101404··on SpaceX loses its third Starship prototype during a cryogenic test
The Starship is made of steel. It costs only 3% of the price of the previous design. So they can burn through a lot of prototypes to improve design and manufacturing, before costs becomes an issue.
101404··on SpaceX loses its third Starship prototype during a cryogenic test
It's only half a year ago that they started to develop the prototype. In October last year, they switched to steel.

Moon? I hope the first cargo Starship will leave for Mars by then. Otherwise we'd need to wait until 2024.
101404··on SpaceX loses its third Starship prototype during a cryogenic test
Both guesses are wrong.
101404··on SpaceX loses its third Starship prototype during a cryogenic test
This is a very early prototype. Plan is to build at least 20 of them to try and test ideas and configurations.

Some days ago I read that they are currently trying to reduce material thickness to reduce weight. Maybe that contributed to the RUD.

101404··on Unauthorized access to cameras in Safari on macOS and iOS
Every computer controlled camera and microphone should come with an actual mechanical switch that cuts power.
101404··on Boeing 787s must be turned off and on every 51 days to prevent 'misleading data'

Not published April 1.

101404··on Does your video call have End-to-End Encryption? Probably not
Should I care? My conversations in a Café don't have e2e either.
101404··on Anthony Fauci Shows Us the Right Way to Be an Expert
Please look up the term "democracy".
101404··on Planning and Managing Layoffs
Why would you fix errors on weekends? (except for critical stuff, and then take off a weekday instead, of course).

Errors are a normal thing for human work, especially software developer. Nothing you are "guilty of" and have to make right with your own money/time (same thing).

101404··on Planning and Managing Layoffs
What have you points to do with what OP said?

Homeoffice, flex time? That's all things that benefit the company just as much.

No relations to working only the hours they are getting paid for.

But that's the trick. You are presenting unrelated things as if they had to do more than agreed upon just to get those. Pretty cheap attempt to guild tripping.

101404··on India’s Covid 19 Moment of Truth
Nobody is "spreading hatred". Please stop abusing this term to further your agenda. Thank you.
101404··on Amazon fires worker who led strike over virus
Maybe with US unions.

It very much depends on the legal framework that organized workers and organized employers interact in.

101404··on Google emphasizes popularity over accuracy
There was the Open Directory Project. Then AOL bought it and killed it. This is the archived remains:

101404··on Court: Violating a site’s terms of service isn’t criminal hacking
"US court"
101404··on Zoom meetings aren’t end-to-end encrypted, despite marketing
Why? How is it related to Jira?
101404··on Zoom meetings aren’t end-to-end encrypted, despite marketing
Yes, of course you can. But the recording has to be done on one of the clients.

Then the other client can download the video via the same e2e tunnel.

101404··on NASA picks SpaceX to deliver cargo to the Lunar Gateway
Weird, because of was since the early days of Starlink.

"Not to go bankrupt" was only the response to a question about taking Starlink public. Please don't spread lies by taking quotes out of context.

101404··on NASA picks SpaceX to deliver cargo to the Lunar Gateway
70+ years of of "aid" have destroyed Africa. Good thing not to participate in that scam.
101404··on NASA picks SpaceX to deliver cargo to the Lunar Gateway
"People in rural Africa should not have internet because I want an unobstructed view of the stars" ...is not a good argument.

The only good place for a telescope is the far side of the moon.

101404··on How to burn the most money with a single click in Azure
AWS should have a cost cap. Set a max spend value and shut down all servers if you spent it.
101404··on How to burn the most money with a single click in Azure
That's the reason I never went with cloud hosting. No kidding.
101404··on The U.S.'s $13B aircraft carrier has a toilet problem
If all that can be flushed is human waste and paper, then why not put it directly into the ocean? It's quickly and completely bio degradable (eaten by fish and micro organisms).
101404··on Top VPNs recording users, potentially leaking data when visiting their websites
Not really. VPN is great to be able to connect from a different country that has fewer of less severe restrictions on free speech, for example.
101404··on Coronavirus Heroes Are Getting Tossed from Their Homes by Scared Landlords
Strange argument, because children don't get Covid-19. They may carry the SarsCoV2 virus, but that's about all.
101404··on Bosch develops rapid test for Covid-19
"Up to" is a synonym for "not more than but probably fewer".

So it doesn't really say how many tests it can process in a real-world setting.

101404··on Social distancing slowing not only Covid-19, but other diseases too
Sounds more like more people are taking their temperature despite not feeling sick. Hence the sudden increase in readings they receive. So a pronounced decline in the percentage of high temperature readings should be expected.
101404··on I got my file from Clearview AI
And it only took them 2 years to act on it. Wow.
101404··on G7 statement canceled: US wants to call it the Wuhan virus
"Presumably CCP generated"??

Are we preparing to blame that on Trump too, now?

101404··on I got my file from Clearview AI
Wrong.

PII may only be processed if you have explicitly consent for the exact purpose you want to use it for.

There is no "open" personal data you may just use for anything.
