During corona I build a fold down thing that put my webcam at eye-level on my monitor. turns out with a large enough monitor it really isn't that bad to have the camera in front of it.

there is a source of volatiles "close" by - earth. with all that water in the atmosphere you can build satellites that orbit low and siphon it and other valuable gases like nitrogen off. The Satellites would use aerodynamic effect

I find most interesting about Seveneves is how the technological assumptions have changed since the book predates the first landing of a falcon 9 booster stage. Getting the tin cans into orbit is described as using traditional use-once rock

if you ask for less than a court battle would cost you can just ask for slightly less than what that would cost the other party. In the US each party pays their own cost generally.

It costs time of people who don't weant to spend the time to decide if a cookie banner is needed. its the default. it COSTS money to decide not to have it.

The issue is also that the cookie banner has become a meme for non technical "deciders". That means even sites that do not track you will have the banner.

I see S3 as another victim of the enforced convergence of PC and mobile that MS did get into with Windows 8. On paper modernizing S3 made even sense since getting all the system components to work nicely with S3 is not an easy task. What wa

well AFAIK a simple session cookie doesn't need a banner. Also i think if you do everything local to your system you don't need one either. The point where you need one if you use any system that utilizes third parties to track th

A quartz shield doesn't help if it gets coated in iron by a hot plasma. I think the only solution would be sveral shields you can jettison. The glas used would probably be ok if the flaps held up.

As AngryData said - they are the left edge of the democratic party. A party that is sorta center right? There is a limited amount they can do in that enviroment and they do not turn the party left leaning in any way.
