What I've read says that this is a modular system, likely some variants will launch small air to air missles, and others use large shotgun shells to take out drones.
Could be titled "Hate Elon? OMFG would you have hated Edison! He was way worse!"
Scientists didn't start getting in the way of progress yesterday. It's a tradition:
When the dynamo prototype was finished, it operated so contrary to existing best-practice that Edison was mocked for it. John Tyndall — the physicist to whom discovery of the greenhouse effect is often attributed – wrote in the Journal of Gas Lighting, ‘It is difficult to adequately express the ludicrous inefficiency of the arrangement; but one thing is abundantly certain, and that is that the person who seriously proposed it was wholly destitute of a scientific knowledge of either electricity or the science of energy.’
The closest real world example of the Chinese Room I know about is Richard Feynman's adventures teaching physics in Brazil. His students memorized the textbooks and could manipulate the symbols, and answer test questions correctly,"because they were "almost exclusive teaching and learning by means of pure abject memory." They also never tested their knowledge against that of their friends in discussions, for fear of losing face.
Therefore, when it came to any experiment or application in the real world, the students were as hopeless as if they knew nothing. They had just been playing a symbol-swapping game.
I might mention that, believe it or don't - a living skull is translucent, and our brains can detect light all by themselves. So a mask is good, but not nec a whole solution.
In old experiments, just the light coming in under a door diminished melatonin in mice.
Not to mention the wooden beams, under the portico, which are also original. They of course, are out of the rain; so are a solution to a lesser problem, where aging is concerned.
The famous example illustrating PD created by Albert W. Tucker does have no communication - so that parties don't coordinate and cooperate with each other - but in this case with thousands of parties, there was no way to coordinate them all, or communicate with them all in time, or trust them all, so it still counts. It's possible to set up prisoner's dilemmas with communication, say in cases where it's a one off and the parties have every reason not to trust each other's word.
Taking the fuel out of the wings and thinning them makes sense. You couldn't make this fly in 1959; but I'm willing to bet that you can now with computer control. We should all be ashamed for not having thought of it, I suppose.
For that to happen, it can't be gravity that keeps a single molecule near long enough for that to happen - dipole forces at a fairly large distance in vacuum over enough time... maybe... at enough distance from the sun. Maybe. Maybe.
Static electrical field from the asteroid, stoked by the sun?
FWIW, other research shows that without soluble fiber, we can't absorb choline; we need a bacteria in the gut to transform it into a bioavailable form, apparently.
Choline is getting a lot more attention recently, from researchers.
Notoriously, MS is a disease of the last couple centuries, so far as we can tell, it simply didn't exist before that.
It is different - not metaphysically or entirely, but... echolocation for humans is rather long-wave (although it's experienced as vision.) You can't - I couldn't - see a door edge wise so I could walk into doors pointed right at me. But bats want it for insect location, I'm betting. Much more precise, much higher frequency.
I've done this. Re Occam's Razor when that principle was sacrosanct. Wouldn't do it again, I think. Those willing to reword what I wrote more strongly, got the credit, for one thing.
In the end if any one view got me kicked out of Philosophy, it was prematurely defending String Theory - just as a possibility. Politics and my being drugged and assaulted by a Professor were larger factors, though.
Both views are true, his first philosophical book got no traction. Then his Histories made him very famous, and a rewrite of his philosophical views was much better received.
These days the topic falls under "Secure attachment" as part of "Attachment theory." The phrase "unconditional love" proved thorny and IMHO ill-judged, misleading.
My experience raising children is that you're golden if the child knows you're on their side, putting their interests above your own. Helping them learn, not putting any moral puzzles in front of them that they can't easily solve, together with lots of misbehavior play so they can learn boundaries without actually misbehaving.
