um…

Please look at the failure-rate for other space companies??

ALL of them?

SpaceX is doing more testing per month than other companies usually do per year: that seems to be the only difference: cadence.

Oh, & the fact that they have primadonna-syndrome, so they won’t work around the aviation-industry, it’s the other-way-'round, with them…

but the percentage of prototypes that don’t fail … isn’t high, in space launches.

But nobody’s suing the schools for their textbooks-with-needless-“updates” extortion-rings?

OPEN TEXTBOOKS EXIST, & school-systems ought be legally-obliged to either use those, XOR justify coercing students into economic-abuse for sake of fancier ones.

OpenStax.org

LibreTexts.org

etc.

This SHOULD be cutting both-ways: lawsuits going up AND lawsuits going down.

Since it’s only axe-chopping-down, then … obviously, then the people doing the “representing” are NOT representing the citizens in their ridings, but rather the established-special-interest-groups who’re profiting from the extortion students are currently subject-to.

Fundamentally, beyond all copyright-law, platform-exclusivity, etc, fundamentally, IF G-D put immense LivingPotential in a life, THEN it’s our obligation to be honoring that LivingPotential.

NOT to be snuffing it unless money is concentrated to a particular class, or pseudoperson, or cartel, or institution:

It isn’t that “information wants to be free”, rather, it is that LEARNING ought be free, for upright, proper, honest learning ( not evil/abuse/similar ).

The Scandinavian system whereby nobody can buy their way into higher-education: it’s merit-ONLY, & the public-education-system cannot be bypassed by money/status, THAT is more right, but I’ve no idea how they do learning-materials/textbooks.

Further, it ought be that learning & certification are decoupled: one ought be able to get learning at any institution, or even on one’s own, & then get certification independently of that-school’s-institution.

“Conflict-of-interest is the root of corruption” is a good rule for understanding why learning & certification need to be segregated, to break the cartel-system from education.

( that does, of course, require standardization of required-learning-for-specific-certifications, & many might balk at that, but if driver’s-licenses & pilot’s-licenses can be standardized, then I’m willing to bet that degrees can be standardized, in many subjects, too. )

ttbomk, emojis are legal function-names in both Swift & Julia…

The Swift example was damned incomprehensible, & … well, it was Apple stuff, so making it look idiotic might have been some kind of cultural-exclusivity intention…

The Julia stuff, though, means that you can use Greek symbols, etc, for functions, & get things looking more like what they should…

Also, I think emojis are actually better than my all-text style, for communicating intonation/emotion ( I’m old: learned last century ), & maybe us old geezers ought to adapt a bit, to such things…

That does NOT mean that cartoon “code” is good-enough, whether it’s cartoonish in plaintext or in emojis, though…

I’m just trying to keep the cultural-prejudice & the code-quality being distinct-categories of judgement, you know?

( & cultural-prejudice is an actual thing, though it’s usually called “religious wars”, isn’t it, in geekdom? )

TheRegister had an article, a year or 2 ago, about using AI in the opposite way: instead of creating the code, someone was using it to discover security-problems in it, & they said it was really useful for that, & most of its identified things, including some codebase which was sending private information off to some internet-server, which really are problems.

I wonder if using LLM’s as editors, instead of writers, would be better-use for the things?

Didn’t he get something slipped into his “big beautiful bill” which exempts him from court-injunctions?

Why should he have to comply?

Why should any of his regime have to comply?

The more that people hold they have to comply, the sooner they “have to” invoke the Insurrection Act, right?

That’s the logic they’re running on, anyways…

People’ll see: escalation on both sides is going to produce a crossing-of-the-tippingpoint, & then it’ll be Civil War Part2, but only Republicans will be legal to own guns ( everybody else “de-naturalized” with that law he’s holding in reserve, so that once everybody else is denaturalized, then everybody else can be ICE’d. So long as he holds-back on using that de-naturalization law, it’ll remain on the books, for when he needs it. & if his 1st-use of it removes all non-Republican judges, then … it’ll never get overthrown, will it? )

moneyarchy DOESN’T owe humankind viability!!

moneyarchy DOES owe concentration-of-wealth exclusive-rights.

What is surprising about that inevitability??

Feudalism is humankinds ONLY consistent form of civilization.

While Nature does democracy ( ungulates, dog-like animals, birds, etc ), humankind’s nature is too egotistical to tolerate egalitarianism or equal-validity or democracy ( we even gaslight ourselves about “democracy”, consistently labelling representative-republic “democracy”, which it absolutely isn’t:

it is “1-times removed” from democracy, & that’s its intent )

Why would this change before humankind had experienced near-fatal-consequences-of-ignorance??

The near-fatal-consequences are about to be on humankind, throughout this century, but … concentration-of-wealth as an economic-paradigm, produces exclusion-of-as-many-as-possible.

How can anybody be surprised about it?

THROUGH crushing inferiors, glorifying superiors. That’s how “class” based validity works: always been about excluding the biggest majority as it can, & always will be, unless human-nature changes.

That is its point!

I suspect that the electrical-force would be … insane, given that Quebec Hydro kept having their grid getting millions of volts, from aurora ( popping their systems )…

& if you’ve got wet, fractured tectonic-plates, with some fault-zones near-release,

& then you put a gentle, but IMMENSE geographically, force on them … then the statistical likelihood of stress-release would go up…

I’m not presuming piezo, but I’m not saying that’s wrong, either…

I’m just saying that electric-fields have proven, in space, to reach WAAAY farther than we assumed…

& if we were getting that wrong, then we may be getting it wrong in the Earth, too…

The primary force would be electric, since it’s from positive & negative plasma being pulled to different locations on Earth…

& then it should all come down to how-sensitive-the-balance-is, among the tectonic faults, & how that electric current affects those zones, including how it flows through mineralized-water…

( that 24h-delay means something: there’s some process which takes that long, for it to tip the balance… )

even milsats are engineered to presume that the Van Allen Belts are still there.

However, as the Earth’s geomagnetic pole-flip progresses ( it isn’t steady, it’s behavior is rather “quantum”, so it’ll hold 1 speed for awhile, then suddenly change-speed, as it did a few years ago…

The current north-pole is now heading, iirc, towards Russia )

the Van Allen Belts can … disappear.

The greatest pole-swing I saw on the maps of ( fossilized ) previous-flips, showed about 30-degrees of swing in a single year.

https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Map-of-virtual-geomagnetic-poles-VGPs-in-the-complex-excursion-obtained-by-combining_fig5_276481462

We’re nowhere-near that level, yet, but the standard presumption that “it won’t happen” … isn’t as solidly-based as it would appear.

No Van Allen Belts would likely remove ALL our satellites, rather quickly.

As would any Carrington event, if it kept happening sooo long that it got all the geosynchronous satellites.

Shielding has limits.

Engineer for the wrong limits, like all the ocean-ships engineered on the presumption that the max wave they’d ever face would be 40-feet high, then the EU’s satellite discovered that there really is an 80-foot wave roughly every day, & you’re murdering engineered-potential, & lives, simply by denying just how real Nature can be.

Which is normal.

All the engineering ( chemical included ) which presumes everything’s going to be fine, no testing needed…

it’s all on the same paradigm.

“That can’t happen” … “protects”, just like it did the shuttle that Feynman chewed-out NASA for…

Oh, there’s this, too:

What happens when even 20% of the satellites up there are permafritzed, by space weather?

They’re now uncontrolled shrapnel, so they don’t evade each-other’s orbits, anymore, right?

Kessler Syndrome lies that way, & even if a satellite survived the radiation, … shrapnel’s kinda fatal, at space’s collision-speeds.

Poor fools:

ICE’s REAL purpose is to be what “cleans America up” after all non-Republicans get “de-naturalized”, legally converting them all into “illegals”.

The current situation is NOTHING like what it’s going to be after Trump uses the Insurrection Act to enforce insurrection against the US Constitution, or do some equivalent thing, probably in Feb.

There is no chance, whatsoever, for the US to be a “free society” once the tipping-point is crossed.

It will be exterminating-the-woke time, all-out WAR against lives of progressives, WHILE waging war on Canada to enforce annexation ( the REAL reason he “needs” Greenland: to snuff Canada’s EU-lifeline ) & waging war on EVERYBODY in Central & South America, for imperial-conquest ( Putin’s on the same page, re Europe ).

This is all charades, compared with the phase-change’s situation.

Making-believing that the Status Quo LORD will reassert “normal” … is a lethal delusion.

Once the tipping-point is crossed, all in the US will either vow loyalty to Trump, or have no rights.

& quite possibly no life.

I predict that he is going to have a sudden and “miraculous” absolute-“cure”, but it will leave him absolutely psychopathic, in 2026 ( don’t believe it’ll happen in the little remnant of this year ).

Worse, I claim that it is actually the Christians who predicted it, a couple millenia ago.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+13&version=CJB

verse 3+4 are the key to this, from what I can see.

( I don’t give a damn what the source of a scientifically-testable-prediction is, only that it’s testable-for-validity.

From what I can see, multiple Indigenous ( the “white serpent time”, being 1 ), Muslim ( the next world-phase should last about 7-ish years, then the war-of-attrition WW3-stage should last 4-ish decades ), Jewish ( Daniel’s 6,300-days-of-hell-on-earth, being the same 7-ish years the Muslims predicted ), & Christian ( this, & some other stuff ) ALL pertain to what’s happening, now…

It’s like humankind’s collective-unconscious has been manufacturing this, in order to make it come true … ( which is exactly what I now believe: this isn’t “mere coincidence”, this is intended coincidence )

Anyways, this page https://www.benjaminlcorey.com/could-american-evangelicals-spot-the-antichrist-heres-the-biblical-predictions/ claims that the missed-assasination-shot against Trump was the fulfilment of that Rev 13 statement, but that’s wrong: that had nothing to do with it.

The MRI, the checkups, etc, are this, exactly.

& if the prediction/“prophecy” continues nailing everything, then … the world as a general-whole will be politically embracing fascism, together, under Trump’s leadership, or competing-with-him, shortly…

… which is what the damned elections that keep swinging hard-right, lately, have been declaring …

I’d wrongly/delusionally assumed that humankind had better sense than that, but … fuck.

It won’t happen before the anniversary of his inaugeration, though, I don’t believe.

Within a week or 2 after, is … probable, but there are other times in the coming year that are probable, too.

( should happen between New Moon & 1st Quarter, from what I can see, sometime in 2026 )

I wish I was dead-wrong about this, but I’ve been warning about Trump for a decade, & this perpetual-escalation-beyond-the-absurd is exactly what I was warning about, though I naively didn’t understand just how bad it’d be …

sigh
