Rubio recently grew in popularity a lot, so JD isn't the only option.

"Their way" - some way has to be chosen, without too many back-and-forth.

In addition to technical there could be other reasons to prefer a solution. Some of those reasons can't be stated - for various reasons, like privacy or intuitiveness.

There are some reasons people like that are rewarded, and not all of those reasons are bad.

What would you do if you need to encrypt data using analog computer?

Suppose you have some analog dataset, say 1000 readings between 0 and 100 V, and your sensor allows to resolve the values up to 0.1 V precision. Now you need to encrypt that data before, say, sending them over radio. How would you do it?

Can we really accelerate any probe to faster than 1% c? Or 2% c?

Can they make a city the same way Starbase city was built in Texas, or the laws are sufficiently different?

I wonder - to grow, say, 15% per month people have to pay the founder specific money for the product. Why exactly they pay that amount, and not less, say? Is it because they want founder to become a billionaire? The growth is measured in money, not product/service transactions.

How much water is contained inside the datacenter at any given moment? That's how much water is taken from circulation by this datacenter. Is it enough to worry?

Looks like an opinion. If structural principles are legally binding, we can remember other cases from other areas.

Why this suddenly becomes urgent? For long time we had automatic emails with "thank you" which weren't written by humans, why something is different today?

I'm not sure the author understands the nature of the disagreement. A few times he put a sentence assuming it's an agreed upon fact...

For every human onboard ISS there is always place in the docked spaceship. Exceptions: when spaceships break, replacements are usually sent - like, when Soyuz lost coolant or Starliner was considered too unreliable. While waiting for replacements, those ploblematic spacecrafts still serve as lifeboats, except maybe Crew Dragons can carry more people than those 4 they usually carry...

Telll it to my friend who was escaping a country under sanctions and had to move his money elsewhere. His bank didn't have that miraculous power, but Bitcoin did.

So the currents will continue to be tracked, no? :) Seriously, we should find out why this system was desired and created in the first place to answer this question. Good question...

If jury is still out on positivity, long term, of AI, I'd really like to see arguments for that. Historically all - almost? - technical improvements were net positive; even some blunders had upside. AI is dangerous, yes, but e.g. fission was developed for the bomb, and now powers significant numbers of households worldwide - the tech less than 90 years old.

I don't think RUD implies launch. It can happen with an engine alone, without rocket.

Can't we, at worst, use Apollo-level suits - maybe actial suits? - for small Moon walks?
