There has to be more to it than that. I seriously doubt that the entire country of Romania is sitting on TikTok, and was so easily swayed. Also, when I hear "looks to be funded by Russians and Chinese, no proof so far but it seems qui

That's why I said "if all the space providers work together". That obviously includes SpaceX - they would be doing the heavy lifting here (mind pun intended). > NO company or Government on Earth Not that it's a possi

Keep in mind that Kuiper satellite is 600kg, while Starlink is 260. So you would have to adjust the math. I am sure it's doable if all the space providers work together and there aren't any showstoppers.

I doubt that very much. Gwynne Shotwell stated multiple times that they will work with whoever. In addition, SpaceX is already contracted for 3 launches of Kuiper.

Not sure if they are dead in the water or not. However, they have until July 30, 2026 to deploy half of their fleet or they lose the FCC granted frequencies. The fleet is 3232 satellites. So far they launched 2 test satellites. They cont

You are preaching to the choir here. But with cheating being so trivial and time saving, I think we will simply see more and more of it.

This is nice, but it's not at all how students use ChatGPT (anecdotal based on my kid and her friends who are at the uni right now). The way they actually use is to get ChatGPT to generate ALL their homework and submit that. And somet

So then it should be called "Popular Vote" and not "Interstate Compact". It just obfuscates the issue.

by starik36 2y ago
Exactly, they called it something else in order to obfuscate the issue. Call it what it is.

How is this different from popular vote?

For sure. I am asking who could they have picked after Biden's performance at the debates? E.g. after the damage was done. Kamala was probably the most prominent of all democrats at the time. The alternative would have been some no n

A bunch of people I know have moved out of the State. Mostly because housing here is completely unaffordable for an average couple. And it is doable in other states.

Who else could they have possibly picked on such a short notice? I think, it made sense at the time - now, of course, we can all Monday morning quarterback.

They already have lion's share of NASA and Space Force govt contracts. Cargo runs to ISS, bringing astronauts to and from ISS, NROL missions, scientific missions (like Europa Clipper recently).

I wouldn't qualify it as a subsidy. It was a credit that you take on your taxes. It's picking nits, sure, but subsidy sounds like the federal govt rolled up a truck full of money at EV car makers' factories.

A relative worked at Fisker recently. The loan you are talking about was in 2009. That version of Fisker went out of business in 2014. The most "recent iteration" of Fisker was basically a company from scratch. It was only call

That is amazing. Mine lasted for a super long time as well, and like you, I upgraded everything to its max. I think it was the last model with a 17 inch screen. Sold mine last year for $100 to some dude who claimed to have some software th

Why not. Looking at the prices 128GB NVME is $15 on amazon. That's also the price of various micro SD cards.

by starik36 2y ago
It would be cool to have a nex gen RPi (perhaps even the Zero edition) that does away with the micro SD slot and replaces it with a built in NMVe one. In addition, replace most of the other ports (microUSB, etc...) with a number of USB-C po

If the legislature focused on passing thoughtful laws and not feel good nonsense designed to appease their base, we might get somewhere. But specifically to homelessness, obviously no easy solutions since the problem has been allowed to go

.NET Core is my favorite way to quickly implement an app to run on a Raspberry Pi. Just basically copy & paste into a folder, chmod the executable and off you go. I have a number of these devices running in the house doing various thin

Not really. Winforms have been updated to .net core. And a bunch of handy features to modernize it have been added. I'd say it's the simplest and quickest way to go if you need to bang out a quickie app for Windows only. https:

Civil litigation basically means that the taxpayers are on the hook for any damages. I am betting if there were to be personal responsibility, these types are acts would be history.
