Well it isn't a perfect vacuum and it does have a temperature. But temperature is only a part of the story, just like how you go hypothermic a lot faster in 50 degree water than in 50 degree air.

I think that wind farms dotted along the entire US coast would be a bad target for crippling US power compared to a few coal/gas/nuclear mega power plants.

"Launching a constellation of a million satellites that operate as orbital data centers is a first step towards becoming a Kardashev II-level civilization"

So, basically give ourselves Kessler syndrome. Or is Elon trying to monopolize orbit entirely?


You're right in the short term, but over time it does work that way. Look at Amsterdam.

I can see why that regulation would be in place though. I don't want heavy industrial machinery coming with "here's how to make it run faster and stronger but ruin the environment, which you definitely should not do wink wink."

It's a reasonable goal, but I think that one can find better ways to meet that goal than making manufacturers responsible for what the owner of the equipment does with it. That method is just insanely unfair to the manufacturer.

Can you point to a single case where a manufacturer was held responsible for what the owner of the equipment did with it?

It'll be hard to do because it's like the more restrictive gun laws. It'll never stick so they never take it though court, but they threaten it to get the conduct they want. OEMs have spent huge sums locking down computer systems "because emissions".

The EPA has a ton of ways to expensively scrutinize (heavy on the "screw") oems at their discretion so it doesn't really need to be a serious threat, just a warning.

Same dynamic as local business vs local code enforcers basically.


The CAA allows parties with no standing to sue, to magically have standing to sue, and then have their victims pay lawyers fees (or otherwise go to jail[0]). So there's no need for the EPA to get involved. You can just be sued by, say " Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment" and end up paying unlimited lawyers fees because some guy 300 miles away says you dropped a particle of carbon on them.

I've done that, but I hate the term "wet run."

I use "live run" now, which I think gets the point across without being sort of uncomfortable.


--with-danger

--make-it-so

--do-the-thing

--go-nuts

--safety-off

So many fun options.


I'm a fan of --safety-off. It gives off a 'aim away from face' or 'mishandle me and I'll blow a chunk out of your DB' vibe.

I find it important to include system information in here as well, so just copy-pasting an invocation from system A to system B does not run.

For example, our database restore script has a parameter `--yes-delete-all-data-in` and it needs to be parametrized with the PostgreSQL cluster name. So a command with `--yes-delete-all-data-in=pg-accounting` works on exactly one system and not on other systems.


It's in the UI not the command line, but I like Chromium's thisisunsafe

I've done a few --execute --i-know-what-im-doing for some more dangerous scripts

May I recommend --I-take-responsibility-for-the-outcome-of-proceeding and require a capital I?

--commit is solid too

    --moisten

Moist run is the way.

Heck, you can be on a terrorism watchlist and entirely barred from flying without a conviction

> That's because almost all of the big players in that space

To the OP's point-- there are soooo many games nowadays, that if you and your friend group can skip some of those "big players," there are still hundreds of multiplayer games to play.


Traditional news sites ideally. I don't think that people are more informed from using short-form social video. A TikTok user is not any more informed than someone who does not use TikTok.

I think this is why Lidl is taking off in parts of the US.
