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.

Half the posts: AI is dumb, do not want, is anybody actually asking for this?

Other half: Siri is dumb, it's Apple's worst product, it's why I use Android.

They probably were. Every single thing cranks say isn't necessarily wrong, especially with enough retrospective eye squinting. The very best cranks take a grain of truth, inflate it out of proportion and use it to sell you their expensive vitamin C pills and blueberry powder.

We're spending trillions on AI. If your business plan is sucking wind on 0.3 of an x, you lack the vision to stay in the game.

JPG 10 year is at 2.6% yield. US Treasury 10 year is at 4.44%.

Whose debt burden is the problem here?

how fast does a fire have to be to become an explosion?

Greater than zero, but not by much.

Yes. It's not really comparable to high explosive detonations. It's kind of like that data centre that made the news for releasing a Hiroshima of energy every day!!

Word is a second booster at the site in the horizontal integration facility was also destroyed.

Impacts go beyond the rocket and pad. This was development for lunar landers to be launched this year, Leo internet satellites to be launched in the coming days, Blue Moon lunar landers for the Artemis lunar program, and on and on. An engine may have been the cause of the mishap and that casts shade on the Vulcan Centaur that also uses the same engine.

It's likely not bought with tax money. The company has various means.

The US government has a few people who do some things that require large quantities of gold bars of blind provenance, indicators of affluence and no accountability. They go to places that don't take US government checks or credit cards. When you have an administrative turnover at war with everything predecessor, some of these people get cashed out.

For some government agencies the ability to get away with fabricated backgrounds is a mandatory qualification. Somebody knew and decided they were cool with this.

Trump Loses More Control Over AI Regulation As Illinois Passes Landmark Law

Not really

The headline you disputed is that Trump, the president of the United States, has lost more control over AI regultation. Your evidence was that federal law supercedes the state law the article is talking about. Since the president doesn't make federal law, your objection is irrelevant.

You may wish to refresh your knowledge of what a straw man is, review your own argument, or stop and think for more than thirty nanoseconds before replying.

It is.
