Scientifically cool discovery, but kind of a bummer ...
You know how Europa, the moon of Jupiter, has an icy shell that covers a *huge* amount of water -- 2X that of Earth?
it was always a very exciting candidate for "another place in our solar system where life might have emerged"
The problem is, new estimates suggest the upper ice layer is 21 miles thick -- that's 4X the height of Mount Everest
*quite* a barrier to studying the water below

@ntnsndr I'm reading Governable Spaces right now, and I'm wondering... where/if at all you see implicit feudalism crossing the line into explicit feudalism.
On one side, there's platforms like Reddit that are using protocological control to suppress dissent (arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…) and Discord that hides behind language of "servers" to mask a reality of control (something like 40,000 pre-emptive bans per year) who I don't think would call themselves feudal, but who take (explicit) action beyond the (implicit) design of their systems.
On the other, there's the examples you gave of people who call themselves "benevolent dictators" who actively wear the title even while acting more "justly" than the title may convey.
I have a lot of other thoughts on this that are backing up this question, but I'll just start with that to stick to the micro-blogging format for now lol.
In fear of more user protests, Reddit announces controversial policy change
Moderators now need Reddit’s permission to turn subreddits private, NSFW.Scharon Harding (Ars Technica)
For sure. Chapter 2 of the book argues that, with people like Elon Musk and Curtis Yarvin, implicit feudalism is becoming increasingly explicit as a corporate and political philosophy.
The "founder mode" idea also correlates with this.
