Actually I will be more concerned once other nations start to set up their own Starlinks. Kessler Syndrome is a question of when, not if, by that point.

Well, if the US decided to not offer medicine on a realistic price point, other nations would do what the US did with Germany's Bayer, back when Anthrax was a concern: Cancel the patent on the only Anthrax medicine available due to &qu

I have stopped writing bug reports altogether. I believe to write good bug reports, and put serious effort in it to provide test cases, describe the environment the bug thrives in, make assumptions on what may be wrong, etc. A good bug repo

Neither destroyers, frigates or aircraft carriers do what a battleship did - delivering projectiles the size of a human some 15 kilometres away in a ballistic arch with some precision. We do have rocketry that is a lot more advanced than th

The USA has lost the technology for putting people on the moon. Records were not kept, knowledge died with the engineers who built it. Materials are no longer available, some of the technology has not been built in 50 years. In the end, red

You are one of the good people. Unfortunately, many will go the easy route: What it will do is that even more websites won't be available over here, and direct to a 451 ("Unavailable due to legal restrictions") error. This fr

It's the EU way of doing things. Data retention gets killed by courts every year, and every year a new iteration is being proposed by politicians. Remember the Lisbon Treaty, which necessitated a referendum in Ireland - which was repea

Train stations dedicated to bring workers to car factories are a common thing in Germany. Opel has one (Rüsselsheim Opelwerk), so does Audi (Ingolstadt Audi), and probably many more.
