Because of companies like Novo Nordisk, Ikea and so on? Almost all lists of new start ups look stupid, in the US as well as Europe. If anything the ideas often look even more delusional in the US.

I've had colleagues working on a pulsar navigation system to improve on star sightings. The idea is to look for the X-ray signals coming from pulsars and then use the frequency of the pulse to identify the pulsar and then match that to

Growth will handle that for a while, so I don't think enshittification will start just yet. But eventually it will go the same way as all the rest.

Why is it your job to police the browsers people use?

by verzali 2y ago
It sounds like the easiest solution would be to install another browser (e.g. Firefox) until they fixed the issue. If it is only the combination of Chrome and Linux that is the problem, that is.

Linux Mint is very usable these days. I switched a few months ago because I couldn't stand how bloated Windows 11 was. I haven't regretted it: it's actually refreshing how Mint just does want an OS should do and doesn't

That type of journalism exists, people just don't read it. Look at what makes the front page of HN. It's more often headlines that sound interesting than well researched content. Good content really is out there, but people aren&#

They would normally have to do a debris analysis. I would expect them to burn up, because we'll have a real problem if Starlink satellites start surviving reentry. But it's possible that since this is a very low injection point an

They don't. Only very big or dense satellites will have anything reach the ground. Most burn up completely in the atmosphere.

...is this satire? I honestly have a hard time believing anyone could survive doing what he says he did in the Himalayas without learning to spell "rappel" if it isn't.

I'd be surprised if it was more than a gigabyte. I work in spacecraft operations and the sampling and telemetry rates are not that high. At most they'll be monitoring a few hundred parameters at the order of 10Hz. That doesn'

I've lived snd worked in four different EU countries. Yes, each has some paperwork to do, but none came with the problems you describe. For the most part it was pretty easy, and anything that remained could be solved by paying someone

Reminds me a bit of 2008, when I'd regularly encounter recently laid off bankers getting drunk and bemoaning their situation with some passion. It was hard to have much sympathy for people who'd earned enormous salaries and someho

This article is about 3 years late, Parker first flew through the Sun's atmosphere in 2021. This is its closest approach but definitely not the first time it's doing it.

Sonic booms are way worse than general aviation noise. A one off boom, sure, but when its every day that's got to drive you crazy.

It makes sense if you expect to have a lot of employees based there, which I imagine they want. But it also seems odd to plan a big population center near to the launch site given the loud sonic booms it will be generating. And as you say,

Mostly to northern Europe. Pay is actually much higher in Germany, the UK, Scandinavia than in Italy and all are quite easy for young Italians to move to (Ok, the UK is not that easy these days).

Italy is suffering more from several decades of political dysfunction and a long term stagnant economy.

It actually makes sense though. If they can get a usable phone for about $100, then they can break at least 10 of them before they are even close to the cost of a single iphone. With that kind of reasoning you can afford to do much more ris

Do you know why they haven't taken it further? The page talks about Zephyr drones as a follow-up, but I can't find much about them actually doing any further tests.

The original effort was all the way back in 1997 by a company called Teledesic. But it was essentially abandoned after other satcom constellations like Iridium when bankrupt. Loon was an interesting attempt. I'm surprised we don't

Down to 22.1 million now though, I think is the point. But honestly, twitter never forms much of the conversation outside of media types.

It is literally a sample that was collected in space and returned to Earth on Hyabusa 2. > Sample A0180 is a 1 × 0.8 mm regolith particle collected by the JAXA Hyabusa 2 mission to asteroid 162173 Ryugu. Samples were collected from Ryugu
