It’s like bitcoin mining all over again. And providing roughly an equal amount of value.

Wow I didn’t know there was color photography in 1800

They’re not wrong…

In the US this would probably turn into a point of pride pretty quickly.

How well-developed is this telekinetic power? Could I, for example:

• Continuously turn the air 10M around them into a horrific miasma of farts by doing organic chemistry with nearby carbon and sulfur sources?
• Always make it much too uncomfortably warm near them by raising the local temperature?
• Condense the moisture out of it so that the politicians are always dripping wet?

I think in absence of doing real harm to them the best bet is to make them and everyone within 10M of them as extremely uncomfortable as possible.

Bummer, I was hoping it’d be Great Big Observatory given how silly some astronomy naming conventions are.

Nah nothing fun, just tanks of propellant.

He was probably pulling mid-7 figures for the last 3 years, so at this point I’d guess he just has 3 chickens in the backyard of his palace so that he has something to put on his LinkedIn profile.

I like to imagine there’s a Church of GPLv3 in this universe where the fundamentalist copyleft zealots pray to a warhammer-style forever-preserved skeleton of RMS.

A couple prices that went up also have come down, but not by as much as they went up.

I wish there was a good way to track this, because you know a bunch of corps are going to be trying to pass the buck (while also keeping it)

To save you a click:

• they make propulsion modules to move satellites around in LEO/GEO
• they raised $300M
• because we’re militarizing space

oh good point (and not entirely obvious).
