   2) Artemis II is sitting on the pad ready to go. It will launch in a few months. But actually it's not relevant; the article makes no mention of SLS. There is suggestion of SLS getting the contract. SpaceX doesn't even have a time

   My first guess would a bird. Bird strikes happen all the time; there are billions of birds. Next guess would be a drone; there are a lot more drones flying around than spacecraft.

   Everyone rushed to criticise the BBC on this, all silent about the war crimes. Ofcom seems to be doing the same; nothing to say about the BBC publishing IDF statements on every incident in the war as if it were credible.

   It is relevant, because the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve hold it in BTC, not in USD.

   There is no evidence that use of tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine would spiral out of control. I like to think that the US/UK/France would stay out of it, if only because the leaders value their own lives if not those of others

   Surprised to see such large numbers for COVID-19. In EU countries, where most everyone is triple vaxxed, deaths from COVID-19 are less than 0.1%. In US the number is larger than drug overdoses. Over 100k preventable deaths a year attributab

   "91% had no automated tests at all". I call bullshit. The rest is all plausible, but startups love test coverage. It doesn't help them scale, it just helps with maintainability which is a different problem.

   Looks like the regulations are not fit for purpose. Why would companies ever improve if its cheaper to just ignore the regulations and pay the tepid fines?

    In other news, the US appears to be preparing for war with Venezuela, an invasion is imminent. I wonder if that source of thing affects the committee?

    Even if Israel actually were trying to recover the hostages, this wouldn't make sense. Over 20,000 dead Palestinian children and blocking aid does not recover any hostages. On the contrary, it only fuels the terror ideology ensuring Ha

    Any young man would probably get an attempted murder charge for that. Very incendiary ruling; sort of thing that could start a riot.

    I had my fingerprints taken entering the US pre-9/11 as a kid on a holiday with family. Wasn't any scanners back then. Good way to make visitors feel like criminals.

    Of interest: https://github.com/ericstoneking/42 A serious spacecraft simulator. Likewise developed from ancient FORTRAN code, in this case ported to C.

    "Now ChatGPT can start the conversation" By their own definition, its a feature nobody asked for. Also, this needs a cute/mocking name. How about "vibe living"?

    Moon landing is due to be on Starship to save costs, so that's not happening for many years.

    I guess nothing happens. The FBI don't even want their $50k bribe back, they just let him keep it.

    Housing is cheaper, and pretty much everything else is cheaper also. For example the meals these workers deliver are very affordable. You will only pay more for imports.

    You say this while Germany is actively supporting a genocide in Palestine. The world has really turned on its head.

    If you click on a county it gives you a breakdown. China scored 5/5 for Nuclear and Heavy weapons, 4.5/5 for political terror, and 4/5 for neighboring country relations.

    The first example doesn't make a lot of sense, because coins only ever exist in "well-behaved" denominations. There is no currency with a nine unit coin.

    "3D Rendering with Paper" might have been a more accurate title. The modelling process is very similar to regular 3D modelling. In theory, with perfect paper and cutting and gluing skills you could print any UV map and cut, fold

    I visited as a tourist/backapcker ~10 years ago, with visa on arrival. Opened a bank account by walking into a bank with my passport, and walking out 10 minutes later holding a fresh new debit card. It was the easiest of any country I&

    It says they are using a "domestic configured Airbus A321neo"; it probably doesn't have the range to make the trip with cargo. The idea being the train pilots on the NEO so they can fly/teach it on the XLR.

    The Russian/UK situation is a-typical, because they wanted to be found; Russia explicitly left a trail of Novichock as a threat/intimidation.

    Any modern engine does this automatically on PNG import, or as part of material/shader setup. You want different formats for different things, e.g AO, normals, bcs different formats have different compression artifacts.
