What is the feasibility of changing asteroid orbits to impact a specific location on earth? What is the circular error probable with current technology?

In the article:

> IRAN has claimed responsibility for an attack on two oil tankers anchored in Iraqi territorial waters, as conflicts in the region continue to escalate and strikes on commercial shipping spread beyond the Strait of Hormuz.


In my experience there was no verification other than verbally verbally confirming address and name.

At https://covr.sos.ca.gov/ I have to positively state that I am a US citizen an tie my name to a driver's license or SSN. Neither driver's license nor SSN confirm that one is a citizen (I had both before naturalizing), but both of them are tied to citizenship information in some database. I know I had to attend the Social Security offices in person to provide proof of my naturalization in order to receive an SSN card without the words "valid for work only with DHS authorisation".

Where do you find such deals

Start on eBay and learn the off-lease companies, and start watching them directly.

Convincing / coercing a bunch of slaves to build a pyramid takes a leader.

But no amount of politics and charisma will calculate the motions of the planets or put satellites in orbit.

A nation needs more than just influencers and charlatans.

the government invented computers. you need politics to fund all of this. you are talking about triumphs of politics as much as invention. i don't know why you think i am pro influencer or charlatan...


Jobs is one facet. But I’d curious to know about inputs and outputs.

Is the US producing more or fewer widgets? Are we generating and consuming more or less energy? How are imports and exports?

If inputs and outputs are staying the same then it would support the narrative of increased efficiency and elimination of BS jobs.


And because they lied about Biden’s mental faculties - only forced by a horrible debate to put Kamala on the presidential ticket.

It was a disgusting self own. I wish the Democratic Party would accept responsibility for that duplicity.


Oh you’ll still work. As a supplicant on your hands and knees for your capitalist overlords.

This is nonsense, you can’t fire an AI and an AI will never take credit nor will it take responsibility. Humans will always be in charge, because you will never be able to completely trust an AI, because it has no skin in the game, literally.

If we could move past the empty rhetoric?

It turns out a working economy requires well paid workers because somebody needs to buy shit

Even "capitalist overlords" (why not "evil bourgeois swine", while we're here) realize that. The "all SWE replaced" jabbering is a sales pitch to the uninformed. I.e. it's more P.T. Barnum than Jay Gould.


People need to buy food. Are farmers well paid?

Which feels nice for the one doing it!

That was a prolix and meandering essay. Next time I’d rather just look at the prompts and hand edits that went into writing it rather than the final artifact; much like reviewing the documentation, spec, and proof over the generated code as extolled by the article.
