I thought I also heard that the people who agreed to buy Twitter's debt got the deal sweetened with some XAi stock. Sooo, did that debt get paid off, and they got XAi stock. If so, buying that Tesla debt might not have…
Wait, wasn't there a "sweetener" for recent X debt buyers that they'd get XAI stock? The levels of .. self-fertilizing transactions here boggles the mind. I guess that's the idea.
People don't talk about it now but when he first started the "established" telescope making folks spoke derisively of him, his techniques, and his telescopes. Why? To start with "we" - he and his students - made the…
I made my first 10" telescope - rough and fine ground, polished, figured, and built the telescope and mount at 10 under the instruction famous (later) John Dobson in San Francisco. It's not hype to say he was one of the…
Thanks to the generosity of Stewart and Tiny Speck releasing all the artwork and other assets for the game into public domain, a few non-Flash versions of Glitch showed up. One, Odd Giants (https://oddgiants.com/) is…
Let's just hope we're not on his "People to Haunt" list.
...under "a few" to 20 kilometers of ice even. * Richard Greenberg suggests "a few" kilometers. * Robert Pappalardo suggests ~20 kilometers.
"More than anything, I think it's good for things to end" You know who else said this (in spirit)? Bill Watterson, author of Calvin and Hobbes. There are few other people I'd be proud to be in the company of :-).
So does this include paying off all their past obligations, including, but not limited to: Rent(s), Vendor Payment(s), Employee termination and back pay, etc, etc? And this are only the debts which have been talked…
There's a story that when Cameron pitched it, he wrote one word on the board and the studio was sold: $Alien$.
I often wonder if it's the writing that's bad or the translation. I really get the impression lots of the sentences and paragraphs are stilted translations which don't succeed, either because of the translator of the…
It may appear that this may get Musk off the hook for buying Twitter because "Look how bad they are!" but, as I recall, Musk's problem is that his offer with without contingency - e.g. "Yah, I'll buy it, whatever". So…
I've actually asked scammers ("Amazon" or "Apple" representatives who are calling me to help me with a "problem" with my account) this question: "So, tell me, do you go home to your Mom and say "Hey, I robbed 6 people…
Was "Manchin" taken? Seriously, they should use this mechanism to call out legislators that refuse to act on client, or, even worse, block client action. They should also include international figures - "Heat Wave…

Heh. Read the news lately? . Religious Cults. If you look at the religiously inspired insanity in US Laws and Politics recently, coupled with what's going on in, say, Afganistan, I'd say "check". . Doomsday preppers.…
The "magnificently colored images" are false colored unfortunately - the colors are derived by assigning colors to wavelengths which are faint or invisible to the human eye: purple to ultraviolet, reds to infrared, etc.…
How can you be a "former quantum physicist"? Did you somehow unlearn everything that made you a quantum physicist? Maybe you meant to say "formerly paid to be a quantum physicist"? :-)

I heard this as part of "You should think of Meta, Metamates, self", as in "Ship, Shipmates, Self". My first reaction was "So, where does you family fit into all this?" This sounds like someone who read the history of…
Agree. Wolves use a highly coordinated attack, where lead dogs harry the prey and are replaced as they tire. Also, you need more than a simple strategy to take down an animal that can hurt you by kicking you with sharp…

Sadly one of the the problems is, it's dark where it is. The mirror side is in complete darkness (because of the sunshield), and the sun side is blazingly bright (because of the reflective sunshield). This is the…
I've heard of a situation where people exercised their options at the stock's high point (because of the 90-day limit, or just plain ignorance), but by tax time the stock had dropped precipitously because of an…
As I recall, with the Hubble, and presumably the JWST, there were scientific "precedence" rules which limited access to the observational data to the scientist requesting the observation for some period of time. This…
