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.

For centuries panicky fools have spread alarm about things affecting the mind. Comics, D&D, porn, sugar, etc.

Real effects tend to be strong enough to easily detect within a year. Often immediately or at least within a day. One dose of LSD instantly affects you and some times some of those effects are permanent. Rabies takes no more than a year, usually 3 months or less.

Things that are not detectable in a couple of years tend to have minimum effects and are often reversible. Diabetes for example takes decades and if you see a doctor regularly you are told you have 'prediabetes' before then. (Exceptions for things like pregnancy related diabetes and transplant medication induced diabetes).

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 do they keep the proteins from denaturing?

My house is a relatively normal size (1800 square feet), and it still takes more than three full minutes for water in my shower to reach full temperature when I run it straight hot. If I also turn on both faucets in my bathroom, I can get that down to about twenty or thirty seconds, which is barely tolerable.

At my mom's house in Tennessee, the distance the water has to travel is comparable, but it takes only ten seconds or so.

It's a huge downside to all the water-saving showerheads and faucets that were forced upon us here in California decades ago. We waste a lot of time and energy to make up for a water shortage that exists only because of decades of politicians being short-sighted and kicking the desalination can down the road over and over so that the money doesn't get spent on their watch.

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.

RTFA.

I didn't rail against Rust. It's fine. LTR

No. Blue Origin blew up their only launch pad last night static firing the rocket that detonated. Jeff is likely grounded for a year and this stuff isn't going to happen.
