  • I wasn't talking about need or ability, only exposing themselves to extra risk, failing to discover important discoveries because they don't explore ideas. I'm sure I wasn't perfectly clear.

  • That's small enough. They evaporate quicker the smaller they are

  • Try not eating as much sugar. I haven't had heartburn since I went zerocarb*, though I suggested from that pretty badly on my previous diet

    not actually zero carb, just really really low carb, zero fibre.

  • The centripetal force is provided by your legs (and the spokes of the centrifuge)

    You're looking for inertia or the fictitious force (which makes the calculations easier): centrifugal acceleration

  • Bottle rather than cup, the water is more directed

  • You are likely right. Dog shaped but cat related

  • It's exactly 1cm short, oddly wrong

  • I have had that experience, then I realised I used oauth on that site. CTRL+refreshed the page and it did the auto login. No idea how I got a log in prompt that one time; probably clicked login before the page finished loading

    The site had disabled password login for users who had changed to oauth

  • When one provides correction for someone is much better to do that than to reply "*whose"

    You don't need to read it if you don't want to

  • It's very tempting to use that (maybe with several random usernames to select from) as the insufficiently strong password error message

    It's probably just a little too user hostile though

  • Many of those will progress to password even if the user doesn't exist

  • Wouldn't those people want to see above the clouds? When they invent flight they'll see above the clouds and might want to get higher

  • Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle's Footfall had that as a plot point. The youth of the alien invaders who were born on the ship and had never lived on a planet disagreed with the others about invading Earth as the stuff they need can more easily be found on Saturn's moons

  • If you have a species that doesn't feel a drive to explore they would never leave the place they evolved, then they would be at high risk of extinction when their climate changed with plate tectonics

    And perhaps it's the drive to explore that has humans exploring ideas

    Maybe you need to be like us to get into space

  • It's not convincing because it's impossible to hide. You always produce waste heat which would be visible (if you use 100W of solar power, you dissipate 100W in deep infra red into space)

    We would expect to see stars putting out an amount of energy for a bright star, but in deep IR as they're wrapped in Dyson spheres or swarms

  • All the "might" and "may" in articles about that planet makes me suspicious that the artists impression above will turn out to not be at all correct except for the depicted size

  • The people on the plane are supported by the Earth's air, the people in orbit are falling and are unsupported
