> it's about what happens when they're busy and don't show up for three months This sounds like a problem with the process and contracts, not something that cries for a technological solution.

In which fantasy land would that be the case? A 400Wp panel won't be able to provide 400W most of the time to begin with. Unless you're in the middle of a desert near the equator and have a sun-tracking installation, weather and v

I agree, there's just too many variables here. The drug itself also changed over the years with current breeds having way more active ingredients than the ones used decades ago.

They still are. The lower orbit only means that the satellites themselves deorbit within a few decades at most. Debris from a collision, however, goes every which way including higher orbits and can still damage other spacecraft. The satell

For the foreseeable future it's mostly physics. The "all the time"-part is of course something that can be worked on even without changing the hardware. A simple switch on the outlet to turn it off during the night or if ever

And you are ignoring the 1.8 g part after each parabola - the zero g don't come for free. The acceleration on New Shepard is much lower and even the max acceleration experienced during landing should be in the same ballpark of <2 g

This would be even more difficult to achieve than previous attempts (e.g. in the Linux kernel [0]) due to the fact that an attacker needs to corrupt thousands of repositories that are guaranteed to be part of the training set. Potential att

Maybe you should look at what was actually done for JWST. The ignorance is really getting on my nerves. The mirror required a primary mirror segment assembly capable of surviving a rocket launch and still being able to be deployed in space

It wasn't "the government" that built JWST, though, it was companies (and universities). edit: I'm also getting tired of the "but rockets!"-trope. It's not a new invention, Saturn V was more powerful, an

All I can see is a cube map. Looking at the source code of the scene confirms this: it's just a traditional skybox projected onto the mesh. No raytracing there, just plain old cube-mapped reflections.

That might be true for individuals of the same (social) species, but I don't think that's a given in the context of technological civilisations competing for resources.

Interesting. This was the first thing that I though, too. All that seems to be missing is some proper motion planning. I wonder if the limited on-board compute capabilities would allow for this.
