@M_Fenix629 @projecthailmary You're right that there is a difference in time perception, but the book explains the math. @neiltyson has given a thumbs-up to the science in the book. RG only 3-4 years during the trip, while Earth experience the 12 years, each way.

@projecthailmary I might be wrong and please someone help but if you travel 11.9 light years away. You age on the space ship 11.9 years. But earth ages like 8k years.

11.9 Light-years from home. 6th grade science teacher. 1 chance to save us all. Watch the trailer for Project Hail Mary – based on the novel by Andy Weir, starring Ryan Gosling, and directed by filmmakers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Only in theaters and IMAX - 3.20.26

There are simple explanations for all these billionaires who once shunned Trump but are now back in his camp. Deals. Elon Musk called him too old and unfit to lead, but now is his biggest surrogate. Deal: unlimited government subsidies, tax breaks, deregulation and the DOJ dropping all investigations into Elon's criminal foreign allegiances. Rupert Murdock called Trump unsuited for the presidency after J6, but endorsed him via the NY Post this week. Deal: the Fox News propaganda machine stays protected and profitable. Similar deals struck with the Adelsons, Thiels and Crows of this world. The list of Faustian pacts goes on and on. All these deals are good for them, but they all come at your expense. In 11 days, you get to decide who your government should work for. You or them.

@GergelyOrosz Wait till you hear what happens in music streaming!

How is it allowed that: - Audible has 65% market share in the US for audibooks - It offers 20% royalty share to authors if audibooks are sold non-exclusive (so, outside Audible as well). So for a $10 audiobook: Amazon takes $8, publisher gets $2! 80% take rate!!

@ranman Conduit, ada, toolbox, CRux, versionset, CR instead of PR, package instead of repository...

Tell me you worked at Amazon without telling me you worked at Amazon. I'll go first. Brazil.

@TheBlindHacker @ITMikeHarrison I live outside of Tampa Florida, and I have wondered recently why our highs are only in the low 90s. Normally it would be mid-90 to 100. Don't get me wrong: it is still sticky and hot AF, but a lot less hot.

@ITMikeHarrison like our LOWS are setting records in the "dog days of August" did we get whacked by an asteroid and not know it.

So its only 74F here in the mid atlantic. and its August 21st is something wrong with the planet? Like the tilt? The angle? something has to be off right now. I am not sure this has happened We are setting record LOWS...

@TheBlindHacker I have a hearing loss and it affects my listening comprehension for sung/spoken words. i'm also an amateur musician w/focus on brass instruments. I hear and marvel at pure, round symphonic tones and harmonies. Words mean 0 to me, so I enjoy music in other languages.

SO my wife cannot comprehend i listen to MUSIC not the lyrics... anyone else just listen to music?

@astuyve Not if CloudFormation is involved...

Alright who wants to write Lambda functions for the Federal Reserve?

@kelseyhightower Consider this the "front-end" interface. The "backend" pipes carry your "payloads" to a shared underground sewer. In the country, you will have your own septic tank, and have to pay professionals to pump it out every 4-5 years. Real Plumbers know the "whole stack". Do you?

(During impeachment) This should be decided at the ballot box! (He loses at the ballot box) (incites a violent mob to storm the capitol) If he broke any laws, that’s up to a jury to decide! (A jury decides he broke a ton of laws) This should be decided at the ballot box!

@kelseyhightower My mom's LG Smart TV from 2022 got busted during a recent move, so I replaced it w/same model number from Walmart. When I set it up, I saw "AI-enabled" on a paper insert. Now I'm dreading Mom's first support call to me. #doSomethingUnexpected

I do think there's an interesting angle to this non-compete stuff that isn't being talked about. It might actually allow Amazon to recruit people it otherwise couldn't get it--people who were turning down inquiries out-of-hand over the noncompete.

Huge news for anyone working in tech in the US. Noncompetes are now banned: not just in California (like before), but nationwide. Very, very relevant for anyone at Amazon (which is the Big Tech that has enforced noncompetes even for low-level engineering positions).

@Ell_o_Punk I went to 🇩🇪&🇦🇹 a couple years ago. I just made ATM withdrawals for 200€ as needed, using my 🇺🇲 cards. Let the banks work it out.

I need to make sure that on my next travel abroad I have euros for the potty. Where do you all usually do your currency exchange? (Obviously for small amounts of monies.)

Nethanyahu is what happens when you allow a criminal to return to office.

I'm going to post this video every day until the election

The Republican 43rd President won’t endorse Trump. His VP won’t endorse Trump. The 2012 Republican nominee won’t endorse Trump. His running mate won’t endorse Trump. Trump’s own VP won’t endorse him. His last AG won’t. His last Sec Defense won’t. Wake up, America!
