@craigaloewen How about “antique”?

We're looking at updating a feature to be in the Windows Store as well as in the Windows image. in-Windows: Will only get bugfixes Store app: Gets new features but needs internet & store access. Which do you prefer the in-Windows version to be called: "Legacy" or "Classic"?

@MatthewStanciu @purduehackers Great post Matthew! It’s awesome to see someone at the helm of Purdue Hackers thinking in these terms. Dug up a picture of the very first PH meeting in 2013.

🪐 I wrote about the long-term future of @purduehackers, why I think collegiate hackathons today are bad, and how hackathon & hacker club organizers can keep them magical after they're gone ✨ Super proud of this one. Give it a read! Link below

@os_viraj Wonder how this squares with medical professionals saying stuff like “more health data results in worse patient outcomes”. Will AI finally help dispel this? youtube.com/shorts/hEkSzrz…

@CzechArtGirl They made a Dodge commercial for their helicopter youtu.be/SoQA0GrZuf0

It's a Kaman K-max. Heavy lifting helicopter. There's only 100 worldwide or so. No need for a tail rotor. With a full tank of fuel they can lift 8000 pounds!

@ID_AA_Carmack How about flying under your own power with one of these?

Reading fiction with a low-gravity environment had me wondering if Batman style leaps from tall buildings in a moon dome with just a cape would be feasible. No — 1/6 gravity still gives a human terminal velocity of 49 mph given enough height. Even wingsuits would still go splat.

@VirajSinha Hopefully they don’t share this bit of computer aided modularity: youtube.com/shorts/tr0ykpc…

@Notselfless @MarcusHouse @MKBHD @NASA The justification for not putting cameras on that thing makes no sense to me. Hard to pique the public’s interest if there’s nothing to look at.

@MarcusHouse @MKBHD This sort of thing is important to pique public interest.. Wish @NASA massively upgrades their systems in this regard. The launch footage of #JWST was a huge let down. Public interest drives sentiment driving future funding.

The most amazing part of the #SpaceX COSMO- FM2 Mission was the tracking camera from the ground. Just check out this madness. How anyone can not be amazed by this is beyond my comprehension. 🤩😍🥳

@retttx @craigaloewen ?

How big is the team working on VS Code? Would take me an hour to read these release notes.

@VirajSinha How will the NTSB evolve to provide safety ratings for a world where every car has a unique, user designed body? Manufacturers today have to send lots of the exact same car to crash test in different ways.

Aside from developing the most precisely tested theory in science history & winning a Nobel prize for it, Richard Feynman also liked to draw & would frequent strip clubs to work on his physics problems: work notes like these were discovered after he died buff.ly/2FWs8gn

@UrbanistOrg How can we get involved to get this fixed? Who is the person in Seattle’s government that could decide to eliminate cars from Pike Place?

@Noahpinion Groups of government employees should not be able to subvert the will of voters through collective action.

@Noahpinion Gov employees have a mechanism to force change in their workplace via the democratic process. It’s private businesses where there is no such process that would most benefit from unions.

If you could permanently restore private-sector unions to their historic peak of strength, but only in exchange for banning public-sector unions, would you do it?

@Roosiehood What’s the story here? I live just next door.

Bless the Edith Macefields of this world.

@grantgumina @cold_code Yeah, they should be moderated but using our legal system not TOS.

@cold_code @jackchammons It's weird we don't have "internet courts" (similar to how we have family courts) to adjudicate these issues. The body of law around the 1st Amendment has given the US a competitive advantage (historically) for making tradeoffs around liberty and collective well being.

The US government should guarantee 1TB of DDoS protected, CDN storage to every American. Internet companies have the right to remove any content they don’t want but free speech is becoming increasingly tied to your ability to get hosted online.
