Not OP but basic economics dictates that high demand = high supply (i.e. low prices). The entry barrier to launching a satellite is lower today than it ever has been before. Civilian entities from private companies to high school clubs have

They are not equalizers, they are amplifiers. The steel plow fed a man, the cotton gin clothed him, antibiotics cured his cough and an airplane took him from his old country to a new one where he learned how to drive so he could deliver the

When I was still in robotics, one of our mentors had a similar quote, "if you can't Beat them with Brilliance, Baffle them with Bullshit!" It helped a lot during demonstrations.

I have no credibility to answer this question, and I don't even know what any of the words on that page mean, but is it possible that it was always the same virus and just documented under two different names? After all, pneumonia is a

Could you expand more on this? Would an airplane ridesharing service effectively constitute an "airline" legally and fall under all the same rules as e.g. Delta?

There's a funny story from the 80s in which a cargo ship crew was awarded an exorbitant sum of money from the Royal Navy when one of their Harrier pilots got disoriented and, running out of fuel, chose to land on a van parked on the de

Not OP but server costs are not that expensive in the grand scheme of things. A $5 DO droplet can easily sustain 500-1000 active users. If you were doing video or audio streaming I could see concerns, but at the core of it all the server is

Well, this makes sense, because nobody buys a van every year. It would be more interesting to see the total amount of vans purchased in the country and how many of them are 2010 models, 2000 models, 1990 models, etc. If an electric van can
