While I really really hope no one would be that stupid as to risk a Kessler syndrome... I think it's really likely in a very specific situation: A non-space-dominant power (so not Russia/China/USA) gets into a tiff with someo

IANAL but this change doesn't seem to make sense from any sort of "sanctions" perspective. Sure, block sanctioned countries from accessing your website or registry, etc - that makes sense. But removing providers? That doesn&#

That's exactly it though, these CEO's are so divorced from reality that they forget. Schmidt knows how silicon valley really operates. Because he's probably been involved in a lot of this shitty corporate behavior.

This is really not a shock. If you wanted one, you bought one already. But the number of people who wanted one is fairly minimal: Super early adopters, those with more money than sense, and developers. It's too expensive for the every-

Ironically this makes me more likely to buy one. If I can make the smart thing local and/or home assistant controlled, and kill their internet connectivity... I'm thinking that isn't so bad. Don't get me wrong $2-4k is

This is happening in a lot of places, just a few days ago I went to a restaurant (California) that had a sign up front saying "We are now Cashless" and touting why this is better for the staff. https://imgur.com/a&

It's a shame this has to happen. I always hope that something could be salvaged and used for Lunar Gateway, or... something. It's still my hope that NASA uses the remaining return trips to bring back as many "souvenirs"

No one expects Elon timelines to actually happen. Also, the other option is... Boeing? And they're doing SPECTACULARLY well right now. In Space, on a plane. If it's Boeing, you're better off not going.

You don't need a lot, just something lined up on the correct axis with enough engines and fuel to slow the station down enough to fall out of orbit. The station has its own propulsion (on Zvezda & Zarya, I believe) even with most o

Saw this at OpenSauce this weekend. Very cool concept. Obviously the price per unit (card) of the DevKit is a bit...steep. But at mass production scales it could be very reasonable. Especially if there were a dozen or more card games you co

Man. Tonight is a harsh crowd on HN. I agree, the headline is... misleading. Yes, ChatGPT made a mistake, but the issue is multiple. Perhaps it would be better if the headline was something like "A ChatGPT mistake taught us a $10k less

The iPad Pro plus keyboard folio was thicker and heavier than a MacBook Air. So honestly, this change is welcome. If they can get the keyboard+ipad combo into the same range as the MBA…I’d take the iPad instead. Today I’m at a conference an

The airs screen was good but not great. Not compared to the 13” pro. As for peripheral, not at all. My iPad lives mostly in its keyboard folio. I also regularly use a USB-C dock with it for either Ethernet access, HDMI output to hotel TVs,

> 1. "Call us" pricing works because for big enterprise deals (4-7+ figures), there's often some serious negotiation involved and if you just show a sticker price up front, you risk a) scaring the buyer because the price i

That would be appreciated. I saw the homepage and my first thought was "Ansible is python. How are these things different?" Obviously pure python vs yaml is one thing. But beyond that it's not clear. Perhaps are specific use

Brave would grow more if it stopped stuffing in every crypto blockchain feature it possibly could. I swear, every 3rd update adds some new annoying feature to turn off. I've been daily driving Brave on every machine and device I have f

This is cool, no doubt about that. And fascinating due to the sheer complexity and amount of fine detail work required. But. Uh. For all that work, Why not upgrade it to an amount of storage you couldn’t otherwise get? Or at least max it ou

M5Stack has a lot of cool little "almost ready to go" modules, both core (esp32 based typically) and accessory (ex sensors). They're relatively inexpensive and great for hobby/prototyping. One of the things that might be
