Can't the powers that be at reddit just flip a switch somewhere and remove the mods' ability to make subreddits private? Presumably if they could they would have done so by now (but if not, 🤫!!!)
Right, I didn't necessarily see it as an either/or type thing--I think we can and should do both!--however, if it does come down to one or the other, it's got to be earth first.
Does Zubrin have any ideas about mitigating the effects of low gravity on humans? The only thing I can think of are these little personal sleep centrifuges I read about somewhere that would approximate earth gravity for at least part of the time.
The magnetic field issue is a biggie, and would have to be addressed before any large-scale colonization efforts could begin, but is hypothetically solvable.
I must confess to being somewhat disappointed by BookWyrm; however I think it's still very early days over there. I wish them all the luck in the world, and hope they can dethrone Goodreads which is owned by amazon and is therefore evil. I'll be checking on them periodically to see how they progress.
Hypothetically, yes. Keep in mind that even if we could travel at the speed of light it would take something like IIRC 3-4 years to reach Proxima Centauri, and even then I'm not sure there's anywhere suitable to land. 🚀 Which leads me to: https://beehaw.org/post/546668
Reddit CEO tells employees that subreddit blackout ‘will pass’ “I am sorry to say this, but please be mindful of wearing Reddit gear in public,” CEO Steve Huffman says in an internal memo. “Some folks are really upset, and we don’t want you to be the object of their frustrations.”
Hi @jherazob@beehaw.org, finally got around to watching the video, thanks for letting me know about it.👍 One thing that really befuddles me about AI is the fact that we don't know how it gets from point A to point Z as Mr. Dudeguy mentioned in the video. Why on earth would you design something that way? And why can't you just ask it, "ChatGPT, how did you reach that conclusion about X?" (Possibly a very dumb question, but anyway there it is 🤷).
For anyone who would like to read a sci-fi series about what terraforming Mars might look like, there's The Martian Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson
You mean, like this?
🤔wish I could code...

At this point, honestly just a spreadsheet that gets synced from laptop to phone with syncthing. Boring but effective.📚

Ok, Mrs. Hedge had to explain to me what sticky caps were, and their significance; earlier I was just scratching my head 🙂

Old, but linked from Verge article: Is Reddit a better search engine than Google?
How Reddit set itself up for a fall (The Verge)
Think just a couple days. They're probably being bombarded with requests, so yours might take longer, but can't say for sure.
