I am well aware El Chalten is in Argentina, hopefully there's not a requirement to have a national base station to serve a particular country. The Patagonian location should be able to cover both Argentina and Chile effectively. Intere

Those stations in Chile are going to revolutionise comms down there. I trekked to El Chalten in 2019 and the entire town was connected with a ~150mb microwave link. With thousands of tourists in town it had slowed to a crawl. Starlink won’

Sewerage isn’t particularly accurate. Australian cities have been Covid free for the last 6 months yet there are continual reports of virus in the sewerage. It seems some recovered cases shed the virus for months after the infectious period

Wow, hopefully they are getting enough in donations/sponsorship to compensate them for their extraordinary efforts. It’s very easy to see these skills getting snapped up for a multiple 6 figure salary in the near future…

While this may be true I always assumed the strongest reason for including this in insurance quotations was the lower risk of fraudulent claims from those with stronger finances.

> businesses do not try to cut the pay of remote workers Until businesses provide free transport to work and pay employees for their commute time I'd say it's reasonable to offer lower pay for remote work than on-premise work.

Just to be clear such a machine has not yet been built. This is only a theoretical paper at the moment.

They produce a new non reusable second stage for each launch which is constructed in a similar manner to the first stage (just far smaller) so they are keeping their skills current.

By the time you add overheads to the cost of that developer it is much closer to a junior than a senior in most of the developed world.

From looking at my feed now I'd suggest its far more than 4%. All of the manufactured outrage and angry posting on news stories has disappeared leaving my feed with a few group posts and a bunch of ads.

As an Australian this morning my Facebook feed is a bit of a wasteland. None of my friends were really sharing anything so the only content in my feed is now ads and posts from groups I'm members of. All of the "news" has bee

I imagine something as large as a railway is already covered (especially with the railfan community). In fact in most locations they actually include the number of tracks, passing loops and other features that a simple GPS track will not ha

"UK 'Kent' variant with the E484K mutation - it was seen in 11 out of 214,159 samples"[1] There's been only a handful of cases with that variation in the UK, it is not the dominant strain which the AstraZeneca resul

The UK and South African variants are actually not all that similar. Only the South African variant has large changes to the spike protein. This is why the UK is putting so much effort into stopping the spread of the SA variant right now.

The Oxford vaccine which was paused is not mRNA it is adenovirus. GSK has recently announced plans to produce a multi-valent mRNA vaccine for distribution next year so mRNA is not necessarily limited to a single variant. https://

The dominant strain of Covid in South Africa is different and existing vaccines are far less effective at countering due to changes in the spike protein which these vaccines target. The effectiveness against this strain is not 60-80% as it

People forget that WhatsApp used to have a subscription that cost $1 per year. With 1 billion users that's plenty enough money to pay for their infrastructure. Imagine if they'd kept that business model rather than being bought ou

Blackberry support was also huge, as countries like Indonesia moved off BBM they migrated to WhatsApp en masse.

From the FAQ on their pricing page: "Can I acquire a mix of licenses? No, all users in the group need to be on the same plan." Which is frankly stupid. You make more money from 20 devs on ultimate and the rest of the company (100)

I think this is where a lot of the stress comes from. Not for profits attract the kind of employees who are out to save the world not just earn a pay check so stepping back from work (and therefor saving the world a little less) is more dif

Sure, but there's other cheaper/simpler methods of vaccinating against Covid-19. Moderna has the inside track with $2.5Bn of government funding and a wealthy country able to afford their more complex vaccine. We'll probably f

And finding these bugs of comparable severity isn't worth the $250k each time? I can easily see the iCloud photo worming one making it's way into mainstream media and causing millions of dollars of reputational damage.

As long as they ban ALL news this will make Australia a much better place. Facebook is a hive of fake news, rumors and fearmongering. If users had to go to alternative websites to obtain news they'd be far more likely to land upon repu
