In a "hot" situation, the ground segment is, well, "vulnerable" doesn't quite cut it. EU power projection isn't vaguely close to enough to protect all those far-flung islands that make the system work. But ther

Whatever would be equivalent to how you would be able to examine were you to buy it in person. The equivalent of a test drive, then, which is not much.

True, but they had close relationships with ancient Egypt, including various periods of rule by and of Egypt proper, and their cultural artifacts and practices were very heavily Egyptianized, to a point where it's a fine distinction wh

The "car seat" is a child safety seat, or booster seat. They were strapping an extra apparatus in on existing hard points, nothing that would bother the airbags at all. It was probably some sort of anti-theft mode.

For context, a camera monitoring the driver for attention isn't anything new or specific to Tesla. Many cars from other makes are already doing this, and they tout it as a feature of their driver assist systems.

It's just a typo. The original has "made". I was expecting the text to be a bit more corrupt, but it looks clean and is probably not an OCR type, but a normal human one.

The Best Buy house brand Insignia still has good TVs that aren't "smart". Not a lot else.

Something like staticjinja makes simple edit-side templating quite reasonable. It even does live rebuilding. Nice simple lightweight way to do static site building if you don't need all the CMS-type stuff. https://github.com

Yes, over geologic time, nearly anything has no chance of survival. And, yes, the lifetime of such a civilization may be a window that is, geologically, basically invisible. But an industrial civilization makes a LOT of stuff, and much of t

Banks and/or the Fed. Which also happens to be the easiest place to implement fiscal relief via debt or just plain creating money.

I remember when I had Google Checkout as my only payment platform. My condolences to all the developers who will now be blowing 1-3 weeks just to get back where they were.

Any test will have false negatives, and there's indication that the false negative for the COVID RT-PCR test is really quite high. A negative test should not be considered probative. COVID-19 is not known to persist for a long time, ho

You could always use a real drive for storage on some mount point, or even as an overlay on a read-only SD card. Being able now to boot directly off a SSD is more convenient, though.

Perhaps you're thinking of the pause in the AstraZeneca Phase 3 trial. That's common and it has resumed. So, in that case, no.

Just for the record, California is way off the curve here. Most states have an LLC fee of $50/yr or less (and 9 have none) making it a more reasonable proposition in those places. I'm not sure I'd pay that much for the benefi

It has nothing to do with filings. It costs the state next to nothing. It's a very-slightly-disguised franchise tax, on top of their actual franchise tax if you make any money. There are 9 states with no annual LLC fees. And almost all

NASA is required to adhere to (self-defined) planetary protection guidelines, but as yet there's no US law against it as it has not previously been considered possible for anyone but the government to be in a position to do so.

Propellant-less propulsion within the confines of Earth's magnetic field or gravity well is still pretty valuable. The entire space economy at the moment is Earth satellites, all of which are constrained by propellant.

They already deorbit Starlink sats regularly. The "prototype" birds from the first launch are being decommissioned. SpaceX could hit a button (well, run a script, probably) and Starlink would disappear within 2-4 weeks. Earth orbi

That's a PCR test, for active infection. That's not the same thing as the parent comment is talking about. Antibody is a blood test for (potentially) detecting past infection. Its public health benefits are lower and is usually no

If they had a FAQ I'd be looking for "How does ammonia power handle the many significant dangers of ammonia?" Except when extremely diluted that stuff makes diesel look like milk.
