Circumpolar launches of starlink are done from Vandenberg. It also has a big ocean south of it.

Holy crap you are showing the desperation of somebody who is losing their argument.

Yes the DSA talks about ranked choice voting and increasing the size of the house and the Supreme Court and reducing the senate's power and so on. But these are all so moderates and proportional representation have a chance. It is not "marxist" in any way whatsoever, in fact it is the opposite.

I do fear the DSA, if the win, and feel they will still be preferred over extreme-right candidates, will suddenly have amnesia and forget all these promises (since they still help moderates, who would win over the extreme left just like they would win over the extreme right). But you are a fool to say these ideas are "marxist".

Google Maps is *not* putting ads into search results so at least for now Apple is doing worse.

Domestic panels will get more expensive, too, as they are made from polysilicon.

Yes all the time. Using a Tablo DVR

Why isn't there a second independent AI that examines the main AI's output, and decides if it should be censored or not. If it thinks so, the answer is not delivered.

Since the second one is only looking at the first AI's output it seems like it would be difficult or impossible to fool it, especially if it's window is very short (like only the current message).

I assume there is some reason this does not work. Any explanations?

Those are visible harassment campaigns (and visible on purpose to scare others). He was wondering about ones people don't know about, secret and/or unreported harassment campaigns.

I think they feel it would be more like humans communicate. But humans invented blackboards and certainly found them useful to improve communication.

Facebook is not in chronological order.

People do not tell the truth about their motives when answering polls. News at 11.

What in the world are you talking about???

"avoiding the homeless" is NOT the reason Americans don't take public transit.

The reason there are extreme left candidates is that the Democrats picked the ONE candidate they will run in the main election. At best they will pick an average Democrat, but because they are NOT using RCV they will probably pick an extremist who appeals to the greatest fraction (far less than 1/2) of them. In RCV there would be a bunch of Democrats and Republicans and others running in a SINGLE election. Yea you can vote for your favorite extremist as #1, but you will also rank people in the middle higher than your opposing side, and since this happens in both directions, the center will win.

It is obvious that opponents of RCV are resorting to outright LIES now. Pretty low.

Sterilization probably is not needed for the Moon. Most things die and we have already contaminated it plenty anyway.

I agree there is something fishy about this. Not only will it leave the 2 landers on Mars without a test platform on Earth, it will also leave PROMISE without a test platform on Earth! I'm also surprised the test platform has a working RTG generator when there probably is a wall outlet it could have used instead, though perhaps they wanted to be absolutely authentic.
