Bill Burr calls on 'billionaires to be put down like rabid dogs' in podcast
  • $14M is in the reach of normal people though. With a good job, judicious spending, and a little investment luck, it’s possible to get there.

    The problem is that most people don’t have a good job.

    No one person can make a BILLION dollars though, without exploiting others.

  • Defense stocks drop after Trump says Pentagon spending could be halved
  • Crippling Canada’s military would be relatively easy. Holding the country would be absolutely impossible. It’s enormous geographically and occupation requires around 20 to 25 soldiers per thousand residents.

    We would have to dedicate a cool million soldiers for the 40 million residents of Canada. The US had only 450k-ish army members in 2023, so that would be difficult.

  • Cutting moon rocket would test Musk's power to slash jobs in Republican states
  • Agreed, though I’m still interested in some “assemble in orbit” lunar architectures. No need to lug the whole Starship out there, but it can put significant mass into orbit. You could build an Apollo style lander out of three or four launched components, I suspect.

  • At this rate, why not.
  • Seems half-baked. Well unbaked really. They make a shit ton of assumptions that I’m not sure are true.

    For example, why do they assume 90% pulverization efficiency of the basalt? Or is that a number they just pulled out of their ass?

    And does ERW work if the pulverized rock is in a big pile on the sea floor? Or would we have to dig the highly radioactive area up and spread it around the surface?

    And does the radioactive water truly stay at the site of the explosion? Or will it be spread through the entire ocean via currents?

    Cool concept but, like, maybe we should check the assumptions a little harder?

  • Yeah the whole article is a press release used by Invoke (the company) to reassure their clients that they are legally safe creating things with AI.

    Look, I think Invoke is good software, but they are being intentionally misleading to make money.
