peaons. I never managed to break into programming there, the barrier to entry was just too high. Then back in '97 Apple Computer announced it was buying NeXT and using OpenStep as the next Mac OS X. So I started looking into OS and got completely hooked, posting about it a lot on the UseNet. Then one day I got a email from a developer in Toronto who wanted to hire me to help him write a program on OpenStep, but I declined, saying I liked my job and didn't really have that much experience anyway. The next day I got laid off. The day after that I worked for him. The rest, so it goes, is history.

Then when you started editing fusion-related pages, you changed it to say:

The quick-n-dirty description of me is "failed physicist" - I took physics in U but I completely bit at the heavy math. So now I'm a programmer, like all the other physicists out there. Eh, I don't mind that too much. I'm also a pilot, so unsurprisingly most of my edits are on science, tech or aircraft.

Then you later edited it to say:

The quick-n-dirty description of me is "coding physicist" - I took physics in U, and like so many others of my era, today I'm a programmer

Now here you're:

A physicist who has been writing about fusion since my 3rd year E&M thesis

Go home, poser. You're a programmer who took some physics courses in school, failed them, and are now pretending to be a subject matter expert.
