Reply to Yikes, the U.S. is Now Using Facial Recognition Rigged Drones for Special Ops: If you're on America's shit list, bad news: a flying robot that can recognize your face may soon be coming after you. by Tough_Gadfly
They put a slamhound on my tail in New Dehli, slotted it to my pheromones and the color of my hair. It caught up with me on a street called Chandri Chauk and came scrambling for my rented BMW through a forest of bare brown legs and pedicab tires. It's core was a kilogram of recrystallized hexegene and flaked TNT. I didn't see it coming.

Cutting them down and allowing them to re-grow is actually a better way to sequester carbon.

They're both dinosaurs. This makes me wonder if the same thing happened in the Cretaceous, with groups of nimble raptor-types harassing the big lumbering but deadly therapods.

Please explain how an object on a trajectory that does not intersect with any planet gets caught in a Kessler belt.

Nuclear rockets are only deployed in trajectories that do not intersect with any planet.

Reply to Pulling together different technologies to make interstellar colonization possible by matthewgdick
We currently can't turn an embryo into a human baby without a human mother. You would need an artificial womb and placenta with zygote implantation, which is far beyond today's tech.

Of course it's unsustainable. 8 billion people need at least 4 planets worth of ecosystem services to maintain itself without permanent degradation. But even if we manage to reduce the population to 2 billion before the biosphere is degraded, we're still going to face annihilation by the cosmic RNG (GRB's, CME's, long-period comets, supernovae, extrasolar objects, asteroids, supervolcanoes, etc.).

Reply to There has been much said and sung about the "Eye Of The Tiger", but how come no one ever talks about the other four letters? by LOHare
Because those are different kind of songs. The G of the tiger is kind of a slow-rolling rap by Snoop dog. The "R" of the tiger is a riot grrrrrl anthem. T of the tiger is a child's spelling song. And the E is an electropop Kraftwerk song for some reason.
