My thought is that clever engineers and programmers can easily make other chips work as well or better than NVidia chips. It really is a "nothing burger", except that Trump thinks he is "winning". Let him accept his "Peace Prize" from the soccer organization, Let him think he is King. It is still a nothing burger compared the great contributions that hardware, and software engineers give to society over all.

I do understand what the police are doing. I am for filming the police as much as possible to keep them accountable. I am for law and order, but that phrase is being thrown around to justify criminal activity by this Government. The citizens need to keep at least their grunts accountable. I don't want this to be an adversarial relationship, it should not be. But it is what it is.

I was sitting at a restaurant once, and someone kept their phone camera pointed at me. It got me kind of upset. I called him a "glasshole" and walked out. It was a few years ago. But who wants to go out to eat and have a camera pointed at them the whole time? Camcorder would be the same thing. That just seems really creepy to me.

I guess your right darn it!!

I would send her some $$ for her defense, plus some "fun money"!!

I have thought about this in the last month. I find it interesting that the article seems to find isotopes that indicate that Theia was closer to the sun. From where did they find the isotopes I wonder? I suspect that two large masses were orbiting the sun at about the same distance, probably a similar orbit, and crashed into each other, creating our moon. The isotopes would have been mixed/mashed together though, it seems.

That was my first thought, and if water did hit it, it may create a massive explosion, except, I believe this will be well below any 'water table', or aquifer. Something feels "off" about the idea, but I can't articulate it yet.

I agree, and instead of selling stocks, most smart people would sell BTC first. I guess that would make BTC the proverbial "canary in the coalmine". ------------ Late Thursday, market researcher Ed Yardeni blamed some of Thursday's stock market sell-off on "the ongoing plunge in bitcoin's price," reports Fortune:

Solar sails is my possible solution, thousands of them 1km square. Bonus if they pass light that is beneficial to plants, and reflect the rest. As far as putting more particulates into the atmosphere, no, just no.

Even if, and assuming it is true, it is not like the land cleared is useless. After building the windmills, anybody with an imagination can think of many different beneficial ways to use the land that has a "pole" every five acres or so.

John Oliver had a piece this year on Companies like Enron, and Boeing. He made some very good points. Lets see... There is a bank that was blatantly laundering money for Cartels and Gangs, the US Government said.. hey stop, i'm giving you three years probation. They kept doing it. Nothing happened. At Boeing, over 300 people died after many engineers said their airplane design was crap. They were put on probation, nothing happened. Hundreds of people died because a defective switch in GM cars, and the big wigs at the company seemed to have done a cost/benefit analysis between deaths, and the cost of the recall, and waited. Trump basically legalized bribery overseas (and probably fired anybody prosecuting in the USA). Unfettered Capitalism is clearly failing in certain places, and it certainly should not be blaspheme to point that out.

It does seem frustrating, that in America, almost any "do it yourself" project is basically "outlawed". There seems to be a regulation for almost anything. If almost any aspect of a home or business is changed, even cutting down a tree, there is paperwork to file, permits to get, an engineer to draw up the plans, a contractor to hire, and fees to pay. The laws seem to be made such that everybody breaks them almost every day doing the most common sense things.

Maybe a better analogy would be when you go to a bar, and there is a sign that says: "Free Beer Tomorrow"? And you go there the next day expecting free beer, but damn if that same sign aint up, and you have to wait another day. Man, that pisses me off!

I did not see in the article how it is re-shoring American manufacturing, just how they are moving out of China, I assume because Trump has a feather up his butt at this moment about China. Tomorrow, that may change. This will probably benefit S.Korea, Mexico, and Canada more than the US. The real fallacy of your comment is saying: "Trump successfully re-shoring...", is that he did it illegally by collecting taxes he has absolutely no power to levy. Any day now, the Supreme Court is likely to tell him to refund all of the money, and GM will go, eh... may as well stay in China.

If we want to terraform the moon, would there be an advantage in moving mass from the near side to the far side? Giving it even a little "spin", would possibly shorten the "days", make it easier to land at different places, and make it more interesting to look at from the earth. I'm sure it would be a lot of mass, but it would be a matter of using materials from the near side, and building on the far side, and waiting..
