We're working on it!

It's not dead, it's still showing up in weird places you don't run linux/freebsd in embedded RTOSes which borrow the freebsd networking/wifi stack.

Also PPC64 BE may be dead from the current generation of openpower chips for the bare metal hardware, but not from the VM side. There's a weird reason there's still PPC64BE and it's due to a large three letter company...

Please explain exactly why the crypto companies can't or don't "register as broker dealers".

I suspect it is because they have to pay something to do that, and want something for free instead. But would love a real explanation.

Hey here is a simple idea... Why not do a toll? You know something simple that they do with trucks. For what I hate about this tax is what happens when you are outside of the country?

Certainly it could orbit the earth, but the orbit could easily pass through the earth since it does not interact. The reduced gravity from earth while it is below the surface will mean the orbit wonâ(TM)t be an ellipse and i think it would be unstable.

I thought there was an explanation that Theia formed in the same orbit as Earth, each at a Trojan point with the other. This is unstable and eventually they crashed into each other. Is this now considered impossible?

Not a big fan of this, but I'm pretty certain they need that money to actually replace all the working parts of the reactor. Only the concrete shell will be reused. They could probably use the same amount of money to fix reactor 2 the same way, they are just not touching it because of history.

Congratulations to Blue Origin! This is an accomplishment, and the fact that there are now 2 partially-reusable launch systems available should be great news for companies that want to put payloads into orbit.

New Glenn is a much bigger rocket than Falcon 9, and bigger than even Falcon Heavy.

New Glenn is fueled by Liquid Oxygen and Liquid Methane, so the first stage won't have coking issues like Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy. We will see whether this gives Blue Origin an advantage in turning-around and re-launching the booster.

And New Glenn has successfully launched payloads into orbit, something Starship has not done so far.

I was trying to point out how ridiculous the GP's idea is. I was not making a serious suggestion.

Why not give everybody a boat and tell them to spend all their days fishing?

I think your idea of how fast subduction happens is a little off by some orders of magnitude.

However encasing it in something that won't leak (like glass) and dumping it in a very deep and dead part of the ocean is plausible and may be the best idea we have. There is no need to aim for the subduction fault, that makes no difference.

Still don't understand. According to your own post you would use electric for "most" of your driving.

Also a Hybrid is much more efficient with gas than a plain ICE. It already has the electric motor and some batteries, the PHEV is not more complicated.

??? Huh? You said work was 5 miles away and are worried that cold will make the PHEV range only 15 miles. 2x5 is 10, and 10 15. Also PHEVs keep working when they run out of electricity anyway...

Sure sounds like a PHEV would work very well for you.

France certainly does have lots of suburbs, with individual homes on lots and strong support for cars. Lots of them. I'm not really certain what you seem to think, but France is larger than downtown Paris.

Not really, I think you could test it with any well-known figure to see if there is any bias. I suspect it will accuse anybody of rape.
