I heard that they have uncovered one of the world's largest reserves of bullshit buzzwords, so that should add a few hundred billion to the market cap.

The 27.3 day period is sidereal (i.e., relative to the stars). The cycle of phases, or synodic period, is about 29.5 days.

Because if the WH doesn't get to see the new stuff first, they won't know which stock to buy and which to short.

Don't forget billions for wars in the Middle East.

if it's still open in a month or two. I expect inventory to be a bag of potato chips, a harmonica, a gas cap from an Edsel, and 350 toothbrushes.

It's probably the nicest thing anyone has ever called him.

This is definitely designed to help the little guy and will in no way be used by the ultra-rich to continue fucking over the economy and the little guy.

Nobody has stock in USAID. There was never any danger that grifting clown and his crew of sooper genius tech teens was going to touch the military industrial complex. Starving kids don't have anyone rich and powerful in their corner like Lockheed does.

What's the attraction to putting all of this in space vs on the ground? Is it just 24 hr solar? It's gotta be cheaper to just install 100 MW of solar panels and 100 MWh of batteries for a 10 MW data center somewhere in Alaska where you can get free cooling (or probably in Florida where you have to pay for it) than it is to launch all this crap with space-grade hardware and 10 MW of solar panels.

if it can be done on the ground it's about a zillion times cheaper to do it on the ground vs. in space. Providing internet, building data centers, generating solar power. Space is for stuff you can't do on the ground, unless you want to use it to milk $ out of people who are rich and uneducated.

The orange grifter has already transferred too much of that money to his Bored of Peace/Venezuelan oil/Green Card Bribe slush fund. It takes 5 minutes for all of the computer resources of the CBP to process one refund? Bullshit. A single Timex Sinclair running on punch cards would be faster.

This day on Slashdot: https://politics.slashdot.org/...

Protesting is not the same as attacking the seat of government and a mob forcing congresspeople to lock themselves in a room and then breaking into that room. If she did that at a fucking 7-11, she would have been asking to be ventilated. Not at all the same as the ICE untrained goons gunning down citizens in the street.

But you knew that already. Calling yourself an anonymous coward should be prosecuted as stolen valor in your case.

One on the front and one on the back is "disappointingly few"? Do most people want one on each edge, too?

I'd like for a ghost to visit him and show him the future where he's 70 and driving across a bridge built by an engineer who used AI to get through school. It collapses, and he is rushed to the ER. He looks up into the face of a "Doctor" who also skipped class because his shitty AI would do it for him. They put him in an MRI designed and built by someone similarly "educated" who didn't really understand the strength of steel or the force applied by the magnetic field, and he is subsequently crushed to the size of a peanut before he is transported back to the present to talk to us all about fucking horses.
