One thing worth noting is it is easier to fire something out of the solar system than it is to fire it into the Sun. In fact firing something into the Sun might actually be impossible with our current technology!

The joke is that it's happening to someone other than them.

It's obvious, giraffes have patches to fix any bugs in their original implementations.

On the one hand, you are right. On the other hand, will the consumers of robotaxis want to use small cars or will they push for full size ones?

He always struck me as one of those people who wasn't, in his heart of hearts, actually left-wing, but rather just wanted to be counter-cultural. The culture has shifted around him and now if he wants to be counter-cultural it means being alt-right.

Everytime I had a problem, I'd cast Meteor Swarm and boom right away I'd have a different problem.

I think pure outrage viewers won't switch over yet, the problem is that a lot of people have small outrage watching tendencies and once you hit a large enough overall community size all those little tendencies build up to enough to keep a community alive. Once that happens the pure viewers flood in and it becomes overwhelming.

A famous example of a deaf/blind person is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Keller - this article contains some explanations about how she was able to learn to communicate with the world.

Toxin will kill you through shield and shield gating (I think Hildryn with overshields is the exception), so if you are relying on shield gating + invis to survive then you will just need to avoid toxin damage.

Even if you work in permissive langauges like Java, if you start from the position of "this code will need to be thread safe", its still not hard to do. The problem I've seen with more permsissive languages is that external libraries have bad systems built in and even if the code you write is threadsafe the external library csn introduce all sorts of weirdness.

For example in Java, the SimpleDateFormat class which is a fairly standard way of parsing/outputting dates and is the go to example in all number of tutorials is not inherently threadsafe (and that's part of the JDK!). Someone can write sensible stateless code and get tripped up by this.
