I would love to meet someone who can do it in a double blind test with distilled water.

I once stayed in agro-hotel and they had their own butter for breakfast. It was very white, with just a slightest tint of yellow. Turned out yellow color in supermarket butter is added with carotine.

Seems like the soft landing failed. Communication with the vehicle was lost at the moment of touch down at the speed of about 40 km/h.

I beleive it is your internet is a bit in a future. Good for you, but not a reason to blame others. See https://www.fastmetrics.com/internet-connection-speed-map-us... , for example. 30-50 Mbps was median in 2020, even with

Falcon Heavy has 3 packs of 9 engines, each pack is thoroughly tested. They can treat the whole package as 3 sources of thrust, manipulating them as a one (which they actually do). Every booster has its own fuel tanks, lines and so on. Also

What's really dreading for me, is that the first launch showed, that the problem of synchronous work of many engines, which doomed N1[0], was not solved. SpaceX knew about it from the start and placed it's bet on 50 years of techn

This whole thing is not about cookies, it is about extracting value from a website users. If a website has only necessary functional cookies - it is not obliged to get a user's consent. So if you see a cookie consent popup - it is 100%

Software patents are working exactly right: if I think that my patent is infringed, I am going to the court, court checks for visual similarities and then subpoenas infringer's source code.

FOSS community would fork a good product in case the original author/maintainer selling it to Big Corp, which would decide to mess it up to stuff their new tech down users' throats.

This is not entirely correct: brain needs oxygen, cooling and toxins removal, which are provided by circulatory, respiratory and secretion systems.

In case you wonder why we need FOSS.

There are lots of advantages, but it doesn't mean that all actors would automatically stick to the truthfulness. There are also lots of advantages in being untruthful. Evaluate both possibilities is a rational behavior, and definitely

US didn't need nukes to obliterate USSR in 1945. Just cut it off the lend-lease program and attack on European and Pacific theaters at the same time. They didn't do it because US public won't tolerate attack on yesterday&#x27

Even if they wanted to - they would definitely fail on that mission. Soviets had nukes just 4 years after Americans, and in these 4 years US just wouldn't produce enough fission materials to annihilate USSR, not talking about UK and Fr

What an awful media manager he turned out to be. Really pitiful. Having his own product on fire and on the way to hell, he is childishly copying Substack in retaliation to their Notes.
