Ew the new one sucks. Why can’t they spend the money that they have on important stuff instead of changing logos every couple of years? Uk, considering that their funding is going to dry up because of the Google anti trust case?

Hopium question: Can Google be sued for this as anti-competitive behavior and fined for “lost revenue”?
That’s the way to go! AI isn’t bad. Closed sourced AI is.
Oof. Tankies rlly r weird, huh
I think they’re responding to a transphobic comment and not being transphobic themselves. I think they’re addressing a far left, socially conservative conspiracy of saying “trans people r bourgeoisie inventions for culture wars to distract the public from the class war”. This person is saying that this is a far fetched idea.
I’m correct in understanding this, right?
Most cis sportswomen have naturally elevated “masculine” hormones. Trans women see many physical changes (like fat redistribution and changes in muscle n fat mass) after commencing hormone therapy. Therefore, the “advantage” that they have over cis women is negligible. It is in fact comparable to the advantage that some cis women have over other cis women (the hormone thing that I mentioned in my first sentence).
But no, being assholes towards trans people is cool, and there clearly aren’t other issues to worry about. /s
I’ve no idea how stating this is relevant to the conversation
Replace the word “furry” with “cosplaying”. Is there Ironman-Spiderman porn? Yes. Is cosplaying just about this? No.
Being a furry isn’t always about sexual stuff. It can just be about being cute and silly. For example, you’ll see kids wearing furry ears, tails n stuff like that. U’ll see kids talking about their “fursona” (a description of what their furry alter ego would look like). Being a furry is primarily about art and just doing fun stuff.
Now, about furry porn- an artist is probably going to draw dicks n boobs some time in their life. Humans are generally very sexual creatures. They’re going to introduce sexual stuff in practically anything that they do. That’s furry porn. It’s not because being a furry is about porn- it’s because being a human is about porn.
Have u tried changing user agent? Get an add-on on Firefox with a similar name and change to chrome. The website will now think that u’r using Chrome. U could even change ur displayed OS if it has that big of a problem with Linux.
American politicians then: “The solution to a bad man with a gun is a good man who can shoot really sticky stuff really far without getting tired”.
Which would be incredibly cheap even in 2024 (compared to the amount of resources being transported).
Whose cost would be energy and light wear and tear on the railgun. Which won’t be much at all.
(I thought by “travel”, u meant having to use spaceships to transport material which would be significantly more expensive).
I’m not rlly that aware of how boring works, so I’ll take ur word for it there I suppose.
Any moon mining is going to be expensive because it’s the moon. That kind of travel is going to be expensive.
For this tho, u don’t have to “travel” anywhere. U just build a one time installation on the moon, which would be expensive. Once it’s built, u just launch stuff from the moon using a railgun like system with enough velocity to deorbit it, use the earth’s atmosphere to slow down enough that the material doesn’t vaporize on a crash landing in a designated location. This would most likely be how we would get our material in the future.
I’m sorry you feel that way. I think I explained my position very clearly whenever I disagreed with you.
I did “look into stuff” as you asked. Perhaps I didn’t look into the resources that you were talking about. Maybe you should’ve linked those sources in your post instead of saying “go look it up”.
I do listen to what other people have to say. That doesn’t mean I have to agree with it always, no? Whenever I disagree, I always explain my underlying motivation.
I really cannot see how I was arguing in bad faith anywhere above.
Don’t parrot what idiots like Musk say.
Aren’t you parroting what others say too though? You haven’t provided a single PHYSICAL problem. You are just telling me, “it doesn’t work that way”, without giving a single thesis statement.
And if people tell you there’s huge physics issues, think about that instead of waving it away and say “it’s just engineering”.
I have. I’m not saying that we will have anti gravity spaceships. The physics for anti-gravity simply doesn’t exist. I am talking about a vacuum tube. That is the biggest holdup. We have already built small vacuum chambers. The physics is there. HOW is this a PHYSICAL problem?
Give me one single reason as to why the laws of physics prevent hyperloops.
The hyperloop is a dumb project today. Think about it this way: U live in Siberia in the 1600s. U just discovered oil (and also processes to refine it). You most likely would make heating oil from it to keep you warm. But then if I told you that you could also use 1000 times the amount you use in a month to go to America in just a few hours, you would probably call me a dumbass. Would you be right then? Yes. Would you be right now? No.
I don’t think AR/VR will play a big role, I was talking about the acceptance and incorporation of digital systems in our every day lives.
I mean… AR/VR is a step forward in audio/visual IO systems. You technically don’t NEED an HD monitor and a good camera to have a video call. But it definitely makes things easier, no? AR/VR right now sucks. Although it doesn’t mean that it has to suck 100 years in the future.
Plus there’s already plenty of resources online that go into great detail about all the things that are totally impossible.
None of them talking about the physical impossibility of it. All issues of the hyperloop are economical ones. My premise removes these issues.
as you even start to contemplate this you run into huge issues.
Them being economical issues. NOT physical ones.
They still need fuel, they still produce nuclear waste
Sourcing fuel is incredibly easy if we have a mature nuclear fusion energy supply ecosystem. Most likely, nuclear fuel would be deuterium and tritium. Sourcing deuterium is very very easy. For tritium, you would just need breeding blankets at reactor walls. I don’t see how this tech won’t be mature a 100-150 years from now. As for nuclear waste, the fusion processes produce negligible waste. It’s the breeding blankets that could be the source of waste. They too won’t produce waste that would have to sit for more than a 100 years without being recycled/repurposed/disposed off.
the unwarranted fear people have towards nuclear fission
The politics around this is changing slowly. I don’t think it would be that many decades before people start liking nuclear fission again.
Agreed. The Concorde wasn’t sustainable.
In my premise, energy is abundant. Resources are abundant.
Also, my comment about speed being good was more from a civilisational perspective. Going from running to horses to rail to the plane (for long distances of course) had incredible advantages for humans. My point was that the Hyperloop would be a natural extension to this whenever the resources and necessary tech become available.
Sure, u won’t need to mine the moon to do this. But resources would be incredibly cheap WHEN we start mining the moon.
I disagree with the energy part though. I’m pretty sure we would need A LOT of energy to dig continent spanning tunnels. How many drills would we run out of? How much energy would be required to recycle these drills?
The point is, the resources required for Hyperloop construction would be cheaper when we uk… Increase their supply (by nuclear fusion or lunar mining). It would thus be kinda economical then, no?
What even is Pinterest? I see people using it as social media, but I never got what it was for. Isn’t it just an image hosting site like Imgur? Or is it more like Instagram?
