“No way to stop this, says only nation where this regularly happens.” Is probably the most prophetic so far, since it gets redecorated and posted again every so often.

Rober seems to think so, since he says in the video that it’s likely disengaging because the parking sensors detect that it’s parked because of the object in front, and it shuts off the cruise control.

They already have trouble enough with trucks carrying traffic lights, or with speed limit drivers on them.

Instinctively, human brains generally don’t like large objects coming to them unbidden at high speed. That isn’t going to help things, even if you’re consciously aware that the wall is relatively harmless.

We also don’t know if it was just that gene that was altered, or if there are other effects. Modern gene editing isn’t so precise that we can edit just the gene we want. A lot of genes with similar sequences as the target can also be affected.

It’s basically like firing a shotgun at the house they live in. You might hit the one you want, but you may also hit other unrelated genes in the process.

It’s arguable that it would stop completely, if it survived falling out of the warp field.

The times we’ve seen ships fall out of warp for one reason or another, they typically slow to a stop, rather than keeping all the inertia like we would expect them to, or stopping instantly like they would if the warp field was doing all the work.

Would it stay in high speed motion until interacted upon by something else (meteoroids/dust/gravitational fields)?

No, we’ve seen that warp field/engine failures will cause the ship to drop to sublight, if they don’t slow to stop, rather than maintaining their current speed.

Or would it disintegrate under this kind of speed?

If it crosses the boundary of the warp field, it might be disintegrated by the resulting stresses, since warp field boundaries can be pretty rough.

Not if you’re in a place that relies on satellite infrastructure, such as places conventional telephony doesn’t work in.

Yes, was poking fun at Ed’s only error message being a relatively unhelpful ?.

?

It’s also self explanatory, which is great if you’re new.

Ed and Vim are basically arcane by comparison.

Does it count as user error if the user has to micromanage the compiler?

It makes sense in war, since people need normalcy. Partaking in Ramadan is a nice grounding thing to do when everything else is exploding, and other normal traditions aren’t on the table. Religion is good for that.

Plus, Ramadan traditionally has exclusions if you’re not able to safely partake, like if you’re very old, very young, or ill. At worst, you simply have to pray for forgiveness for breaking your fast early (similar to if someone made you eat pork without your consent), and make up for it later.

They’re likely also winding down development in favour of their new LLM, which certainly isn’t going to help matters.

If it wasn’t for the whole forcing people thing, they probably would.

Their tech is much better, and you get as close to immortality as you can get, since your body is maintained by their tech, and your mind gets added to the hivemind.

Short of death, you’d never have a medical problem again.

Not him, but a bunch of other people on his political party.

It does feel a little like an attempt to legitimise it, so that criticisms are flipped off as mental illness, and/or an opportunity for institutionalising/excluding political opponents for much the same reason.

?

We’ve also spent a lot of time and effort genetically modifying apple trees to get more, tasty, feuit, and less seeds.

Just compare a modern banana to a wild banana.

Not just, but he literally advertised himself as not being technical. That seems to be just asking for an open season.

They’re symptoms, not the problem. Even if they were vanished from existing by will of a djinni or something, another would just take their place.
