I agree… but you only need strategically placed “hubs” that you can connect to. Similar to our previous hub and spike model for previous travel. This can bring a trip to New York -> Tokyo down to 3 hours. I still suspect that the number

While I applaud this activity… I wonder if Starship long term may make this obsolete. When you can go point to point anywhere on earth in about 30 mins, and only have to worry about the sonic boom during Re-entry, may be the more likely sol

One note: While unfortunate, and not ideal, probability of hitting anyone is relatively very small (I don’t like alarmist title, but left it as is). That said, I do think we as a planet can and should do better this day of age.

I assume most likely these are being used to defeat/render ineffective one of Cellebrite’s features. By having other (benign) data travel alongside your data... it makes it harder for an attacker to know what data is “useful”.

Just a note on this: you can’t “increase” the power output of these things. Basically you can imagine these power sources as a “heat pack” that lasts a very long time. So, while you can “store” the energy, and release it later... you can

I am also surprised, and somewhat heartened by this decision. They are basically saying they are committed to going to the moon... they aren’t going to “give it up”. However, they are implicitly saying it is not going to be a place they a

I suspect he will focus on his space venture (blue origin)... but maybe that is wishful thinking. That said, I think it can use his focus more than anything else (and he is investing 1B/year in it)

So, if you really want to learn ROS, I recommend the classes at the Construct (no affiliation): https://www.theconstructsim.com/robotigniteacademy_learnros/... While not “free”, they have been the best I found to date.

I can, but depends on your stage of the dating “funnel”. Here is my advice in a nutshell: Imagine dating as a funnel, where you have the following steps: 1. Your profile (landing page) 2. Initial message 3. Banter 4. Initial phone call 5. 1

As someone recently single for the first time in over 14 years... it was an eye opening experience to see how things had changed. Online dating is very much a skill, and books I have read point and tell me even more. My short version of wha

Completely agree, and have been extremely careful. I won’t go into the basis of my belief (which included 103.7 fever). My main point, and why I said anything at all is this: Even if you get infected, and get through it, there is no Scienti
