The point of doing it in orbit isn't the increased performance, it's the reduced maintenance, and reduced transportation cost. Every drop of fuel used to land and take-off has to be send to earth orbit first. If you replace that f

I expect solar infrastructure for Mars would be done in orbit and beamed down. On earth, they are produced on the ground and putting them in orbit cost way too much. If the panels are send from Earth to Mars, then dropping them in orbit mea

Raising safety issues is part of a senior engineer's duties (or any engineer, really). Since railways through Europe are a state monopoly, it's not like there are tons of people in the industry that do not work for said 'clie

The cybertruck sure has a shitty reputation, and that was before the recent recalls. On the more rest of their offer, there is heavy concurrence, both from US actors and chinese. Teslas don't sell as well as they used to in Europe eith

To be fair, xz didn't hit, xz flopped. The issue was detected before it could do much/any damage. As far as I'm concerned it's a point in favor of OSS, rather than against it. How many such attacks in closed-source progr

I mean, they did overwrite it. I would argue that video of a maintenance cycle should be kept at the very least until the next maintenance cycle. Then if something is overwritten, you still have the data. Anything earlier than that is willf

That doesn't mean they can only benefit from it, it mean they can't be completely shafted. If they get 2.4~2.5 Billions every year, or a year at 2.8 followed by a 2.1, it would be less, but not significantly less (the law of aver

Paris-Zurich is 4H, without any transfer, 5 times a day. (plus quite a few more of options under 5H with 1 ou 2 transfers) You are making better time by train, unless your actual destination was Zurich's airport instead of Zurich.
