This post sent me down a rabbit hole.

The funniest one is the Japanese “chuugi”, translated to “shit stick”.

Good God there are so many assumptions about my character based on this post. Thought I was escaping the Reddit hive mind mentality coming here, but seems like it’s the same shit in another place.
The message is fine. A refugee story. The plight of the impoverished. Fine. It might have landed better for me if there were more sci-fi aspects involved.

It’s not that I don’t understand there are political themes in sci-fi. It’s that it felt like I was being beat over the head with it in D9. Also, just not a big fan of being told something wild exists in a movie but it’s never exposed because the budget doesn’t allow for it.

Inception, Interstellar, Star Trek movies, Star Wars (originals), probably some I’m forgetting.
- Comment on We can dream right 2 months ago:
I’m fine with it, it’s just that the sci-fi is a thin veneer for the political message.
- Comment on We can dream right 2 months ago:
Disagree.
- Comment on We can dream right 2 months ago:
This movie was okay, but I don’t really consider it to be sci-fi. It’s more a political drama.

I love this for some reason.

It will be enforced through the app stores, I imagine. You raise a good point, though, that people will still be able to access TikTok through mobile web.

Dispersion compensation and FEC are separate layers of the cake, and work hand in hand.
- Comment on Researchers unlock fiber optic connection 1.2 million times faster than broadband 2 months ago:
It’s much more than just 100Gb/s.
A single fiber can carry over 90 channels of 400G each. The public is mislead by articles like this. It’s like saying that scientists have figured out how to deliver the power of the sun, but that technology would be reserved for the power company’s generation facilities, not your house.

We already have transceivers that perform forward error correction. That technology is a decade+ old.
