I took rocket fuel to just mean fuel rockets use. Some of these include highly refined kerosene (RP-1), methane, hydrogen and yes, hydrazine. The point was to ask if these microdoplets could be used to propel a rocket.

What I don’t get is why routes need to make money. This is a public service, sure it’s a good thing to have it pay for itself but the focus shouldn’t be on that.

I was thinking the the same thing. My city (Chicago) and I assume many others, have pay per use subsidized bike sharing. How does liability work with that if someone falls on one of those?

They handle about 10% of web requests according to this blog post: https://blog.cloudflare.com/why-we-terminated-daily-stormer If we trust that metric, it seems significant to me. Not what I would call small fish.

I dunno, maybe compared to what were used to but just think about it, 7 years locked up not able to do anything you want, that's huge punishment to me. But I also argue most sentences should be shortened and replaced with programs to r

If you are just using the basic service for a firewall/DDOS protection and CDN there doesn't seem to be much lock in. If other competitors come along, and they undoubtedly will if Cloudflare proves the value of the market, it shou

Gotcha, that’s actually the time of peak demand and adding a whole new class of high power consumption during that time is indeed scary. In the UK for example where it’s tea time then as well and a bunch of people put on electric kettles. U

Electricity rates and demand are insanely low during the night. In fact whole sale rates can dip into the negatives where they will literally pay you to use electricity. Aluminum smelting plants run during this time. Even if everyone sudden

Personally one of the biggest red flags for me is when a developer doesn't use libraries and writes everything themselves. That opensource project with many contributors, that has been around for years is probably going to be better th

Are there any laws you bump into selling 0-days? Honest question, I know their are laws about the actual hacking part but is it illegal to sell the payload? Obviously this is ethically dirty money I just was curious if it's actually d

I think the difference between the standard uber choice and the black option is a bit more nuanced than: > It's just a random guy with a more expensive car. The big one is they are required to be commercially registered and commerci

There definitively isn't a good case for Eyeo. See: First To File vs First To Use. The US is a First to Use country for trademark law. I'm not saying it's a clear and cut case at all but I'd actually bet on a Judge sidin

Using the PI Zero over an ESP doesn't negatively impact the experience using it. Whereas a very bloated website is going to be slow to load and use. I think there is a significant difference.

If you don't want to engage in discussion why are you even commenting here in the first place? You are saying that this gives more power to google and someone asked if you could elaborate on why you think that. Not everyone has the sa

Nearly 98% of Japan's population is ethnically Japanese. There are multiple reasons for this but a big one is how long the country maintained isolation up until recently, historically. I don't know to answer your question, people

That phrase has a long history of use way before alt-right was even a thing. I've never heard of it being co-opted by any particular group. Other than in extreme cases, that's just not how words work. Just because one group uses a

The ozone hole actually existed and was solved by legislation. If people weren't panicking about it I don't think that would of happened. I'm not sure why you are calling it propaganda.

I mean the battery technology for EV companies is their special sauce. If they are all the same that takes away their differentiator. I agree it would be better for customers but it's understandable why that isn't something they w

I don't think the suggestions OP had were very extreme but even if they were civil disobedience is a very key part of democracy. The civil rights movement at the time was viewed by many as misbehavior and extremism. I think it changed

PyQt is one of the better cross platform GUI libraries for higher level languages. Obviously all the issues that apply to cross platform GUI libraries still apply, though.

It may not make sense if all your customers are in the US but locations like Australia and others very much have an issue with latency. Especially if the server they are hitting is around the globe.

The first one looks like a big part of the functionality is from the JavaScript file. It's crashing my iPhone so I'm having trouble digging into it too much. The second link, however, does seem to be done in pure css. Impressive!
