The Seasteading Institute

That’s a pretty impressive project.
 
While not a general-purpose seastead where someone like me could go to live, it’s still a big boost for seasteading technology.

Certainly you could grow rice on a seastead for local use.
 
But yes, transportation costs would likely make it not economically feasible to export rice from a seastead to land.

IIRC, you should be able to edit a post for five minutes after you posted it, but no guarantee that it works.
 
People complained about the forums when we were on Drupal, but Drupal was a joy to work with compared […]

Another consideration is that anything that doesn’t move is likely to eventually be grabbed by one land-based government or another.

I’m not going to merge this thread as it would be inserted into the other thread in a way that would disrupt the flow of that thread.
I’m not an expert on WordPress at all, however as far as I can tell, all of the […]

I don’t know why you would have a problem posting to your original Theo Jansen thread, but I merged your new thread into it.

I can’t find any official documentation on avatar sizes even on the BuddyPress website. Unofficial documentation on third-party websites indicates that the default size for a full-size avatar is 150×150 pixels […]

The number of voices is how many different people have posted in the thread.

Other than the occasional administrative posting, the TSI staff doesn’t frequent the forums any more.
Spam in the forums (or anyplace on the site for that matter) is handled by me, as is most of the approving of […]

Take whatever path you want. That’s one of the points of seasteading … to try different things.
But what gives YOU the right to dictate to the rest of us what kind of government we should want?

Actually it hasn’t been a year yet, not until September 3rd. That’s why your original account (Dervogel707), and Tristan’s (Sickor) are still locked.

This website is now running on the new server. There may be a few glitches as we work everything out.

The migration team ran into problems on the new server which could not be easily resolved, so that attempt was canceled and they’ll try again next week, probably on Monday.
