Or healthcare… 😭

I see what you’re going for but of all the insane things the USA wastes money on, this at least has scientific value and human interest.

The cost of this mission is $4.1 billion. The USA defense budget is $997 billion.

The next highest defense budget is China at $314 billion.

The Artemis mission could be a rounding error compared with how much we spend on our war machine. I personally think there is a lot more room for criticism of the US military adventurism and all of its costs than something like Artemis but that’s just me.

Updating and Modernisation Required

Indeed.

He demands to know how she could possibly justify such an obscene display: “I would like to hear how you would explain to my children what you’re supposed to be.”

In the photo she is clearly dressed as a cop - how could he not recognize this?

This post has a link to a YT video showing this. This image is a still frame from a video camera.

I think they are saying the post above yours stunned them.

The photo is taken with multiple flashes temporarily setup by the photographer. The helmet and light are not a prop - this is a wild cave with no lights installed.

Access to Lechuguilla has been very restricted by the National Park Service because the cave has such extensive beautiful but delicate formations. As such when people go in they are typically very experienced cavers. Accidents can still happen (I actually know someone who broke their arm in this cave but their group managed to self-rescue) but the Nutty Putty scenario resulting in complete closure is unlikely as 1) Nutty Putty was privately owned where this is owned by NPS and 2) this cave is considerably more valuable in multiple ways (including scientifically as the article demonstrates). Also I just want to say that sealing off Nutty Putty because of someone’s death is just such an unconscionable action. It’s like filling in a canyon with concrete because someone fell off a cliff.

Side note I hate to call one cave more ‘valuable’ than another but I don’t know a better way to say it. Lechuguilla is basically a world treasure due to the large amount incredible, pristine decorations. See photo for an example.

Sort of all depends on what is meant by a “reasonable” person.

Maybe we are running different software versions then because on my Model 3 I have it set to cruise control instead of FSD and it definitely lets me go above the speed limit. I have it set to default to speed limit when activated but with the right thumb wheel I can adjust set speed up or down. I’ve included a screenshot of my settings in case it’s helpful to anyone.

There is a setting in the menu where you can deactivate autopilot/FSD yourself and instead have a normal cruise control function.

I think about this kind of simplistically.

Firstly, answer to yourself is it practically possible to store and use vast amounts of data safely, without risk of being compromised?

If you say no, then we shouldn’t be doing this. If you said yes:

Since you think it is practically possible to do safely, the penalty for any company who fails to do this should be instant corporate death. Automatic nationalization and liquidation to compensate the victims. People who are found in court to be responsible should face severe consequences. Criminal negligence, multiple counts.

That’s the only way I see to get all of these data hoarding fucks to take it seriously.
