    Insurers balk at paying out huge settlements for claims against AI firms

    aside from the standard "consequences of their actions" part... gonna be rather hard to get investors when its just gonna pay for lawsuits

    After RFK Jr.’s shenanigans, COVID shot access will be a lot like last year

    I've been told that you if they question you as a "normal adult", just tell them your immuno compromised. It works

    Wikipedia rebuts Ted Cruz attack, says Cruz just doesn’t understand the site

    The fact that Ars wrote this article means cruz already won. Its him "attacking something" to distract from his "lets stop attacking pedos" comment. This will 1. play will with his base 2. base will see the adults in the world upset over it and gloat 3. cruz will get points and bury his...

    Pentagon contract figures show ULA’s Vulcan rocket is getting more expensive

    "well compensated" based upon what spacex decided was "good compensation". With the caveat that EVERYTHING was going to be ruined, so it was a false choice to begin with. Take the deal at gun point or suffer. Queue narrator: It wasn't actually "good compensation"

    Pentagon contract figures show ULA’s Vulcan rocket is getting more expensive

    wow, the musk boosters really showed up in the last day. Suddenly anything that doesn't say "ula bad, spacex saves babies" has been power downvoted. ars is still just as infested with people unwilling to discuss logical points instead of worshiping someone.

    The paradox of tolerance and moderators

    sure, not everoyne is on board with what they call "childish names". However this is aside the fact that mods will ban people who using a "childish name" about people who want to end the lives of the posters. Thats more the issue. For many here, imagine if this was discussing yourself, or maybe...

    Starlink’s ambitious mobile plan could be trouble for Apple, AT&T, and Verizon

    musk already killed off anyone in government who might not approve whatever he wants.

    Pentagon contract figures show ULA’s Vulcan rocket is getting more expensive

    uhhhh... "star trek copied us" is pretty standard gop denialism. I'm pretty sure the space force did not exist before 1966.....

    The paradox of tolerance and moderators

    The paradox of tolerance is extending tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance. wiki link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance Specifically looking towards the sad state of...

    Pentagon contract figures show ULA’s Vulcan rocket is getting more expensive

    sadly this. It totally screwed US military coordination across the board. Everyone who wasn't a gop pet was saying it was too much at once. The choas was not worth it. Imagine having 2 political parties that cared for this country instead of just the one (democrats).

    Pentagon contract figures show ULA’s Vulcan rocket is getting more expensive

    People need to remember the rockets are not equivalent. falcon9 is a good truck for hauling stuff, but its not ideal for all use cases (no rocket is). Anything requiring vertical integration cannot launch on spaceX. Anything requiring more space than the relatively small falcon9 fairing cannot...

    How would you fix the young male problem?

    the more i think about it, I feel that men get too much of the blame for republikkkans. Almost half of the people who voted for trump were women. That really gets overlooked

    How would you fix the young male problem?

    well true. I honestly cannot stand to even listen to him. However he obviously has some unreproducable charisma as much of the country reacts to the creep. The gop has been selling hatred and lies for decades, but he somehow makes it ok to hate in ways others don't. Everyone else needs to use...

    How would you fix the young male problem?

    Thats the funny part. The gop idea of masculine is the weak insecure "alpha" who is constantly afraid of their own shadow and puffing up. Its generally nice of them to label themselves as a warning so we know what weak cowards they really are

    How would you fix the young male problem?

    like it or not, theres something magic about trump, thats undeniable. However trump is done. I have doubts that he will live to the end of his presidency (old age, not because of blessed premature release). Assuming we have another real election, there won't be a trump 2.0 All the trump posers...

    COVID vaccine locations vanish from Google Maps due to alleged “technical issue”

    "technical" is code for bullshit republikkkan antivax reason. If children are not dying, republikkkans are not happy

    Lull in Falcon Heavy missions opens window for SpaceX to build new landing pads

    omgosh is this true?! While they both did land, its REALLY a serious lie to not just have one camera blank, or SAY its the same camera. Instead they offset the camera to make it LOOK like its both of them? Silly to expect anything better from spacex i guess?

    Lull in Falcon Heavy missions opens window for SpaceX to build new landing pads

    I feel like your confusing a few things. Imagine Blue starts trying to land boosters, if they say "were gonna crash this booster to test landing stuff", its not gonna be a "mishap". It will perform exactly as planned (Assuming something doesn't go wrong). Spacex made it easier for everyone...

    Lull in Falcon Heavy missions opens window for SpaceX to build new landing pads

    I doubt it'll have any impact on turn around. The extra hour of driving them down roads isn't that big a deal, especially when they aren't pushing for a one time PR fueled "turn around". As the article mentioned, they still need to make a new 2nd stage for every launch.
