It's an electric rocket system. They've aggressively eliminated all possible hydraulics. Gimbling rocket engines and flap articulation is all electric in Starship V3 and booster stage. So is cryogenic recirc. All that stuff has to react rapidly to achieve the agility necessary for the insane flight profile they have; slow gear trains won't cut it; so they have dozens of the most powerful direct drive actuators our species has yet devised.

Also, 9 MW isn't all that much. It's about 12,000 HP, or what you get from a modest gas turbine, or a few diesel locomotives. Naval vessels use gas turbines of that size for on-board power generation.

It's Expressif, and they can at least legitimately claim to have actual novel silicon that targets "edge" AI, including speech and imaging processing, and integrated vector instructions for AI.

Cynicism approved.

I have the good fortune to be a mosquito repellent, for whatever reason. Not that I don't get bit, but everyone else seems to get a lot more attention.

Gloria lives in a bubble, and made the mistake of thinking her extremely comfortable, highly secure bubble was the whole world. That's not surprising. Gloria only moves among other bubble people, from one gated bubble pad to the next, in her bubble transport system, where they don't talk about the turbo-fans and ICE V8's that power it all, or the staggering quantity of power it takes to climate control everything in her bubble world.

That's not new. We're ruled by such bubble folk, indulging their bubble concerns, pursing their moral panics, signaling their virtues, and carefully ignoring all else beyond the bubble.

What's new here is this: the consequences of this have reached the privileged students of our prestigious academic system. Suddenly it's not just the hoi polloi on the shit end of the stick. Johnny Winston-Blake IV is also having his future deleted by the bubble people. And he's mad about it.

No.
In one case you have an effective API between the two separate address spaces.
They are not comparable.

I'm not familiar with the exact implementations, but it's actually not hard to imagine a scenario where 1 is needlessly vulnerable, and 1 is not.

For the "secure" model,
What immediately comes to mind is a multi-process design (which I know that Chrome does use, but not to what extent).
The ability to read/decrypt passwords would be kept in a separate process from whatever handled rendering the website and runnings its javascript (since that's the most exposed to security challenges).
The head process would only feed passwords to worker processes when they had a reason to have them.

For the insecure model- single process. Done.
Any compromise (or even the ability to leak locally mapped memory) of the renderer or javascript engine means easy access to all passwords.

Hah, I'd definitely agree it's probably recommended practice by any legitimate (my definition, not the DEAs) practitioner.

The normal rules require an in-person visit, but the post-COVID rules (extended again this year) allow for telehealth "visits", even to receive scheduled drugs- at least that's what I've been led to believe.

That's been my overall take of the situation with the guys I know.

I have no doubt there's a legitimate practice in there for people with legitimate problems. Ketamine is serious shit. You can really fuck yourself up with it, permanently, if you misuse it. Actual doctor supervision seems like a good idea if you give a fuck about your life.

Ya, absolutely. IVs are almost guaranteed to be administered by a physician.

Home care (for us normies) are tabs and lozenges. I have several friends doing it completely legally (Telehealth is still a wild concept to me- who'd have thought you could ship Schedule 3 drugs to some guys house legally). It's all the rage, currently.
I've even heard tell of nasal sprays becoming a thing for it.

What I said was entirely accurate based upon my reading of the ambiguity.
Any "authoritative sound" you gleaned from my words is a psychological dysfunction of yours, not a problem with my words.

An assertion was made, it was interpreted, and it was responded to- correctly- in kind.
They meant something else, which invalidated the response. It's that simple.

So yes, you are the fucking stupid one.

Not one Democrat in a position of power to do anything about it has ever advocated for anything approaching "open borders."
Controlled immigration is not "open borders."
Belief that a wall is bad policy is not "open borders".

I'm not going to try to gaslight you into believing that there aren't people who believe in "open borders", but it's very much not at all a mainstream thought. It's a conservative bogeyman.

I can't help but think that you are basically calling any policy that isn't racist as fuck "open borders", because there is no fucking real-world analog.

It definitely takes a truly fucking bizarre person to take Musk at his word.
Brockman doesn't earn any favors in "trustability" from me, but still- he's not a known "Musk-level" pathological liar.

This part is incorrect. Many schedule 3 drugs are taken at home, legally.
Ketamine in particular has no special statute governing it, and there are at-home therapy programs.

That being said- absofuckinglutely your ability to make rational, correct decisions is ridiculously disrupted on ketamine.

That's pretty crazy. 100% US Grade A clown-world right there.
