It's not because they repealed them that they don't work. It could also be a symptom of the current times in which wealthy people became extremely good at influencing politics to reinforce their position.

The ISS orbits 16 times per day. In 3 days roughly 50 orbits.

$220M / (40000*50) = $110/Km. Still expensive, but at least we now have a number (a trip from NYC to Paris, first class cabin, is roughly $1/Km)

I still can’t believe they went for that

I don’t think that the assumption is that the natural world is dumb. The scientific discovery process aims to highlight new insights to help us make a better and useful description of the world. Implying that the starting point is "dumb" is incorrect. The starting point is a blank page, that will be filled by the research, whatever they find out.

A 50B$ problem is only 5 years of these 10B$ per year. I’d be surprised if Apple wasn’t on it.

People here regularly recommend a brand of dumb tv that is very reasonable in terms of image quality.

Pakistan is also burning itself with these crazies.

Isn't it the meteorological standard that temperature should be taken in the shadow, 1m from the ground? Maybe other factors are taken into account.

OP is just saying that audits would be nice, which is true.

Many facts that cannot be proven or documented are most likely fabricated to fit in a biography that sounds too artificial to be real.

Yeah once one realizes that yields are directly influenced by supply and demand, then that is the right conclusion. Political irrationality and specific interests are what’s holding us down. It is said that one day, if the CCP has to choose between relaxing power or scarifying economic growth, they would sacrifice economic growth without blinking. The same can be said about the 1% in western countries.

is starlink available everywhere now??

I am not suggesting but saying that the CCP has a pool of members to tap into and is able to force companies to make them members of their board. Junior members will grow older, can be board member of small companies in the countryside in the beginning, then evolve as they grow. Older members can be board members of 10+ Big companies.

There you go.

How does it scale?

Seems to scale pretty well.

‘Many forms of secure messaging systems have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that Signal is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that Signal is the worst messaging except for all those other forms that have been developed from time to time…’

Well that’s probably something that hasn’t crossed their mind. Shitting on the US is not on the "avoid" list of Israelis.

What data point have you that tells you that sanctions are not effective?

That doesn't have anything to do with the subject: a uncomfortable report was buried.

That sounds expensive. How does this compare to the offering of Ikea in Europe?

The prices include taxes & installation, and it's probably not the best deal.

And is now pushing for the EU to label gas as "green" and oppose the same label for nuclear energy.

Beautiful.

No no, the companies executing the contracts are the experts, they know what’s best to put in them. It comes as free consult.

Edit: if only this was a joke.

Yeah, I've been googling people in the last months (job search, interview prep) and google is really bad with homonyms. Occurrences like in this article is the norm when you're not looking for someone famous. Says a lot that Google rolled it out.

Spoiler alert: in 10 years a leak reveals that ProtonMail is one of the multiple "Swiss-based privacy-oriented" services operated by secret services.

Neat! Wolfram alpha also does it.

When ideals contradict the business model.

Once the discussion on whether the EU can enforce laws over its territory is over, one can think about the content of GDPR and how its guidelines are good practices that your users will appreciate, even if GDPR doesn't apply to you.

Also, 1 and 2 might be valid for the film industry, but the advertising/tv industry are not bothered by that. There are so many languages in the EU, I can see how this could be a very useful tech.

Yeah, that probably mixed with the idea that they should leave the space to local players (who will magically develop a cutting edge know-how?)

It's a spectrum, not a black or white issue.
