You can change your attitude here and play the game of trying to lose whatever karma you have. They won't let you remove posts, so they can have toxic ones as well. I find a sort of balance in being a vitriolic jerk on here.
A gun is substantially more dangerous than a jar of bees. Dangerous things warrant suspicion. If you don't see that, I question your abilities in the realm of risk analysis.
> A gun is substantially more dangerous than a jar of bees.
It also serves an actual purpose.
If you are just suspicious of anything "dangerous" without appropriate context then I question your peace of mind.
I was raised around law-abiding gun owners and have never felt unsafe in the presence of a firearm under normal circumstances provided the wielder is not intoxicated or otherwise exhibiting alarming behavior. It sounds like you just aren't used to guns.
Our perspective is valuable because we’ve gained extensive experience across both Europe and the U.S., working in startups and renowned companies. I (Yusuf) have worked with Amazon, Workday, and TripAdvisor, while Ender has worked at Microsoft, Meta, and Uber.
Our combined expertise spans multiple industries, leadership roles, and technical challenges, making Software Engineering Handbook a unique blend of insights from both continents. This diversity helps us provide practical, well-rounded advice for engineers looking to excel in their careers.
I see, so when pursuing future technologies we should stick with what we know? We typically research what’s achievable in the near future, however the mechanics for purifying heavy metals with centrifugal forces isn’t new fwiw. It’s how we made atomic bombs.
Tone policing is a weak retort. If you'd rather we just sing Kumbayah and talk about science fiction then yeah! We could even staff these centrifuges with autonomous bipedal androids a la Lt. Commander Data. Those are becoming attainable in much the same way as your mechanically simple, cost effective, never been built zero g metal gas centrifuges. Learn something with that big brain of yours.
No, I’d rather people just not be assholes but some are simply incapable of it.
I’d note you’re responding in a thread about asteroid mining becoming more attainable, at a time of large language models in the last two years being able to remarkably emulate natural language beyond anything dreamed of three years ago, with low earth orbit lift a commodity orders of magnitude cheaper as we work towards a moon base, in the final stages of preparing an interplanetary starship built by a privately owned company whose owner wants to personally colonize another planet, while humans are only years away from potentially being redundant at driving (and possibly many white collar professions)… and none of that was made possible by people with no ability to imagine a future like yourself. Enjoy your petty and cynical existence of insulting people on the internet while the rest of us make the future you were promised despite you.
