'non-obese' when talking about 'tech bro' / Musk is a stretch. He probably is medically obese (above 30 BMI). I know it isn't what USians call obese, but basically, for a man, once fat can be seen on your face, you're obese (I'm an ex-obese, I know).
To start with, which opinions? I may disagree with your (hypothetical) opinion that Go is the best language developed so far. I would not call you "bro" because of that, even if you were a non-obese male.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brogrammer notes that '"Brogrammer" or "tech bro"' are "often used pejoratively to describe toxic masculinity and sexism in the technology industry".
This definition highlights how it's not merely 'opinions with which I disagree', but a specific set of opinions.
FWIW, The Atlantic is the publication which brought us the term "Bernie Bro", "to describe young, white, progressive men who, in his view, support unrealistic progressive policies and promote the Bernie Sanders campaign obnoxiously", including "sometimes attack in very sexist ways" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Bro
The connection there is the toxic masculinity and sexism.
One could also imagine a huge rotating, sun-orbiting ring with alternating openings that blinks a out message to astronomical observers, perhaps in some form of Morse code or binary.
That is what I always used to imagine as our monument, maybe the Fibonacci sequence via orbiting star shades. Or maybe that's too natural, maybe a binary sequence via orbiting star shades.
However, while I ain't no city-slickin' Kardashev Type II orbital mechanic, all those star shades might not be in a stable orbit over hundreds of millions of years. They might require some propulsion for station keeping. That sounds hard for anyone, across those time scales, especially as the star grows.
It might be "easier" for longevity, to terraform a Mercury type planet with unnatural chemicals, then smash a large off-plane comet into it, to create a band of non-star weird chemicals which would fall into the star and should last for millions of years, giving it a one-in-a-billion spectrograph?
edit: Come to think about it a bit more, I would argue that the latter solution is entirely within our technological grasp nearly today, as a pre-Kardashev scale civilization.
Peaceful protesting is generally legally protected in developed Western countries. Rioting, burglary, and assault are not, and police are legally and morally justified in using force to arrest the perpetrators.
You could do anything you want in protest. No where did I state that it absolves you of legal consequences. You protest in the form that you want, and if it’s illegal, the state will get involved.
Causation goes both ways. Intelligent, educated, and well-paid Hacker News posters often don't understand the cloud of chaos, crime, poor decision-making, and deflected blame that hovers over the lives of many poor people. Section 8 landlords understand that while such people may comprise a minority of their tenants (or not), it only takes one to ruin a building and the surrounding neighborhood.
On a certain level this is common knowledge, reflected in the real estate markets of all big American cities. Dirt-cheap housing stock can be found in large swaths of Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, et cetera. It's cheap because even the most desperate families would rather live anywhere else, around anyone else.
Prioritising business just concentrates money in the hands of people who already have money while nothing to address the day to day concerns of actual people.
In case anyone asks, "why don't they just build more Atlas V rockets," it's because they rely on Russian engines which have been phased out due to politics:
Plus, the production lines for Atlas V have already been retooled with those for Vulcan, so even if they did have the engines, they couldn't make the rockets.
IIRC ULA did have a license to manufacture their own domestic RD-180s (or was considering getting it), but the factory for those would've been very expensive and not worth it with Vulcan in its early design stages.
That's a very good point, I could've sworn Tory Bruno had said that the line had been retooled and all the remaining cores were in storage, but the closest tweet to that seems to be referring to having the engines in storage.
I think he did say the line was retooled, but the factory is used for different rockets at the same time. The Vulcan and the Atlas were always in production at the same time.
The National Criminal Victimization Survey is not some anonymous Twitter poll. It is a gold-standard statistical instrument for measuring criminal victimization in the US:
