Probably like 30 out of the 200. It really is a ridiculously common name.

Edit: I just looked it up, 20% of South Koreans are called Kim.

Except for the exact spelling I already share a last name with a war criminal president. But since I’m in a different country and the name has a positive association with an author here, it hasn’t really seemed like an issue.

Then I’d be pretty violent against demon invasions of our world. Or maybe I already am, don’t really know how to test it out lol.

That will be even worse

Yeah I don’t know why anyone entertains the idea.

Lifting things to LEO still costs around 2000 USD per kg, even with modern cheaper prices thanks to reusable rockets. For a datacenter presumably you’d have to go higher where you have less drag, because you can’t keep doing burns for repositioning. So that sounds like it would already make everything so much more cost prohibitive. And the vibrations of a start are probably also not trivial, if your components are all hardened instead of off the shelf that will cost you more too. I see no world where that’s more economical than buying some cheap land in flyover USA and have truckers drive things there.

Regarding maintenance there are some approaches where you build more redundancy ahead of time and then let broken things rest in place. At least that was the spiel an Azure evangelist gave us once when I was an intern at a webdev shop (in 2012). But still, once enough breaks down (I think it was a third of components) they would usually then exchange an entire container. So yeah still not great for space.

The energy I don’t know about really, but at least it doesn’t sound impossible that it could be decent for solar, as long as you can deal with more and more holes in your solar sails over time. At least you wont have to deal with diurnal cycles I guess. But the heating is really the killer issue imho. You’d have to radiate off heat in a massive scale. Heat management for the ISS is fairly complex already. I don’t see how they would efficiently do this on a 5 GW scale. And once again a component level issue: all your cooling from the rack out has to be set up for it. No more fans local to systems, everything is heatpipes that need to connect to the entire spacecraft somehow.

Haha does this mean they removed only the BypassNRO script, but not the underlying regkey?

I realise you have to be somewhat off the rocker to be a billionaire CEO, but Pat is showing more of that than I expected here.

Who would blame ATC for an incident?

“The common clay of the new west, you know… morons”

Not just the logo, look again, I missed it too at first, an entire word is gone from the name :D

I don’t think it’s just normal edit-compress-cycles.

• The cropping theory doesn’t align with the cardboard piece
• The second flavour from the right has lost the term “Freeze” from its name somehow
• The way the metal ring on the refill plug has merged with the vertical metal piece on the outlet just screams of a typical AI-not-understanding-functional-parts error to me.

I think it’s AI-mangled. I found this older version over on Reddit, posted there on August 2nd.

Notice that that version looks less shopped around the systemd output, has more detail in the metal pieces and in the shadows around the cardboard, and still has an electrical outlet in the back.

No, 27,38 years

Once, punching my boss in the solar plexus after he shoved and threatened me. There were witnesses, so no charges, but I still got the sack.

Would you have stuck around if you could have?

I have never ever wished that. But I’m also not American or Jewish so I wasn’t bullied for being intact.

It’s not like the EMS can fight the feds to take away the patient when they refuse. To me this text doesn’t really sound like Chief Angie Sullivan is okay with it either. I think on the contrary, having this record could be very valuable to at least keep the feds accountable after the fact when they fuck up the care of arrested people.

I never learned any Spanish. I can barely guess at some meaning when its written thanks to learning French and random other bits and pieces of romance languages getting stuck in my head at some points.

So now that you wrote it out, yeah I guess that would be obvious, when she says they dance like that in Barranquilla. But there’s no chance I would have ever heard that 😁

Oh, Guam, the island in danger of tipping over, according to Hank Johnson.

I knew Rhianna is from Barbados, and that British rock bands are generally British. But I had no idea Shakira was Colombian!

I mean the weight symbol itself is scaled. To make it look like modern phones are nearly back to the old weights they made the last bag as big as the third one instead of the fifth

The modern 170 g is larger than the older 170 g, what a crock of shit
