It’s an appalling situation IMHO - watching the lack of regulations for “space litter” and ignorance of one man combined ruining earths orbit for generations to come is a disgrace. I get the point of providing global connectivity and it mig

It was painful to watch and i won’t have a second look. It would have been as simple as adding a short “Professional CGI Artists. No actual instrument and tools were harmed.” to set a lighter tone and take the pain away. Given the raging di

While interesting and putting perspectives into place I’m having a really hard time following how there can be a black hole merger area (let alone the black hole era) having the model of redshift engrained in my brain. Serious question: wou

Maybe time to rethink the way fines are determined. I’d be very much in favour of the “swiss model” for traffic fines - based on your income. You did X wrong, here’s the set price from our catalogue vs. you did X wrong and based on your ear

There’s process and digital tools on the one end and on the other the ugly truth that almost everyone building spaces - be it commercial or residential - will be fed up with the low wages they get for the treciourous work they have to do in

Plus it was crystal clear to anyone remotely aware of where assisted driving was and is at that time that it’s simply bogus and outright dumb and dangerous calling it “Autopilot”. Such a sad case of wishful thinking for the domestic economy

People weren’t killed though relying on a catastrophically named “feature”. I still can’t get my head around that anyone let them call it “Autopilot” from the get go - especially in a country that has manufacturers of microwave ovens put a
