Depends on what emissions scenario we end up hitting. Some of them are pretty scary. You can’t say you know what will happen bcz we don’t actually know how much CO2 we will have in the atmosphere in the next century, and climate change seems to be outpacing the models right now, so we really can’t say if it will be worse or not.
I agree, most of what you’ve said is correct, but we cannot say it won’t be much worse than that bcz we just don’t know what we don’t know.
Yeah, it’s tough bcz having a habitable planet isn’t a luxury either.
They didn’t, someone made an App to interface with it. Trying to shut that down is anti-competitive.
Wow, surprising that for once Apple is the good guy here. There’s a good reason this is a bad idea, and it’s not reallt hard to see why. Circumstantial evidence isn’t evidence of an actual crime for a reason.
I mean, whether you say it’s legal or not, I wouldn’t give out my pass code to a police officer. You can get fucked on that one.
You can screech all about what he did, but if we ultimately aren’t going to stop him from running, then what’s the point of the circus?
I really can’t say, I’m not privy to any of the outer solar system projects that might be in the works. Voyager was originally intended to do flyby of the outer planets, and then it headed out of the solar system. I think the trajectory was always designed with the idea that it could exit the solar system. As far as I’m aware, we’ve done a few missions to asteroids, but nothing that is going out to do flyby of the outer planets. But, I could be wrong, don’t take my word for it. All of the stuff I have worked on has been near earth, or pointing away from the earth but still within the vicinity of L1 and L2 Lagrange points.
You’d be surprised how many missions nasa has in the works at any one time.
Yeah, it kinda is, whether you think so or not. Any spying that involves warrantless collection of citizens data is a 1984 style surveillance program, nevermind that there are literally NSA programs to do this very thing to spy directly on all citizens just cuz, what if they’re terrorists or something?
The whole apparatus is disgusting, and I’m surprised to see people defending it in any sense at all.
I mean, maybe. But you can aways catch people using traditional surveillance methods to catch shit like that. There is no need to add backdoor spy devices and APIs into every electronic device that is connected to the internet. It’s fucking unnecessary and way extremely over the top big brother, and could lead to some really shit suppression of opposing viewpoints. Just wait until a smart authoritarian person goes and fills trumps shoes, then we’ll really be in trouble.
I have no idea what Rand Paul said about this, and if he isn’t agreeing with me on this one, then he’s wrong.
Edit: Holy shit, he tried to stop the reauthorization of the bill. I can’t believe we are on the same side with this issue.
What a bunch of fucking bullshit, STOP. SPYING. ON. YOUR. OWN. CITIZENS. CUNT. BAGS.
It is completely unequivocally a violation of the god damn 4th ammendment. We do not need 1984 fucking big brother breathing down our necks all the time.
Same, for a moment I was really concerned. Voyager is like a lifetime achievement for humanity at this point. When it stops communicating its going to be a big loss for the scientific community, and population as a whole. I’m not looking forward to hearing about its loss of functionality in the next decade or so.
That’s fantastic, that means all they have to do is reset some components and it should restore functionality. I say should, it’s still a scary thing to turn on/off components om a satellite bcz you aren’t guaranteed they’ll come on. Nasa people usually prefer soft resets to hard resets of components, but we’ll see what happens.
One of the satellites I worked on had to have a software update to do a soft reset of a component every time it tried to write certain data. It was really scary bcz we thought we had lost one of our redundancies right after launch, which would have sucked.
But, we didn’t. Anyway, just wanted to give a little bit of insight into what the FOT might be thinking about while they’re trying to recover the satellite to nominal state.
So, tighten surveillance laws so when he wins he can just use them against everyone, is that how that works? There is literally zero excuse for surveillance the population with the warrantless shit we have going on right now.
I’ll vote for someone else during the primary, but until we fix our voting system, I don’t have a choice bcz I’m certainly not voting for the republican orange man child.
This is my biggest sticking point with the Biden administration. If there was another viable candidate for president, and we didn’t have our stupid ass first passed the post system, I’d vote for someone else other than Biden in a heart beat.
Treating refugees like criminals, is fucking criminal.
Seems pretty coherent to me when I’ve watched his speeches. Depending on what news you pay attention to, they paint him as a bumbing baffon who’s lost his mental facilities, which I don’t think that’s fair to say about someone unless that’s actually happening (such as for trump).
He does have a speech impediment though, which from what I understand he spent years trying to fix, so that’s easy to chalk up to him losing his mental facilities if you take stuff out of context…
What you could do instead of focusing on the fact that he’s old, is talking about some of his shit policies, or the fact that he should step aside and let the new generation of leaders take over, ya know, ones who will actually be affected by the coming climate crisis, and other major world events ahead.
I don’t know why everyone is always so cavalier about causal agism.
Did he finally figure out that supporting Israel through this isn’t a good look for him?
I’m not suggesting people stay necessarily. It’s a shiny situation
Really cool picture, I bet there’s some interesting science that came put of that
