The problem with Republican senators today is none of their staffers have normal hobbies, like sports

There are women's groups that exist in the US today, but they aren't really publicly funded and I'm not sure how effective they really are.

The permissions system for mobile apps took several years to design in the perfect way. Agents may similarly take a while for us to figure out the right level of granularity.

I do this sometimes but usually because I don't know how to spell the original word. I accidentally typed "parsed lips" last night.

Doesn't better times in the future technically mean the current times are worse in hindsight?

I do think our media can provide a better vision for the future than constant dystopias, a story about a utopia without any real problems is definitely worse medai.

If AOC runs for president the DSA won't endorse her, fracturing the left. If she doesn't the DSA will nominate several lesser known candidates, fracturing the left.

If you look at the original post, and the embedded video, they discuss the concept of thermal radiation to remove heat which is already done to cool computers by other spacecraft.

The ISS has computers, so it's technically not impossible. There's a scale/business question that is different.

There have been ways to read, harden and securely transmit data from electronics in space for decades. It's not entirely novel.

Is the book good at least even if the history isn't?

Video game soundtracks were the main thing I listened to as a kid

Does Cuba have a large drone fleet? Given the current energy crisis I don't think they could mount a strong defense.

It's amazing just how cynical this movie is in retrospect. But I disagree with the author's blame on corporations. Many people who were "mad as hell" decided the right approach was to reject New Deal liberalism and vote for Reagan's neoliberalism in 1980 (even more in 1984).

It feels like those complaints are so conservative coded these days. "Who cares if oil is $5/gallon because Iran bad?" "Who cares if strawberries are cheap if nobody goes to church?"

There's an American Indian museum in downtown Manhattan. It's a Smithsonian.

I knew this was going to happen IRL but I hoped we'd get a few more skyscrapers first.

The Great depression was so bad the government had to create a bunch of bureaucracy just to measure how bad things were.

If Mamdani can get Sunnyside Yards built it'll be great but the federal government won't give the money and it won't be built in just 4 years.

Just like all the people who move to Brooklyn and call others gentrifiers.

It's sort of odd when people say "my country" when they're American. Piker is from New Jersey just like me. Sure I can give you opinions about Ireland influenced by my Irish heritage but I don't live there so my opinions aren't worth a whole lot.
